Balancing Female Hormones, Naturopath, Estrogen, Progesterone, PMS, Menstrual, Menopause

Hormonal balance for women is necessary for every area of health-- low sex drive [low libido], cardiovascular health, menopause, menstrual discomforts, breast health [breast cysts], emotional health, female anxiety, nervous disorders, skin problems and strengthening bones. After age 25 female hormones [estrogen and progesterone] start to become imbalanced, and the imbalance continues relentlessly through perimenopause and throughout menopause. Click here to see my Female Hormone Balance Naturopathic Protocol.

Naturopathic Medicine believes in nutritionally supporting hormone levels by nourishing the female endocrine system and reproductive organs with nutrients that facilitate health and healing on a cellular level. Conventional Medicine supports synthetic hormones and hysterectomies. Synthetic hormones are dangerous and are documented to cause cancer. These include birth control and/or hormone replacement pills, patches, injections, etc. statistics show that doctors perform 650,000 hysterectomies each year-- and only about 10% of them are done because of cancer or other life-threatening reasons! This surgery can throw off your hormonal balance for years.

For female hormone balance, I strongly suggest Herbal Balance #876. Unlike pure hormones, which only provide hormonal supplementation, the Herbal Balance #876 herbs achieve their balancing effect by nourishing the reproductive organs]. Note: If you are on synthetic hormones [birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy, the herbs in the Herbal Balance #876 should not be used.

For females who are menopausal, I strongly suggest Fem-Gest Body Cream [Natural Progesterone And Antioxidant Transdermal Body Cream Bone density loss in females [osteoporosis] is frequently associated with menopause. Osteoporosis symptoms include bone shortening, thinning and gradual loss of height. Fem-Gest Body Cream and/or Herbal Balance #876 offer excellent nutritional support in lieu of synthetic hormone replacement therapy.

NOTE: Acid-Alkaline Balance plays a crucial role in Female Hormone Balance.

Every disease process begins with one single cell. Cells reproduce constantly. The goal of nourishment in female hormonal imbalance is to make healthier cells so that they will reproduce healthier cells, which will spread to the surrounding tissues, then to the organ, then to the organ system. The average diet does not even begin to provide adequate cellular nourishment, but it is absolutely essential to nourish the cells daily with vital nutrients that are easily and safely absorbed. For female hormone imbalance, both your reproductive system and your endocrine system require certain nutrients that facilitate a healthy hormonal balance. Naturopathic Medicine believes that female hormonal imbalance, regardless of severity, is most likely a result of nutritional imbalances as well as an accumulation of toxic substances. When the nutritional and the acid-alkaline imbalances are corrected, and the body is adequately detoxified, any adverse symptoms begin to remedy themselves while restoring normal organ function.

I strongly suggest the following nutritional supplements:

Cover your basic nutrient requirements with Liquid Vitamin/Mineral [Plant-Derived] Formula. Hormone balance cannot occur without certain nutrients. This delicious liquid plant-derived supplement is superior in nutrients and absorption. The nutrients found in this highly absorbable great tasting supplement are essential for the health and healing of nerves, muscles, bones, heart, hormone balance, teeth, gums, skin, hair, nails, and immune system. This formula is a balanced combination of vitamins, minerals [at least 74 plant derived hydrophilic minerals which are the same type found in fruits and vegetables], herbs, phytonutrients, antioxidants, electrolytes and other nutrients that needed for good health. The key factor to reversing disease is maintaining a balanced acid-alkaline state in the body. Minerals are alkalinebecause they increase blood oxygen levels and because they relax the body from tightness, tension, stiffness, spasms, twitches, tics or jerkiness as in nervousness, anxiety, anger, fear, agitation, headaches, muscle cramps, menstrual cramps, arthritis, insomnia, constipation, heart palpitations, irregular heartbeats, high blood pressure, eye twitches, acne, plaque on teeth, plaque on heart and arteries due to cholesterol build-up, plaque on the brain [Alzheimer's], and an accumulation of estrogen building up inside the tissues [estrogen dominance]. The suggested adult dose is one ounce twice daily.

