Women’s stories
Blaine’s story:
“You gave me back myself.”
“I went off HRT a year or two ago and-although I was healthy-strange things
began happening that made me feel out of control of my body. I was not myself.
“I had hot flashes, insomnia, vaginal dryness. When I was able to sleep, I’d
still wake up for an hour or two every night. I couldn’t function during the
day. I was tired all the time and starting to feel depressed.
“I left two OB/GYN’s because they weren’t helping me or encouraging
me to get through my symptoms. Then I went to a female general practitioner who
actually listened to me. I told her I didn’t want to go back on HRT; that
I wanted to get through this naturally.
“She was sympathetic and encouraged me to try some natural remedies. I tried
herbs for awhile but the more I read about them the more I realized how careful
you have to be when you take them. I also tried Estrovan, but it didn’t work.
“Then I found the Personal Program on the internet. It sounded different.
I was skeptical at first, but I liked that it gave me a well-rounded plan for how
to live, not just a bunch of pills. I asked my doctor and she said to try it. She
told me if it works, stay on it.
“When I first started the Essential Nutrients, I slept really well after a
few days. Within two weeks I felt other results: I was more relaxed and my thoughts
were more focused. I could have sex without feeling dry. I tried to follow the food
suggestions and I began to notice how what I ate had a lot to do with how I felt.
“I feel better and better all the time. Now, I can tell when I haven’t
done something right because I get a little warm flash almost instantly. I don’t
follow the food requirements all that well but I eat eggs and butter now when I
was afraid to before.
“I think the Personal Program works for me because there is a relationship
that forms. It really is women talking to women. The nurses follow up and call you.
If you get lazy they help you stay on it and answer all your questions. I tell everyone
I can about it. I’m so glad I did it. I’m so thankful I found Women
to Women. You gave me back myself.”
