I took red clover almost 10 years ago, not for NBE but for acne. And it helped really good. Within 14 days I had completely clear skin. But then I missed my period and I freaked out and thought I was pregnant (was not). It was due to red clover. And I stopped taking it then...I am afraid of the side effects of PM too. I read that women with developing cyst at the ovary, breast, and uterus should not take PM. I have a cyst in my right breast and in my uterus. So no, I won't take it.
I'm so sorry Peggy, I'm glad you mentioned it though, we definitely need your feedback (expertise) on what the alternatives are: (i.e. qualifiers)
1) A set of estrogenic herbs that are effective but not overburden with E
2) A set of estrogenic herbs for regular use
This is why experimentation is needed, circumstances like yours Peggy bring to light that a discussion is needed for alternatives.
Ok Peggy, what do you recommend?
