Oh dear goddess, I recently heard the term "dirty estrogens." It came from a patient asking for my help in ridding her body of said, "dirty estrogens." I googled it and found a bazillion web sites referencing "dirty estrogens" and how to get rid of them (buy something!), but no clear or consistent explanation of what a "dirty estrogen" is. In general, these hucksters seem to be referring to estrone and estradiol as "dirty." But they like estriol, "which is the protective estrogen.” Can you give us a little more clarity about estrogens and estrogen metabolites?
Could you please explain which form of vaginal estrogen therapy is more effective for improving the tissues of the vagina as well as for the clitoris and urethra. I live in Canada and estradiol is only available to us as a Vagifem tablet or contained within Premarin cream. Otherwise Estrone cream (Estragyne) is available. Unfortunately estradiol cream as in the US available Estrace ( and generic) is not available to Canadians—I wish we had the option. A physician told me they equally effective however my understanding is that estrone is weaker. Could you explain this?

I was just recommended to take Vitex and Estro Px. What do you know about these two supplements
As a patient I've asked for bioidentical progesterone, just wanting oral micronized progesterone rather than a progestin.
