Wise Choices, Healthy Bodies: Diet for the Prevention of Women's Diseases
 By Sally Fallon and Mary G Enig, PhD

As the incidence of women's diseases has increased, so have the number of books on the subject. Peruse the shelves of any bookstore and you will find dozens of works on women's health. Some merely present allopathic treatments for women's diseases. Others describe alternative therapies—like exercise, yoga, acupuncture, aromatherapy, art therapy, biofeedback, positive thinking, meditation, light therapy, massage, herbs, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, vitamins and Chinese medicine. All of these therapies have their place and may be helpful, but only when practiced in conjunction with a diet that supports the female reproductive system. Unfortunately, the dietary advice dished out in the various books on women's diseases is appalling—simplistic, fatuous and dangerous—consisting mostly of prescripts to consume lots of soy foods, whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables with warnings against animal foods, particularly dairy fats and red meats. more
 

Wouldn't it be nice to understand how we really become ill? Or why some ailments seem to crop up time and again? Do you ever experience a cold that comes out of no where and lasts for weeks, and nobody else catches it from you, and it happened about the time you lost your best friend or were really sad? And how can we take the dread out of "that" time of the month for women? Do we have to suffer from migraine headaches, PMS, cramps, depression, or the embarrassment of unexpected panic and anxiety attacks? Could hot flashes really be stopped dead in their tracks? How do we become addicted? What about our internal Time Clock, what could you accomplish if you knew the best time to eat a good breakfast, or lunch, or go for a jog to boost your energy level? What if men could help themselves with prostate or impotency related problems? Why can a neck massage be so helpful to a man with impotency problems? What if the answers to those and many other health problems lay just below your fingertips ..... and through the use of your own two hands and simple massage, you could live a life that was healthier, with less emotional up and downs and drama?

The annual medical check-up - enshrined for decades as a cornerstone of preventative care - is a waste of time and money, doctors now admit. Around 44 million adults in America had a routine medical check-up between 2002 and 2004, and a range of unnecessary tests - costing $350m a year - were ordered. These included tests on blood count, serum electrolytes, and urine, plus a check on heart health. But, says Dr. Ateev Mehrotra from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre, these tests shouldn't be carried out routinely. Instead, they should be ordered only if the doctor has a good reason to do so. General preventative advice is often given either during other surgery visits or from other sources. The only regular check-ups worth preserving are mammogram and cervical smear tests, he says. (Source: Archives of Internal Medicine, 2007; 167: 1876-83)

Herbal and nutritional treatment for Cystitis 
Cystitis is an infection of the bladder, urethritis is an infection of the urethra, and pyelonephritis is a kidney infection. Escherichia Coli causes the majority of urinary tract infections, bacteria found in the intestines. Because of the close proximity of the anus to the vagina, women seem to be more susceptible to the spread of this bacterium. Bladder infections are relatively common in women, and for men may be a sign of a more serious condition. Symptoms of cystitis include frequency, dysuria, cloudy or bloody urine, with pain and tenderness in the lower abdomen. Many plants have a local reputation as being effective in the treatment of cystitis. Often their efficacy will vary from fresh to dried samples, time of year they were picked, etc.etc.. In Wales, freshly picked Yarrow, preferable from sea cliffs, had a dramatic effect. more

A client with interstitial cystitis, (IC is a rare chronic pelvic pain disorder resulting in recurring discomfort or pain in the bladder and the surrounding pelvic region-there's no known medical cause or cure.), recently e-mailed me: "I have been noticing more and more improvement since taking the Marine Phytoplankton. I have started working out again... after 2 years! (I used to work out consistently for years and hike and all sorts of active things. I even went on some hikes recently and have another scheduled for this week. I also noticed that I have limited soreness after. I have been sleeping much better too. I had to skip taking this for 5 days (I was on a trip) and today I start back up. My body is really wanting it. Thanks so much for turning me on to this product... I believe it is really supporting my body better than any other thing that I have tried. It feels like my body can absorb it!" Lynne

Use of transfer factor for the treatment of recurrent non-bacterial female cystitis (NBRC)
A preliminary report  -  Results of conventional treatment of female non-bacterial recurrent cystitis (NBRC) are discouraging. Twenty nine women suffering of NBRC, and in whom previous treatment with antibiotics and non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs was unsuccessful, underwent oral transfer factor (TF) therapy. TF specific to Candida and/or to HSV was administered bi-weekly for the first 2 weeks, and then once a week for the following 6 months. No side effects were observed during treatment. The total observation period of our cohort was 24379 days with 353 episodes of cystitis recorded and a cumulative relapse index (RI) of 43. The observation period during and after treatment was 13920 days with 108 relapses and a cumulative RI of 23 (P  0.0001). It, thus, seems that specific TF may be capable of controlling NBRC and alleviate the symptoms

Women and Thyroid Deficiency
by Julian Whitaker M.D.

