Re: Chinese Bitters & progesterone cream?
Hi Dianna!
Okay, from what I know about hormones, the progesterone cream IS overkill.
As you've learned, the liver is responsible for metabolizing and regulating hormones. So a healthy liver means healthy hormones. Yippee! Also, I'd wait awhile before doing another flush (stresses liver) and see what the herbs do for you first - give them at least 2-4 weeks if you can, and DO eat a liver-supporting diet!!!!!!!!! :) (see www.liverdoctor.com for that)
The cream is a version of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT), isn't it? If it is, then you should read up on this. I've been reading up on it as I'm reaching that age when it becomes an issue, and I refuse to do it. When you give the body something it can make for itself, it tends to STOP making it. It manufacturers fewer precursors to the hormone and thus you need more HRT and it becomes a vicious cycle.
If you Google HRT etc. you'll find that old data says to do it, new data says not to.
HOpe that helps! :)
