As one who has been thru 13 years of menopausal symptoms so far, I can tell you that the sumptoms are hard to control with natural methods especially as they get worse and worse. I can't see how cleansing would affect the hormones.

However, if you decide on hrt, I would have to recommend bio-identical hormones, which are as close to natural as possible. I suffered for years because i refused to take synthetic hormones due to their dangerous prediliction for causing cancer. Our own government recently HALTED a study on HRT due to an unprecedented increase in cancer among the participants. You know if our pharmaceutical-supporting government says they cause cancer (or halts a study so they don't get sued), you can bet the consequences are even worse than they are admitting to!