Are you always tired? Do you suffer from depression? Have you been gaining weight? Losing hair? Getting sick more often than usual? Are your hands and feet always cold? You may be one of the seven million-plus American women with a thyroid problem. 

By far the most common thyroid disorder is an underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism, which causes the symptoms above as well as others. Hypothyroidism has numerous effects on a woman's health -- it has been linked to osteoporosis, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and even lung cancer. And if a woman with low thyroid function becomes pregnant, the health of her child is affected as well.

Thyroid disorder and Fluoride Poisoning
It is only in the last two decades during which endocrinology has progressed so rapidly, that now over 150 symptoms and associations can be identified in hypothyroidism. Almost all (!) correlate with known symptoms of fluoride poisoning. Most of the double-blind test results of fluoride poisoning found in Moolenburgh's study on water containing 1ppm of fluoride - which led to the ban of fluoridation in Holland - are now recognized symptoms of hypothyroidism: fatigue, depression, excess weight, infertility, miscarriage, severe menopause, dry skin, constipation, hair loss.

Dr Barry Durrant-Peatfield  - "It has been known since the latter part of the 19th century that certain communities, notably in Argentina, India and Turkey were chronically ill, with premature ageing, arthritis, mental retardation, and infertility; and high levels of natural fluorides in the water were responsible. Not only was it clear that the fluoride was having a general effect on the health of the community, but in the early 1920s Goldemberg, working in Argentina showed that fluoride was displacing iodine; thus compounding the damage and rendering the community also hypothyroid from iodine deficiency."  The Effects Of Fluoride On The Thyroid Gland

Soy Products and Thyroid Disease
Scientists have known for years that the isoflavones in soy products can depress thyroid function and cause goiters in otherwise healthy children and adults. Researchers at Cornell University Medical College said that children who got soy formula were more likely to develop thyroid disease and that twice as many diabetic children had received soy formula in infancy as compared to non-diabetic children. In fact, in other countries such as Switzerland, England, Australia and New Zealand, public health officials recommend highly restricted medically monitored use of soy for babies and for pregnant women. Soy formula is a lifesaver for the 3 to 4 percent of babies allergic to cows milk, but it is so widely advertised that it is sold to 25% of the entire formula market. "By far the worst calls are from women whose children have been fed soy formula.  They tell me heartbreaking stories about baby girls who show signs of early maturation, such as underarm  odour, breast development, body hair and even menstruation as early as two, three and four years of age!  In baby boys, 12 months of soy feeding can lead to gross effects by the age of 11 or 12.  Breasts can appear and testicles do not develop."Elaine Hollingsworth,  author of Take Control of Your Health and Escape the Sickness Industry.

Dr. Williams' Hypothyroid self-test - Here's how you do it:

1. Place an oral thermometer by your bed. Make sure to shake it down to at least 96 degrees. 
2. When you wake up the next morning, immediately place the thermometer in your armpit and leave it there for 10 minutes before getting out of bed. Just relax and remain still during the test. (Note: Men and postmenopausal women can do the test any time. Women in their menstrual years get the most accurate readings on the second or third day after menstrual flow starts). 
3. Record the temperature. 

A reading of anywhere between 97.2 and 98.2 degrees is considered normal; temperatures below 97.2 generally indicate you have a thyroid imbalance 

Thyroid disorder
Two main thyroid disorders: Hyperthyroid and Hypothyroid. The thyroid hormones regulate (1) metabolism, (2) growth and developement,(3) the activity of the nervous system. An under production of these hormones is a hypothyroid condition, while an overproduction creates a hyperthyroid condition. Two main thyroid disorders:

