You’re welcome! Yeah, this way does take time. It focuses on getting to the root of the problem and then healing that. No telling how long that will take, as we are all different and need to heal from different things. Best of luck to you!

I love this topic. I could talk about skincare and makeup all day! I really like the brand Silk Naturals for makeup, but for a good concealer I like Erin’s Faces.

I’ve been making my way through Nathan Oxenfeld’s book about the Bates method for healing the eyes and improving vision. It’s a very thorough book. I’m finding it difficult to find the time to do all of the exercises required to help me see better, though. Like most things that are worth while, it takes time, effort and patience. I’m 47 and never had eye problems until a couple years ago, when it became difficult to see things close up and I started seeing black spots here and there when there really wasn’t anything. My job requires me to look intently at a monitor for several hours a day, so I’m sure that has something to do with it. 🙂 I’m determined to not wear glasses, so I guess that means I get to go on a healing journey. I’m looking forward to sharing ideas and results with all of you here.

Elin!!!!!!

That’s fantastic! It really does feel soooo good to not have to deal with hot flashes multiple times a day and to finally get some good sleep. Every once in a while I start to feel a hot flash coming, but so far it hasn’t turned into a full blown one. When it happens I just take one Cyclease tablet and I’m good.

Take care!!

Elin! I understand your frustration! I was in the same boat… major sweaty hot flashes at least 12 times a day. Horrible sleep. Super tired. I even worked with a homeopath for a year. Nothing worked long-term UNTIL I listened to an interview of Dr. Garrett Smith on Alec Zeck’s podcast The Way Forward. I was very intrigued. He challenged everything I thought I knew about nutrition. So, like many of us in this space, when I get challenged, I like to dive in and see what’s up. I binge listened to his Youtube livestreams under the name Nutrition Detective. I liked what I learned so much that I joined his Love Your Liver program. It’s a wonderful space with great people and a lot to learn. I’ve been implementing the concepts and principles he teaches for about five months now. I’ve made a lot of big changes to my diet and supplementation. And the hot flashes are fading!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the last couple months I only have one or two major hot flashes a day. The other flashes start and then ebb away without turning into anything major. It seems like a miracle. I also have a ton of energy and am sleeping much better. And my skin is clearing up! Beth Martens also interviewed Garrett Smith a few times. One of the interviews focuses on women’s health. I know another lady in the program who is experiencing the same relief from her hot flashes that I am. One of the many things I like about Dr Smith is that he understands that virus theory is garbage and that cancer is simply our body keeping us alive. He totally gets it.

I hope this info will prove helpful!

I just started taking a liquid zinc as well! I’m vegetarian and thought it would be a good idea to supplement with zinc once in a while.
I’m glad your flashes have calmed down a bit. May they only get less and less frequent and severe!

Great advice! I’ve been doing the same as far as supporting my adrenals… well-balanced meals every four to five hours, cell salts daily, weight lifting for most of my life. I’m guessing that the fact that I was on birth control pills for 17 years has something to do with the hot flashes being so stubborn no matter what I try. I went off them ten years ago and have been diligent in doing cleanses, but I’m sure the repercussions are still lingering. The Cycle-ease has worked well, just like the wild yam progesterone cream and the Chinese herbs, but each remedy seems to have a shelf-life. I’ve been getting mild flashes every few hours. That’s much better than before the Cycle-ease, but it’s more than I’d like! I recently met with a homeopath for the first time and recently started taking the remedy she suggested. Time will tell!!

[Cristina]

Sounds like progress to me!

[Cristina]

It’s so hard to be patient when one is miserable! Maybe Cyclease isn’t the best remedy for you. I actually bought four other remedies because I couldn’t figure out which one would be the best fit. Lots of trial and error!

[Cristina]

Thank you very much, Sherri! Lots of good info there. I’m taking notes! Bless you!

[Cristina]

Hello Sherri! Yes! I would like that very much. Thank you for offering! One can never have too many tools in the toolkit, right?

[Cristina]

Haha! Yeah, wouldn’t it be great if there was only ONE cause for the flashes? It seems that’s so rarely the case for most health issues. Alas.

I’m really glad you only had a couple flashes on that day. Blessed relief! Maybe the pre-op stress really was getting to you!

[Cristina]

Hi Sherri! Thank you for sharing! I’m going to give that a try as well.

[Cristina]

Well, everything in its time, right?
I’d never heard of Shatavari! I just looked it up… sounds beneficial!
My fingers are crossed that your hot flashes are GREATLY reduced very quickly.

[Cristina]

Hi Elin! I started off by taking 4 tablets a day, spaced throughout the day. When I noticed an improvement in symptoms, I brought it down to three a day. A few days later I brought it down to two. Then again waited a few days and brought it down to one. Then again one for a few days and then I stopped. The hot flashes stopped completely in about 5 days, but I wanted to make darn sure I had my bases covered before I stopped taking them! I’ve had only one mild hot flash in about a month, which has been heavenly. I also make sure to eat nutrient dense meals every four to five hours and to not work out too strenuously for too long of a time in order to keep my stress levels down and my adrenals happy. I hope this helps!!