Calcium Magnesium Powder ...Calcium and Magnesium are essential minerals for re-establishing hormone balance. Adequate Calcium is important in maintaining a healthy brain and nervous system. It is necessary for protein synthesis, and helps to prevent muscular cramps and numbness. It also helps prevent Cancer; provides energy; healthy RNA and DNA; promotes restful sleep. It fights aching joints, brittle nails, eczema, high cholesterol, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, insomnia, muscle cramps, nervousness, numbness in arms and legs, rheumatoid arthritis, rickets, tooth decay, dementia, convulsions, depression, delusions, hyperactivity, and more. Many people do not realize that calcium needs other minerals and trace elements for proper absorption. Therefore, taking plain Calcium supplements could cause more harm than good in the long run. Improper Calcium absorption can lead to kidney stones or other kidney problems and Calcium deposits in the joints. Magnesium has more health benefits attributed to it than any other mineral. It is mainly found in the bones and inside the cells, where it is necessary for the metabolism of and other nutrients. Magnesium is involved in regulating the acid-alkaline balance in the body, and for proper muscle function, including the heart. By far, the best calcium source and the best absorbed is Calcium gluconate, which is 90% vegetable, and is the purest injectable grade. When calcium is not properly absorbed, its deposits can lodge anywhere in the body and cause numerous diseases and disorders, including heart disease, arthritis and muscle disorders. The suggested adult dose for this

delicious tasting supplement is one tsp twice daily.

The brain and nervous system, particularly during female hormone imbalance, also require an adequate supply of B-Complex vitamins, amino acids, and numerous other nutrients. Stress, anxiety and nervousness take a tremendous toll on your cells. B vitamins must be adequately supplied daily. Otherwise tremors, skin disorders, muscle weakness, fatigue, depression, moodiness, irritability, mood swings, and a host of other symptoms can result. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, the basis of life itself. They are a major constituent for the brain, nerve, muscle, blood, skin, and internal organs. Amino acids are precursors to dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and many other substances critical to health and well being. Besides building cells and repairing tissue, they form antibodies to combat invading bacteria and viruses; they are part of the enzyme and hormonal system; they build nucleoproteins (RNA and DNA); they carry oxygen throughout the body and participate in muscle activity. Amino acids have been found to be extremely useful in weight control, depression fighting, muscle building, proper hormonal activity, and proper function of the immune system. Amino acids are necessary for growth and cellular replication throughout the body. I strongly suggest the most densely nutritious food in the world [Email for details]. It is an alkalizing food, which has been revealed as the most nutritionally loaded food in the world, with an abundance of nutrients that are essential for strengthening the hormonal system and the immune system.

Aloe Vera [Aloe Immune]: Start out with 2000 mg per day and work up to more as tolerated. ALL aloe vera products are not created equal. Aloe Immune is used to strengthen the immune and endocrine/hormonal systems, as well as to shrink tumors, cysts and other growths. The aloe polymannans in Aloe Immune is as pure as it gets. Aloe Immune's proprietary process delivers concentrated nutrients at a fraction of the cost due to the use of dehydrated powder rather than a freeze or spray dried powder, or diluted juice form.

CoQ10 [Coenzyme Q10] Q-Gel® With Vitamin E: Recent findings substantiate the view that supplementation with CoQ10 can cause complete regression of certain tumors [including fibroid tumors and female organ cysts] and a reduction of fibrous tissue. It is also used to reduce blood clotting, thereby easing menstrual cramps. As for the immune system, CoQ10 stimulates T-Cells and is a potent antioxidant that scavengers free radicals [they cause degenerative diseases]. Q-Gel is the ONLY duosoluble™ (Fat AND Water soluble) CoQ10 supplement and the only CoQ10 that exhibits 100% dissolution via USP testing standards. In other words, Q-Gel ensures that more CoQ10 gets into your system. Before Q-Gel was available, it took doctors carrying out clinical trials of CoQ10 several months to a year or more to achieve therapeutic blood levels of CoQ10. With Q-Gel, they are now achieving therapeutic blood levels of CoQ10 in 3-4 weeks. Take one softgel twice daily.

With all the negative hype going on these days about the dangers of high-fat diet, do not confuse Omega 3 fatty acids [the good fat from vegetable oils] with Omega 6 fatty acids [the harmful saturated fat from animals]. Omega 3 does not contribute to weight gain or other health problems. To the contrary, it actually normalizes metabolism, balances hormones, and reduces inflammation. Actually both are good healthy fats that our bodies need, but the danger lies in an imbalanced ratio of the 2. We only need about 5 times the amount of Omega 6 than we do Omega 3, but the typical Western diet provides at least 40 times as much. It is this gross imbalance that results in weight gain, hormone and brain chemistry imbalance, heart disease, tumors, cancer, arthritis, brain and nervous system disorders, including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, certain kinds of mental illness, depression, post-partum depression, bi-polar disorder, alcoholism, schizophrenia, dementia (including Alzheimer's), poor concentration and memory, attention deficit disorder, and a host a other health problems. The healthy thing to do is cut down considerably on Omega 6 fats, and supplement the Omega 3 fats. The Omega 6 fats to reduce in your diet are hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated, saturated animal fats [beef, lamb, pork, sheep, veal], and animal organ meats [brain, heart, kidney, liver]. You should completely avoid trans-fatty acids fake fats, which include margarine, olestra, olean. These fats are synthetic and pose a major health threat to all vial organs, particularly the liver which attempts to metabolize them. Instead, use olive oil, coconut oil or grape seed oil to cook [Butter does not become toxic when heated, but because it is animal fat, it may tend to raise the level of "bad cholesterol" in the body]. Olive oil [Omega 3 and Omega 6], coconut oil and grape seed oil [Omega 3] are the only oils that do not become toxic when heated. You may also use flax oil [Omega 3] on salads, but it becomes toxic when heated. Due to increasing ocean pollution, the purity of the fish oil [Omega 3] is the single most important factor to consider when taking it as a supplement.