Hypothyroidism and Marine Phytoplankton: a Testimonial  (under-production of thyroid hormone)
I'm "only" 48 years old, and have been struggling with hypothyroidism for years now. My doctor has gradually increased my dosage over the years to where I have now been at a whopping .212 mcg/day. I have been using Marine Phytoplankton since August 2005 and have noticed significant and amazing improvements in so many areas of my life (including people who literally didn't recognize me from 6 months ago)... but the most measurable is this: Last week I started feeling jittery and anxious, and I suddenly realized that's how I felt whenever I was on too much thyroid medicine. I made an appointment with my doctor for a blood test to check the levels. When I got there, the nurse told me I was early and I thought she meant I got the appointment time wrong. Then she told me I was 3 months early; the doctor didn't "need" to have my levels tested for another 3 months. I told her I had been on a nutritional supplement that has been known to normalize thyroid levels, and since I'd been feeling jittery, I felt I should have it checked. I could tell she thought I was nuts, but who cares? When the results came in, the nurse said "Mary, we got the results back on your thyroid test, and the doctor wants you to stop taking the nutritional supplement." I'll confess that years of indoctrination created an initial split-second reaction of "Oh, no! It's not good for me!" Then logic, reason and common sense immediately took control and I asked her for more details. She said that my thyroid number was low, indicating I'm overmedicated, and that whatever supplement I was taking was to blame (not her exact words, but the inference was there). I explained that it was not just any old supplement for thyroid, but a complete nutritional supplement... and that I'd hoped for the results I'd just gotten! I then told her, laughingly, to tell the doctor "No, you'll have to shoot me first before I'll go off of it!" and, instead, could he reduce my dosage. She called me later and said the doctor had lowered my dose from .212 mcg to .100 mcg/day! That's less than half of what I've been taking! " 

Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. These nutrients improve mental function, and memory. They reduce depression, harmful effects of stress, and mood swings. Profound Life-Giving Properties of Marine Phytoplankton

Herbal Extract from the Rain Forest: Sumacazon  -   Our endocrine system includes our adrenals, thyroid, hypothalamus, gonads (men), ovaries (women). This system is largely responsible for producing the hormones we need. As we age many of our body's systems may become less efficient than they were when we were younger. The remarkable properties of the four herbs in this product have long been revered by the people of Brazil and Peru. They include: Suma-known as Brazilian Ginseng, it is classified as an adaptogen for facilitating hormonal balance and helping the body adjust to stress*. It contains plant sterols, minerals, electrolytes and many amino acids, the essential building blocks of the body. Maca-commonly referred to as Peruvian Ginseng, grows high in the Andes in mineral rich soil. Studies done by the Peruvian Government showed animals with Maca in their diet maintained better health and vitality and had more offspring than animals not eating Maca.  It is traditionally used to facilitate energy, mental clarity, libido and muscle tone. Muira Puama-is a Brazilian shrub that has historically been used as a tonic for the nervous system and to nutritionally support organs involved in healthy sexual function. Dr. Jacques Waynberg has conducted studies at the French Institute of Sexology. more

Hyperthyroids and Grave's Disase (overproduction of thyroid hormone)

"In 1999, I was given a drug for hot flashes. In 2000, I was told my uterus was huge and I had a seven pound cancerous tumor, that I believe I got it from the drug because I was given too much estrogen from the drug. I had an immune system breakdown from the cancer and a few months latter I got Grave's disease (autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland that results in the overproduction of thyroid hormone. This causes such symptoms as nervousness, heat intolerance, heart palpitations) and eye disease along with the Graves disease. My eyes were so protruded I had double vision and I was very sick, eating constantly and having to stay close to a bathroom. I could not work for three years. I changed my diet and ate only organic food and no coffee. Three months ago a friend told me about Goji  juice and I began to drink the juice . My eyes have gone down and my thyroid condition has improved.  My t3 and t4 cell count is normal. I feel a normal amount of energy, more natural and overall, feel great." Jerre J., Grand Junction, Colorado

"Just over two years ago, my husband's plight with rheumatoid arthritis finally got the best of him. Having to go out of work on disability and administering several pain medications, became a common factor in his life. The following year, I was diagnosed with Grave's disease (Hyperactive Thyroid). It was then I became just like my husband; "a pharmaceutical guinea pig". I ordered our Goji  juice which came in the mail last Wednesday evening. We both drank 2oz. each before going to bed. The next morning...WOW...a revelation! My husband had slept all night for the first time in over two years and the irritability that came with my hyperactivity, somehow was not there! By Sunday, my chronic toe fungus and crinkled finger nails and tips had improved! My husband can raise both arms over his head, touch his toes, and exhibit more intimate morale...I like that one! In fact, I pulled in the driveway after work this afternoon and he was riding a bicycle with my children! I am so ecstatic!...not only for my husband but also for myself and our children who love it! How often do children ask for something healthy?"  Iris G. E., Hollister, North Carolina 
 

1  -  Hypothyroid / Hypothyroidism / Under Active Thyroid: Hypothyroidism is an under production of thyroid hormone. The two hormones produced by the thyroid controls the body’s temperature, ability to burn calories, and energy usage.  It is estimated that hypothyroidism affects over 13 million people in the USA and even more worldwide, 90% of which are women. One in eight women may develop a thyroid condition at some time in their life usually between the ages of 30 and 50. Under production of thyroid hormoneSymptoms: Fatigue, loss of appetite, overweight, painful PMS, muscle weakness, dry and scaly skin, yellow orange coloration in the skin, particularly palms, yellow bumps on the eyelids, hair loss, recurrent infections, constipation, slow speech, myxedema (drooping and swollen eyes), depression. Most frequent symptoms are: intolellerance to cold and fatigue., A conditon called Hashimoto's disease (allergy to thyroid hormone). 

