Hormones and Raw Food Diet

[GayleH]

I am a 56 years old woman and have been a vegan for 30 years. I am just becoming a raw foodist. Over the past few years I have been taking numerous natural hormone replacement creams but would like to totally go off of them. Have any of you had experiences with not needing these kinds of supplements once you were 100% raw? :)

Hi,

I too am 56 years old. I started the raw food diet in Jan of 07. Prior to that I ate SAD. I was not using any hormone replacements when I went raw but had stopped taking premerin just a few months prior.

I can tell you that all my menopausal symptoms vanished on the raw food diet. No more night sweats, hot flash's, or rapid heart rates. I fell off the raw wagon a couple months ago and have been struggling to get back on. I did notice a return of some hot flashes, but not as bad as before.

Good luck and let us know how it goes for you on the raw foods
