Five years ago in September, 2003, I began the Wiley Protocol.  I had been post-menopausal for nearly eight years (no periods) and found myself rapidly declining. For ten years I had been on static, low-dose HRT but it wasn’t keeping up with the speed of my demise.  My face produced a new, permanent wrinkle almost daily, I lost my libido, and my vaginal environment was so dry and the skin so thin, I gave up on sex.  No amount of external lubrication would ameliorate my discomfort.  I suffered from memory loss, both short term and long term, and fought low, to no vitality.  It was an effort to make it through my day. I felt “ill” all waking hours and slept fitfully at night. Self-employed, single and not rich, I was on the road to poverty and an artless death.

I read “Sex, Lies and Menopause” in a weekend.  I devoured the information recognizing myself on most of the pages and called my doctor on Monday morning telling him I wanted to get started on the protocol. He saw me, prescribed it and within the first month, I had a roaring period! I was delighted!

The first three months I experienced random anxiety, an old familiar feeling from childhood. I figured it was cellular recall and reawakening and went through it without a problem.  It was uncomfortable, but not the least bit frightening.  I understood it.

The beauty of it all was within that first month my memory returned.  My original, sharp, focused, fast mind was back! I was energized, feeling sexy, had boobs again and I got my hands wrapped around my life that was now acting like a bucking bronco!  I noticed the daily wrinkling in my skin had stopped.  Stopped! Within three months, the wrinkles and lines that had burrowed in during the last year, disappeared. My skin now is prettier, smoother and more moist than it was at fifty-five.  I am fifty-nine and most people put me at forty-eight.

These hormones are more than hormones.  They are microchips with our personalities and our life force encoded on them.  My spirit is now so strong, sure and full, I am turning the heads of young men and magnetizing young women to talk to me.  Men of all ages and walks of life want to talk with me, spend time with me, take me to bed.

My life is vitally active now and packed with professional success and personal passion. I’m hitting my stride at nearly sixty. My work is open, inspired and on an edge of uniqueness so creative, I love working seven days a week. I work out on a regular basis, run two businesses and enjoy personal relationships. My power has arrived and it’s all me.

I adore this protocol.  I think that for the first time in my life I have the right balance of hormones. At ten years of age, at my puberty, I contracted Infectious Hepatitis serious enough to reduce my shoe size a full measure and loose my breast tissue almost completely.  My breasts never fully returned. When I was nineteen I had an Ovarian Cystectomy which scrambled my ovaries and threw my hormones off balance impacting the regularity of my periods and throwing me into menopause early. Over these last five years, I have felt better than I have my entire life. I feel vital and strong throughout the entire month, my periods arrive like clockwork, and one of the best parts is--besides all the cleansing and rejuvenation I reap--I can’t get pregnant! I consider myself off the charts for my age. 

When the question is posed, “What if this proves to be wrong?”, I answer by saying “We already know what it’s like to be without hormones. I’d rather run the risk of feeling this good and having this quality of life for as long as I can, than suffer for years slowly dying because going without was right. Something natural that gives me this much health, can’t be wrong.  What’s wrong may be the questions we are asking and the questions we’re not asking.”

Celebrating being alive like never before, I direct many a female client and friend to T.S. Wiley.  I’m informing husbands about the protocol so they can encourage and support their wives who are hitting the menopausal wall. Often it is a worried or downright frightened husband who guides his wife to get help. It’s as much for him as it is for her.

This is true anti-aging medicine. To feel this great and have such capabilities at this stage in my life is not predicted. I’m fabulous now and improving all the time. That is not only unexpected, it’s miraculous.  I think T.S. Wiley has discovered one of the great medical secrets of life. She did it by studying dynamic life itself and repeating its natural cycles in her protocol. She understands Mother Nature.

I owe T.S. Wiley.  Only a woman of her passion, brilliant intelligence and drive could or would create this reality for the rest of us. She has my love, my gratitude and deepest respect for her courage, her enormous work, and her fierce commitment to women, science and a life well worth living.