2  -  Hyperthyroid  occurs when tyroid gland produces too much hormone.Speeds up body processes (esp. digestion). Thyroid functions influence pituitary, parathyroid, and sex glands. All may be affected., Results: overactive metabolic state, malabsorbtion of food, increased fat breakdown and cholesterol excretion, increased use of glucose, over stimulation of protein synthesis., Symptoms: Nervousness, irritability, increased perspiration, insomnia and fatigue, weakness, hair loss, seperation of the nails, hand tremors, intolerance of heat, rapid heartbeat, and sometimes protuding eyeballs., The condition is sometimes called thyrotoxicosis, or Grave's disease. 
 

Thyroid Power by Richard Shames MD and Karilee Shames RN, PhD

The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center estimates that there are over 13 million more Americans who have undiagnosed thyroid problems that are causing many of their uncomfortable symptoms (fatigue, depression, excess weight, infertility, miscarriage, severe menopause, dry skin, constipation, hair loss).  Dr. Richard Shames, a Harvard and University of Pennsylvania graduate who served at the NIH, Dr. R. Shames believes that we are witnessing an autoimmune low-thyroid epidemic. Karilee Shames, RN, PhD, Assistant Professor of Nursing, points out that a major environmental trigger of low thyroid is likely to be the fluoride added to municipal water supplies. Scientists believe that fluoride can depress thyroid functions with levels as low as 2. 5 mg/ day more on fluoride poisoning

SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH LOW THYROID

• Unusual weight gain (or sometimes loss)
• Low body temperature, feeling cold
• Digestive and elimination problems
• Tiredness, weakness
• Brain fog
• Slow pulse, low blood pressure
• High cholesterol levels
• Hair/skin/nail dryness, brittleness
• Low, husky voice
• Muscle and joint aches and pains
• Menstrual Changes
• Fertility Problems
• Mood swings, depression, anxiety
• Anti-depressant has no effect
• Low sex drive
• Vision/eye problems
• Neck and throat complaints
• Hearing problems/tinnitus
• Recurring infections/low resistance
• Onset of allergies
• Sleep apnea and snoring
• Breathing difficulties/asthma-like feelings

Dr Bill Miller - "Why have middle aged women’s stroke rate increased three times in recent years? From 1999 to 2004 nearly 2% of women aged 35 to 54 suffered from a stroke compared to the prior Federal health Surveys from 1994 to 1998 in which less that 1% of women had the same condition.. No risk factors such as smoking, heart disease or diabetes had changed between surveys. What has changed is women’s waistlines! They are two inches bigger. Their body mass index (BMI) rose from 27 to 29. Dr Miller says your shoulders should be 10 inches wider than your waistline. Drink the Holy Tea and dump the toxins. Eat nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables to prevent stoke. And exercise with good hydration.

The Ultimate Rape: What Every Woman Should Know about Hysterectomies and Ovarian Removal -Elizabeth L. Plourde, CLS, MA

 
The product of 12 years of extensive research, combined with personal experiences, this book exposes the detrimental short and long-term consequences that can arise from hysterectomies and prophylactic ovarian removal. Its primary objective is to present, in an easy-to-understand format, the biochemical and resultant physical changes that occur when women lose their reproductive organs. This information is vital for women to know, whether or not they have lost their reproductive organs, or when facing the decision of surgery. This book clearly demonstrates how the uterus and ovaries produce essential hormones and chemicals throughout a woman's life: chemicals which are critical for the healthy maintenance of all systems within the body. The medical documentation it provides irrefutably proves the slow, silent disruption that occurs when women lose their naturally protective hormones, and dramatically illustrates why we need to question if prophylactic ovarian removal, and most hysterectomies should continue to be accepted "standard medical practices."

AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE IN WOMEN 

The term "autoimmune disease" refers to a varied group of more than 80 serious, chronic illnesses that involve almost every human organ system. It includes diseases of the nervous, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems as well as skin and other connective tissues, eyes blood, and blood vessel. In all of these diseases, the underlying problem is similar--the body's immune system becomes misdirected, attacking the very organs it was designed to protect. 

