Fertility, Infertility: Natural Women's Health, Natural Medicine for Women
The Holistic Approach To Infertility and Miscarriage
Inability to conceive after at least a year of regular sexual intercourse without the use of contraceptives, can be due to causes that lie either in the man or the woman or both. Identification of the underlying causation is the key to successful treatment. The natural approach to treating infertility solves the root causes of infertility, by addressing all body systems, rather than just focusing solely on the reproductive system.

    Risk of Miscarriage Linked to Antidepressants
    Researcher advises against Paxil, Effexor during first trimester

    A research published study in CMAJ (the Canadian Medical Association Journal)  reports that expectant moms taking antidepressants may increase their risk of having a miscarriage by 68 percent, Canadian researchers report. Antidepressant use is common during pregnancy, with up to 3.7 percent of women taking the drugs during the first trimester. Stopping treatment can lead to a return of depression and other symptoms, and previous studies of the medications' effects on the fetus have been small and had contradictory results. But the Canadian case-control study on more than 5,000 women found that by controlling for other factors associated with miscarriage, taking antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) during pregnancy led to an increased risk of miscarriage.

    Infertility Chemical Found in Perfumes
    The Australian  The Sunday Times 25 Nov 02 

    High levels of a chemical blamed for causing infertility in men have been found in some of the world's best-known perfumes and cosmetics. Chanel No 5, Christian Dior's Poison, Eternity from Calvin Klein and Tresor by Lancome were among 34 toiletries found by a Swedish study to contain di-ethylhexyl phthalate or other phthalates. The European Commission is proposing a ban on the use in cosmetics of two of the most potent forms of phthalates amid fears they cause genital abnormalities affecting up to 4 per cent of male babies.

    These genital abnormalities - which can include undescended testicles and malformation of the urinary tract - are blamed for soaring levels of testicular cancer in young men. Cases of the disease have risen tenfold in the past century. About 1900 British males, some as young as 15, are diagnosed every year. Nine out of 10 cases are cured, but doctors are worried by the trend. Scientists believe the phthalates could be absorbed into women's bloodstreams through the skin or inhalation.

    The Cosmetic Toiletry and Perfumery Association condemned the report as inaccurate. It said: "Consumer safety is the first priority for the cosmetic industry and consumers can have complete confidence in the cosmetic products they use, and in the regulatory framework which ensures cosmetic safety." Numerous studies on rats and mice have shown phthalate exposure causes genital abnormality. The latest research was conducted by a Swedish government-accredited laboratory for Healthcare Without Harm, a US-based organisation representing 300 consumer pressure groups around the world.

    Researchers at the Analycen lab analysed 34 leading brands of cosmetics and found more than three-quarters contained phthalates, which help prevent loss of fragrance. The investigation found other forms of the chemical in Tommy Girl perfume, Impulse Body Spray, Nivea Deo Compact, Sure Ultra deodorant, Shockwaves hair mousse and four hairsprays including Elnett Satin, Pantene Pro-V Extra Hold and Vidal Sassoon.

    Per Rosander, who wrote the report, said: "What we know about these chemicals is that they cause damage to the reproductive system. That is why they have been classed by the EU as reproductive toxins."  Sharpe, of the Medical Research Council's Human Reproductive Sciences Unit in Edinburgh, said: "If you wanted to produce a list of environmental causes of the reproductive health problems in boys, phthalates would be pretty near the top of the list." Actor Julia Sawalha, who played Saffy in Absolutely Fabulous, supports the Women's Environmental Network, a backer of the Swedish research. "Chemicals that pose a risk to fertility do not belong in cosmetics, and manufacturers should be made to list ingredients," she said.

    SOY AS A MALE CONTRACEPTIVE

    Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD - "In September of this year, researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health presented evidence at the 63rd annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine showing that soy phytoestrogens can seriously lower a man’s sperm count. This is old news to Weston A. Price Foundation members. Over the years, we’ve often reported on research that links soy consumption to poor sperm quality, lower testosterone levels and sagging libidos. Dr. Chavarro and colleagues studied 100 men whose partners were having trouble getting pregnant. Semen analyses showed that the men with the highest levels of soy food intake-approximately a half serving per day-had 41 million sperm per milliliter fewer than men who did not consume any soy-that’s 41 million fewer sperm per milliliter on just one-half cup of soy food per day! The researchers used a questionnaire listing 15 soy-based foods to determine soy consumption over the preceding three months."  more

    Phytoestrogens Nature's Contraceptives
    Phytoestrogens can make animals infertile, what about people?

