HI, Dr. Tabor I JUST RECENTLY STARTED USING YOUR Revival SOY SHAKES. I HAD A TOTAL HYSTERECTOMY IN NOV 2004. I DO NOT HAVE OVARIES AND I WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WAS SAFE TO TAKE MY NATURAL ESTROGEN PATCHES(VIVELLE DOT) 0.1 Mg PATCHES TWICE A WEEK ALONG WITH YOUR SOY SHAKES. I AM 41 YEARS OLD. I ALSO WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I AM VERY HAPPY THAT YOU GIVE SO MUCH FOOD TO THE FEED THE CHILDREN ORGANIZATION. I HAVE BEEN GIVING TO THIS CHARITY FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW AND IT IS A PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS WITH A COMPANY THAT CARES SO MUCH ABOUT HUMANITY. Thanks

Hello Nan,
Thank you for your question. Before we get started, please read the following: We do not give medical advice. We provide nutritional information regarding Revival Soy products and information available in the public domain for the uses of soy. We advise you to discuss your personal medical issues with your physician. I hope our information will be helpful to you. I’ve had a hysterectomy. How will Revival help? If you had your ovaries removed along with your uterus, you may experience hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms. This is often called “surgical menopause”. Many studies now show benefits of soy for menopausal symptoms: http://www.revivalsoy.com/whysoy/article.html?article=menopause&pid=3000 Can I eat Revival while on HRT - patch or pills? You should not discontinue any prescription medication without consulting your own doctor to determine what is right for you. HRT (estrogen combined with progestin) was the standard therapy for menopause until recently when the U.S. government's National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that HRT has a host of potential side effects, including an increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease, endometrial (uterine) cancer, stroke, blood clots and gallbladder disease. For these reasons, about 60-85% of women eligible for HRT refuse to start or continue HRT. Interestingly, the NIH has found that estrogen alone does not increase breast cancer risk (only when used in combination with progestin). As expected, more women are seeking natural dietary options such as soy to support a healthier midlife transition. Many women use Revival Soy along with their prescriptions. There is no known reason why you can’t use soy protein along with prescription hormones. You may be able to take a lower dose of the prescription hormones also along with Revival Soy. New evidence from Wake Forest Bowman Gray indicates that soy protein plus HRT produces additive heart health benefits. Monkey studies also suggest that soy protein use can reduce the detrimental effects of HRT on breast and endometrial tissues. If you plan to stop HRT (after consulting your doctor), you may want to overlap use of HRT and soy for 4 to 8 weeks and then slowly taper off the HRT in order to minimize withdrawal symptoms. Scientists became very interested in soy's potential role for menopause support after demographic studies revealed that only 9% of women living in Asia, where the diet is rich in soy, experienced hot flashes during midlife, in contrast to almost 80–90% of Western women who suffer through menopause. Many scientists feel that soy isoflavones, which are similar to the body's estrogen in structure, may support health by lightly binding to estrogen receptors, thus, producing some of the benefits of estrogen without negative side effects. Because soy may support menopause, energy, bone and heart health, many doctors now recommend soy as a safe, effective dietary supplement to help women support a healthy midlife transition and beyond. Many studies now show benefits of soy for menopausal symptoms: http://www.revivalsoy.com/whysoy/article.html?article=menopause&pid=3000 We appreciate your kind thoughts about our outreach to others. When we care about other's needs, it comes back to bless us. Please let me know if I can help further. To inquire about your order, email us
