So menopause is taking over your life and you’re feeling
like a woman (not).
You’re hot when
other people are cold, you snap at your loved ones and in the next minute
you’re crying or laughing and don’t even think about getting a good nights’
sleep?!
Welcome to your new life! The menopausal one.
The good news is it isn’t all downhill from here.
Many women don’t take Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for
fear of getting breast cancer as there have been many articles written linking
breast cancer with HRT. Additional
scares of having a stroke and or blood clots also stop women from going on to
some form of HRT or ERT (Estrogen Replacement Therapy). They start looking for alternative ways to
handle those nasty hot flashes, mood swings and diminishing sex drive.
The effect of soy isoflavones (if you’re not intolerant of
soy) on menopausal symptoms is promising, but not clear. Many vitamins and supplements on the market,
such as black cohosh also promise relief from symptoms but as yet nothing has
been proven.
James Sloane, herb-man extraordinaire, sums it up in a
report where he writes that it is important during any form of hormonal
imbalance to keep the adrenal glands healthy.
Although the ovaries are the primary source for the production of
progesterone, estrogen and testosterone, the adrenal glands too produce these
hormones. The adrenals do this to help
maintain hormone balance in the body, and to help act as a cushion for when the
ovaries start to shut down during menopause.
Stimulants such as caffeine, ephedrine and nicotine, not to
mention stress and steroids are the biggest killers of the adrenal glands. So avoid them, ladies! And because the adrenal glands use more
Vitamin C than any other part of the body, this should be supplemented.
Don't use synthetic Vit C. Instead, go for the real stuff like Amla
Berries (Indian Gooseberries) which are packed with Vit C. In fact, they are the highest herbal source
of Vit C, followed by Camu Camu and Acerola Cherries.
The next thing those adrenals need is Pantothenic Acid which
is best found in Bee Pollen… but where to find that! There are various herbs which also have a
strengthening effect on the adrenal glands, the best being Schisandra Berry,
Licorice Root, Suma, Siberian Ginseng and Nettle Leaf.
We also suggest changing your diet to include as much
organic food as possible. Unfortunately
many meats, poultry and veggies found in local supermarkets come from farms
where antibiotics, pesticides and GMOs are prevalent. These toxic foods put more stress on your
already overstressed body and the adrenal glands (and thyroid too) go into
panic mode.
At The Ozone Pod we have successfully assisted
pre-menopausal and menopaused women deal with their symptoms using Ozone
Therapy and good supplements like Nutrilite’s Siberian Ginseng (which we
supply). While Ozone never ‘cures’
menopause, the enriched oxygen in the bloodstream assists the adrenal glands to
cope with the overload of stress and stimulants which most women just don’t (or
can’t) cut down on. Once the ozone has
oxidised the pathogens, the liver takes over to flush them out. Once again Ozone to the rescue – with the
bloodstream filled with life-giving oxygen, the liver is able to do its
trash-disposal without straining itself.
The increased oxygen also helps the body to regulate its temperature, so
hot flashes, while not completely arrested, become shorter in duration and
easier to handle. Sleep deprivation also
becomes a thing of the past as ozone assists in the release of natural
melatonin.
So, ladies, take back your life and don’t let menopause
affect it.
