I tried pretty much everything on the market for menopause/hot flashes, including Promensil and other herbal remedies, hormone creams, visits to mainstream doctors (who wanted to put me on the pill!! ), naturopaths, etc. without any help or relief. It was getting so bad that I was having what felt like one lo-o-o-ng hot flash. It just wouldn't let up! (Anyone who deals with this knows just how incapacitating it is! ) I started taking 2000 mg omega 3s and added some B6 500 mg for arthritis. While I didn't see a big difference for the arthritis, I realized that my hot flashes had finally stopped. To find out if it really was the omega 3, I quit taking it for a few days, and sure enough, the hot flashes were back. This has been a Godsend and I truly hope this info helps someone in the same hot boots! Thanks for the great website too!

I have tried soy products and organic ACV to eliminate hot flashes that I have experienced for the last 5 years or so, with little success. The only thing that completely has gotten rid of them has been replacing ALL polyunsaturated oils in my diet, like vegetable, canola & sunflower oils, with organic, unprocessed coconut oil. (I still eat a little uncooked olive oil occasionally). I have not had 1 hot flash in the last 3 months that I have been using it and that is a record for me! Be sure to get the Extra Virgin Coconut oil! Yes, it is a saturated fat, but it turns out this type of saturated fat does not clog arteries or make us fat as previously thought. It also has given me great energy and better sense of well being. I still eat the naturally occuring fats in fish, raw, unroasted nuts & avocados, but have replaced EVCO for all other fats, including butter. A little EVCO on an english muffin with honey or jam tastes amazing! I have also eliminated soy from my diet.

But after reading this post I will give the ACV a try for HF's and report back to let you all know if it helps me. I have been having HF's all day and at night too. And chills then back to HF's again. I even feel like I am running fever a lot. I now understand the feeling of running fever is also from the "change of life" that causes that symptom too. I am just now connecting all the different symptoms I have had since my 30's and putting this puzzle together. By not understanding the "single" underlying problem I have been treating various symptoms when in fact I can now see it is all from perimenopause. Ex: Insomnia - I take a pill to help me sleep. Anxiety - I take a pill for that. Depression, etc. It is all connected and instead of treating it all as a "single" underlying problem, my Dr has been treating each symptom. It is great to finally be putting this puzzle together! Thank God for the Internet! Thanks for all the post about the ACV. I will give it a try. Does anyone know if ACV also helps other symptoms too? Good luck to all of you. Tuff times don't last but tuff people do! Women are tuff and should not be underestimated, lol. Thanks again!

She laughed at me and said again, it's NORMAL, you DON'T have a disease... None of my women friends have them as often as I do, so I was still sure I had something WRONG with me. Finding this site and reading that I'm not the only one going through this makes me feel much better... Though I AM sorry for my fellow sufferers. I can't wait to try ACV. I have some at home and as SOON as I'm there I'm going to try it.

She was given Walnut, Rescue Remedy and White Chestnut initially. Within 3 days there was a difference in the number but not so much in the intensity. After 2 weeks, when she ran out of the remedy mixture, a review was taken and Oak given as it was indicated by her reaction to the hot flashes - that is, one should buck up and carry on and not be deterred by it all. She is a reliable person and gets more than her fair share at work and within the extended family. Scleranthus was also added as she went from cold to hot within seconds and had mood swings also. It worked miracles. She is free of hot flashes for the first time in 4 years. It's been a month now and she has been advised to continue for at last 2 months before seeing if she can discontinue them. I've since looked it up in the Net and books and find Walnut on its own is usually good enough. But my friend also needed her character remedies. Please don't go in for HRT or other therapy for want of an alternative. These remedies are supposed to be very gentle. I thought I would pass on this info on behalf of my friend.

I was very happy to move on with the next phase of my life, but earlier this year the hot flashes came back with a vengeance. I was undergoing a series of tragic circumstances in my life and I would have a never ending rolling wave of heat from the moment I put my head on the pillow until 6:00 the next morning. I thought that stress had caused them to come back and I tried ACV, iodine, vit E, GABA, borax, Dim Plus and every other cure I could find. When reading through the latest posts several days ago, someone mentioned about D3 and hot flashes and I finally made the connection. Earlier this year I read an article about the dangers of too much D3 and I decided to cut out my supplementation which was at the same time all these events began. For the last couple of days I've been taking 5000iu morning and night and I've had only a couple of flashes in total. I'll be reducing that to one a day once the flashes are completely gone.

My night sweats are gone. Have been drinking as many as 4 glasses per day. Trying to drink as much as 8 glasses per day in hopes my hot flashes will go completely away. Ginger adds a wonderful tasting crispness. The mixture is quite pleasant to drink, better than drinking just Apple Cider Vinegar with water and honey. I use raw green stevia. Add 1 gallon of water to a large pot on top of the stove. Take a palm size piece of ginger, peel and grate. Using a hand held blade mixer is best. One you would use to mix individual drinks. Put this grated mixture in one gallon of good water, along with 1 heaping tsp. of green or white stevia. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool and using a funnel and ladle pour back into the gallon container. When cooled, put ice into an 8 oz. glass and fill 1/4 to 1/2 full, add water to top off, then add 1 to 2 tablespoons acv. You can put more or less water or Apple Cider Vinegar depending on your taste. Enjoy and good health. Oh yes and do use Braggs ACV. It is available in most stores. Green stevia is bought in health food stores in bulk. :)" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/hot_flashes.html&name=ACV_48320 /CURES/hot_flashes.rss13 Fri, 05 Nov 10 16:54:59 -0500 [WORKED TEMPORARILY] Tea from Ottawa, Canada writes: "I have been using ACV for 3 months for very, very bad HF.

I finished a small bottle of unpasteurised vinegar and couldn't see any change, so I stopped taking it. A few days later, I started having mild hot flashes. I had had them before the ACV, and when they went away, I didn't make the connection. While I was taking the vinegar (about six months) I didn't have one hot flash. Now I'm travelling and didn't take any ACV for a couple weeks, and the flashes returned. Still mild, but annoying. I bought a bottle and after about 4 days, the flashes are gone again.

She fixed the problem by donating blood regularly. She is now in menopause and does not get hot flashes. This makes a lot of sense too for those in menopause.
