My friend Debbie, emailed me today and asked the above question. Has anyone heard about this alternative treatment? If so, does it work?
I'll do my own research and let everyone know what I find out.

Be well,

Michelle

* Eat a healthy, balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats.
* Get plenty of regular exercise.
* Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may help certain women, but it carries medical risks. Discuss HRT with your doctor.
* Foods rich in soy may help some side effects, such as hot flashes.
* Get plenty of sleep, and maintain a regular sleep schedule.
* Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
