Thanks Mel, I have found the article again. It was really bugging me that I couldn't remember where I had first seen it!! This short term memory loss can be very frustrating -- things usually come back to me later down the track, but occasionally - like this - no matter how hard I try I just can't find it!!
I have been in contact with the Petrea King Quest For Life Centre and they have a homeopathic remedy for 'flushes' -- its only about $21.00 by mail -- so I thought I'd give it a try and see if it will work. If I get any benefit at all I will let you know the details! Best wishes to Carol and your family, Cath