    The ability of phytoestrogens to prevent reproduction in animals has been known about since the 1940's. There is a wealth of evidence that shows that mammals exposed to estrogens during critical periods of sexual development can suffer a drastic reduction in fertility.  There is also strong evidence that soy phytoestrogens such as genistein can inhibit 17-b-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase, an enzyme which is required for the synthesis of testosterone and the development of the CNS-gonadal axis.   There is also evidence that the soy isoflavones genstein and daidzein are genotoxic to human sperm.  It is quite possible, therefore, that phytoestrogens, along with other endocrine disrupting compounds such as DDT, may contribute to the worldwide decrease in male fertility. more

    James Bowen, M.D. told the FDA years ago "Every known metabolite of aspartame is of marked or questionable toxicity and patently unsafe for human use." In Aspartame Murders Infants he said: "At every point in the fertility process aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, Canderal, Benevia, etc.) destroys. ....It ruins female sexual response and induces male sexual dysfunction. Beyond this, aspartame disrupts fetal development by aborting it or inducing defects. And if a live child is born aspartame may have heinously damaged the DNA of the baby cursing future generation." Learn about the Legal class action against aspartame. learn more

  • "I have observed severe intellectual deterioration associated with the use of aspartame products (NutraSweet/Equal/Spoonful/Canderal/Benevia, etc.)  It was usually manifest as great difficulty in reading and writing, obvious problems with memory and grossly impaired orientation to time, place and  person." H. J. Roberts, M.D.

    In a cell culture experiment, mercury affected hormone production at low concentrations. A link has been found between mercury and hormone disturbances, immune disturbances, recurrent fungal infections, hair loss and allergies. The differences are large. Allergies and hair loss are 2-3 times as common in the high- mercury group. These recent results confirm earlier findings from Heidelberg on mercury and fertility. According to the researchers, mercury exposure leads to hormone and immune disturbances that can reduce fertility. In a cell culture experiment at the Tuebingen University gynecological clinic, mercury affected hormone production at low concentrations. The concentrations were so low that cell vitality was otherwise almost unaffected.



    Infertility and water fluoridation - Chlorinated tap water linked to birth defects
    By Jacqui Thornton Health Correspondent and Martyn Halle

    Scientists from Imperial College, London University, will carry out the research after doctors in Norway, Canada and the United States reported higher levels of birth defects in areas where chlorine is used, compared with drinking water treated by alternative methods. A Norwegian study of 141,000 births over three years found a 14 per cent increased risk of birth defects in areas with chlorinated water. Scientists have already found an association between chlorine and an increased risk of bowel, kidney and bladder cancer, but it is the first time that a link has been found with higher levels of spina bifida.

    Infertility in women was found to increase with water fluoridation. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists reported a close correlation between decreasing total fertility rates in women between ages of 10 and 49, and increasing fluoride levels. They also reported that a review of all of the animal studies done to date shows that fluoride adversely affects fertility in most animal species.  More about the Adverse Health Effects of Fluoride

    Homeopathy for Infertility

    Jacob I. Mirman, MD  - "Since homeopathy is meant to treat the whole person, it affects the reproductive organs just as surely as all the rest.  If there is no irreversible pathology there it will create conditions favorable to reproduction, since this is what those organs are meant to do.  This fact is well known among homeopaths and stories of making babies in infertile women abound." 

    Homeopathic medicine developed much of its popularity in the United States and Europe because of its success in treating people with cholera, scarlet fever, yellow fever and other infectious diseases that were ravaging populations. Homeopathy also provides many valuable medicines in treating people who suffer from accidents and injuries. When these medicines are used in conjunction with conventional first aid procedures, the risk of long-term damage from an injury can be significantly decreased and the healing process can be noticeably enhanced.

    Homeopathy can offer good health to women in all stages of their lives from infancy through old age. It is beneficial for the full range of emotional, mental and physical problems that a woman is likely to experience, and can help her through the transitional and developmental milestones of her  life. Homeopathy is truly a friend to women. It is a comprehensive system of medicine which is able to meet the needs of people in all facets of their lives, and through all of life's transitions. By strengthening the immune system and helping to balance the mind and the emotions, homeopathy can help women achieve the higher purposes of their lives, and feel their very best.

    Glutathione's Role for Sperm Quality and Male Fertility

    A decrease in levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) during sperm production has been shown to cause disruption in the membrane integrity of spermatozoa as a consequence of increased oxidative stress. Intracellular glutathione levels of spermatozoa are shown to be decreased in certain populations of infertile men. At the 94th Annual Meeting of the American Urological Association, andrologists presented strong clinical evidence that men diagnosed with infertility have high levels of oxidative stress that may impair the quality of their sperm.

