Hi Carol, I 49 and i will be 50 in july, since last year i started to feel sick, had to call my neighbor many times to take me to the emergency room in the wee hours of the morning only to be told nothing is wrong or what i'm i stressing about to make my blood pressure so high. so i stop going and try wetting myself when it happen and sing and pray and cry to God for help. Then i went to my doc and told her what was happening to me and that i think it was menopause and she put me on estrogen, (premarin) and emmediately things change for me and i was feeling like myself again. But i was afraid to stay on it because i heard people talk about their bad experience with it, so i only take it for two weeks and then i decided to change my life. first i went on four weeks cleanse and detox.
First i must tell you what i was going though, there were my symtoms .
1)Heart palpitations and very high blood pressure .
2)heat going though the roof and heart racing.
3)Pain in all my joins
4) lost of sleep and appetite
That is to give you a few of the things i was going through. i think i had the whole 66 symptoms . And as i said i change my diet ,.
The first day i had fruit and nuts and drink a lot of water, although i wasnt a juice person in the first place, i would always have water and herb tea.
And so on day 2 i had vegetables lightly tost over the heat without oil or salt.
Day 3- 5 i did a juice fast for the three days. I made the juice from.
6 medium size carrots
2 medium beets
1 bell pepper
1 bunch spinach
2 large cucumber
1 head celery
1/4 lb string bean
And blend with apple juice enough to make 4 quarts and drink for 3 days and i did a enemas after each day.
And then i did a 5 days fruit fast where i eat watermelon, grapes and cantelope.
and after that i lost 18 lbs.
My doc gave me Estroven, which is plant base and have no side effect, so now i'm a little better still get the heat but not so bad i can live with it now.
And i also take vitamin D3, vitamin E, Calcium with magnesium and potassium 1000mg,and 500mg magnesium. and ealts of vegetables and lots of exercise i wake 4 day each week about 3- 4 miles. So my dear Carol don't give up there is hope , i know it is tough but with God's help and each others encouragement we can make it though. so go to your health food store and get Estroven and try it .lots of hugs to all my sisters.Hyacinth!
