Q&A: Menopause, Peri-menopause, FSH

Question:

Hello. I am a healthy female & will be 52 this June. my FSH level is 104 & have not had a period since Sept. Is this considered post-menopause? Thank you. MC

 

Answer:

FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland,  to prepare female ovarian cells for fertilization. In men, FSH stimulates sperm division.  Secretion of all our hormones is based on complex interactions, so  FSH levels are connected with progesterone,  estrogen (primarily estradiol) , LH (Lutenizing Hormone) , Inhibin B, and GnRH (Growth Regulating Hormone).

If you were younger and these levels were this high, it could be an indication of infertility or other challenges.  At age 52  it is normal  for FSH to increase, as we are coming to the end of child bearing years.

Ranges are:

  • Women who are menstruating: 4.7 – 21.5 mIU/ml
  • Postmenopausal: 25.8 – 134.8 mIU/ml

You are more likely still in the stage called peri-menopause, as it has only been 4 months since your last period. Post menopause  generally means  menstruation has ceased for more than one year.

During peri-menopause, hormone levels, menstruation, hot flashes and moods may vary considerably. The better health you are in overall, the less you will be affected.

My website blog has several articles on Hormonal Health, which could benefit you as you begin this news stage of life. General healthful lifestyle recommendations are also covered in detail in my book:

The Paw Paw Program – The “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally.  Extensive dietary recommendations and some recipes  are given to help people understand how to eat better.  Eliminating sugar,  is critical to optimum health and prevention of all chronic conditions, diseases. These recommendations, with particular attention to keeping the liver and glandular system healthy will help ensure an easy menopause.

Many women are helped by a combination of herbs known as Women’s Formula. There are several formulas; some women prefer the Wild Yam and Chaste Tree combination, but there is ALWAYS something that works!

Please contact us if you are interested in obtaining any of the above. We encourage people to use the same quality herbs we have used  for 24 years in our consulting office. Thanks for contacting us!

M.N.  had not been feeling well for 5 days:

cold moving into her lungs which are susceptible to bronchitis.  Started on Lobelia that night and 2 doses the next day as well as rubbing it on her chest, throat and ears (she has had tinnitis for years, too).
She started feeling better in less than 24 hrs with just 3 doses!

Lara B. had poor digestion and severe eczema on hands for years.

She started Cat’s Claw Combination 2-3x a day, Protease Plus 1-3x/day on an empty stomach, daily super food shake with Collatrim, Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic, Flax Hull Lignans, berries, spinach and Solstic Energy.  Did separate bowel, kidney, liver cleanses and went off all grains, legumes dairy, sugar and night shades.  Digestion improved in 2-3 weeks and eczema cleared up in 8 weeks.  10 months later she is still following the diet and super food shake 1x/day.  Eczema and digestion is 98% better as long as this protocol is followed.

Q & A: Cancer of bladder recurring and prevention

Questions:

Paw Paw and its effects on bladder cancer: I have just started taking Paw Paw Cell Reg after being diagnosed with high-grade bladder cancer. Am not able to find much on the internet about its uses with Bladder CA. I was diagnosed with lung cancer 5 years ago, treated with chemo and radiation, and took graviola.

Tumor shrunk in 4 months from the size of a grapefruit to 2.9 cms. Continued the use of graviola for a year after with no recurrence. Now I have a second type of cancer. The small tumor I had in my bladder was removed 3 weeks ago, but I’m being told there are frequent recurrences with this disease, sometimes by muscle-invasive tumors, which would mean removal of the bladder.
I’m hoping to kill the cancer cells before recurrence with the held of Paw Paw. Do you know how soon Paw Paw actually begins to work or show effectiveness? As of now I have no tumors to shrink… just cells to kill.
My next question still is… since bladder cancer can be a lifetime recurring cancer, how do you know when it’s okay to stop taking it? McLaughlin says he doesn’t recommend using it as a maintenance, but more like an antibiotic… am also wondering if there is any possibility cells can also develop an MDR to Paw Paw with long term use.
Thanks very much for any help.                                  Doug M

Answers:

Unfortunately we see this often – cancer treated with any or all of the BIG 3, especially chemo, then another cancer appears down the road. Whether it has been caused by the toxicity of the first treatment, or is just a reflection that the immune system is not keeping on top of daily cell metabolism, is a moot point. This clearly emphasizes the importance of looking at balancing the entire body to prevent recurrence.

Paw Paw can work quickly – some have noticed a difference in energy levels within several days, for others it can take a month. However, if graviola worked in the past for you, then I suspect Paw Paw will work even better, as it is much more effective.

