None of that stuff is a proper substitute for replacing lost oestrogen.   Let's not kid ourselves, the only way to replace lost oestrogen is by using HRT.   

I had an argument with an anti-HRT gynaecologist years ago and ended up drawing him a diagram.   I drew a circle and wrote HRT in the middle, I then drew an outer ring of circles and wrote as many menopause symptoms as I could think of in each one.   I then linked the outer circles to the inner circle by drawing a line to the centre circle with HRT written in it.  This is sometimes referred to as a divergent circle diagram.   He got the picture.   

Nothing in that article would go anywhere near combating the debilitating sweating I had.   High levels of oestrogen completely cured the problem virtually overnight.   

HRT might not be a 'cure all' but the right type at the right dose it is a 'cure most'.

Another attempt to get on the best seller list eh? Can't see it being of much value to us.
