I had cancer of the cervix, and the radiation treatment threw me into early menopause. What is a natural alternative to hormones?

As far as I know, and I have read all the latest info about natural alternatives to hormones, nothing really helps. The only remedy (partly a remedy) was to take some of the anti-anxiety medication like Prozac etc. Of course there are natural anti depressants (look at this site)

but I am not sure how well they alleviate the symptoms. I wish I kept these medical journals I get to give you the reference. If I find it I will let you have it.

I suggest all-natural Menopause Balance Complex. It uses compounds found in plants call phytoestrogens to ease mood swings, sleeplessness, and hot flashes associated with menopause.
Contains extract of black cohosh as well as soy isoflavones and flaxseed. Also contains a proprietary phytoestrogen blend of dong quai, red clover, and licorice. No artificial colors, flavors or synthetic preservatives.
Hope this is useful and feel free to contact me with questions.

there are several soy protien supplements that are used to counter the effects of menopause, there is also an herbal remedy called black cohosh.