You are smart to keep on top of this to prevent any further tumor growth. As you are using Paw Paw Cell Reg (US name), this IS the correct species and reparation that has undergone all the research, and had the results.

You also need to look at other aspects of your lifestyle which may be allowing the recurrence. These are all explained in my book, The Paw Paw Program, as we find a person has much more success when they do more than just take herbs, even quality ones Like Paw Paw.

I would appreciate knowing from who you are purchasing the Paw Paw Cell Reg – this IS the correct, tested brand. This is the person who should be answering any future your questions, as part of the policy with Nature’s Sunshine Products is Quality, SERVICE and Integrity. If you are purchasing off Amazon, you are not going to get service.

For any future orders, please contact our office directly, then we can also support you, as well as ensuring you get it at direct cost from the NSP Company. (This person has since ordered the book and become one of our members for direct ordering and discount.)

To answer your second question, “when it’s okay to stop taking it?”,  I will ask you one back: what tests are your doctors using to decide whether you have cancer, whether you need chemo, or how your progress is doing? I would use these parameters, PLUS, even more importantly, HOW DO YOU FEEL? There is no problem taking Paw Paw until all symptoms are gone and you get a clear bill of health. My book addresses how to take for further prevention or re-occurance.

The lifestyle suggestions in my book are also designed to help you achieve and maintain optimum health and prevent other chronic conditions.

As far as dosage, the book explains that if you can split dosage every 6 hours, this is even more effective.

And no, in over 30 years there is no research to suggest cancer cells become  MDR resistant to Paw Paw, as it is not toxic like chemotherapy; it just interrupts ATP production, DNA and RNA replication.

Candida, Cancer and Optimum Health Diet

 This diet is an optimum diet for Candida, Cancer, Weight Maintenance and overall  health.

Lorene Benoit’s book:  The Paw Paw Program – The “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally gives detailed  explanation of why this diet is so effective for your health!

Focus on feasting your body with nutritious choices!

1. GREEN LEAFY:

All leafy greens:  Beet, Kale, Chards, Collard, Spinach, Mustard, Endive, Turnip, Poke, all Lettuces except Iceberg, Water Cress, Sprouts: Alfalfa, Clover, Pea, Broccoli, Radish, etc., Parsley, Chives, Oregano, Chickweed,  and all other herbs

 

2. GREEN:

Artichokes, Leeks, Asparagus, Lima Beans,  Green Peas, Broccoli, Green Pepper, Cabbage, String Beans, Celery, Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage

 

3. RED, ORANGE, PURPLE:

Beets, Tomato, Carrots, Red Cabbage, Eggplant, Red & Orange Peppers, Pumpkin, Yams, Sweet Potatoes, Chili Pepper, Red Lettuce

 

4. YELLOW AND WHITE:

Avocado, Turnip, Cucumber, Mung Bean Sprouts, Radish, Cauliflower, Squash, Yellow Wax Beans, Kohlrabi, Jicama

 

5. ROOT VEGETABLES:

Carrots, Rutabaga, Kohlrabi, Fresh Garlic, Onion, Beets, Radish, Yams, Sweet Potatoes, Jerusalem Artichoke

 

6. COMPLETE PROTEIN:

Eggs, Seafood, Meat, Poultry, Nuts and Seeds*

*Nuts and seeds are better digested, therefor  more nutritious if soaked overnight or almost to sprouting stage before eating.

7. OILS:

Cold Pressed Virgin Olive , Flax, Super Oil, Hemp, Coconut, Chia

 

8. DAIRY:

Butter, Cream, Whipped Cream

Many people who cannot handle dairy due to lactose intolerance can digest the fat of milk, so can have whipped cream, heavy cream or full fat yogurt; organic is preferable to avoid the hormones and antibiotics in regular dairy.

 

9. BEVERAGES:

Chlorophyll and Water, Super Shakes or Smoothies, (can be used as one meal replacement per day), Vegetable Broth

 

10. SALAD AND VEGETABLE DRESSING :

Fresh lemon or lime or pure, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar with cold pressed olive oil or other healthy oil is essential for EFAs.

– add garlic, onions, herbs & spices to create your own healthful homemade dressing/sauce

In Lorene Benoit’s book:  The Paw Paw Program – The “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally, there is an excellent dressing, “Alain’s Green Goddess Dressing“, which can be used for salads,  vegetables, grains or meats.

In this book, the sugar, yeast, candida, fungus and cancer connection are all well explained. Extensive dietary recommendations are given to help people understand how to eat better. Recipes are included.

Eliminating sugar is critical to optimum health and prevention of all chronic conditions, diseases and early detection!

This fact is finally being recognized in forward thinking mainstream medicine, but has taken over 25 years to become accepted.

