Q: dear dr. Townsend, I am seeing a new doctor on december. 16th. I do not know if they are familiar with the natural compounding of hormones. I know they prescribe the conventional method to my sister in law. I am terrified of the synthetic hormones and need to know how I go about getting my new doc to prescribe the natural compounding of hormones not synthetic. I have been on an otc that works for alot of my symptoms but lately I have had an increase in migraines around my periods. If I put progesterone cream on my neck in time the migraine leaves but if I wake up and the migraine is already in full swing it is too late and I have to get a shot because it is severe. It is amazing that the hormone cremes can take away a migraine. I think I need a stronger dosing for a while. 49 years old.

A: Darlene:

It will be difficult to convince a new Doctor about natural products unless he/she have an open mind and are aware of the alternative. For my patients with your symptoms I use Genistein, 70 mgm a day and a 1.5% progesterone cream. These products are made for me and we provide them for my patients. If your new Doctor will read my book he/she may understand my switch to natural products. I'd be happy to e-mail your new Doctor if you wish.

Sincerely,

Dr. Townsend
