Borax and Estradiol

Jewels (Fullerton, CA) on 08/09/2022
5 out of 5 stars

I have a couple of questions about using borax for arthritis. I know it raises estradiol in women. I use natural progesterone, estriol, and estradiol creams. I have lessened the doses of estriol and estradiol since using the borax but worry it may still be raising estrogen too high. Maybe the progesterone helps offset that. I also wonder if taking borax without natural progesterone could raise the chance of getting breast cancer in women.

B6 for Stopped Period

Eileen (Exton) on 10/24/2021

B6 helped me! I had a meningioma tumor in my pituitary area. High prolactin caused my period to stop so I had to take a medication to get my periods back. It worked but I found out this drug was very harmful and banned in Europe so I stopped taking it right away and did some research for natural cures. What I found was that B6 helps to lower prolactin. So I started taking that instead. I can't tell you how thrilled I was when I got my period back by simply taking B6! Hope it works for someone else with high prolactin levels and loss of period. To me it was a miracle.

Hi Mama To Many.....trust all is well with you and your family during this terrible time. I was wondering what's your opinion on flaxseed use for women who are menopausal and also have low thyroid issues. Thank you in advance for your response and also, just wanted to let you know Earth Clinic would not be the same without you. I love your posts. Thanks again

Hi Everyone:

I'm hoping someone can help me here....my daughter who's 20 just recently noticed a few hairs on her chin that suddenly came out of nowhere. She eats so healthy because she's trying her best to use diet to help with acne breakouts that she has had for several years. But nothing seems to help. Upon many hours of research, we've concluded that it might be a high testosterone problem but we're unsure how to handle this. Can someone help with what supplements she should/or should not take and also what foods she should eat/not eat etc. Thank you so much everyone. Have a blessed evening!!

Herb Achillea Millefolium for Menopause and More

Violet (California) on 08/12/2020

I'd like to add a wonderful herb to the list of the menopause healing. The name is Achillea millefolium. Good for irregular menstruation for young and for menopause.

Good for oophoritis, but at this the patient has to make sitting bath. Same for fibroids.

And more of Achillea millefolium:

Lung bleeding, stomach ache, migraine, bloating, liver problems, inflamation of gut, inner unrest, and together with the Acorus calamus herb good for lung cancer.

Multiple Remedies Have Balanced Hormones and Expelled Fibroids

Angie (Michigan) on 11/07/2018
5 out of 5 stars

Myself and my daughter has had a hormonal imbalance for years. After researching extensively I have found the perfect regimen that has worked MIRACLES for both myself and my daughter. We take 2 capsules of Solaray brand 400mg Vitex, Now brand Sage oil that I put into a 00 size empty gelatin capsule which is also Now brand. I put one drop of Sage oil and two drops of organic coconut oil into the capsule. 2 capsules of Ashwagandha herb. I use Banyan brand Ashwagandha bulk powder and as stated above, I make my own capsules using 00 size gelatin capsules. 2 capsules of Reishi mushroom powder. Again, I make my own capsules of this herb. I order the Reishi bulk powder from Real Mushrooms website. 2 capsules of Solaray brand 12 strain 20 billion cfu probiotics. And 2 to 4 capsules of Now brand EVE multivitamin.

This may sound like a lot but believe me it has worked a miracle for us. No more hot flashes, no more mood swings, no more extremely heavy bleeding, no more irregular bleeding, no more foul menstrual odors and no more fibroids. Please be aware that this regimen will cause fibroids to detach and be expelled through menstrual cycle, do not be alarmed, it is a normal process and will subside when the fibroids has all been expelled through 2 or 3 menstrual cycles. Again, this regimen has changed my life and I am so very grateful that I finally have some relief.

For Hormonal Issues, Check Ingredients in Face Cream

Robert (Ca) on 09/26/2016

I just read some important info regards hormones from a woman RN, ND (licensed naturopath). She was having emotional, physical, problems. She suspected hormones & her lab tests showed off the scale results. She was not taking any hormone supplements or replacement therapy & found her face cream was suspect. She discontinued the face cream, waited 2-months & found relief. Her conclusion from research was that the FDA does not require any face cream manufacturers to list hormones in their products & the suppliers are not required to reveal other non-listed ingredients as they are proprietary, not for ingestion where it is required. This would be a good 'rule-out' for women searching for possible sources of their hormonal problems.

Will Borax Affect Estrogen Levels?

Judy_aus (Australia) on 11/09/2014

Hi, I have read different things of Borax and how it effects hormones. (I started drinking 1/8 tsp in water for candida and it has helped improve it a fair bit within a week. Fabulous! )

On one site it states Borax stimulates the production of hormones, stabilises estrogen, assists with insulin use and blood glucose control, triglyceride use and production of reactive oxygen.

On another I found Boron affects the metabolism of steroid hormones, and especially of sex hormones. It increases low testosterone levels in men and oestrogen levels in menopausal women.

My question is will it affect my estrogen levels (I am 36 and trying for a baby). My hormones are pretty all over the place and I don't want them to get more confused.

Would you advise to take the Borax one day on and one day off throughout a week or rather five days in a row and a two day break.

Thank you - I greatly appreciate your time and effort to clarify questions and bring natural remedies to people. I have spent thousands in the last years on medications for thrush and candida. Borax has made a significant change in one week!

Remedies Needed for High Prolactin Levels

Clorimer (San Diego, California) on 10/01/2013

Happy Monday! I'm hoping Earth Clinic readers can share their experiences with prolactinemia. I've recently been diagnosed with a high prolactin level of around 80. I got an MRI, which shows no sign of mass growth on my pituitary gland (there was what they called a "shadow" on the right side of the gland which could either be atypical or the start of something, too soon to tell). Now, I'm caught in this pre-Obamacare black hole where I don't qualify for low-income health care but don't make enough to buy a monthly plan (nobody will accept new customers until Jan. 1 anyway) and am looking for the most natural and affordable solutions possible.

I'm seeing the endocrinologist this week, but I'm really wary that s/he will want to take more tests and put me on a medication. I'd much prefer a natural remedy. I'm certain that sleep and stress are related, so I've been trying to regulate lifestyle changes, as well as exercise more. I have an IUD (paragard, non-hormonal), and I'm wondering if that is in any way related?

I haven't menstrated since January (it's almost October now), so I'm really concerned. I've never been regular, but this is extreme.

Other posts have mentioned Pituitrophin PMG, Chasteberry, among other remedies. I've read articles that have also suggested going on the pill, as it's a natural regulator, but I'm wary of this too.

I really appreciate feedback, especially longitudinal experiences that are tried and true.

Cushing's Syndrome

Carla (Quincy, Illinois) on 08/04/2013

I refuse steroid treatment for Cushing's syndrome. It causes anxiety and depressive episodes. My condition is caused by my body being hyper productive. I take no medications of any kind except a daily vitamin supplement and melatonin. Stress triggers immediate swelling of my upper back at the base of my neck so terribly I look like a hunch back. It is very painful to carry that kind of pressure sometimes for days. I also urinate constantly at night during periods of high stress which disrupts my sleep and only aggravates my ability to lower stress levels. Please help with any natural remedies that will help me. I need help I'm not finding outside big pharma. Sincerely, Carla