 

11. BEANS, PEAS, LEGUMES, PULSES AND GRAINS :

Persons who adhere to strict vegetarian diets may rotate these and take small portions from the following, to supplement lots of vegetables.

Adzuki, Soy Beans, Black-eyed Peas, Black Beans, Navy, Split Peas, Kidney, Pinto, Red Beans, Lentils, Garbanzo/Chick Pea, Buckwheat, Millet, Amaranth, Quinoa, Spelt, Brown Rice, Rye,  Yellow Cornmeal, Oat Groats, Triticale

 

AVOID :

All sugars, (honey, molasses, maple syrup, etc.) pickled food, fermented foods, alcohol, dairy products, processed foods, yeast, wheat flour products, rancid seeds, nuts or oils, coffee, and black tea.

 

UPGRADING YOUR DIET AND HEALTH:

Once you are comfortable with this healthier way of eating, you can begin to “upgrade” your diet gradually with the following considerations:

  • Variety  – a wide range of colors provides vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients – follow the Rainbow!
  • Choose the best quality you can afford – organic and local whenever feasible; ALWAYS avoid GMO
  • Choose Blood Type foods that are Beneficial or Neutral
  • Avoid foods to which you test sensitive or allergic
  • Adjust to seasons: in  summer  fresh fruit and vegetables are abundant; this lighter diet feels much better with the hot weather.  In the winter the diet can be heavier with more proteins and oils
  • Food combining helps efficient digestion. The basics are:

– eat protein  with non starchy vegetables OR

– legumes or grains with non starchy vegetables

– limit fruit to local, seasonal and fresh; eat alone or between meals

– the less different foods combined in one meal, the better.

A good general diet over a period of a day would contain six – ten low glycemic or low carbohydrate vegetables, one protein, and one grain, with two different fruits  between meals if desired.

Naturally processed salt provides trace minerals, and has none of deleterious effects of processed salt. This means land OR sea salt that is naturally sun dried, without chemicals or high heat, has none of the trace minerals removed, and will be close to 84% sodium chloride. From p. 215 in Lorene Benoit’s book, The Paw Paw Program : 

Table salt has chemicals added to make it white in colour, and to flow. Better alternatives are Bragg’s Aminos or natural salt, whether it comes from the land or the sea. It is the processing that makes salt unhealthy. Healthy (unprocessed) salt will contain 84 – 86% Sodium Chloride (NaCl) and the rest will be minerals, including Magnesium, which is deficient in North American diets. Compare this to processed salt, which is usually 98-99% NaCl, because the minerals have been removed (to be sold, leaving you with the low cost leftovers).

To understand Candida better, please read: Candida Albicans/Yeast Infections. For Candida, cancer, any serious health condition, and optimum health, this diet is critical, as well as supplementation. Even with the best possible diet, daily needs can rarely be met with food alone.

Q&A: Paw Paw and Contra-Indicated Medications and Supplements

Question:

Can you take the paw paw if you are taking thyroid medicine?  Pat L.

Answer:

I do not focus on a lot of contraindications for the Paw Paw program. And, to be clear, I refer to the only to the Asimina triloba species of Paw Paw, as this is the plant with the research and results.  There are some websites which list herbs one must not take with Paw Paw. These websites do not return emails or calls requesting research or even  explanations for their statements. If they do not or cannot back up their statements with research, I don’t pay much attention.

As mentioned in my book,  The Paw Paw Program, thyroid “stimulators” are not recommended when following a program using Paw Paw. This may be based on statements similar to one by Dr. Duarte, October, 2008: “You shouldn’t take thyroid stimulators as well, things like 7-Keto or DHEA. These tend to stimulate thyroxin production.”

Understanding the mechanism of action of Paw Paw, we do not want to intentionally stimulate the thyroid when on the Paw Paw program.

HOWEVER, if someone is taking synthroid,  natural porcine thyroid prescription, or a herbal supplement for hypothyroidism, they need to stay on this, to help maintain  normal thyroid function critical for overall health, so one cannot just stop. If the thyroid is removed or destroyed by radioactive treatments, some form of thyroid supplementation is essential for life. This is different than taking high doses of thyroid stimulating herbs, when not needed.

Even if one is taking these thyroid medications or herbs, the benefits from the Paw Paw program still outweigh other options, such as toxic chemotherapy.

