About Natural HRT

The term Natural refers particularly to the biochemical structure of the hormones used in NHRT. The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study was research done on the long term effects of two specific HRT products that are commonly available – Premarin® and Provera®. Premarin® is an estrogen hormone made from conjugated estrogens.

Paulina reports 15 days after starting treatment she slept all through the night

E-mail Print

and without sweating! A MIRACLE!

Well what can I say except FANTASTIC! I was so pleased when during a general conversation one afternoon a friend told me about the treatment she had started taking.  I had been SUFFERING with shocking sweats and unable to sleep and this was putting my relationship in stress mode.  His snoring was nothing on my tossing and turning and the constant washing of the damp sweaty sheets each day just added to the problems. 

Within 15 days of starting my troches I slept all through the night and without sweating! A miracle? Well it was to us! Four years we had put up with problems that we did not need to.  I had been concerned with other medications that were recommended but finding a natural method sounded great and suited my thoughts and wishes.  So here I am - we are - three years down the track and sleeping like a baby, except for his snoring!So, many thanks to all those involved.

Sharon shares her experience of suffering an early menopause

and felt she was on her way to a nervous breakdown she now states her life has turned around .... and she can't believe the difference

I was 38 when I first started suffering from night sweats and hot flushes.  I went to my local GP several times trying to get help until I insisted on a blood test to verify what I knew to be menopause.

Every time I went to the GP to try to get help the GP kept saying I was too young to be going through menopause.  The thing is I know my body and I knew that it wasn't working properly.

It wasn't until I insisted on the blood test that they finally conceded that Yes! I was going through menopause.  But it seems that just because it was confirmed, they were unwilling to help me and could not offer any advice.  I felt as though I was on my way to a nervous breakdown, mainly due to the lack of sleep as a result of being awake all night with night sweats.  I couldn't function properly at work and cried at the drop of a hat.

When luckily one day I saw an advertisement on the television about the Menopause Centre.  I still took a little while to contact the institute as thought at least now I knew I was going through menopause I would cope.  Unfortunately I couldn't and finally rang the institute for help.  Well my life has turned around, I have been on the troches for two years now and I can't believe the difference.  No more night sweats or hot flushes and I am able to concentrate at work and don't even have the crazy mood swings I would suffer when I was pre-menstrual.

Thank you also to all the staff at the institute who have been so caring and kind and understanding.  I have recommended this treatment to many friends who are suffering the same symptoms.

Carmel shares "I now sleep the night through and have not had a night sweat in months

Needless to say my husband is sleepingmuch better also".

Hi, for me the AMC has been my saviour.  I contacted them because I was not happy with the medication I was taking for menopause, not happy with the communication I was having with my doctor and not happy about constant night sweats and no sleep after 2am.

I was impressed from the first phone call with the level of professionalism, information gathered and the follow up call from a doctor who actually cared about the fact that I had symptoms that were distressing and tiring. More so it transpired that no one at AMC would be happy until all my symptoms were under control with the medication. Where else do you get a doctor to call you and ask how your medication is working.

I am so glad I responded to that radio ad - I now sleep the night through and have not had a night sweat in months.  Needless to say my husband is sleeping much better also. I take my hat off to all the staff at AMC.  Keep us the good work.  I promote your service whenever I hear a woman talking about menopause symptoms.

AMC - The Health Professionals that really care.

The always reliable monthly phone calls from the friendly staff have never been intrusive but there for your assistance and added support if required. Thankyou sincerely to all the team at the Menopause Centre." - Susan (Victoria)

Carol lost 6 kilo's and states NO hot flushes, No mood swings, nothing but BLISS

E-mail Print

At the age of 48 I experienced immediate menopause due to hysterectomy and removal of ovaries.  I was immediately plunged into a world of extreme hot flushes during the night; sleep was difficult, and I just needed some relief.  My GP suggested HRT through a patch; due to hysterectomy she did not believe in adding progesterone.  So a period of three years "on a patch" mainly resolved the hot flushes, but in this time I gained 6 kilos in weight (the first time my weight ever became uncontrollable - nothing would budge those kilos), and I hated the irritating patch which would fall off before it should. I felt overweight, frumpy, and just not in a good place.

Being a keen "googler" I did some research.  And I learned more about the relationship between estrogen and progesterone; and the negative effects of estrogen overload.  I had started the process of Natural HRT discovery.  I contacted the Menopause Centre and learned that Progesterone was actually good for me.  Within the week my individually measured troches arrived.

Four weeks later - and I am six kilos lighter - yes, six kilos! I was in estrogen dominance and this waswhy the weight piled on.  Hot flushes? What are they! No irritating patch, no mood swings, nothing! Bliss! I am back to being me again! Can't get any better than that.
