Medical Menopause Approach Depletes Your Body Nutrients.

Because of their artificial molecular structure, many medications do deplete your body of various key nutrients. The full story of HRT or hormone replacement therapy for Menopausal or postmenopausal women is left untold as it gets hidden in the very slick marketing of associating it with two of the most bothersome concerns of the day, namely osteoporosis and cholesterol, hence the misguided popularity of estrogen.
Serious nutrient deficiencies come about particulary with long term use of medications such as high blood pressure drugs, the cholesterol lowering drugs that have been lately (early 2008) exposed as useless at best, and there is ample reasons and clinical proof that the recent plight of a famous Senator now with cancer, has it’s roots in such drugs, and not to forget the anti-diabetic medications.
The constant unnatural estrogen exposure worsenes the current bleak outlook that one out of ten women in the USA will develop breast cancer. It does not at all have to be that way because there are clinically proven and safe approaches to keep you safe from that scourge and if you have it already, it can be made to vanish without drugs. There is a full post on breast cancer, in que for posting at this site. In the meantime, if you are a woman, it is advisable to throw away the fashionable tight fitting bras and loosen that part a bit, for your good health. Your breasts were never meant to be in a continous tight squeeze 24/7/365. Furthermore, do take a very careful look at vitamin D3. That vitamin is missing in every woman with breast cancer.
Estrogen use increases your risk of breast cancer, uterine cancer, gall bladder ill-health and excess blood clotting that can lead to stroke, pulmonary emboli, depression,heart attack, high blood pressure and even thyroid suppression. Clinical researches cited in the New England Journal of Medicine show that medical hormone replacement increases the coagulability of your blood thus elevating the risk of a heart attack, and neither does it lower deaths caused by heart disease.
Your nutrient depletion comes about as the drugs interfere with the absorption of a nutrient by blocking the relevant receptor sites on the cells or by bonding with nutrients and thus make them unavailable. This same phenomenon is also observable when growing crops with the artificial fertilizers, and that partly accounts for the loss on nutritional intergrity in much of our food supply today.
You ought to know that your body nutrients require a certain alkaline or acid environment to be properly absorbed, however some drugs dramatically alter the pH balance of your digestive tract and once again hindering absorption. they even interfere with the synthesis of various compounds in the cells, the metabolism therein and the nutrients transport system.
With that deficiency state of affairs brought about, medications do lead to a variety of symptoms, as for instance depression, insomnia, fatigue, cardiac ab normalties, hair loss, memory loss, arrthymia, hearing loss, anemia and no doubt a lowered immune response.
Most frightening is that some drug induced nutrients depletion are not easily noticeable, submarine-like they are dangerously silent, so to speak, very insidious and at sub-clinical levels and increase your vulnerability to cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis.
What you have just read is nothing new, those effects are very thoroughly documented in the scientific literature, but somehow the conventional medical community pretends they don’t exist.
Dear reader, your author cannot resist to pose this intriguing question, Who benefits?
By the time the first signs of trouble surface, your body may have been suffering from the depletion for months or even a few years. For instance,drugs such as aspirin or the so called acid-blockers like zantac, pepcid and cholesterol drugs like questran deplete your body of iron. And it could take six months to a year for the first signs of real trouble, anemia–hair loss, constant fatigue, weakness— to begin to surface.
At that point it is difficult to track the problem to the cause, which may well be the drug that you took or have been taking for months without any noticeable trouble. Infact, if you were lucky enough to have a physician with a bit of knowledge about deficiencies, the chances of tracking it to a medical drug would be very very minimal. It therefore stands to reason that the cause is rarely identified and thus symptoms resulting from medication induced nutrient deficiencies are often wrongly treated with yet other medications, that cause addtional deficiencies and compounding your health problems.
Reader, do come along and follow with me this 54 year old female who has been undergoing hormone replacement since her menopause at age 51. You will find this very interesting especially against the background of what you have read so far.
This post will continue, stay tuned.
