Dr. Jay Joshi, MD from Illionis emailed with this message:span>   I am contacting you regarding a new way to reduce or eliminate hot flashes.  I was directed to your blog by one of my patients.  We have been working on a treatment for the last 5 years for treating hot flashes.  We have had three publications and our most recent publication will be published in the June 2008 edition of the Lancet Oncology, one of the most respected oncology journals in the world.  The study focused on breast cancer survivors who may be on Arimidex and Tamoxifen.  However, the procedure can be used on non-breast cancer patients as well.  We found a highly statistically significant reduction in hot flashes and night awakenings.  This is far more effective than other treatments and safer.  Here is the news release on:   Yahoo   Forbes   LA Times   Dr. Joshi can be found at http://www.painmngt.com/   If any of you have success with this new treatment, please let us know on the forum!   Recent Developments   WE HAVE A FORUM!   After many requests to build a forum where women can hang out and talk about menopause, I have finally created it.  Please keep in mind that this will only become a valuable resource if you USE IT!  I wrote the first post and am now waiting for you gals to get online and talk to each other.  I think you will find it useful and beneficial to talk with others who are going through the same thing that you are.  Please give me some feedback - I need to know if you are enjoying this feature ... and pass the link along to your friends.   Go to the Everything Menopause Forum Now P.S.
