Hi,

I'm hoping to start NBE, and I'm a 32AA. I read on the 'Info to all newbies' and it was recommended we start of wth progesterone cream or Milk thistle for The Preparation Phase to flush excess hormone/prepare our bodies.

I have been all this while consuming a daily routine of:
a) 1gm Spirulina (which have detox effect) and
b) Bittergourd tea / ACV water / lemon water (alternate daily throughout the whole day) and
c) Fresh fruit - at least an apple a day :-)
d) and other supplements

My mum warned me not to over do it, so now I'm wondering is it OK I take Milk Thistle..I mean do I still need to take it coz I'm afraid I might sorta 'over flush / over cleanse' myself. I need more thoughts on this.

2ndly, apart from SP and Fenugreek as per indicated is it OK for newbies like me to add fennel to it (coz I have those around my house, so I'm thinking "oh,what the heck")...or should I wait for a while?

Thanks for any input :-)

I would think since you are already doing a cleansing program, that you don't need to do Milk Thistle at all.

I don't see a reason why you can't add the fennel into your routine, but ramp up slowly and only add one herb at a time. That way if you react to one of them you will know which one. Or maybe use the fennel instead of the fenugreek for now. The reason they recommend using less herbs is so you will know what works, and it has been shown that some grow with less ~ more doesn't always equal better. There is no exact answer for anything with NBE, its different for each individual, so just do things slowly and listen to your body.

Hi Henri,

Thanks for the input. Appreciate it.

I think perhaps you're right about starting with Fennel. But since Fennel was said to be weaker herb compare to Fenugreek (forgot which post I read somewhere here) what is the recommended dossage for starters? The 'Info for Newbies' said Fenugreek for AAAers (lol!) is 1800mg-2400mg so how many % mg should I take my Fennel then?

Henri or anyone is welcome to share your thoughts.

Thanks.

I am not the best person to answer how much fennel you should take, but I would say not to exceed whatever your bottle recommends for now, and start of slowly. And then ramp up if after a week or two you don't notice a difference. The other suggestion I have is to read through the program pages, they will be quite helpful in answering some of your questions, or giving you some more suggestions.

I would say it's best to take an equal dose of fennel andFG, like both 1800 mg.

Henri & Moon,

Thanks girlz !! :-)
