2005 - 9 flushes 2007 - 2 flushes WOW!! It’s cool to have done enough flushes to see differences and to play with the recipe. I hated the olive oil and tried pecan oil this weekend...no taste whatsoever! I will try sunflower in 2 wks. The main difference with the 2 flushes is that I am passing stuff in to the evening this go around. In 2005, all my flushes were mostly ’done’ by noon. I ran out to my husband at 10pm last night screaming ”guess what? I FINALLY am passing the yellow sand!” WOOHOO!!! Happy Flushing everyone... AP   [End]

YES!! It happened to me too!! It doesn’t happen to everyone...but there are a lucky bunch (me included) that a similar situation has happened to. I remember thinking...oh no, so THIS is what it feels like before you get taken to the ER! ;) Once I ’went’ to the bathroom and expelled the stuff, I got better. It’s just your body’s way of reacting to whatever bad stuff you are trying to pass. I am sure some far more brilliant people than me will respond to this and explain it. And as they say...better out than in! KEEP FLUSHING! AP   [End]

Hi Joanne, While I was never on Mirena...I did let a gyn put me on the pill at the age of 12 and BLINDLY trusted him.

Hi Lynn, I am on 5 bio identicals and take 1mg (1 pill) of melatonin to sleep at night. I have been on Iodoral for the same amount of time as hormone and melatonin (3 months) and haven’t noticed a change yet. It’s so nice to share our sitatuations and learn from each other. :) AP   [End]

Hi Hanna... My ND said my levels were low too and put me on D3 as well. This is the brand/exact item I use and my doc says it’s a quality supp. I just bought some more D3 from this site yesterday... http://store.thecatalog.com/0365.html My first blood test showed my level was 15 (so I took 4 pills at bedtime) My second blood test showed it had gone up to 40 but it should be between 50-100 (so he increased me to 5 at bedtime). HOPE THIS HELPS!! I get plenty of sun and eat wayyyyy healthy but my levels just need a boost. And I am sure you’re aware that this D3 is the stud ...

I am just shocked and so grateful that you shared this. My feet have been bothering me for the past 2 wks...and the only thing different is that I have been starting the dishwasher during the day. When Hubby does it...he sets it for night. WOW. Thanks for sharing this...you will help more people than you know. :) AP   [End]

Hi Fordk.... I cried the entire day I got diagnosed...and not even because I had a grasp of it all. That was a year ago and I had gone undiagnosed for over 20 years. The best advice I can tell you is to read and RESEARCH for youself. And just because a doctor tells you something...ALWAYS question it. Learn for yourself... Be your own advocate! My doctor (3 hours away) refused to take a follow up phone call to answer some of questions, so I never saw her again. (She did several other odd things too!) Always demand the best care. If you are EVER treated the way I was...keep loo ...

Your doctor is wrong. Who should you believe? A doctor who get s $$ to prescribe a med that is pushed from a SALESMAN. Or all the other women who are in your shoes and experiencing the same things you are? Antidepressants made me sooooo sick. It was worse than the depression! My doc told me I’d be on antidepressants and suffer from depression the rest of my life. I told him I wanted to try something natural. He said NO. He told me NOT to believe what I read on the internet, it’s all fake. That was the last time I saw him and when I started researching and reading as much as I co ...

Wow...what a fascinating post. I maybe made a connection with my health thanks to everyones comments. I am 35 and started having menopause symptoms at the age of 27 but nothing was diagnosed until I was 34. Put on BCP at age of 12 because I bled for 2 months straight...stayed on it until I got married at 31 because I thought it ’fixed’ the problem. Now I know it wrecked my body’s ability to make it’s own hormones. I have PCOS, insulin resistance and am on 5 natural bio-identical hormones including progesterone DAILY because I need it. No babies thanks to the pill... I have been ...
