Hi, Palonia,

Like you, I would have thought that all hennas were alike, save for
this site, and - also like you - I have simply been devouring the
information here. I had breast cancer five years ago, alone of all my
female relations, and this despite being a vegetarian, nonsmoker,
and one who takes a 'wee nip'only very occasionally.I get dreadful
migraines, facial oedema, and erupt in hives for no hitherto
discernible reason, and even my doctor found it quite mysterious.
Well, hello, PPDs! Since finding this site, I have followed link
after link, doing my own research along the way, and didn't I find an
article in which I learned of a 1986 study which connected breast
cancer and PPDs - a study whose results were never widely
disseminated, and which was never followed by others. Truly, had it
not been for this site, I might well have carried on using chemical
hair dyes and putting myself at further risk. As it is, I am awaiting
my first package of henna from Catherine, since I'd be an idiot not
to make the change, and I say three cheers for this site!
