You already possess all you need to stay calm. It's just a matter of practice. 2. Food isn't just fuel; it has the power to heal. 3. You can't slow the aging process by getting tough on your body.

Reading the most recent headlines about menopause you would think older women should not use HRT. New evaluations of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) are saying that using HRT does not raise a woman's risk for disease until about age 60-65 or after about 10 years on HRT. There are so many problems with this statement it is hard to know where to begin. First of all, hormone replacement therapy wasn't... 9/17/2008 10:45:54 PM

Here's the thing. It is pretty much accepted that throughout a woman's life hormone changes will influence her skin. So when research shows otherwise I always want to see how the research was done so I can learn something new. I recently read a medical study that at first glance gave me the impression that hormones given for menopause would not help skin continue to look good. I regularly talk to dermatologists... 9/1/2008 10:40:33 PM

Putting a name on an illness is the first step in the direction of finding a treatment for it. For instance, a treatment for high blood pressure is something that will lower blood pressure and a treatment for a fever will lower the fever. This is how clinical trials evolve into effective treatments. Except when it comes to menopause. Have you ever asked yourself why treatment for menopause is so hard... 8/19/2008 11:13:44 PM

A recent Time Magazine article titled Center for Disease Control: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Increasing in Older Kids indicates that researchers are wondering if this trend is due to the marketing of stimulant medication by the pharmaceutical industry. Many of these children are being misdiagnosed. How many of them actually have diagnoses of depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress... 8/14/2008 11:06:08 PM

Who doesn't need treatment for menopause?

About Me View My Posts
According to the National Women's Health Information Center, the answer is most women. I don't agree. I believe every person, man or women, deserves to know if they have an illness and has the right to decide for themselves if they want treatment or not. So I contacted the National Women's Health Information Center via their website. I requested that women be informed that untreated menopause is untreated... 8/13/2008 10:31:01 PM