Most other supplements are fine, but please be sure to do FIRST the basic 4 as listed in the program in Benoit’s book, rather than too many others that may not enhance the overall effect. Once one is comfortable with the basic 4 components of the program, Paw Paw, Minerals, Omegas and Enzymes, then other herbs may be added to increase overall immunity or to address specific concerns and to ensure optimal functioning of all body systems. Some of those most recommended are in a past article Paw Paw Program Upgrade. Two of these include, Essiac Tea Concentrate and Pau D’Arco. Remember, cancer is not just a lump or tumor;  it is a reflection of the overall health of the entire body functioning as a unit, with optimization of the immune system.

UPDATE 2018:

You may also want to read Can I Take? (with Paw Paw). 

Please contact our office if you would like to order Paw Paw or other health supplements. Besides the best price,  we offer a direct account with discount and our support and personalized service.

Buying “Paw Paw Cell Reg” from Amazon is NOT advisable under ANY circumstances–even if it appears to be the same product. We have heard reports of tampered product, outdated product, or even fake product. In the words of one communication from the manufacturer–when you buy from Amazon, Ebay, and the like, you are essentially buying from an electronic yard sale.

 

Q&A: Malaria pills/vaccine – safe alternatives?

Question:

Hi Lorene,

My sister and I are taking off to the Pacific side of Costa Rica in January and we’re trying to make a decision whether or not to get the Malaria pill treatment/vaccine. We both really don’t want to go that route, but because of the severity of Malaria and the fact that it isn’t always curable, we need to either make that choice or know our other options. I thought you’d be the perfect person to ask if you have any informational references, websites, or personal experience you could share, as we would always prefer to go the natural route. If you have a moment, any information would be very much appreciated.

Hope you are well and life is bountiful… my Mom says hello Thanks for your time.

Answer:

Glad that you are questioning. I have several Vaccination articles, all of which you can read on Vaccine archives:https://www.NaturalPathRemedies.com/blog/category/healthy-solutions/vaccines/ .

From my 30 years of research into vaccines, I have never been convinced that their effectiveness outweighs their possible side effects.

In this article, https://www.NaturalPathRemedies.com/blog/healthy-solutions/crisis-management/safe-vaccine-alternatives/, you will see what we use as safe alternatives to vaccines. We usually take HRP-C and or Olive Leaf extract with us, and always Silver Gel.

On a personal level, we have never done vaccines, even when traveling extensively in Costa Rica, Thailand, Bali, Fiji. We keep our immune system healthy, and carry a herbal first aid kit. As this does not appear to be on my website blog, I will email you this separately. Some people we know have done the malaria pills and got sick from them; said they would not do it again.

For Malaria, your best prevention is to not get bitten by mosquitoes, so screens on windows and/or bed nets are important, especially if you are in the jungle. Most well travelled, tourist areas spray to control.

A natural insect repellant, which you can make with Lavender and Tea Tree Oil in Aloe Vera Gel is good to have. It also doubles as healing for sunburns, cuts, rashes or other wounds.

For more research, this article lists many good websites: https://www.NaturalPathRemedies.com/blog/healthy-solutions/vaccines/vaccination-research-websites-and-books/

If one of you is still concerned, there are also homeopathic Malaria “vaccines”, but we have never felt the need to use them; so if still concerned check them out – a better option, in my opinion, than medical vaccines. Hopes this helps!

 

Cataracts

Cataracts occur on the second level underneath the outer lens. Cataracts cloud your vision, distort your view, and make it difficult to read and focus. They cannot be helped with glasses.

Fortunately, the condition can be prevented and improved, especially in earlier stages. They can also be improved naturally, but it requires patience as it often takes up to 6 months. Cataracts are blamed on aging; which really means the body becomes nutritionally deficient causing cellular degeneration. Studies have shown that anti-oxidants found in herbs, including beta carotene, vitamins C and E show a reduction of up to 80% in cataract formation. Healing occurs in three stages.

1st stage: stop the degeneration of lens and growth of cataract

2nd stage: tissue will start to receive nutrients to change and repair- at this stage it may seem as if no progress is being made, this is where patience is needed

3rd stage: period of regeneration

 

Externally:

Silver Guard  is a nano-particle silver solution that is effective for cataracts. 1-2 drops Silver solution directly in the eyes 1- 4 times per day. Drinking silver internally 1 tsp. once or twice per day can speed up the process.

PS. Do not be put off by Canadian Health authorities labeling it as a mouthwash – a technicality – and you can read about the benefits and successes of Silver in past articles .

With Silver Guard, you can expect improvement in eyesight very quickly, especially if you have very dry eyes or bacterial or viral infection.

Cataracts that are very progressed are more difficult to reverse, but the surface of the eyes and the clarity of the lens can be improved with silver use.

And lastly, the old time expression “here’s spit in your eye” has meaning, as saliva has enzymes which can help dissolve deposits.

