Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do or what I can take regarding hot flashes and night sweats?

I am a 58 year old woman who has had to have an emergency hysterectomy because of endometrial cancer. They got it all and I am going to be okay. Now the night sweats are even worse than before the surgery. I wake up 3 to 4 times a night having to change my clothes. In the morning I wake up exhausted for lack of sleep. I have tried progesterone cream, black cohash, dong qui, vitamin E and most products out there. Progesterone cream does help some. I do try and stay away from caffeine and spicy foods. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. My doctor will not put me on any drugs or HRT because of the cancer. The doctor tells me to go the natural route and I am trying, but need some suggestions.

Help needed with dent in skin (pockmark)?

Hi I recently had chiken pocks. one of my scabs came off in the shower twice and now I have a medium sized hole bang centre of the forehead :( I have now pricked it with a pin to encourage it to scab again and it has started to but is very small. Anyway I have 2 questions, first of all the dent seems smaller that before so could it possibly level offf slightly?

Also which products would you say I use out of these? I was thinking to use 3 of these. is it ok?

Am I pairing the right vitamins with diet and exercise to lose weight?

I am taking Vitamin A, Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, FlaxSeed Oil, iron, Cinnamon capsules, Green tea capsules, ginseng capsules, and Cayenne fruit capsules along with my daily exercise and diet regimen. Am I taking too much or even the right things? I am taking the dosages like the label suggests, but I have never really taken any supplements before, but diet and exercise have never worked with me before. I do suffer from anemia.

Antioxidants – all hype?

I am getting caught up in the whole ORAC measurements and antioxidant’s anti-aging power. I am drinking more green tea and eating more cranberries and goji berries, and daily vitamin E supplements. I feel good about my better dieting but can’t help but think if antioxidants are all hype. What makes one antioxidant different from others? For instance, if vitamin C is an antioxidant, why can’t I just drink more Hi-C (ignoring the high sugar content) to get my antioxidants? Should I just ignore claims from foods that say antioxidants are super cool and just focus more on other aspects of the food???
