Hi Shakti-

Thanks for posting the info about Susun Weed's Breast health book. It was very helpful!! I checked out her website after reading your posting.

I'd been a bit concerned about taking B.E. herbs because of potential health risks...especially the thought that I might be messing with my small but healthy breasts by introducing phytoestrogens into my system.

However, I was initially drawn to them by Duke, the Green Pharmacist. I have good luck with his other homeopathic recommendations so I trusted what I had read in his book enought to give N.B. enhancement a try. I opted to start by taking the Greenbush enhancement blend which combines fennel and fenugreek-- I take capsules and give myself a daily massage.

Does Weed address the risks involved with taking these herbs? I read your reference to red clover as being GOOD for breast health. I'm curious how much and in what form she recommends injesting red clover. (Greenbush sells some supplemental red clover products which I had been toying with trying).

Lastly, are you on a natural breast enhancement program yourself? If so, are you having a good experience? Any downside?

I've only been using the herbs for a little over a month, but so far so good. I feel well and I am experiencing a subtle swelling...not sure if that translates to permanent "growth" and I probably won't know until I stop taking supplements. But so far, I'm encouraged. Would love to hear your perspective.

Blessings to you and yours!
