Does Anyone Have Any Suggestions About Treatments For Menopause Other Than Hormone Replacement Therapy?

My mom is 50yrs old and she has been going through menopause since last Jan. She uses progestercare cream from the health food store but she doesnt want to do hormone replacement therapy or premprose because they increase the risk of breast cancer. Her doctor is telling her that she will develop osteoporosis if she doesnt get on some sort of HRT though. Can anyone give her any advice on what to do? Are there any natural ways that anyone has tried that worked? And does anyone know if not going on HRT can really cause osteoporosis?

Your mom is on the right track using natural progesterone. It’s the ONLY substance that has been shown to REBUILD bone, from the inside out.
(Natural progesterone does NOT cause cancer like synthetic HRT does. In fact, it helps protect against cancer.)
Estrogen (in the synthetic HRT) only delays bone breakdown, and it only works for four to five years. The problem is that it actually stops the bone from performing its natural cycle – breaking down old bone and rebuilding new to replace it. If old bone is not being broken down, there is no new bone being rebuilt! After five years on HRT, bone will be brittle.
Have her read Dr. John Lee’s book “What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause”. He explains it very well!
He also gives guidelines for finding a quality progesterone cream. She may want to compare the one she’s using to his recommendations.
Your mom’s doctor is not fully informed. Dr. Lee says, “You can educate your doctor, or find a new one.”
Here is a great no nonsense book that basically tells you everything you need to know about menopause and how to treat it naturally. It also dispells the myths abou tmenopause and answers all your questions.

Dried dates: Soak 6-8 dried dates in a cup of warm water and leave overnight. Eat them first thing the next morning and drink the water as well. Try for 3-4 weeks.
About the risk of breast cancer I found this:
“1. No side effects: It’s a natural hormone to the body with no undesirable side effects, when used as directed. Don’t mistake this with synthetic progestins, which are unnatural. Tests show they can cause harmful side effects including, partial loss of vision, birth defects, and breast cancer.”
