Winter Warning: Start Thinking About Vitamin D
by wojcik11
About Me View My Posts
Transitioning into the winter months equates to less sun exposure and significantly lower levels of Vitamin D systemically. Vitamin D deficiency was once thought to be fairly rare and usually associated with a condition known as rickets, but multiple research studies are now revealing that many of us are indeed Vitamin D deficient without knowing it and it can impact various aspects of our health.... 11/11/2008 8:36:52 AM

Odd menopause research
by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
We know what causes menopause and we know that menopause results in multiple hormonal deficiencies because the ovaries make multiple hormones. Lose the ovaries and you lose the hormones. We also know that replacing only estrogen leads to all kinds of problems and is not a good idea. We know that only replacing estrogen and progesterone is also not a good long term solution and also leads to health... 11/9/2008 9:19:38 PM

Breast Cancer -- Real Prevention
by Total Health Breakthroughs
About Me View My Posts
October was Breast Cancer Prevention month, and as always, fund raising and education initiatives were everywhere. There are many advances in our understanding of how breast cancer develops, yet out of all the articles I saw in the mainstream media, none of them explained the most important factors influencing breast health. Most breast cancer is the type that is called hormone sensitive. That means... 11/6/2008 8:00:00 AM

Restoring sexual response after menopause is possible
by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
Like many of you, when I was pre-menopausal I thought sex after menopause would be a little less intense but something that wouldn't bother me. My doctor never said anything and I never heard ladies talking about how bad sex was after menopause, so I really wasn't concerned. I had heard women say, "I am done with that" but I really didn't know what they meant. After all, why would anyone give up sex... 11/4/2008 12:01:14 PM

The Financial Bailout: A View of Reality by Al Jacobs
by Al Jacobs
About Me View My Posts
Are you watching as the nation's politicians work to solve the financial meltdown of 2008? Though they all have different opinions on what must be done, they seem to agree on one point: hundreds of billions in taxpayers' dollars must be thrown at the problem. The popular phrase of the moment is "bailout," with visions of the federal government buying up non-performing mortgage loans from failing financial... 10/22/2008 9:07:22 PM

The Not So Sweet Story on High Fructose Corn Syrup
by wojcik11
About Me View My Posts
It has been hard to ignore lately, the ads running on television trying to dispel the negative reputation that high fructose corn syrup has gained over recent years. It's part of an 18-month campaign launched by the Corn Refiners Association (CRA) in effort to give high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) an image makeover. The message: High-fructose corn syrup is made from corn, has no artificial ingredients,... 10/22/2008 9:05:17 AM

A Good Nights Sleep...Insomnia Relief.
by wojcik11
About Me View My Posts
Insomnia is estimated to affect more than half of the U.S. adult population. Insomnia can take many different forms: difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, waking up too early, or waking up feeling unrefreshed. In a survey by the National Sleep Foundation, 58% of adults reported having insomnia at least a few nights a week. Aside from the ever popular sleep aids and medications such as Ambien,... 10/15/2008 8:18:39 AM

Dry eye, menopause and testosterone
by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
Dry eye syndrome is absolutely awful. What's more, it is preventable when it is a result of untreated profound hypogonadism (menopause). Your doctor may tell you that it is not curable but that is because the studies on HRT have shown that it is made worse by taking post-menopausal hormones. Dry eye is made worse because the hormones that were used in these studies are nothing like the hormones that... 10/14/2008 9:59:20 AM

Good Mornings with Lemon Water.
by wojcik11
About Me View My Posts
Many of us already know the benefits of drinking plenty of water and proper hydration, but with the simple addition of fresh lemon juice you may have yourself a very healing beverage. I recommend that many of my patients begin each day...first thing in the morning...before any other food or drink (and yes, that means before your coffee..) with a glass of warm or hot lemon water. Why lemon water you... 10/7/2008 10:24:16 AM

Is sex the only reason to offer women testosterone?
by Beth Rosenshein
About Me View My Posts
It shouldn't be. Testosterone is a hormone that all human beings need to stay healthy. When I hear that menopause is normal and natural and therefore should go untreated I think about how everyone suffers from that kind of thinking. Around age 40-50 everyone needs reading glasses. That is natural and normal. Should only men wear reading glasses but not women? What do you think about when you think... 9/26/2008 7:56:21 AM
