Medical Menopause Approach Depletes Your Body Nutrients.

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

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.

DHEA Health Benefits.

The Health Benefits Of DHEA Supplement Include Alleviating Depression, Menopause Hormonal Balance And Improvement In Insulin Sensitivity.

DHEA is a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands and declines its presence in the body human as you age. Hormones simply put are delicate operational factors and co-factors and precursors, whose balance has to be fairly precise for the body to operate as nature intended.

Consequently the use of DHEA is better managed via consultation with a health-care professional to avoid possibilities of imbalancing natural body functions.

DHEA has been proven clinically safe to use and here are a number of healthy benefits to its credit, that the alternative health therapies arena could salvite over.

Announcement:

We are a big fan of the basic Simpleology time management and planning materials.

I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

  • The best blogging techniques.
  • How to get traffic to your blog.
  • How to turn your blog into money.

I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.

End of announcement.

Fat-loss and Insulin Resistance.

In a sudy of human subjects, with very low levels of DHEA and average age of 69, researchers  from the School of Medicine at Washington University, looked at the effects of DHEA on excessive abdominal fat and insulin resistance. Half the group of the 60 subjects were administered a daily dosage of 50mg of DHEA and the rest a placebo.

The results were a significant improvement in insulin sensitivity among the ones taking DHEA, as indicated by the oral glucose tolerance tests, and none in the placebo group.  Furthermore, there was a significant loss of both abdominal fat and the fat around muscles in the DHEA recepients, without any bad side effects. The “fat” part of the study might well be why body builders and some sports people partake  of this stuff from time to time. By the way that clinical research spanned a full six months.

DEPRESSION.

The next area of interest which predictably perhaps,  has been pathologized, and evidence abounds, by those who do not have a  “patient’s” interest at the fore-front. That is the area of something called Depression, which will see a number of posts on this site in due course.

Depression assessment markers were determined prior to a clinical research study, then also midway of the study and at the end. This was carried out by the National Institute Of Health circa 2005, on a group of fifty subjects, with a view to determine the precise effects if any of DHEA on depression. The subjects divided into two groups, with one receiving placebos for the entire time interval of the study. The other group took 90 mg daily which was stepped up to 450 mg daily at the half-time mark of the study.

The results were that the DHEA takers showed significant improvement in all the assessment markers, zilich for the placebo group.

There was at least a fifty percent  improvement in something called  the Hamilton Depression Rating for all the DHEA takers,

and only thirteen humans in the placebo group made the improvement cut.

In conclusion the researchers agreed that DHEA is an effective treatment for mild to moderately severe depression. This writer wonders what stopped the reserchers from addressing full blown depression. Shall we ever know?

MENOPAUSAL Women.

Overseas, in that land of Opera singers and pasta, at the University of Modena in Italy, a group of menopausal women were each administered  a daily dosage of 25 mg DHEA.

The outcome couldn’t be more interesting. Check this out.

There was significant improvement in hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms were rated progressive. In other words menopausal symptoms were indeed alleviated significantly.

Next, progesterone levels almost doubled.

Thirdly,testosterone levels increased nearly four times, ah yes, ladies do need some of that too. You will simply not believe the overall good feeling and the jump in your sensual responsiveness as a woman, that you get with an increase in your testosterone levels. Women over 45 years need to pay very close attention to this paragraph, because this also alleviates many of the bothersome menopausal symptoms. Many true health professionals were astonished at these repeatable results, and authors at this site have found, that this has been known for a number of years and the knowledge simply sat upon.

It will serve you best if we can provide a hyper-link to a clinical study and resources to safely and easily pursue more info. That link will be here very shortly.

Fourthly, estrogen levels increased by four times what they were at the start.

Fifthly, this author stands corrected, pasta is originally from China and popularized in Italy by one of it’s explorers, most probably Marco Polo.
