Vic,
Not nosy or rude - I don't have any credentials, myself. And I really try to make sure that I am careful with my language here, and always say "I think", "I believe", "my experience is", etc. All the results from the survey are simply statistical analysis of what data was given me. All informational posts are the results of study and research from educational resources and medical studies. I like to think of myself as a capable translator of "medicalese".
This is also the reason why I will NOT recommend the use of any pharmaceuticals - like oral estradiol - or any other substance that is not available easily over the counter. I am not a doctor, and cannot diagnose or prescribe - nor will I even pretend to. I try very hard when discussing supplements to say "This stuff does this thing - whether or not you take it is up to you."
I have been using and studying sports nutrition, herbal and alternative medicine for over 22 years. Most of my study and work has been in herbal medicine - everything from seed to compounded product everything from first aid topical cream to natural antibiotics to herbal birth control. I do not do this professionally, just for family and friends. I started focusing on endocrinology about 2 years ago when I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. By translating several successful pharmaceutical protocols for this disease into natural therapies, I was able to put myself into complete remission within a year.
I have wanted to return to college and get those credentials for many, many years - but with a a family to support - I just don't have the time or resources at this time. At this point, I'm a bit too old to start a whole new career - so I think I will just continue to just treat my family.
I hope that answered your concerns.
Fawn
