Menopause
and PMS: Why Suffer? Imagine your life without the symptoms,
naturally.
By Dr. Gary Knighton
When women
visit my practice, many are looking for the best natural alternative
for dealing with Menopausal and PMS symptoms. Women with Menopausal
symptoms have been extremely concerned since the Woman's Health
Initiative (WHI) released the results of their major study on
the long-term results of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Literally,
overnight, the results of this study changed the way women deal
with Menopausal symptoms.
This study confirmed that the use of estrogen plus progesterone
increased a woman's chance of invasive breast cancer, strokes,
blood clots, and coronary heart disease according The Journal
of the American Medical Association. (July 17, 2002) Government
officials halted the study three years before its scheduled end
(2005) to release findings. According to the study, the risk of
using HRT clearly outweighed the benefits. The "wonder drug"
of Menopause, which doctors prescribed to 45 million women last
year, turned out to be potentially dangerous.
Questions
and Doubts
These sudden changes left many women feeling confused and scared
about their health. Millions of women have a lot of unanswered
questions about what to do for their symptoms, but nobody can
give them a straight answer.
In 2001, the Foundation for the Better Health Care estimated that
75% if Menopausal women in the U.S. complain of symptoms, which
indicated the enormity of the problem.
Since the results of that study were revealed, I've seen several
women who want to know what alternatives they have for dealing
with their symptoms. Unfortunately, most doctors don't have real
answers or alternatives to offer these women.
What About PMS?
Many women turn to over-the-counter pain relievers for PMS-related
symptoms, but for a growing number of women, theses products simply
don't help. An alarming 40% of women have PMS symptoms severe
enough to impair their daily activities, according to the Mayo
Clinic (January 28, 2002). My own wife suffered from severe PMS
symptoms for years without relief.
Ineffective products are one concern, but since the major HRT
study, more and more women are concerned that these over-the-counter
products may one day prove to cause potentially dangerous health
problems as well. Thus, the number of women seeking a natural
alternative for PMS symptom relief continues to grow at a rapid
rate. The problem is finding a natural product that works.
Nothing Worked
Frustrated and discouraged, many of my patients say they've tried
everything to alleviate their symptoms. Most of the products,
mainly pills and progesterone creams, amounted to a lot of wasted
time and money for these women.
Dr. Susan Love, MD, who President Clinton appointed to the National
Cancer Advisory Board in 1998, and who is the Adjunct Professor
of Surgery at UCLA, explains that there is not way to know how
much progesterone (from cream) is entering each woman's system,
because "there is no guarantee of the amount of progesterone
in a cream. ... In fact, (studies) don't rule out the possibility
that (progesterone creams) may even increase breast-cancer risk."
Similar to HRT, progesterone creams could lead to serious health
problems with long term use. I don't recommend them to women and
most doctors agree. The Mayo Clinic stated in January 2002 that
progesterone creams derived from wild yams and soybeans are ineffective
and that most doctors recommend against their use all together.
Another problem is that improper combinations of herbal ingredients
can be either ineffective, or potentially dangerous. Understanding
the complex interaction of herbs in not something for the untrained
or inexperienced. Unfortunately, most "natural" products
do not come from expert herbalists.
The Meditteranean Answer
Herbal wisdom from the Mediterranean predates the Ayurvedic and
even Chinese herbal wisdom. More than 75 years ago, a Mediterranean
master herbalist developed an all-natural, stimulant-free, balanced
formula of 100% pure food herbs to help women deal with symptoms
of Menopause and PMS. Ever since then, Mediterranean women have
experienced incredible results with the 15 unique, 100% natural
ingredients in the formula now known as Female Balance.
The 75 year-old Mediterranean formula contains such recognizable
ingredients such as Black Cohosh and Chasteberry, known for years
to help with Menopausal and PMS symptoms. Clinical studies conducted
in Germany between 1982 and 1991 support the safety and effectiveness
of these herbs for Menopausal symptom relief. Several other double-blind
studies and study reviews include those done at the Institute
for Natural Products Research (May-June 2001) and others published
in the Journal of Women's Health (June 1998) and the Journal of
Clinical Oncology (May 2001).
