Default Question about AR for Menopausal Symptoms

Ok, this is not related to my PCOS but the women here are always so well-informed I thought I would post this here. My mom is going through menopause and has been having some unpleasant symptoms (hot flashes etc.) and was thinking about going on HRT, which I am not so sure is a great idea. I suggested she look into some alternative remedies first and see if those help, but I am not sure whether the standardly available stuff is really all that good, let alone whether she should even use something with soy in it (pos family history of breast cancer).

Aside from NPC, does anyone have suggestions about websites or products that I should look into for her? My mom is IR by the way, but does not have PCOS.

Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) helps with hot flashes. NPC is a good way to help with menopause.
Have her check out Dr. Lee's book "What the Dr. won't tell you about menopause".
