Ohh Morose I just want to add one more important thing, also.
I have been doing ALOT of research, and many of the long-term estrogen dominance cases have been linked to 1) breast cancer, 2) osteoperosis, and 3) miscarriages.
It really was a link of great discovery for me because my great-grandmother, bless her soul, died of osteoperosis, my grandma had breast cancer, and my mom had a miscariage in her early 30's. My great-grandmother and grandma are both on my mom's side.
I had previously stated that there is no evidence against pueraria mirifica, and that the representatives claim it will help lower your chances of breast cancer but I have not seen any truths that support or reject this. I know you said you were trying other herbs, but I just wanted to share this realization with you and everyone else.
So as for whether PM helps or not, I cannot say, but it would seem with my lineage, I think that an estrogen-dominance could very well be responsible so you just want to be careful of that.
I am adding progesterone cream into my routine now that I have made this link.
I am very thin so I had been previously thinking that there was no way I could be estrogen dominant, but also I am very young, and the physical signs of estrogen dominance could take years to show.
Anywhoo I suggest that you look across the generations of your family, and if there are signs of estrogen dominance then you may benefit greatly from PC when it comes to cancer prevention! Either now, or starting using it in a few years after first exploring the NBE herbs that you were originally planning on trying.
And as for why the Japanese seem to be cancer-free, I think it is important to keep in mind that a relation between the low cancer rates and the amounts of soy they eat does not necessarily mean causation - just because there is a link, it does not mean eating soy is actually causing the low cancer rate, because there are many other huge factors in their diet that could be contributing to the low cancer rates such as that their diet is healthier in general, the seafood high in essential fatty acids, and probably the biggest factor, the amount of green tea they consume daily. Not to mention there are many more health herbs that people ingest there than there is here in the west.
