"By the way I saw your post about the fibrocystic breast disease. I don't know how many capsules a day of wild yam you were taking, but it takes extremely high amounts several months to have any effects on the hormones"
I have no Idea either, as I said in the thread I had tried wild yam a few years prior to it, without any reaction whatsoever.
This time I also got the painful swollen gums, which was even more frightning. I took approx 3-4 capsules a day.
That's not even close enough to produce a hormonal effect on the body. Maybe you are developing an allergy to it.
