Your Question: I am a breast cancer survivor x two. I have had bilateral mastecomy and bilateral salpingoopherectomy & hysterectomy. I was told I was not a candidate for hormone replacement therapy. I am struggling with severe allergies and many of the symptoms such as: weight gain, feeling tired all the time, coughing and watery eyes and others you describe in your website and also on the radio program this morning. Can you help?
Answer: Congratulations on being a survivor.
I’m pretty sure that we can help you. Even though you say that you aren’t a candidate for hormone therapy or replacement, we can still treat you for allergy and make your life feel a lot better. Part of the protocol that we use in hormone therapy includes the “neutralizing” of the allergic reaction to the substances which are causing the allergy symptoms. Once we’ve done that part, we can begin the process of “desensitizing you”, a slower process, but effective. It is also a process that we can use to block any of the reactions that you might be having to your own hormones. It entails giving you a very weak dilution of the hormone, too weak and small, to be called a therapeutic dose, to see if it stops the reaction.
Remember that when you are saying you aren’t a candidate for hormone therapy, it doesn’t mean all hormones, just the hormones that were feeding the cancers. We can still make sure that you aren’t having difficulty with others such as adrenaline, or thyroid, which should also make you feel better.
My suggestion to you would be to give us a call in the office 338-4336, and set up an evaluation appointment. It doesn’t take very long, and we will know right away if we can help you or not. If you will ask to speak with Pam, and if she isn’t available, let her call you back, she will guide you through all facets of the appointment.
I would also like to invite you to go back to the website: www.robyinstitute.com, and take advantage of Dr. Roby’s free download of the first chapter of his new book, “Maybe It Is All In Your Head … And You Are NOT Crazy!”. It will answer so many questions that you probably have about the hormones, and you will be amazed that you will know more about them, than any doctor you have seen, so far.
If you find that you have more questions after reading the chapter, please let me know and I will answer them for you.
Thanks for contacting us.
Best regards,
Dorothy Dreux Roby Institute
