Re: Can VITEX cause similar symptoms to progesterone dominance?

Tx for that, i've taken on board about supporting the liver and noticed that i haven't been drinking enough water. When i take the bitters and drink lots of water i find most of my bloating, fatigue symptoms disappear and energy comes back. Indeed i am seeing for myself the importance of liver/kidney support. Makes me wonder is this why the whole endocrine system is struggling. Even seems to help control insulin problems and the adrenal tonic seems to get much more potent. So i shall persist! - by the way i do take TMG also.

Anyway, just a few more questions if ok.

1. When previously taking vietx and wild yam combined i had the same symptoms as taking progesterone cream (bloating, soar breasts - estrogen dominance symptoms or progesterone dominance-confusing). So therefore does Vitex also set off the estrogen receptors also, as apparently does progesterone cream. And is this only temporary effect of hormone balancing? And a sign also that i need to to increase liver detox?

2. I've read phytoestrogens should be tried one at a time - true?

3. What is then the best way to get your hormones tested?

4.Hypothalamus dysfunction- is there are treatment/cure?

By the way, despite what the progesterone peddlers have said to me, very LOW ESTROGEN is indeed an issue (have all the classic signs and serum and salvia tests confirming) and I can't see how ignoring this fact and adding progesterone to the problem is going to fix that. How can they say it's not a problem when my body is crying out that it is.

Good to be back by the way! Hopefully with some most excellent guidance again, i can disappear again!
