This might be a little hard to explain but here goes:
An associate of mine whom I've know for years and whom goes to the same chiropractor as I was given this stuff by our chiropractor (whom swears by the stuff). She LOVES IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is in her mid-to-upper 40s, maybe at 50 but has always been irregular w/ major cramps and was experiencing some mid-life symptoms (dryness, hormonal changes, etc). She was on the stuff 2 days and could already feel the benefits. she loved the stuff.
It so happens that she stopped taking it after a while because she ran out of it and HER HUSBAND DROVE 50 MILES to get it (due to the fact that my chiro was out of town) 'cause HE liked how it helped her that much. She admitts that she liked it a LOT but had no idea that it was that obvious to others that it worked that well! NOW, she and her husband swear by the stuff as well as my chiro and she won't miss a dose.
Her and our chiropractor were talking about it in front of me on how they swear by it and telling me that i should spead the word to anyone with those hormonal probs to give it a try (I personally am not there, but my mother is, so I told her about it).
Anyways, just thought you might want to hear some other people's feelings on the product.
You may want to talk to a homeopathic dr./trained natural personel about it to get hard facts (try local healthy/natural living centers like The Cupboard in Denton, TX or the like) and further info!
And as for the comment about possibly effecting your family, the natural hormones are much safer to yourself and others than the non-natural hormone creams. Most likely, the non-natural hormone creams are what caused the problems with the family mentioned below because the human body does not recognize non-natural hormones in anyone, male or female, and can't metabolize it. But talk to the professional about that too!
