Dear Nancy,
I wonder about your independence from herbal pharmaceutical industry. It’s as well as proven that EPO doesn’t work against PMDD, see http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/patient-primrose.html

This is the first time I’ve been accused of being independent from the pharmaceutical industry. Usually it’s the other way around, so I’ll take that as a compliment.
The fact is that many women do get relief using EPO.
The source that you point to suggests larger, well-designed studies should be conducted before any recommendations are made. I agree. Nothing has been proven conclusively yet.