    Compared with a control group, the infertile men in all groups had significantly higher levels of ROS and lower levels of total antioxidants. In some groups, higher levels of ROS were associated with lower sperm counts and defective sperm structure, while lower antioxidant levels correlated with reduced sperm movement. Their results supported previous evidence showing that oxidative stress can decrease a sperm's life span, its motility, and its ability to penetrate the oocyst, or egg cell. Up to 40% of men with male infertility without a known cause have higher levels of free radical activity in their bodies. Because men with high levels of ROS have a seven-fold lower likelihood of inducing a pregnancy than men with lower levels, researchers recommend that treatment for infertile men should include strategies to reduce oxidative stress and improve sperm quality.

    In a double-blind cross-over study of 20 infertile men, treatment with glutathione led to a statistically significant improvement of the sperm quality. The study concerned men in whom the sperm quality was poor due to unilateral varicocele or germ-free genital tract inflammation - two conditions in which ROS or other toxic compounds are indicated as causative factors. Treatment with glutathione was found to have a statistically significantly positive effect on, among other things, sperm motility (in particular forward motility) and on sperm morphology. The findings of these studies indicate that glutathione therapy could represent a possible therapeutical tool in cases where ROS or exposure to toxins is the probable cause of male infertility.

    Preventing Miscarriages
    Preventing Miscarriages
    For an increasing number of couples, the joy of achieving pregnancy results in a devastating situation in which a miscarriage occurs with the loss of a pregnancy, usually in the first trimester. Miscarriages occur in about one-sixth of all pregnancies, and many of them are due to a disarrangement of chromosomes during cell division. This usually doesn’t happen two times. However, some patients are plagued by repeated miscarriages. In these cases, miscarriages may be due to hormonal imbalances, abnormalities of the uterus, or genetic abnormalities. Modern technology can correct most of these problems. Endometriosis is a condition where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus and has also been associated with miscarriage. This condition can be detected and cured so that it doesn’t interfere with pregnancy. In many couples there’s an immunologic cause for multiple miscarriages. A simple blood test can be done to look for abnormal antibodies which attack the early placenta as it tries to develop its root system into the wall of the uterus. For most causes of miscarriage, there’s a cure or a corrective procedure available. Talk to a doctor in your area for more information.

    Is Your Body Baby-Friendly?: Unexplained Infertility, Miscarriage & IVF Failure - Explained and Treated   In response to growing demand, the thoughts and theories of the internationally acclaimed fertility specialist Dr. Alan Beer have been documented. "Is Your Body Baby-Friendly?" explains for the first time ever why "unexplained" infertility, IVF failures and recurrent miscarriages happen.  This book shows how the immune system can behave in a way that prevents a pregnancy from continuing. High levels of Natural Killer cells, genetic compatibility between partners and blood clotting problems are all significant causes of reproductive failure. Autoimmunity—either inherited or environmentally triggered—is a major reason for the increase in infertility and miscarriage today. In addition to medical treatments, there are also natural ways that the immune system can be moderated to create a more "baby-friendly" environment. For the first time, readers will be able to see that their reproductive problems have a root cause and that in many cases, they can be addressed with immune therapy and possibly by making certain changes to their lifestyle. 

    Prozac in Pregnancy Toxic to Fetus
    Women who take the popular antidepressant Prozac while pregnant might negatively affect the development of their babies. Researchers found some of the consequences included babies that were born lighter and sleepier than normal. Respiratory problems were another reported consequence. A report revealed that the effects of taking the drug were more likely to happen in utero exposure during the late stages in gestation. The report involved the study of Prozac, known generically as fluoxetine. Although the studied toxicity of this drug was considered to be reversible, long-term studies have yet to be performed to observe residual effects. Experts also found that Prozac could affect sex drive in both adult men and women, and it was discovered that the drug was getting into the blood of newborns through breast milk. It was also reported that mood disorders in women of childbearing years was common and statistics showed that 15.6 percent of women met the qualifications for major depression while in their third trimester of pregnancy. Researchers suggested further examination of how and why antidepressants could trigger the production of new brain cells, which could affect a fetus or newborn in ways that haven’t yet been explored. CNN April 28, 2004 

    Dr. Mercola - "Depression is a serious condition that needs to be taken seriously, especially among pregnant women because of the possible health risks that can be caused to the developing fetus or later to the newborn child. But drugs are rarely a wise choice for pregnant women. There are much safer alternatives where you won’t have to risk negatively altering the development of your baby and any other long-term health effects. Here are some simple and virtually non-toxic therapy options: The use of omega-3 oils is an absolute must with most Americans but particularly with pregnant women. This is because the vast majority of women are deficient in higher order beneficial omega-3 fats like DHA. DHA is responsible for: Preventing the vast majority of premature deliveries, Maximizing intelligence and Optimizing vision in infants. Supplementing your diet with omega-3 fat from fish oil or cod liver oil is also an excellent way to treat depression. If this subject interests you, I highly recommend Dr. Stoll's book The Omega-3 Connection. He is a Harvard psychiatrist who has done a great job of compiling the evidence supporting the use of fish oils for depression.  But in addition to treating the depression, omega-3 will also do wonders for improving the intelligence of the child and protecting them from the epidemic of brain injuries such as autism, pervasive developmental delay and ADHD".

