Q  My daughter started throwing epileptic fits after she started puberty.  I am convinced these are connected to her hormones?


Sally's Comment:  Yes, Epilepsy starting in puberty may well be due to hormonal imbalance.
There is certainly a lot of hope for your daughter's epilepsy if it is an oestrogen dominant epilepsy ... i.e. it started as she went into puberty.  Progesterone has amazing results with this type of epilepsy. Supplementation with a natural progesterone for these children is vital.  If she is stressed her need for progesterone will increase, as the stress hormones that are manufactured from progesterone, deplete her progesterone levels at this time. She must therefore double the dose during stress.  She will soon be able to wean herself off her drugs. I must emphasize that for the first month or so she will go through a detox of oestrogen, and until she has done this she should stay on her drugs.  The release of this oestrogen that has been lying dormant on the receptor sites will increase the oestrogen dominance for a while.  My recommendation is to double the recommended dose for the first 2 weeks at least.

Hi Sally,
Just a short e mail to say hi and hope you are both well.
Just before my walk in the vineyard this morning I was flicking through the TV channels and came to this programme 3 talk on Sabc Africa. We don’t get Sabc 1 2 or 3.And they were discussing bones etc. What a load of rubbish and the gynaecologist ended with his words of wisdom that all women need estrogen for their bones and da da da.
It again just made me so thankful that you were an answer to my prayers when I was going through that tough time four years ago with the menopause and continual bleeding etc. Thank you Sally for all that you have done for me and given me the knowledge so that I can pass on the TRUTH to many ignorant people.
I have found over these last four years that with many of the women I have talked to, the ones who have stuck with the cream and altering their life styles and making good choices and becoming responsible for their own bodies are the ones who are converted and spread the message. So many just tried the cream for a few months, tossed it aside and have gone on with their old life styles. And they are suffering now. A lot simply refuse to believe that the cream can do so much good. I have example after example of "friends" who are battling health issues because not only do they refuse to buy the cream[ bleating its too expensive but go on overseas holidays regularly or change their habits of drinking diet coke etc. One friend is religiously swallowing fosamex and complaining of stomach ailments. and another has crippled fingers but keeps on drinking sodas. I now just refuse that they will steal my joy and we avoid the health topic altogether.
But I have had a few wonderful converts.
Thanks Sally for letting me be a part of your team I really do appreciate it and I press on because of the few out there who genuinely want my help.
Take care and bless you both,
Avis
