Pueraria mirifica

Pueraria mirifica (also known as Kwao Krua or Butea Superba) is a plant found in Thailand and Myanmar. According to Dr. Garry Gordon MD, who has been to Thailand for on-the-ground research, the region where this plant is grown is remarkable for its low rate of breast cancer and impressive longevity. He says Pueraria mirifica is 3000 times stronger than Genistein and "Makes Black Cohosh and Red Clover look like placebos." Mirifica means "miracle" and it seems as if we have a miracle herb on our hands. You could call this new product HRT with a spin = herbal rejuvenation therapy or herbal remedy from Thailand!

The plant tuber contains phytoestrogens such as miroestrol, deoxymiroestrol, which are found only in Peuraria mirifica. They are much stronger than soy or red clover isoflavones, and are under investigation for possible use in hormone replacement therapy (in other words Big Pharma is trying to grab something from it that can be patented, to keep everyone else out). The pharmaceutically used variety is White Kwao Krua; the other ones are Black and Red Kwao Krua. The Thai government is supporting the commercial production of this product. They are backing research, which is starting to come down in floods.

Longevity Plus (www.longevityplus.com) now produce Beyond HRT, which is Pueraria mirifica. It works really well for PMT and estrogen dominance, even where progesterone and lesser herbals, such a Black Cohosh, have failed. The price is right. I suggest you ladies get over there and purchase some. But do remember common sense; you will need to take the right nutritionals as well. NOTHING takes the place of quality nutrition.
