Re: Low oestrogen & testosterone levels post-menopause

I think so: Wimpole clinic, london

http://www.wimpoleskincare.com/Treatments/bio-identical-hormones.html

I have no experience with the clinic, or womens hormones (being male) but I hope

that either the Wimpole clinic or someone on here can help you

be </= 150; mine was 58. I don't recall the exact testosterone level but it's

low, too.

Premarin! Are bio-identical hormones available here in the UK? Thanks for any

Thanks to we know about the Wimpole clinic and their bio-identical hormones.

I recommend a book to help you through this process, the DRs don't know alot about this really.This is Lee's book and you can read the first chapter here:http://www.johnleemd.com/store/chap1hbms.htmlI also find this book helpful:http://www.amazon.com/Hormones-Your-Health-Alternative-Therapies/dp/0470289023/ref=sr_1_1?s=books & ie=UTF8 & qid=1308693424 & sr=1-1and last resort:http://www.amazon.com/Menopause-Thyroid-Solution-Overcome-Problems/dp/0061582646/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 & qid=1308693377 & sr=8-1http://www.amazon.com/Hormones-Your-Health-Alternative-Therapies/dp/0470289023/ref=sr_1_1?s=books & ie=UTF8 & qid=1308693424 & sr=1-1If you can find a bio-identical with estradiol, (E2) and not Estriol....Estriol is good for the vagina, but it is ESTRADIOL which is good for your heart, all of the cardiovascular system and a cancer preventative. Good Luck...sounds like you're on a new healing adventure !!!Cheers,JOT

if you need a script filling for bio identical, this pharmacy is good:

Dr Tregear of the Wimpole has published articles with hertoghe, so i'd imagine

she knows her stuff

it's german, i believe :-)

if you search for it in google, you get the option to translate the page?

Try this:

http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en & sl=de & u=http://www.struwwelpeter-o\

nline.de/ & ei=QiECTrD5F5KAhQeBtfzaCg & sa=X & oi=translate & ct=result & resnum=1 & sqi=2 & v\

ed=0CCIQ7gEwAA & prev=/search%3Fq%3Dstruwwelpeter%2Bapotheke%2Bfrankfurt%26hl%3Den\

%26rlz%3D1R2ADRA_enGB398%26biw%3D1419%26bih%3D641%26prmd%3Divnsm

they speak english (or write/read english), but you need a prescription first

:-) they are quite reasonably priced i found and it only costs about 10Euros
