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.
