Womens Health and Female Hormone Balance - Naturally with Whole Food Supplements

For the last several decades the modern medical establishment has been working diligently to stave off the inevitable women's health issue — diminished hormonal function. The method of choice targeted at women’s health has been labeled "Hormone Replacement Therapy" (HRT), with the goal of controlling the female hormonal system primarily in two ways: drugs and surgery.

Neither of these are natural, and both are problematic. In fact, just recently the medical approach to hormone replacement therapy has been labeled a disaster in several ways. First, hormone-regulating drugs have been cited by the medical profession to be cancer-causing and life-and-health threatening. Second, with more than 600,000 hysterectomies performed each year in America, many doctors are rightfully arguing that removal of body parts is no way to treat a lady.

Hormonal problems can lead to:
•  Painful menstruation (cramps, headaches, etc.)
•  PMS, bloating
•  Hot flashes
•  Cancer
•  Growth of facial hair
•  Fibroids
•  Loss of hair
•  Problems with nails and hair
•  Bone loss (osteoporosis)
•  Mood swings, irritability
•  Lack of sex drive

Now at last the tide is turning back to Nature. The use of specific herbs, foods and diets is on the rebound. Female patients have registered their distrust and disgust for a medical system that fails to nourish the body in favor of drugging it and cutting it open.

It is the opinion of this researcher, however, that the biggest obstacle to female hormonal health starts with the mindset that our modern lifestyle has instilled in us. We as a nation tend to look for quick results, powerful remedies and surrender of our own health to doctors. This is not the mindset if you work the natural way. Nature takes her course slowly, methodically and according to an innate intelligence that incorporates rhythm, energy and healing at the most basic, cellular level. There is no way to rush this. Further, hormonal imbalances are not overnight occurrences. They are the result of — as are most other diseases (yes, the medical profession views menopause, PMS and other female hormonal problems as "diseases") — years of lifestyle patterns that cause difficulties from puberty through menopause.

Be Kind to Your Health & Take These Actions Today...
First and foremost, return to Nature. Remember: what you eat, breathe, and take into your body affects your hormonal system and must be as natural as possible.

Key points regarding women’s health are:
• Artificial ingredients unbalance the hormonal system causing PMS and decreased estrogen. Read food labels to avoid preservatives, pesticides, dyes and other chemicals.
• Most packaged goods lack nutritional quality. Instead, eat only real foods: raw fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, fresh fish and whole grains.
• Your liver, ovaries, pituitary and adrenal glands and thyroid need an adequate supply of omega 3 essential fatty acids to produce your own hormones. How do you get it? Organic raw FlaxSeed oil is an excellent source.
• Not producing enough of your own hormones can be helped by eating raw alfalfa and other foods containing phytoestrogens, which act just like estrogen in your body.
• Toxins from non-organic foods, personal care products and the environment can overwhelm the body and cause havoc on your hormonal system. Exercises that move the entire body will remove toxins through the lymphatic system.
• USDA dairy and beef contain heavy hormone residues. This interferes with your own hormonal system. Eating organic dairy and beef eliminates livestock hormones.
• Altered oils and fats such as margarine, hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils, fried foods, chips, etc., also disrupt the female hormonal system. Products with cold-pressed, unrefined, organic oils are a great improvement.
• Synthetic and "natural" isolated vitamins and minerals act as chemicals in the body and can add to hormonal imbalances. Switch to our 100% WHOLE FOOD CONCENTRATE nutritional supplements. They are formulated to feed your cells with live nutrients you are missing in your diet. Taking this action can bring huge benefits.
• National Institutes of Health researchers found the risk of hormone estrogen drug use increases otherwise healthy women's risk of a stroke by 41%, a heart attack by 29% and breast cancer by 24%.
• Hormone Replacement Therapy consists of drugs - in the form of tablets, skin patches or creams - that increase levels of the sex hormone oestrogen. In women who have not had a hysterectomy, the common form of the drug is a combination of oestrogen [estrogen] and the hormone progestogen, which is added to reduce the risk of cancer of the uterus.

The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) launched a series of clinical studies in the 1990s to assess several preventive strategies in postmenopausal women. The combined estrogen and progestin component of the WHI, a placebo-controlled primary prevention trial in healthy postmenopausal women with an intact uterus, was stopped early because risk of invasive breast cancer exceeded the stopping boundary in the estrogen plus progestin group after a mean follow-up of 5.2 years and because overall health risks exceeded health benefits. At the time the trial was stopped, risks of coronary heart disease, stroke, and pulmonary embolism were significantly increased in the estrogen plus progestin group.

• All drugs have side effects. The severity depends on the individual patient.
• Hormones are powerful chemicals.
• Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) consists mainly of using estrogen to build up the endometrium (lining of the uterus), increasing the risk of endometrial cancer.
• Processed, refined food diets cause hormonal imbalances.
• Estrogens in HRT affect the emotions and psychological health.
• HRT has been linked to blood clots in lungs, legs and other arteries. It poses an increased risk for heart attacks and stroke.
• Alcohol consumption increases circulating estrogen, adding to the increased risk of disease.
• Menopause is not a hormone deficiency disease. It is a natural transition that does not automatically require "treatment."
• Hormonal health depends on having specific whole nutrient combinations essential to produce and utilize hormones in your body.