    Chemicals and Toxins Are The Primary Cause of Illness, Disease, Miscarriage
    Substances that are toxic to our bodies come at us from all directions: the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the cleaning products we use, and the metabolic waste produced inside us. Toxins build-up in the body contribute to premature aging and chronic and degenerative diseases. Dr. Steve Nugent, the past president of the American Naturopathic Medical Association, reported recently that "in the typical American home there are more toxins inside the home than outside the home! Your cells actually contain over 400 new toxins that didn't even exist 45 years ago and we are losing the battle against toxins!" It's a fact. There are increasing amounts of toxins and chemical agents in the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe - they all contribute to the breakdown in cellular communication and disease.  more

    Gluten intolerance (Celiac disease) in women can cause miscarriages if untreated
    Gluten is a special type of protein that is commonly found in rye, wheat, and barley. Doctor Alessio Fasano, a gastroenterologist and the director of the Center for Celiac Research at the University of Maryland in Baltimore has publicly stated his findings on the subject. Left untreated, celiac disease dramatically increases the risk of certain cancers, osteoporosis, miscarriage, infertility and a host of other ailments, and "it has a mortality rate twice that of the general population. Treated, the mortality rate goes back to normal," Fasano says. Symptoms for the disease vary greatly in type and intensity, and some people have no symptoms, making this disease difficult to recognize and leading to chameleon like references. Extreme fatigue, often due to iron-deficient anemia, is one of the most universal symptoms. The word celiac comes from the Greek word "koila" meaning belly, which is where the most common symptoms originate. Abdominal cramping, severe gas, bloating, oily stools, weight loss or weight gain, and joint pain are just a few of the potential signs that gluten is wreaking havoc with your small intestine. However, "any organ of the body can be affected or targeted. Sometimes it is diarrhea, sometimes constipation, miscarriages, or behavioral changes," Fasano says.

    Link found between food packaging and miscarriages 
    Scientists in Japan have found evidence of a link between recurrent miscarriages and a chemical widely used in food packaging. Women with a history of miscarriages were found to have higher levels of the compound in their bodies. The scientists admit that their findings are based on a small preliminary study, but say further research into the chemical's effect on human reproduction is "definitely warranted". The compound is called bisphenol-A or BPA. It is used in plastic food containers, cans and dental sealants. Research suggests it leaches from products and is absorbed in low concentrations by the human body. A separate study last month suggested it might be a contributing factor to women developing breast cancer. 

    Magnesium Deficiency, Infertility and Miscarriage

    A small clinical study of infertile women as well as women with a history of miscarriage found that low levels of magnesium may impair reproductive function and increase the risk for miscarriage. The authors of the study suggest that one aspect of the treatment of infertility (particularly in women with a history of miscarriage) should include magnesium along with selenium. More research in this area is needed.

    Magnesium is nothing short of a miracle mineral in its healing effect on a wide range of diseases as well as in its ability to rejuvenate the aging body. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency may include agitation and anxiety, restless leg syndrome (RLS), sleep disorders, irritability, nausea and vomiting, abnormal heart rhythms, low blood pressure, confusion, muscle spasm and weakness, hyperventilation, insomnia, and even seizures. Approximately nine out of ten people will show dramatic improvements in the state of their health when they restore their magnesium levels and the very best way to do that is with ancient minerals magnesium drawn from an ancient inactive seabed 2 miles beneath the earth in Europe. With such “brine solutions” one can simply apply the concentrate to the skin or pour it into ones bath water and one will have a medical treatment of primordial priority. Nothing short of a miracle is to be expected in ones health status if one is ill when one increases the cellular levels of magnesium. more: educational information

    "I’d always wanted children but, after I turned 30, I knew it’d be difficult – years before, I’d been diagnosed with a condition that can cause infertility." ".... With some couples, Bernard treats both partners, but it seemed my PCOS was the biggest problem so only I was treated, and I saw him once every couple of weeks. Bernard told me he was inserting six to 10 needles along my body’s energy lines. With each session I felt less stressed and a lot healthier. You feel the needles go in, but it’s not like you scream in pain. Bernard also works with a nutritionist who gave us advice to maximise our health. Just over four months later, in May 2007, I took a pregnancy test – it was positive and we were ecstatic, it was such a relief. We were even happier that it meant we didn’t have to look into doing anything more invasive, like IVF. We’d have been very reluctant to try that as we were desperate to conceive as naturally as possible." more

    The Many Phases of Fertility
    Three Ways to Increase Fertility.



