Hey Sarah, No back in Seattle I was still in the dark. I found a list of providers at the Vitamin Cottage (natural health store here) I just called and called until I found a clinic that accepted my insurance and I really got lucky. Cutting edge health care and yes they bill my insurance. I just got my results back today and I am low in both estrogen and progesterine :( So I have to get a stronger cream of both . I have been not sleeping that well and I have not been losing weight and I have not had any energy so I am glad that there was an issue that I was currently working on. They said testosterine was low but ok. I am going in on Wed for IV vitamins to boost my thyroid and adrenal glands and hope to get bump forward as I am tired of being tired :) So just check around with some vitamin stores and when you call about the appt. ask them some questions about natural hormone replacement and the question that got my Naturopath to listen today was " Can I get a blood analyasis to see what vitamins and minerals I am missing ?" and he said boy you are cutting edge here :) Good luck Let me know how you do .... even my husband is getting some replacement bioidentcial hormones :) WE do not have to suffer
Sarah, yes do get your results from your blood work and if you can get a naturopath to help you thats even better.
Are you taking natural estrogen? Are you taking progesterine? my obgyn said you dont need it( I also had a full hyster. last feb) but you do need it. I am getting checked now for my testosterone levels because you need a certain amount of that too. From what I understand that if all your hormones are not balances anything you take isnt doing you any good?? I just moved from Seattle area a year ago .. we are in colorado now and boy the mountains here dont compare to the mountains there .. i so miss the landscape :)
Thanks for adding me as a friend. Hope to meet you at an event sometime soon. Are you on the RawWashington Yahoo group? There are lots of events listed there. Keep in touch!

Hi Sarah,
I will pass your support on to Johnny. I did make a mistake, he actually is a member of gone raw and not raw fu. I'm sorry about that, I visit both sites a couple of times each day and had thought that I read his comment on the 20/20 here, but I was mistaken. That is very sweet of you to write about him, I pray that he will get over this and get well...even though 20/20 made him sound like he was saying that eating raw food is such a long, drawn out chore, I think that they took what he said out of context and edited his conversation with them to make it sound that way. Heck, eating an apple doesn't take that long does it? ;) And making crackers or sprouts is not difficult or time consuming, it's much faster than making a cake preparation, it's the dehydration time and sprouting time that takes hours or days, and the last time I checked, I wasn't standing there staring at the sprouts growing non-stop, for 2 days until they were done, I did manage to do other things in that period of time ;) I still say it's best to eat your veggies...
I want to join Raw Fu to become involved with a community of people that are chosing to live this way. I am looking forward to getting many recipes and lots of support from others on this site. I just finished a 14 day Master Cleanse and I am following that with a 92 day Juice Feast. Update on the Juice feast: I am now eating 100% Raw, I really wanted to chew so I could only do the Juice for 15 days.
