Hi Evelyn,

I suggest a trial of natural progesterone cream, as per Dr. John R. Lee, M.D.
in the book, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause. Also, see
Natural Hormone Balance for Women, by Dr. Uzzi Reiss, M.D. Additionally, they
provide some explanations that fit in to some extent with Paleo eating theory
regarding how women achieved such disastrous hormonal imbalances in the first
place. Another excellent reference which touches on this topic is Lights Out!
by T.S. Wiley and Bent Formby.
