"Trans-d is an amino acid-based skin lotion, available by prescription only. It does not contain any growth hormone or other hormones, but it is made up of amino acids and fatty acids combined in such a way as to stimulate your own pituitary gland to produce growth hormone. Trans-d Tropin is expensive, but less expensive than growth hormone injections.

During menopause your needs will vary over time also." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

She developed breast tenderness, but she knew to reduce her estradiol dose and found that she only needed 0.2 ml twice daily. She continued the progesterone as prescribed." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"Coconut oil also makes an excellent skin lotion and massage oil. A NOTE ABOUT NAMA SHOYU AND BRAGG'S AMINO ACIDS These soy-based condiments are a popular flavoring agent for many raw-food chefs. They are not used, however, in the Rainbow Green World Cuisine because soy is difficult for the body to process and the products are likely to be contaminated by GMO crops.
