2 1/2 years Post Op Total Abdominal Hysterectomy – Liz ’ s Story
Well ladies what can I say. I used this Forum a lot initially after my Op but was always optimistic I would be OK. How wrong I was. I’m not able to take HRT (history of breast cancer in family, and abnormal cells found earlier this year – so it`s definitely a no-no.

Weight Loss: Do Calories Count?
Are you overweight? Are you battling to lose those excess pounds around your middle? If yes, you are definitely not alone in your struggle. According the NHS study, “Statistics on obesity, physical activity and diet: England 2011”, more than half of the adult population are overweight (66% of men and 57% of women). Included in these figures are nearly a quarter of people who are considered obese (22% of men and 24% of women). Would the figures change much if this study had included all of the UK? I suspect not.
Everyone knows that being overweight increases the probability of medical problems—but most peo...

Natural Plant Oestrogens – Coumestrol
There are over 300 plants that have oestrogens in them and if they are consumed regularly enough they can have a mild effect on women. The most potent of the plant oestrogens is Coumestrol even though it is about 200 times weaker than human oestrogen.
Because the plant oestrogens have such a mild effect the side effects found with conventional HRT should be avoided. Coumestrol can be found in alfalfa and red clover and can be taken either as tea or sprouted. The seeds must be obtained from a reputable herbalist or health food shop.
Other good sources natural oestrogens are soya beans, soya bean sprouts and crushed linseeds...
