HRT The Natural Alternative
Wendy’s Story
Currently, there are about 1.5 million women in the UK taking some form of HRT to ease symptoms. Not all women can take HRT though. Just such a woman is Wendy, a 44 year old office worker from Cardiff.
Two years ago Wendy began experiencing menopausal symptoms including exhaustion, hot flushes, burning skin and joint aches and pains. She was denied HRT because her mother suffered breast cancer after being on HRT for some years,
In desperation Wendy began trying herbal alternatives to HRT. Wendy discovered a liquid herbal formula developed by Cardiff herbalist Stuart FitzSimmons MNIMHM. The formula is called HerbRT and contains a blend of herbs that provide a full spectrum of phyto-oestrogens.
After just two months taking HerbRT Wendy said:
“After this short time on HerbRT the flushes are reduced, my skin has stopped burning and I’m no longer red in the face! In fact, everything has returned to normal”.
Rather than the ‘hormonal blast’ provided by HRT, the phyto-oestrogens in HerbRT give gentle, natural support, helping the body overcome and adapt to the hormonal changes that occur at the menopause.
HerbRT is avaliable in 100ml (month supply) bottles and costs £24.99.
HerbRT The Natural Alternative to HRT
Currently, there are about 1.5 million women in the UK taking some form of HRT. There is probably an equal number of women that have tried it and could not continue due to side effects. Recent research and reports have highlighted the potential problems that may arise as a consequence of long term use of HRT. It is therefore imperative that women are aware that there is an alternative to HRT and its potential harmful effects. Just such an alternative is HerbRT, formulated by herbalist Stuart FitzSimmons.
What is HerbRT?
HerbRT is a combination of the herbs Chinese angelica, wild yam, red clover, fenugreek, hops and fennel. It is a liquid formula containing the herbs in the highest concentration that can be achieved in a liquid extract. The base of the formula contains no alcohol like most other liquid herbal preparations today. Instead, the base is vegetable glycerine, making it suitable for vegetarians and those for whom alcohol is forbidden.
How does HerbRT work?
HerbRT is based upon herbs that contain phyto-oestrogenic chemicals. Many herbs and common foods contain these chemicals. The phyto-oestrogens found in herbs work because part of the molecular structure fits the human oestrogen receptor on the cells of the body and provides a mild oestrogenic effect. However, the phyto-oestrogens are not associated with the sameside-effects as the synthetic, drug type oestrogens. In fact, the phyto-oestrogens are linked to many health benefits. Apart from helping to reduce the symptoms of the menopause and restore lost energy they protect the heart and circulation and fight against osteo-porosis. Population studies have shown that people with a high intake of phyto-oestrogens are less likely to suffer to suffer the hormone dependant cancers, such as breast cancer.
Can any woman take HerbRT?
The women that should not take the phyto-oestrogens are those taking drugs that alter normal levels of oestrogen and progesterone in the body. This includes women taking the contraceptive pill, HRT, tamoxifen and danazol. You should not take HerbRT if you suffer chronic or recurring mastitis.
Do not take phyto-oestrogen products if you are pregnant.
