I've been excitedly reading about the sea buckthorn, until I saw that it might lower blood pressure.. just like the reishi.  Ugh.  Is there anything that doesn't lower something else, for the love of Pete?! I may end up trying it anyway and just going low and slow to start. Food for thought.

I'm with you on the aromatase.. I'm not 100% sure yet if I need that for NBE in my case. I know I don't have low estrogen but I tend to be a bit low on progesterone, hence I use a very small amount during luteal only. As for my "program", I'm currently only doing spearmint tea and the PC I just mentioned along with a daily collagen supplement. Not much of a program, I know. But I'm really focused on getting a digestive issue fully straightened out in the next few (or several?) months before I start on a full-blown program. I know that absorption is key and there's no point shelling out too much $$ on NBE-specific supplements until my body's ready to soak it all up. Until then I'm just trying to learn as much as possible and.. well, I guess just make a general nuisance of myself on here..   Hope you all won't get thoroughly sick of me.

Lowering blood pressure is actually the first thing I read when I was researching SBO (I always search for the side effects first, not the benefits of things haha) before I purchased it but you know what? I went ahead anyway. Instead of taking 4 caps, I started off taking 1 to see how I felt.... and now I'm taking 2. It's been more than 2 weeks and, (so far, let me make that bold just in case lol) my blood pressure is fine. I have a little wrist machine that measures my blood pressure which is very useful. By the way, I've always had low blood pressure so I do need to be extra cautious. I know what you mean though, why on earth does everything for NBE seem to lower something or increase something else? Anyway, I'll keep you posted regarding SBO but I have a feeling 2 caps is ok. 

Yes, you should definitely focus on sorting out your digestive issue. I think it's wise of you not to jump into things. What you're doing so far sort of reminds me of what I used to do (well, I drank spearmint tea, fennel tea, licorice tea, collagen, tried massaging...then noogling which I'm still doing...). No, why would we get sick of you! We're all here to share experiences and to learn! Plus we need more members to represent the "Less hair, more boob" club 

Yes, please keep me updated about the BP. I have my own cuff at home too and my blood pressure has also always been on the low side. I really really like the sound of the sea buckthorn and have read where it is actually used to help heal gut problems too, so I'm thinking it might be worth going out on the limb to try it soon. I don't take 4 of anything as a loose rule, unless it's 4 cocoa nibs or something like that.  

So I take it you didn't actually see results when you were doing what I'm doing? What's your current program and how are you doing with it? I may need to borrow some of your tips eventually.  

I'm glad I'm welcome here, even if I'm not a full participant yet. I just noticed this morning that I've been upgraded to a "Senior Member"   woo hoo.  So of course I can't quit now when I've just been promoted, lol!!
