Dr N:<\/p>\n
I am a 50 year old diabetic (insulin dependent) woman who had a hysterectomy 9 years ago. I stopped taking Estrogen 6 months ago because of the controversy regarding breast cancer and also because I was experiencing breast pain. I am now experiencing night sweats, vaginal dryness and fatigue. I am also concerned about heart disease. I saw the product ESTROVEN advertised on television. Is it a good replacement?<\/p>\n