Autoimmune diseases -- including chronic fatigue syndrome, vasculitis, juvenile diabetes, alopecia, Graves' disease, Sj?gren's syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis -- are among the hottest topics in the medical community. Although these diseases express themselves in different ways, in all of them, the body's immune system begins to attack normally functioning, healthy cells. Despite the recent surge in interest and research, these fascinating diseases are highly mysterious, frequently misdiagnosed, and controversial in cause and treatment. They are often interconnected in ways that are both misunderstood and life-threatening. And one of the biggest puzzles is why 80 percent of autoimmune disease sufferers are women.

For reasons we do not understand, about 75 percent of autoimmune diseases occur in women, most frequently during the childbearing years.  Hormones are thought to play a role, because some autoimmune illnesses occur more frequently after menopause, others suddenly improve during pregnancy, with flare-ups occurring after delivery, while still others will get worse during pregnancy. 

Autoimmune diseases remain among the most poorly understood and poorly recognized of any category of illnesses. Individual diseases range from the benign to the severe. Symptoms vary widely, notably from one illness to another, but even within the same disease. And because the diseases affect multiple body systems, their symptoms are often misleading, which hinders accurate diagnosis. To help women live longer, healthier lives, a better understanding of these diseases is needed, as well as providing early diagnosis and treatment.

Richard Bennett, PhD - "The immunity provided by transfer factors is long lived and can help all ages who are suffering from a variety of ailments or those who want to stay well. The unfolding events surrounding Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, (SARS) is yet another painful reminder that we live in a crowded world where continents are only a plane ride away. The SARS epidemic is only one of an ongoing series of new emerging diseases.

Cellulite: Natural Solutions

Cellulite is the lumpy substance resembling cottage cheese that is commonly found on the thighs, stomach, and butt. Cellulite is actually a fancy name for collections of fat that push against the connective tissue beneath a person's skin, which causes the surface of the skin to dimple or pucker and look lumpy. You can check to see if you have cellulite by pinching the skin around your upper thigh. If it looks a bit lumpy, you probably have it. And if you do have cellulite, you're definitely not alone: Most girls and women - and some men - have cellulite. Click here to watch the video

Homeopathy for Women's Health

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.

During the teen years homeopathy can help with the hormonal changes of puberty and the acne that often appears at this time, but primarily it can assist with the emotional upheavals, which frequently occur as little girls make the transition to womanhood.

Later in life when a woman gets pregnant, or has a hard time conceiving (homeopathy can help with problems of infertility), it can assist with difficulties frequently encountered, such as morning sickness and depression. By treating the mother during pregnancy and making her as healthy as she can be, we can insure that the baby will be born healthy and free of inherited diseases. By treating throughout pregnancy, we also assist the mother to go through childbirth safely and joyfully.

The homeopathic healing art is beneficial in helping women overcome the effects of hormonal shocks to the system, which can occur after a difficult birth, abortion, hysterectomy, and the use of birth control pills. Sepia, a remedy made from the inky juice of the Cuttlefish is a commonly prescribed remedy for women who have lost their spunk after a hormonal shock. Just as the Cuttlefish spreads an inky cloud around itself, so the woman needing Sepia envelops herself in a cloud of gloom. She feels emotionally flat, and has an inability to express love or display affection to her husband and children. She loses her sex drive and wants to be left alone, feeling too tired to cope with housework, and from weakness resents any demands on her time and energies.

This therapeutic science is extremely beneficial to women during menopause. Remedies such as Lachesis muta are able to help women pass through this transition with relative ease. As the remedies initiate a healing process symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, lack of energy, weepiness, and anxiety begin to gradually disappear in such a subtle fashion that the person is unaware of how they passed.

Homeopathy for Women's Health
Homeopathy can be used to treat many common physical and emotional symptoms associated with menstrual cycles, hormone imbalances, and pre-menstrual syndrome. Because of its emphasis on treating the whole patient on a physical, mental, and emotional level, it is ideally suited for treating the wide range of possible symptoms associated with the menstrual cycle. Because homeopathic remedies work by stimulating the body's healing system to regain a sense of balance, problems involving hormonal imbalances respond well to homeopathic treatment.
 

Homeopathy Today is a great read every month! Homeopathic remedies may be bought over the counter in all countries, and are being used to treat both human beings and animals. If you're interested in homeopathy, this is one magazine to get. Each month it features articles and information from todays leading homeopaths.

I wait for mine to arrive each month ? then read it cover-to-cover! Highly recommended for laypeople, students, and professionals alike. 

When treating a patient for PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome), the homeopathic practitioner will select the most appropriate remedy that covers the range of symptoms experienced. These may include fluid retention, breast tenderness, headaches, irritability, weepiness, mood swings.

Homeopathic treatment is also effective in treating problems associated with menstruation - heavy bleeding, prolonged periods, painful periods, absent periods, etc. It is quite common for women who have experienced debilitating menstrual cramps for many years to have pain-free menstrual cycles after treatment.

