PUBLIC MARKS from longhorn2000 with tags bioidentical & pms

"While sleeping pills may help for a while, since they do not address the real reasons we cannot sleep, they will only work for a while. Sleeping pills simply treat the symptom and not the underlying cause of the problem which is hormonal imbalance and/or hormonal decline. "

"There has been a tremendous push for “The Cure for Breast Cancer” in this country. However, this slogan completely misses a fundamental truth about what women want. No woman wants to develop breast cancer, then submit to disfiguring, painful, or toxic therapies with the hope of being cured. Women want and deserve safe, effective measures to prevent breast cancer and the other maladies that occur during midlife. "

"Any complete program to deal with perimenopause and menopause will also include weight-bearing exercise, sufficient sleep, stress reduction approaches, a healthy diet, and other useful lifestyle changes. A knowledgeable practitioner can help guide you in developing an overall approach to help you feel your best. "

"In summary, make the connection between the symptoms you experience and hormone problems. Once your doctor has evaluated you and found you healthy by conventional standards, give up on conventional ping pong techniques of sending you from specialist to specialist and from test to test. These methods do not make anyone better. They only scare you and offer you a life of fear. Find a good doctor who will listen and care and who knows how to treat you with bioidentical hormones."
