Why We Do What We Do!

The H.E.R.S. Naturally team was formed out of the realization that women needed to be educated about the effects of toxins found in the environment, in the home, and in personal care products that play havoc with their hormones. As research continued it also came to light that this information needed to be shared with mothers so that the poisoning of our children and the potential problems it can lead to in childhood and later in life could be avoided.

It is unfortunate, but true, that contrary to popular belief the products that we use on a daily basis are not required to be tested for safety prior to their release to the general public. This, in part, has lead to women becoming estrogen dominant, as stated by Dr. John Lee who pioneered the research on natural progesterone. According to Dr. Samuel Epstein, the founder of www.preventcancer.com, many of these chemicals can have an adverse effect on our health.

Our Mission has and will continue to be to share this information, to educate women so that they are more aware of harmful chemicals that can affect them, and to advocate for safer alternatives to the use of synthetic hormones to treat symptoms of PMS, Pre-Menopause, and Menopause. It is only when we get back to treating this natural cycle in a women’s life, as just that…natural, and not a disease, that we will begin to see true healing of symptoms rather then just covering them up with a myriad of prescriptions.

We, as women, know the health risks associated with using synthetic hormones to control symptoms of hormone imbalance and that is why we do what we do with such passion. Every woman has a right to know about the risks, about the chemicals in her personal care products, and in her home that not only affect her health but the health of her children as well. It is time to speak up!