For healthy female hormones, I strongly suggest liver detoxification. Liver toxicity is often the cause of hormone imbalance in the first place. A toxic congested liver can result in fatigue, jaundice, constipation, depression, insomnia, anxiety, cravings, skin problems, poor digestion, poor circulation, poor mental alertness, poor weight maintenance, and more. My favorite for liver detoxification is Essiac Tonic

Hair loss, thinning hair, and pre-mature gray hair result from hormonal imbalance as well as liver toxicity. People often mistakenly think that they inherit these conditions. Naturopathic Medicine does not believe that any disorders or diseases are inherited, but rather that you inherit a high requirement for certain nutrients. For hair loss, thinning hair and premature graying, my favorite is Essiac Tonic

The nutritional supplements on this page are only half of the battle. The other half consists of eliminating substances that increase inflammation and toxicity, thereby interfering with healing:

Avoid sugar because it contributes greatly to hormonal imbalance. These include fruits, fruit juices [frozen, bottled, canned], cakes, candy, chewing gum, cookies, ice cream, jams, jelly, Jell-O, marmalades, pastries, pies, preserves, sherbets, soft drinks, sugared fruit, tapioca puddings, white sugar, syrup, processed commercial yogurt, brown sugar, fructose sugar, corn syrup, soft drinks, honey, dehydrated cane juice granules, barley malt syrup, brown rice syrup, date sugar, maple syrup, sucanat, blackstrap molasses, sorghum, and most of all Aspartame [NutriSweeet] and Alcoholic Beverages [beer, wine and hard liquor all turn to sugar in the blood]...Xylitol And Stevia are 2 very healthy natural sweeteners that are perfectly OK use; also unsulphured blackstrap molasses.

Avoid dairy products [butter, cheese, milk, sour cream, whey, whipped cream, yogurt] because they contribute greatly to the spread of inflammation. Good substitutes are organic brown rice milk, raw goat milk and nut milk.

Avoid white flour products because they contribute greatly to hormonal imbalance. These include cakes, pies, cookies, pastries, donuts, breads, crackers, rolls, biscuits, muffins, pancakes, pizzas, gravy, processed pasta [spaghetti, macaroni, ravioli, lasagna, noodles, dumplings]... Instead Use Whole-Grain Flour [Wheat, Brown Rice, Oat, Barley, etc]

Avoid processed table salt. It disrupts the body's normal pH, brain chemistry, hormonal balance, muscle function, and fluid levels. Use organic sea salt instead.

Avoid Processed Meats with toxic preservatives such as nitrates and nitrites [wieners, bologna, salami, pastrami, corned beef, bacon, ham, sausage, hot links]

Avoid ingesting chemicals such as nicotine, tobacco, pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, processed foods, pre-packaged foods, refined foods, and tap water because they contribute to liver toxicity and free radical damage. Synthetic chemical and substances cause cellular havoc in an attempt to digest them. The body can only safely digest natural whole foods.

Avoid Personal items that are processed with any unnatural chemicals, dyes, inks, artificial fragrances. If any of the toxic substances are absorbed into your body, they are linked to a lowered immune system, increaseD inflammation, endometriosis, candida, and cancer...Undergarments, wash cloths, bath towels, bed linen, tissue paper, sanitary napkins, diapers, etc. Should be white, hypo-allergenic, made of cotton fibers. Menstruating females should use sanitary napkins instead of tampons, but if tampons are used they should be made with organically grown cotton fibers.

Avoid Toxic laundry and hygienic products...Use organic, or at least hypoallergenic [free of fragrances, dyes, inks] laundry and hygienic products that come in contact with your skin...Use 1 cup Clorox bleach with every laundry load to kill infections.

Avoid Toxic skin and hair products, toothpastes, mouthwashes, douche solutions, deodorants, make-up, nail polishes, nail glues, cosmetics, colognes, perfumes, lotions...The skin can only safely absorb natural ingredients.
