Bio identical hormones

[terry brown]

Hello Raw Friends,
I am over two weeks raw and really enjoying it.
I am 5o and have taken bio identical progesterone for years and estrogen for a year. I have really enjoyed the benefits.
Now throught muscle testing I am told my liver does not respond well to the progesterone.
I would love to hear from anyone that has balanced their hormones and feel great over 50.

Hey there! Congrads on your time Raw.

My hormones have balanced themselves by going totally Raw. I don't get the hot flashes like I was pre-Raw. I SLEEP wonderfully now and my mental clarity soars...

It (Raw) works!

Raw alone or with maca seems to work for most.

Now how did I miss this thread! ;)

I'm 54 and have been on BHRT for almost 5 years now. I cannot say I feel fantastic because even after all these years, it's still a work in progress. Always in flux.

If your liver doesn't care for progesterone, you may want to look into the cream form. It's applied topically and therefor bypasses the liver. Same can be said for sublingual.

I've had 4 prescribing MDs and they all say topical cream is the way to go. My current (holistic) MD highly recommends ordering through Women's International Pharmacy (in AZ and WI) because of their proprietary cream base. The absorption rate (according to my doctor) is the best around.

I've used 5 different pharmacies for my BHRT over the years and I have to say, for me - I agree with my doctor. I like WIP's cream base the best.

I take 3 separate compounds - estradiol, progesterone and testosterone. *Ü*

*Back to add - what type of estrogen are you taking? Does your Rx say estrogen ~ or estrone, estradiol, estriol... just curious. I'm also curious how your bios are compounded - pills, troches..?

I'm 52 now, raw 2.5 years, no symptoms anymore. Had slight hot flashes and some other mild annoying symptoms that the herb motherwort took care of. Never took hormones.

Heck, I don't even know what "bio identical progesterone" is/are. I'm heading onto 61 and take nothing. Had a miserable time with menstrual, had some personal summers for awhile ~ now, smooooth sailing!

Drugs will affect the liver because the liver doesn't recognize them, accumulates because it doesn't know what else to do with them. I don't do them. Learned the hard way after 13 years on "the pill" and my liver hemorrhaged. No drugs, no doctors for ummm, hmm, 29 years now.
