Are Menopausal Symptoms Normal?

I remember a friend who had problems with menopause.   She went to a medical doctor who told her that in the past, people didn’t live as long as now, so it wasn’t a problem.  The medical doctor then tried to “balance her hormones”.

Okay, another weird fact?  People didn’t live as long. There was a 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in which a lot of original participants in the war showed up. 2000 Soldiers. They were in their 90s. (average age was 94)  There was also one funeral in 1916 where about 50 of the people who were in the same division as the deceased was in attendance, one was 101 years old. We don’t live as long?

It appears that the longevity is an average and there are reasons why people died early and thus the average age was lowered, but not true that people didn’t live so long so it wasn’t a problem.

However, menopausal symptoms are not normal. There is information on this and even a great video by Dr. Berg who sums it up quite easily.   “Menopausal Symptoms Normal – Think Again”   

Read Menopause

There is even information on what you can do about it.

Do you treat the symptoms or the cause of the problem?

I’ve come across this quite often where some health problem is treated by addressing the symptom instead of finding out why that symptom exists and treating that.  How many medical doctors think that they are naturopaths by addressing sleep with tart cherry instead of a drugs.  But they are still treating the symptoms.  Finding out why the person can’t sleep and treating that would be a nutritional handling of the problem.

Here is a video done by Dr. Eric Berg on What is the Cause of Fatigue?   He goes over this exact point.

Reverse Tooth Decay?

What?  Reverse Tooth Decay?   I was surprised when I read this title as I’ve been told my whole life that once a tooth is decayed the dentist will try and clean it out with his drill and fill it.  And thereby hopefully somehow saving the tooth. And, of course, if it is too far gone, the inevitable words, it will have to be pulled.

I myself have had too many teeth pulled and so was interested in finding out what this was about.   I was surprised to find out that this research was done in 1922 yet I’ve never heard anything about it. Or maybe I wasn’t really surprised that the research was  never followed up on.  It is amazing the research you can find not acted upon if you search for it.

Here is the article, I very much want to share it and will be doing follow up research myself

A Healthy Diet – Do You Know What That Is?

 

I’m amazed whenever I hear the words either in print or on radio or TV – “eat a healthy diet.”   The problem is that it is never defined.   Does a healthy diet mean you eat low fat?- some people believe that is true.   Or is it that you eat lots of fruit and vegetables?   What about protein – is meat okay?

I’ve  heard lots of bits and pieces, but mostly its just “a healthy diet”.  I’ve even heard that a healthy diet means you exercise … what?    Am I supposed to somehow innately know what that means?   Did I miss that in class one day?   Surely there must be a definition somewhere.

There used to be a food pyramid, that got replaced by a plate showing what should be on that plate each day.  Both seems rather silly and neither said anything about whether the food should be processed or GMO free.   I always wondered who made these up – someone in the government, but not who or why they thought this was the ideal diet.   I thought maybe they all voted on it.   It somehow was made up by “nutritional educators”.  Whoever that might be.

Try as I may, no one really gives you a definitive answer.   It’s funny too because I’ve never heard someone actually ask for a list of what to eat.  I never heard one of the health gurus come up what a list, or a guideline – just “eat a healthy diet”.

My search got some results.  I found a nutritionist who actually printed off a list of foods to eat.  Really.

You can read it here.   Good Food.

I’d be interested in seeing what you think.

And there is a Understanding Nutriton Course that will go to the basics of building good health.   Check it out Eat Well Course

Testosterone Treatments and Health Risks

Recently, you might have noticed a lot of ads about supplementing to help become more like when a guy was 20.   It seems to make some sort of sense, supplement with testosterone.

Giving the body artificial or hormone replacement therapy has never been a good idea.  The best way to help the bodies hormonal system is to find out which glands need support and give the body the nutritional supplements (whole food supplements) it needs to strengthen the system.

Meanwhile, its been found that testosterone supplementation is now linked to heart risk. Not surprising.   Here is an article   Testosterone treatment linked to Heart Risks.  Check our article on HRT – Hormone Replacement Therapy

Premature Gray Hair? How does that work?

I noticed when I was in my mid 20s that some people got grey earlier than others and some were really prematurely grey.

I started asking these females and males about whether they had dyed their hair when they were younger?  It was an observation that a lot of people had dyed their hair and gotten grey prematurely and the answer was always yes.

Well I found this article – interestingly it validated my observations.

A Balanced Diet – How do you start?

Been doing a lot of study lately on the type of foods we should be eating, and what it will do for health.

It’s much better to eat a good diet, then to deal with the consequences of nutritional deficiencies and the health problems they create.   Underlying all else should be a good diet.

Here is our first article on the subject  A Balanced Diet

Cancer Treatments – The “Alternatives”

There is a lot to be said about what treatment to use if you find you have cancer.    Here is an article on the treatments including several alternative methods   Cancer Treatments

Additionally, there is a TV show done on the Unknown Cause of Cancer.   It can be found here under One Man’s Take on Cancer.

It does talk about misdiagnosis of cancer and the other reason that you can get DNA mutations.  It is very worth watching.