    Glyconutrients and Fertility

    Dr. William Albrecht writes in "Soil Fertility and Animal Health", that it takes a fertile healthy soil to grow healthy nutritious crops to sustain healthy productive animals or people

    Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton is a rich source of glyconutrients, and contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet". Containing a wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body. Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer. Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens increase energy and stamina by improving our ability to consume and use oxygen. Adaptogens also improve cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and circulation. more about marine phytoplankton's healing power

    The initial section on general nutrition is a great guide to healthy eating with valuable tips about shopping and preparation. (I found Shannon's information about essential fatty acids particularly helpful.) The subsequent chapters hold invaluable information about the role that different vitamins (like B6, folic acid) and minerals (like magnesium and selenium) play in regulating and enhancing a woman's cycle and her fertility (including topics like controlling PMS and handling menopause). Table V, on recommended supplements, has become my personal "bible" for vitamin supplementation - something I never "believed in" before reading this book. As Shannon suggests in chapter 15, I hired a local (Chicago-area) nutritionist to help me with supplements. She read Shannon's book for the first time at my request and confirmed my opinion that this book is excellent. For example, not only does Shannon list recommended daily amounts for vitamins and minerals in her Table V, but she also tells you in a separate column what the latest research shows about toxicity, i.e., at what amount this vitamin or mineral may become harmful.

    "My husband and I wanted children so badly and were told that we couldn't have them. I tried fertility treatments and had no success. I had 3 miscarriages and was emotionally destroyed. We finally gave up and decided to move to Florida and just go on with our lives. I got a call from a wonderful friend who was calling to share glyconutrients with me. I purchased Goji (lycium) juice in March and found out that I was pregnant in May. We were elated! In September I had to go on complete bed rest but our baby was born completely healthy and on time. He is a Very Happy Baby and hardly ever cries. His disposition is unlike any other child I have ever seen. He has done everything early. He was sitting up unassisted at 5 months, at 6 months he was crawling and was walking at 9 months. At 8 months he started feeding himself had 8 teeth. We were very blessed and feel that if we hadn't have had Goji (lycium) juice, he would have never come along. My baby was born 1/10/05. And the best news is I am currently 5 months pregnant AGAIN and due in March!  I am taking Goji (lycium) juice again and looking forward to my next Goji (lycium) juice Baby!  I thank God for bringing Goji (lycium) juice into my life!"  Jennifer E., Shreveport, LA

    Nature's Answer to Infertility Problems?
    Bee Pollen stimulates ovarian function. The best results were obtained with a pollen supplementation of 2 parts per 100 in the ration, and with the substitution of animal proteins with pollen in a proportion of 5 parts per 100. The intensity of ovulation increased. Parallel to this increase in ovulation, pollen also improves the ability of eggs to withstand the incubation period. The best results were obtained with a quantity of 4 parts per 100 of pollen added to the ration, resulting in an increase in the percentage of eggs in respect to the control group. The application of pollen is recommended whenever the end result is obtaining eggs for reproduction. 


    Holistic Approach to Infertility

    Phytotherapeutic approaches to infertility.
    There is much that herbs can contribute to supporting fertility, but there is no 'wonder cure' here. The suggestions given here will help, but the practitioner is encouraged to be creative and intuitive in remedy selection. Each individual woman and man will have plants that suit them best. Identifying them is part of the skill of the good herbalist. 

    Hormonal imbalance
    Hormonal problems, in either partner, are readily treated herbally. Whilst not containing hormones themselves, some herbs stimulate the glands concerned, bringing about production of the right proportions of hormones and in their right sequence in the menstrual cycle to promote conception. Vitex agnus castus is the key to success here. Research carried out in the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, found that although it does not contain the hormone progesterone, it affects the pituitary gland in such a way that it corrects and regulates the secretion of progesterone from the ovaries. Vitex also corrects any hormone deficiency of either oestrogen or progesterone.

    Chamaelirium luteum also has the effect of correcting hormonal imbalances. In Britain, the most frequent use of this remedy is for female infertility, as well as impotence on the part of the man. Herbalists have been known to warn people of the potency of this plant should they not want to conceive! It is an effective tonic to the uterus and ovaries, and is useful to redress almost any imbalance in either male or female reproductive systems. It helps to prevent miscarriage, uterine hemorrhage and over-relaxed conditions of the uterus, even to the extent of prolapse.

    Aromatherapy and Massage
    Aromatherapy utilises essential oils distilled from plants and flowers. Each oil has a distinctive energy and personality. Combined with massage, aromatherapy can help to release mental, emotional and physical stress and promote overall health. The essential oils have been used to support the immune and hormonal systems, promote ovulation and sperm production and treat disorders like fibroids and endometriosis. Understanding Fertility

    Jacob I. Mirman, MD  - "Since homeopathy is meant to treat the whole person, it affects the reproductive organs just as surely as all the rest.  If there is no irreversible pathology there it will create conditions favorable to reproduction, since this is what those organs are meant to do.  This fact is well known among homeopaths and stories of making babies in infertile women abound." more

    Water Therapy

    Water therapy has been used for centuries to heal the sick.  Hydro- and hydrothermal therapy are traditional methods of treatment that have been used for the treatment of disease and injury by many cultures, including those of ancient Rome, China, and Japan. The ancient Greeks took therapeutic baths. Water is an important ingredient in the traditional Chinese and Native American healing systems. more

    F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. - "Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water. Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive the vital elements that water supplies. Water is also needed to carry toxic waste away from the cells. In fact, there are at least 50 reasons why the body needs sufficient water on a regular, everyday basis. Without sufficient water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are activated to arrange a new, lower quota of water for the drought-stricken areas. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is what I discovered in my research that I mentioned earlier."   more

    Ultrasound - More powerful, more dangerous, more unethical

    Ultrasound equipment bombards a fetus for up to one hour with megahertz radiation. This radiation, which cycles millions of time per second, can cause mutation and bleeding in the intestinal cells of rodents.31 Swedish scientists say routine ultrasound scanning of pregnant women may be causing subtle brain damage in unborn babies.32 Approximately half of all pregnancies in the U.S. result in prenatal or postnatal death, or an otherwise less than healthy baby.33 Many wonder if routine exposure of America's fragile unborn to megahertz radiation might be a factor, among others, of this shocking national statistic. Is fetal ultrasound exposure playing some part in the national epidemic of delayed development in infants, plus learning and behavior difficulties suffered by millions of our school children? Exposing the unborn to ionizing X-radiation at airport checkpoints is an even more dangerous game of roulette. 

    New research has raised doubts over the safety of ultrasound scans used to view fetuses in the womb. Scientists have called for further research to determine whether safety limits should be reviewed for the tests, which are also used to check internal organs in children and adults. Since the early 1990s, when American researchers showed that ultrasound tissue heating can cause bleeding in mouse intestines, ultrasonographers tune the power of scans to reduce heating. The latest discovery, by scientists at University College Dublin, is the first to find that scans create changes in cells. Patrick Brennan, who led the research, said: "It has been assumed for a long time that ultrasound has no effect on cells. We now have grounds to question that assumption." The researchers gave 12 mice an eight megahertz scan lasting for 15 minutes. Hospital scans can last for up to an hour, using frequencies of between three and 10 megahertz. According to today's New Scientist, two significant changes in the cells of the small intestine were detected in scanned mice compared with unscanned mice. Four and a half hours after exposure, the rate of cell division had reduced by 22 per cent and the rate of programmed cell death had approximately doubled. Mr Brennan believes there will be similar effects in humans. New Scientist ISSUE 1476 Thursday 10 June 1999   more...

    Ultrasound Scans Linked to Brain Damage in Babies
    Evidence suggesting that ultrasound scans on pregnant women cause brain damage in their unborn babies has been uncovered by scientists.


    The Fastest Way To Get Pregnant Naturally 

    Williams, a medical doctor specializing in obstetrics and gynecology, offers important preconceptual advice for everyone of childbearing age. He discusses how to achieve a speedy conception and explains what to do in the preconceptual and early pregnancy periods to improve the pregnancy outcome and increase the child's chances for a healthy start in life. Despite the book's title, those seeking information on natural fertility enhancement methods, such as herbal supplementation, may be disappointed. The natural methods alluded to involve working with the body's natural fertility by better understanding human reproductive physiology, and the author does recommend the use of medical technology, including hormone testing, sonograms, and vaccines. Still, this is a useful book that fills a gap in the current literature in two ways: it addresses conception for couples who do not have diagnosed medical conditions interfering with fertility, and it incorporates new research findings and information on current reproductive technology

    Learn Secrets That Most Women Will Never Know About Fertility


    LIGHT YOUR FIRE - Women's Sexuality by Linda Page, N.D. Ph.D.
    "While men worry about what turns them on, women worry about what turns them off." Linda Page, N.D. Ph.D.

    It's becoming an old and all too well-known story: In today's world, most women have to be a "superwoman." It is expected that women must play the varied roles of wife, lover, mother, wage-earner, chauffeur, care-giver, teacher, philanthropist and volunteer - not to mention chief cook and bottle-washer!  Pressures on women are enormous and women's lifestyles are energy-sapping. Over 80% of women visiting their doctor's today put chronic tiredness at the top of the list of their health problems. This is definitely interfering with women's love life and sexuality. 

    Does aging mean decreased sexuality? No! In fact, it may mean just the opposite, especially for women. Maturity brings experience and relaxation into sexuality. After menopause, most women feel far more spontaneous and much more connected to a loving partner. Psychological factors may govern our rate of sexual activity but once a woman's libido is awakened, it responds until she dies. But great sex depends on good health. Most of a woman's barriers to having great sex are physical - stemming from an unhealthy lifestyle, poor nutrition, stress and burnout, or the side effects of prescription drugs. Even if her sexual challenges stem from emotional issues, good nutrition and healing herbs can make a tremendous positive impact. 

    Optimizing women's sexual health, libido, and pleasure
    India Herbs has a seasoned group of Ayurvedic doctors specialized in Vajikarana, one of the eight major specialties of Ayurveda (the ancient science dealing with medicine).  Vajikarana prescribes the therapeutic use of various aphrodisiacs and tonic preparations for enhancing the reproductive capabilities and vigor of women while strengthening the body and overall well-being.  Vajikarana scientists combine a proprietary herbal formula based on centuries old wisdom with advice on diet, exercise, mental training, and relaxation to help women reach their peak and overcome sexual concerns through safe, natural means. The precise combination of ingredients in Kama Rani along with a mind-body focus precisely addresses the sexual concerns of women!

    Western medicine relies on aggressive prescription drugs and surgery to deal with many problems related to sexual dysfunction. Unfortunately, these methods often result in unwanted and even dangerous side effects. Ayurveda, the science of life, prevention and longevity, is the oldest and most holistic and comprehensive medical system available.  Its fundamentals can be found in Hindu scriptures called the Vedas - the ancient Indian books of wisdom written over 5,000 years ago.  Ayurveda uses the inherent principles of nature to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual's body, mind and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature. learn more

    Sexual Performance and Enhancement - Fulfillment for Women 
    Low Libido / Frigidity / Low Sexual Desire

    According to a Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) study approximately 43 percent of women and 31 percent of men suffer sexual inadequacy for one reason or another. The reasons cited included low desire, frigidity, performance anxiety, premature ejaculation and/or pain during intercourse. This is thought to actually be an underestimation of the real level of sexual dysfunction in the U.S. Research indicated that many of the sexual concerns were likely treatable, as they are due to physical or emotional health issues. 

    These health concerns may include common hormonal imbalances such as hypothyroidism, low progesterone levels, low testosterone levels; emotional blocks related to your self, your partner or your relationship; overweight conditions, lack of exercise and personal time, mental stress related to family or personal issues, Menopause, Surgery (particularly ovarian or uterine), Low self-image, exhaustion or fatigue, Childbirth, Depression, Trauma due to rape or childhood abuse.

    Many women in particular still complain of a lack of sexual desire for two years after childbirth due to the hormonal and personal changes that occur. Low libido, lack of sexual desire, and lack of sexual fulfillment are a few of the potential symptoms that are not resolved for many people.

    Western medicine relies on aggressive prescription drugs and surgery to deal with many problems related to sexual dysfunction.  Unfortunately, these methods often result in unwanted and even dangerous side effects.  Non-medical methods of penis enhancement through exercise using weights, straps, rings, and pumps have proven destructive to muscle tissue.  And natural pills provide fleeting, inconsistent results.

    Myth of Osteoporosis - Protecting Your Bones and Reversing Osteoporosis Naturally
    No matter what your age, bone health is important. Strong bones help prevent osteoporosis, a disease in which bones become fragile and break easily. Osteoporosis is, indeed. a major health concern for western women. However, it should be noted that women in other cultures around the world either do not suffer from osteoporosis or have lower bone density but with no increased risk of fracture. Recent news reports have raised the question about whether there is an increased risk of fracture in patients with osteoporosis using medication known as bisphosphonates which includes brand names such as Fosamax, Actonel, Boniva and Reclast. Researchers believe that bisphosphonates not only suppress bone resorption, but also interfere with new bone formation. This effect is seen only after bisphosphonates have been used for more than five years. Learn about protecting your Bones and reversing osteoporosis naturally. more...


    WHAT IS TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME?
    Toxic Shock Syndrome develops when the common bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, produce a toxin which is absorbed into the bloodstream. The toxin rapidly overwhelms the immune system and attacks the major organs, leading to kidney failure, collapse of the lungs and in severe cases, cardiac arrest. Alarmingly, half of all known cases of Toxic Shock are women using TAMPONS.

    Toxic Tampons Pose Health Risks
    by Sara Chamberlain

    An American woman uses as many as 11,000 tampons in her lifetime. Most tampons sold by companies such as Tampax, OB, Playtex and Kotex are made of rayon or rayon-cotton blends. Rayon, a woodpulp derivative commonly bleached with chlorine, contains dioxin, an organochlorine formed during the bleaching process.

    Mounting evidence suggests that low levels of dioxin may be linked to cancer (especially breast cancer), immune system suppression and low sperm counts. A February 7 Village Voice article estimated that 73 million US women regularly risk dioxin exposure when they put bleached sanitary products in contact with highly absorbent mucous membranes.

    In 1992, a congressional subcommittee discovered a March 1989 memo stating that Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists had detected trace levels of dioxin in tampons.

    The memo warned that "the risk of dioxin in tampons can be quite high," and that "the most effective risk-management strategy would be to assure that tampons contain no dioxin." Subcommittee chair Ted Weiss accused the FDA of purposely ignoring the dioxin danger in tampons. A New York University School of Medicine study, published in the July 1994 issue of Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology, suggested that rayon also produces Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, which cause toxic shock syndrome (TSS). When researchers tested 20 varieties of tampons for their ability to induce TSS toxins, the bacteria were detected in all US brands.

    The Premarin Industry: Holocaust for Horses 

    Premarin - a prescription drug currently being used by over 8 million women with menopausal symptoms--is responsible for agonizing conditions and ultimate death of thousands of horses annually.  Watch the videos

    "Of the women in menopause today, about half start synthetic hormone replacement, but only half of those stick  with it because of the side effects or fear of cancer risk. The threat of breast and uterine cancer is dramatically increased with HRT. Premarin, an estrogen replacement drug for menopausal women made from pregnant mare's urine, is the top selling drug of any kind in the U.S. But justifiable controversy about synthetic hormone replacementmay mean that the threat of breast and uterine cancer is dramatically increased with HRT. In 51 studies covering 21 countries involving more than 52,000 women with breast cancer and 108,000 women without breast cancer, women who used Premarin for 5 years or longer had a 35% higher risk of developing cancer than women who had never been on HRT. (Good news! The higher risk for breast cancer diminished and largely disappeared after about 5 years off HRT treatment.) Most women don't know that Premarin, is made from pregnant mare's urine, and that the mares are kept in horrendous conditions - their foals are sold for slaughter. Premarin is the most prescribed of all drugs in America today. The mares are artificially inseminated and forced to spend their 11-month pregnancies in stalls so small they cannot turn. If they try to lie down, their heads are jolted upright by their halter chains. Long lines of pregnant horses stand, chained and strapped into cramped concrete and steel pens like rows of four-legged galley slaves. They shuffle uncomfortably from hoof to hoof. A forlorn look fills their eyes as they stare. Their coats are dull, their ears droopy - tell-tale signs of a horse's misery. Many get sore, swollen legs or become crippled from standing, months on end, in their tiny concrete stalls. The mares are kept constantly thirsty. They are denied water so that their urine becomes thick." Linda Page, N.D. Ph.D

    CANDIDA
    Conquering Yeast Infections: The Non-Drug Solution

    People may have symptoms that appear totally unrelated to the candida such as irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, vaginal yeast infections, headaches with sinus involvement, histamine allergic reactions and thrush white tongue, to name a few. Remember, the mouth is the beginning of the GI tract and culinary sugars begin their work immediately on the teeth, gums and tissues through interaction with fungi. Sugar activates candida metabolism and some of its by-products are neurotoxins such as formaldehyde, alcohol and acetlyaldehyde. One's nervous system can become deranged during candida due to specific neurotoxins. Autism is one example of this.


    What Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually, as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, What Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated - pictures from the CDC about the side effects of vaccinescongressional testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.

    Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.

    More pictures of vaccine damage available to view at the CDC website
    In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy, and Science News, a magazine read by both health care This child died as a result of vaccines - pictures from the CDC about the side effects of vaccinesprofessionals and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and chronic diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues. 

    This child died as a result of vaccines (CDC website)

    Congressman is calling for criminal penalties for any government agency that knew about the dangers of thimerosal in vaccines and did nothing to protect American children. Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana) during Congressional Hearing: "You mean to tell me that since 1929, we've been using Thimerosal, and the only  test that you know of is from 1929, and every one of those people had mennigitis, and they all died?" For nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what they knew and when they knew it. (Thimerosal contains a related mercury compound called ethyl mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal that can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions.)

    Raising Public Awareness
    Most modern maladies are caused by prolonged exposure to a combination of negative lifestyles and toxic environmental factors, including junk food and malnutrition, pesticides, antibiotics, microwaves, chemical pollution of food, water and air, lack of exercise and chronic stress. These factors are further aggravated by the failure of modern medicine to recognize them as agents of dis-"ease" and death and the consequent failure to take preventative measures against them. more
