I go to an alternative healthcare dr. who is very good at telling me what NOT to take. Certain oils have estrogenic properties and are pretty strong. I have a history of breast cancer so I can't take Evening Primrose oil, just as I can't take any kind of prescription estrogen replacements. If anybody has been told to avoid estrogens, please, please don't take EPO.