Homeopathy is commonly used to treat uterine fibroids, and homeopathic treatment may prevent the need for a hysterectomy.

Symptoms of menopause also respond to homeopathy - hot flushes, insomnia, mood swings. See the section on Homeopathy during menopause for more information.

Homeopathy can also be used to treat infertility conditions. Homeopathy can also help couples conceive even when there is no known medical reason for the infertility.

The range of conditions that may be treated with homeopathy is very wide, and includes cystitis, migraines, fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, arthritis, anxiety, depression, insomnia, eczema, hayfever, bladder infections, gallstones or kidney stones, respiratory ailments, etc.

In addition, homeopathic treatment is safe and effective during pregnancy. It can help with symptoms of morning sickness, heartburn, constipation, and hemorrhoids.

Increasing numbers of women are making use of homeopathy during labour and childbirth, and homeopathic treatment can be very helpful after delivery, or during breast-feeding.   more

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.

About the Author of this website
I can't remember a time in my life, prior to 1982, when I wasn't struggling with failing health. I was overweight (185 lbs), suffered from chronic fatigue and my health was steadily going down the drain. For years I had been a "junkie"--addicted to prescription and over the counter drugs. I used corticosteroids for eczema/psoriasis, antibiotics for recurring throat and breast infections. I also used nasal decongestions for chronic sinus congestion, and other drugs for chronic backaches and other health problems. Unfortunately, instead of generating a cure, the medications (including a course of nine months of antibiotics) merely temporarily suppressed my symptoms, weakened my immune system, and in the long run made me sicker. (side effects of corticosteroids)

In 1982 my doctor told me that I had to have a mastectomy because my body was no longer responding to medication. But I was determined to not let them cut off my breast. I had had enough of orthodox medicine; I knew I had to change direction to improve my overall health and vitality. Learn how I overcame a lifetime of chronic diseases and addiction to prescription drugs, and how I lost 60 lbs in 3 months effortlessly. Shirley

Herbal and Nutritional Programs for Women's Health
Herbal and nutritional supplements have been traditionally used in treating and enhancing women's health for a long time. Premenstrual syndrome, menopause, and other difficulties can respond favorably to natural medicine. 
 

Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine by Tori Hudson, Christiane Northrup 
At least one-third of Americans use alternative medicines to heal and maintain health--75% of those consumers are women. Today, women are demanding their doctors have a willingness to explore and combine complementary and conventional medical practices in their approach to female health. The result is a bridge between the two schools of thought commonly known as integrated medicine which requires women to become proactive in their role as patient and provides a safe, effective approach to maintaining and healing their bodies.

Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine covers in depth the whole range of women's health concerns including menstrual difficulties, menopause, endometriosis, osteoporosis and others and explains how integrated medicine can be used to treat these conditions.

Disease is a symptom of one or more body systems in distress. When you nourish and balance the systems, you give your body what it requires to resist, repair and overcome disease, and to achieve optimal health. As living foods, these herbal remedies have the ability to support good blood chemistry, balance energetic frequencies in the body, help cleanse and detoxify, and more. Unlike most nutritional supplements on the market today, the botanicals in Amazon Herb formulas have not been altered or fractioned. They have not been extracted from their original composition. These herbs are never fumigated, irradiated, genetically engineered or exposed to pesticides and industrial poisons. The integrity and life force of these plant is maintained. They are living foods that work, just as nature intended! more

The remarkable properties of the four herbs in this product have long been revered by the people of Brazil and Peru. They include: Suma-known as Brazilian Ginseng, it is classified as an adaptogen for facilitating hormonal balance and helping the body adjust to stress*. It contains plant sterols, minerals, electrolytes and many amino acids, the essential building blocks of the body. Maca-commonly referred to as Peruvian Ginseng, grows high in the Andes in mineral rich soil. Studies done by the Peruvian Government showed animals with Maca in their diet maintained better health and vitality and had more offspring than animals not eating Maca.  It is traditionally used to facilitate energy, mental clarity, libido and muscle tone.

Alternative Treatments for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Guide to natural treatments for Fibromyalgia and other immune system disorders
Fibromyalgia is a painful disorder for which mainstream medicine has no solution other than heavy, and often ineffective, use of painkillers. Perhaps you have been told by a well-meaning but uniformed doctor that you will "just have to learn to live with it."   Well guess what... you do have options.  The good news is, your symptoms can be diminished or reduced by using natural, nutritional, herbal and homeopathic products that address these symptoms.

Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a disease affecting women in their reproductive years. The tissue that lines the inside of the uterus and builds up and sheds each month in the menstrual cycle is called Endometrium tissue. In endometriosis, the endometrium tissue is found growing and sheding blood outside the uterus, in other areas of the body. This misplaced tissue develops into growths or lesions which respond to the menstrual cycle in the same way that the tissue of the uterine lining does.

Stress is a significant component of many recurrent and chronic women's health problems, including fibroids and endometriosis. In her article Stress Reduction for Relief of Fibroids and Endometriosis, Susan Lark, MD explains how in women with fibroids and endometriosis, strss may negatively affect hormonal balance and lead to growth in the size of fibroid tumors. Dr. Lark offers a program of stress reducing techniques for women suffering from these conditions.

Cysts / Fybroids
When symptoms of bloating, pressure, cramps or pains occur in the pelvic area, with or without irregular periods or bleeding, periods with blood dots, or clots, or low fever, tiredness, for women, it may due to the growth of cysts or fibroids. About 40% of women between 20 to 50 years of age have experienced cysts/fibroids symptoms in their life time. The sure diagnosis is to check with a doctor, and the only 100% sure cure for cysts/fibroids problem is a hysterectomy surgery. Medications are also used to relieve symptoms or to shrink these benign tumors, some with side effects not acceptable to many women. However, when no symptoms are present, one could live with cysts/fibroids for life without any problem, because most likely, these tumors are benign and cause no real danger.

Healthy, Beautiful Skin Naturally 
Basic beauty begins with the glow of good health, which shines from within. The skin often mirrors the health of the whole body. A radiant clear complexion begins with proper nutrition, efficient digestion and assimilation of nutrients by the body and regular elimination. Skin problems are a reflection of internal health and are often a reflection of overall body and blood toxicity and/or stomach problems. Almost anything that cleanses the blood or intestines will also show a result on the skin. Skin problems can also be as a result of allergies, hormone imbalances, nutrition or dehydration.

Calcium and Strong Bones - Protecting Your Bones

"Study show that women who got the most calcium from dairy products actually broke 
more bones than women who rarely drank milk" 

The dairy industry spends several billion dollars each year trying to convince you that you can't live without your two glasses of pasteurized, homogenized milk each day.

The bone-thinning condition called osteoporosis can lead to small and not-so-small fractures. Although many people think of calcium in the diet as good protection for their bones, this is not at all the whole story. In fact, in a 12-year Harvard study of 78,000 women, those who got the most calcium from dairy products actually broke more bones than women who rarely drank milk. Similarly, a 1994 study of elderly men and women in Sydney, Australia, showed that higher dairy product consumption was associated with increased fracture risk. Those with the highest dairy product consumption had approximately double the risk of hip fracture compared to those with the lowest consumption. To protect your bones you do need calcium in your diet, but you also need to keep calcium in your bones. more

Weight Loss: natural and healthy solutions
Some causes of obesity and or sudden weight gain may include: disturbance in thyroid function; glandular malfunctions; diabetes; hypoglycemia; hyperinsulinemia; emotional tension or stress; anxiety; depression; allergies.  You may have been on many diets and you may have even spent hundreds of dollars trying to lose weight with pills, powders, herbs, high protein diets, low-fat and no-fat diets, packaged foods, weight loss clinics, and the list goes on and on. 

Twenty four years ago, when I was 30, I weighted 185 pounds, I suffered from chronic fatigue and I was sick most of the time with one thing or another. I was also a victim of the never-ending flow of propaganda from the medical establishment (which I think of as the "disease" establishment because they focus on disease rather than on prevention and wellness) who wants to maintain a monopoly on the word "cure" and who wants us to believe that we have no control over our own health and that our only hope to get "well" is with drugs, surgery and radiation. When I turned to holistic health therapy, I lost 60 pounds in 3 months effortlessly. (and never had to struggle again to keep my weight down) and my energy level and stamina improved dramatically. I was able to function better overall. I became calmer, centered and focused, and generally I felt happier and became much healthier. Read the story of my journey back into health

Thyroid Health: A Key to Weight Loss
Excerpt from Dr. Mercola's article

The right kind of oils can support thyroid health. However, certain dietary oils can negatively affect thyroid health. We cook with them almost every day and they are plentiful in commercially prepared foods. Expeller-pressed or solvent-extracted oils only became a major part of the American diet in the last century. It is possible they are among the worst offenders when it comes to the thyroid. They are known as vegetable oils or polyunsaturated oils. The most common source of these oils used in commercially prepared foods is the soybean.

Large-scale cultivation of soybeans in the United States began after World War II and quickly increased to 140 billion pounds per year. Most of the crops are produced for animal feed and soy oil for hydrogenated fats such as margarine and shortening. Today, it is nearly impossible to eat at restaurants or buy packaged foods that don’t have soy oil in the ingredients. Often labels simply state “vegetable oil.”

