Wild Yam Cream

Purpose:
Approximately 90 percent of all women in the United States have at least some type of menstrual or menopausal complaint. Symptoms are moderate to severe in approximately 40 percent, and almost debilitating to those remaining.

Deborah's Collection Wild Yam Creme provides positive benefits that meet these needs. Wild Yam Creme soothes and tempers the natural changes during transition times.

Wild Yam Creme can help with mood swings caused by an estrogen/progesterone imbalance.

With daily use of the Wild Yam Creme, you will mitigate mood swings by again correcting the ratio.

Wild Yam Creme even helps with hot flashes. Hot flashes are caused when you have too much estrogen in relationship to progesterone. By raising your progesterone levels, you correct your estrogen/progesterone ratio, bringing your system back into natural balance. This should alleviate the discomfort of hot flashes.

Description:
This creme is uniquely formulated primarily from Stabilized Aloe Vera Gel and Mexican Wild Yams to provide natural progesterone. Natural progesterone is broken down by the liver too quickly when taken orally. Therefore, a cream formulation provides effective passage transdermally into the system. Whereas synthetic progestins inhibit your natural progesterone levels creating a hormone imbalance, Wild Yam Creme is a precursor for the production of your own natural progesterone.

Application:
Apply twice daily. Before bedtime is a good time. Most women prefer to use the cream after showering in the morning as well. Use 1/4 teaspoon for each application. Our two-ounce jar should last between four and six weeks. It is not recommended to use more than 1/4 teaspoon. The ingredients in the cream are absorbed by the fat cells in your body. Hormones are very powerful; a little goes a long way. Your fat cells typically reach overload quickly. If you apply more than 1/4 teaspoon, your body probably will not be able to absorb it properly.

If you are a menstruating woman, start using the cream twice daily on day 8 of your menstrual cycle. (The day you start your period is considered day 1.) Continue using the cream until the onset of your next period. At the start of your period, discontinue use until day 8, then repeat the cycle. Many users experience results their first menstrual cycle. Most women will enjoy noticeable benefits within 60 days.

Women who have had hysterectomies or who have already gone through menopause still only need to use the cream for three weeks each month. For these women, start the cream on the eighth day of the month. Use the cream until the last day of the month. Then do not use the cream from calendar day l through calendar day 7.

If you are a man, you may use the cream for the entire month.

Your body absorbs the cream best when used on soft skin; hands and feet, for example, are too rough.

Users get the best results if they rotate where they place the cream. Research has shown the body can only absorb the ingredients in the Wild Yam Creme once every four days. Therefore, for best results it is very important to follow a four-day rotation.

Here is a suggested rotation. You can certainly devise a system that works best for you.

Repeat cycle. Deborah's Collection Pocket Calendar is available as a roation reminder.

For most women, using the Wild Yam Creme daily will eliminate all discomforts associated with starting the menstrual cycle. However, if cramps and discomfort are present, apply 1/4 teaspoon of the cream to the abdomen every 30 minutes until the pain subsides. As a rule, you do not use the cream during your menstrual time. However, the cream may be used for immediate pain relief as needed during day 1 through day 7.

Both men and women have reported that the cream is effective in alleviating headache pain, including migraines. Apply 1/8 teaspoon of the cream to the back of the neck and the temples every 30 minutes until you receive relief. If you have frontal headaches, apply the cream to your forehead.

Additional Information :
If you are on hormone- replacement therapy, you may eventually choose to discontinue using the manufactured hormones and just use the cream, a natural solution. Many women have successfully gone through menopause with a minimum of discomfort using only the cream -- as long as their copper/zinc ratios are in balance. (See below)

A slow weaning process is mandatory, preferably under a physician's care. if you are on Premarin, for example, you may be advised to cut down your intake by 10 to 15 percent each month simply by skipping days. (Alternating days may work better than dividing the tablets because they are difficult to split.) As for patches, they can be worn for shorter periods of time, gradually diminishing the duration of their application.

Example: Take your Premarin for 5 days using the cream also, skip one day but continue using the cream. Week 2 - Repeat week 1. Week 3 - Take your Premarin for 4 days using the cream also, skip two days but continue using the cream. Continue in this fashion until you are totally weaned from the estrogen. This should take approximately two months.)

Wild Yam Creme also benefits those with osteoporosis. Any standard medical text explains that estrogen's maximum benefit for osteoporosis is no more than a temporary reduction in the rate of osteoporotic bone resorption. However, natural progesterone is more of an intermediate building block. Natural progesterone stimulates osteoclasts which contribute to building bone density.

You can use Wild Yam Creme even if you're taking birth control pills. However, it will not work as fast because birth control pills contain copper. Copper is often the cause of PMS and menstrual distress.

There have been many documented cases of women who have increased their breast size using the cream. But there are no guarantees. One thing is certain, you should not put the cream on the breasts every day. Follow the four-day rule. Women who do not want breast enlargement should skip the breast in the rotation.

The cream can be used by those trying to get pregnant. Since progesterone can inhibit fertility, don't start using the cream until day 15 of your cycle. This is the day after you ovulate when it is biologically impossible to conceive. Use the cream until you start your period and then start again start on day 15.

Also nursing mothers can use the cream. It helps the body return to its normal hormonal levels. If you are nursing, avoid the breast area on your rotation.

Most women need to eat more foods rich in zinc, which is one of the controlling nutrients for natural progesterone production. Lean protein has the greatest single impact on zinc absorption. Lean protein consists of lean meat, lean pork, chicken and turkey without the skin, fish, shellfish and eggs. Vegetarian sources include red beans, black beans, lentils, split peas, and black-eyed peas. You will experience the best results if you eat more of these foods all month, but especially during PMS week.

Most women should avoid food high in copper. These include:
