Q  My doctor says I am have insulin resistance and could develop Diabetes and that my hormones are all over the place.  Please advise me.


Sally's Comment:   IF you are suffering from Insulin resistance, you probably have PCOD which in turn has totally messed up your hormones.
The hormone the medical profession is looking for when they give you a hormonal blood test at around 40 , is oestradial, because they think that  peri-menopause and menopausal problems are due to oestrogen deficiency.  However, oestradiol should be low  in menopause (any age now from 34 on). The change has actually come from Progesterone deficiency which arises in peri-menopause once you stop ovulating.   Progesterone will balance everything as it should be in your body at the age you are (as Nature intended it be anyway!!!!).  Remember this therapy is prompting your body to heal itself, so do NOT expect instant success.  We look at 3 months to get the total balance back.
If your insulin is up, you MUST cut out all refined carbohydrates and sugar ... junk food!  This is slowly killing you.  Take charge of your life from now and you will regain optimum health.
Supplements I strongly recommend are Omega 3 Fatty acids (salmon oil), a good, wholefood vitamin and mineral supplement (GNLD or Solgar) and an anti-oxidant formula. (You can order these on this site)
Follow the Patrick Holford GL Diet.  It is the only real healthy diet and address the problem of insulin resistance.

Q:  I have tried coming off HRT before but have suffered serious withdrawal symptoms, so have gone straight back onto it.  I know I need to get off this drug.  Please help!

Sally's Comment:  Always come off drugs slowly.  Your body has become used to them and you could have withdrawal effects if you come off the HRT too quickly.
I suggest you immediately start using Naturone and then wean yourself off HRT over 3 - 6 months, whichever is best for you.  Some people can come off fairly quickly without having withdrawal symptoms, others need longer.  On a pill, it is easy , as you would miss every other day for the first month, miss 2 days between dose in the second month. miss 3 days in the third month etc. With the patch, you would cut a quarter out of the patch used in the first month. a half off the second month, 3/4 the 3rd month etc.  The implant you just never take another one, but may use more Naturone for those months until you feel totally balanced.

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.

I was going to give you a call but will drop you a short e-mail in the meantime. I wanted to tell you that I started taking progesterone in November, Pip actually gave me a sample when he popped in to see my Mom and Dad and then I came to a talk and carried on with it. I have been trying to fall pregnant since the beginning of last year – not ovulating – and low and behold, am now 12 weeks pregnant! (just 3 month’s later) The progesterone definitely worked for me, unless the fertility dolls from a friend in Kenya did the trick!

Sally once said: PROGESTERONE THERAPY IS NATURE'S VALIUM AND ONE OF IT'S WONDERFUL EFFECTS IS CALMING AND MAKING YOU NON-REACTIVE. PEOPLE USE IT TO SLEEP

Thanks Sally. Now I understand why I am so calm in Traffic when I used to be a wreck before. I can recommend it for all would be "road-ragers."
Regards Sylvia

NATURONE has helped me so very much.
As I told you Shirley got me started. She said to me last year, "Susan, I think what you need is natural progesterone cream".
To cut a long story short, I had decided I would not be going the HRT route and although I am so glad I made this decision, it has been a difficult one, since the effects of menopause, like the hot flushes and moods swings have been awful.
Once I began using the natural Progesterone cream and getting used to the amount I needed to balance my system, my skin has improved, my energy levels better, mood swings have disappeared, my weight seems more balanced and most of all the hot flushes have lessened and almost down to nothing now.
So I am keen to assist others who are battling with various problems also and would like to become a promoter of your product.
Thank you once again
Sincerely
Susan Huntingford