Female Balance also includes herbs such as Cramp Bark, Squaw Vine,
King Solomon Seed, Black Seed, and others. Native to the Mediterranean
region, Black Seed is a versatile herb known since Biblical times
to specifically help balance the female system and to help boost
immune system function.
King Solomon Seed is an ancient herb that, according to The Herbal
Encyclopedia (Rev. Dr. Lisa Waltz, ND, DD, CNC) as well as A Modern
Herbal (Grieve), has been used to help with women's disorders.
These rare herbs are one of the secrets to why Female Balance
works so well, but proper ingredient combination and balance are
real reasons why it is so effective.
By far the greatest difference between Female Balance and other
herbal products is proper ingredient blend. Anyone could combine
the same 15 ingredients, but only someone with expert knowledge
can combine the ingredients properly, to ensure their effectiveness.
If you give a Cordon Bleu master chef and an amateur chef the
same ingredients to cook a meal, the superior meal will come form
the chef with the most skill and experience - the one who properly
blends the ingredients.
The master herbalist who created this formula has worked all his
life to understand how to balance and blend herbs to be effective.
His experience grew from a 1200-year family lineage of master
herbalists who devoted themselves to building their knowledge
of herbs and passing on the knowledge.
Mediterranean herbal knowledge now consists of more than 10,000
herbs (compared to the American herbal knowledge of only 300).
Knowledge and experience make the difference which is why this
product works and others fail.
Life Changing Results
My wife started taking Female Balance after she researched it
and listened to others talk about how well it worked. She began
taking the product just a few days before her menstrual cycle
and continued using it through-out her cycle. She felt immediate
results, and was virtually free of her usual symptoms (bloating,
headaches, low energy, nausea, and irritability). She continues
to use Female Balance today with incredible success.
In my experience with people using herbal products, if any results
occur, they are only temporary at best. Continued use of this
product, however, balances your body and produces lasting results.
In fact, because it is so effective, the longer you take it, the
less you use.
Physicians' Desk Reference
I was also really impressed to find that Female Balance is
in the Physicians' Desk Reference for Nonprescription Drugs and
Dietary Supplements (PDR). Medical doctors and pharmacists have
trusted this book for the last 55 years, and this is one of the
few all-natural products featured in this book.
Patient Success
The most impressive aspect of this Mediterranean formula is how
fast it works. My patients report an average of only 24 to 48
hours before noticing legitimate results, and I hear story after
story about how well the product works.
One of my patients, still in the early stages of Menopause, complained
of terrible hot flashes and headaches. She was not interested
in drug treatments due to the possible health risks as well as
the high cost. I suggested that she try Female Balance, and in
less than three days, she reported a drastic reduction in the
severity of her hot flashes. After continued use of the product,
she was virtually free of her symptoms and able to resume her
normal, active lifestyle.
Since the abrupt end of the WHI study, several women have asked
me about switching form HRT to a natural alternative. Because
of my patients' overwhelming success, I recommend Female Balance
with confidence to any woman suffering from Menopausal symptoms.
I also get frequent complaints from women about PMS symptoms.
Another patient of mine complained of mood swings, low energy,
insomnia, cramps, bloating, and low sex drive. Her PMS symptoms
were so bad that they were affecting her marriage, also a fairly
common complaint. Just days after she started on the product,
her symptoms essentially disappeared.
Doctor Recommended
As a doctor, it has been my mission to find the safest and most
effective natural product to help control Menopausal and PMS symptoms.
In my opinion, HRT and over-the-counter drugs are not the answers.
But Mediterranean Female Balance is the natural solution. The
100% natural, stimulant-free, precisely blended ingredients interact
safely to help balance the endocrine system, which helps with
overall balance in the female body.
You no longer have to suffer with Menopausal or PMS symptoms.
Do not put your life in danger with potentially harmful treatments.
Stop wasting money on products that don't work.
Female Balance is the only product I recommend to help free patients
form the problems associated with Menopause and PMS. Once you
experience life-changing results with this 100% money back guarantee
product, you will know the peace of mind that comes from doing
the right thing for your body.