Ray Peat Ph.D., a physiologist who has worked with progesterone and related hormones since 1968, says that the sudden surge of polyunsaturated oils into the food chain post World War II has caused many changes in hormones. He writes: click here to learn more

Women and Thyroid Deficiency 

The Role of Alkaline Food and Water on Health and Weight Loss
Body Acidity, the Cause of Many Chronic Diseases

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. Water is a God-given crucial nutrient for the body. But we have been hoodwinked into accepting a product that is of progressively more inferior composition. It is well known that the average city water today contains over 500 chemicals that do not belong in it. Part of this is due to the fact that most delivery systems in the U.S. include cement, asbestos pipes, cast iron, PVC (porous to certain solvents, herbicides and pesticides) and that lead, cadmium and other toxic metals leach out of valves and couplings of pipes between a water treatment plant and a faucet in the home. learn more

Matthew Silver, MD  - "An associate in her early fifties who had suffered for many years from the toxic effects of chlorine poisoning from inhaling vapors from an over-chlorinated swimming pool. This had resulted in many severe health challenges including extreme chronic fatigue and breathing difficulty that kept her housebound and dependent on oxyn. Even minimal exertion led to extreme shortness of breath. After just three days of drinking glyconutrients, she reported that all of her symptoms improved dramatically and that she was able to leave her house without oxygen and work in her garden, which she had not been able to do in years."  The sugars found on all Glyconutrients (saccharides) also address the workings of the brain and nervous system – from memory and sleep to anxiety and depression.

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.
"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

Breast Cancer "Misconceptions and illusions prevail in the management of breast cancer. Despite evidence that mastectomy, radiation following lumpectomy, axillary node dissection, or intensive follow-up surveillance have little impact on survival, these practices are adhered to tenaciously. The extent to which current treatment for breast cancer succeeds in prolonging life remains open to question. The imperative for doctors to do something sometimes contradicts their pledge to do no harm."

"Mammograms increase the risk for developing breast cancer and raise the risk of spreading or metastasizing an existing growth," says Dr. Charles B. Simone, a former clinical associate in immunology and pharmacology at the National Cancer Institute.

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.

Herbal treatment for Water Retention Edema 
(Excessive accumulation of fluid in body tissues and cavities.)

Edema (also known as dropsy or fluid retention) is swelling caused by the accumulation of abnormally large amounts of fluid in the spaces between the body's cells. It is a symptom rather than a disease or disorder. Widespread long-term edema can indicate a serious underlying disorder. Such abnormal accumulation of fluid in spaces between cells of body tissues, may be associated with liver or kidney disturbance, pregnancy, pre-menstrual syndrome and heart failure. Never address water retention without treating its causal factors. 

Edema / Dropsy / Feet Swollen Edema, also known as dropsy. It is the accumulation of fluid in the body. It may affect all parts of the body although it commonly occurs as swelling in the feet and ankles. The bloating and swelling causes muscle aches and pains. Edema may be caused by allergies or disorders of the kidney, bladder, heart, or liver. Learn about natural remedies for edema.

The Ugly Side of Cosmetics

Make-up and body care products have been linked to allergic reactions, birth defects, and even cancer. It is a medically recognised fact that our body absorbs significant amounts of what we put on our skin. With Certified Organic food rapidly becoming the nutrition of choice by the health conscious amongst us, why would you accept any less for your skin?.

Make-up and body care products contain ingredients suspected of causing cancer; potential neuro-, liver-, and immunotoxins; and suspected hormone disruptors that could cause birth defects in any children she might bear in the future. Many consumers may be surprised to learn that the US federal government doesn’t require health studies or pre-market testing on personal care products. Manufacturers are free to put just about anything they want into cosmetics—a far-reaching category used by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to include everything from make-up and deodorant to lotions and mouthwashes. learn more

Hair Loss / Baldness / Alopecia 

From the American Institute of Preventive Medicine:
"Most men and women experience hair loss as they get older; indeed, most men have some degree of baldness by age 60. This is quite normal and affects some persons more than others, especially if baldness runs in the family. Sudden or abnormal hair loss could, however, result from: 

Taking certain medications (like some used in treating cancer, circulatory disorders, ulcers or arthritis) 

Following a crash diet 

Hormonal changes such as with menopause 

A prolonged or serious illness 

Some medical conditions lead to hair loss such as Hypothyroidism and ringworm (the latter is a fungal infection that affects the scalp and/or the hairs themselves)

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, congressional testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.

Nicholas Regush ABCNEWS.com

This child (below) died as a result of vaccines (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 professionals and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and chronic diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues.

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.)
