Read this article on the real issues regarding hormone therapy. My opinion is that ANY oral hormone therapy containig estrogen, or the combination of estrogen/progestin, is DANGEROUS. A safer way to go is topical estrogen creams, either vaginal creams or gels that absorb through the skin. If you are unsure, and if hormones like the pill have ever caused side effects, then stay away! Use herbal plant estrogens like Wild Yam, Black Cohosh or Red Clover.

Uninformed influencers and physicians peddling menopausal hormones are in desperate need of a history lesson.

The veld is blooming with a beautiful yellow flower from the bulb known as the African Potato (Hypoxis hemerocallidea). I took these photos on my morning walk in the hills around Heidelberg, Gauteng. Also called Yellow stars, this amazing medicinal plant is just on our doorstep!

This plant is one of the most important African medicinal plants for its immune stimulating benefits, with huge commercial interest and many products on the market. Why is it so amazing?

It contains high amounts of Beta-Sitosterol which is well known for:
-Lowering cholesterol, preventing blocked arteries
- Decreasing the symptoms of prostate enlargement
- Anti-inflammatory for rheumatoid arthritis
- Immune modulation benefits: Can affect tumour development in colon, prostate and breast cancer
- Can decrease viral load in stable HIV patients (>500 CD4 cells/ml), and helps TB patients

The traditional medicinal use for African potato is:
-Urinary infections
-Cardiac diseases
-Testicular tumours and cancer
-Infertility
-Management of HIV as an immuno-modulator
-Added to creams for its skin healing benefits as a wound healer