Internally:

For nutritional support, all of the following are recommendations to increase the healing vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and phytochemicals know to improve eye and overall health. The first one, Perfect Eyes is specifically for eyes. The next 3 are options for general optimal health. Many people will take cycle these for 1 month each and see and feel which one works best for them.

           Perfect Eyes: 2 capsules 2 times a day This blend is excellent for eye health, especially             Macular Degeneration. This product contains bilberry, eyebright, lutein and other anti-oxidants .

            Super Trio: contains powerful Antioxidants, Omega 3s and a complete balanced vitamin and mineral formula.  1-2 packagse per day, depending on how good your diet is, meaning lots of real food. (See Optimum Diet).

            Thai Go  (Zambroza  in CA : delicious, liquid anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory packed with healing nutrition         

            Grapine High Potency – 40 mg. Proanthocyanidin may be added according to weight

dosage: 1 mg. per pound weight for saturation 10 -14 days, then half this for maintenance

Please ask for Fact Sheets with detailed information for the above suggestions and discuss a program specific to your needs with a qualified natural health practitioner familiar with these supplements. Or contact us at TakeTheNaturalPath@gmail.com for personalized consultation and to order any products.

As with all conditions, clean living, healthy diet, exercise, and reduced stress are all important.

Medical Political Scene

Drug Maker Eli Lilly Suing Canadians for $500 Million

by SumOfUs.org 

Last month, Eli Lilly, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in North America, filed a lawsuit against Canadian taxpayers for $500 million dollars. On what basis is an American corporation suing us for such an outrageous sum you ask? The $4.3 billion dollars Eli Lilly earned in profit in 2011 was not enough for the pharmaceutical giant.

Under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), a company can sue another NAFTA country if that nation’s laws affect its expected future profit. In this case, Eli Lilly is “losing profit” because Canadian regulators dared to act within Canadian laws and rightly denied patents on two of Eli Lilly’s expensive drugs.

These lost-profit lawsuits by profit-hungry corporations have to stop — otherwise, we will see the beginning of copycat lawsuits by foreign companies against Canadians. Speak out now against Eli Lilly and tell it to stop profit-motivated lawsuits like this one.

What can you do? Tell Eli Lilly to drop its ridiculous $500 million dollar lawsuit against Canadians at http://action.sumofus.org/a/eli-lilly/5/5/?akid=2008.

Video Pick: Breastfeeding

 We’ve heard a lot of thoughtful, impassioned arguments from moms who have to defend their rights to breastfeed in public, but we’ve never come across anything quite as powerful as this.

Hollie McNish, a published U.K. poet and spoken word artist, posted a video entitled “Embarrassed” on YouTube on July 4, that slowly but surely became a viral sensation.

McNish’s edgy, rap-like stanzas describe what it feels like to be publicly shamed into hiding out in toilet stalls to breastfeed her daughter.

Are Your Supplements What You Think?

At our recent Canadian Health Convention we had many professionals speaking about the current state of health in North America. The statistics presented by Dr. Melina B. Jampolis, Physician Nutrition Specialist, Dr. Duarte,  Dr. Balas, Dr. Julie deVisser and Dr. Trip were somewhat appalling!

Cancer is on the increase, #1 killer in those under 50 yrs., diabetes and obesity is on the rise, especially in children, and Cardio Vascular disease still being our #1 killer over age 50. ALL of these conditions are preventable. We saw statistics showing the difference that herbs , vitamins, minerals, proper nutrition, exercise and stress reduction can make – HUGE!
All  3 days of presentations confirmed that many of the solutions given are in my book:  The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally. 

Extensive dietary recommendations help people understand how to eat better and improve on all Four Pillars of Health. Recipes are included. Exercise is promoted. Stress reduction and spiritual connections is covered. Understanding why eliminating sugar is critical to optimum health and prevention of all chronic conditions,

Scientific research has demonstrated that taking a multiple-nutrient supplement is more beneficial than taking individual nutrients. It is known that nutrients taken in combination are synergistic, meaning the the individual benefits are enhanced. For this reason, NSP’s Super Trio pack combines daily essential nutrients, including balanced vitamins and minerals, fatty acids, anti-oxidants and herbs that work together for maximum nutritional support.

This one addition has made a huge difference for many people. Find out how you can benefit from adding Super Trio to your life.

Contact us, so we can ensure you get discount of 20-25%, plus FREE S/H anywhere in N.A.

Most people notice a difference within one month, but to really effect change, make a 3-6 month commitment to your better health!

Knowing how important Daily Nutrition is to our health and well being, the article below made me sit up and take note. I was shocked to learn that 60% of the herbal products contained something different than that specified on the label and that only 2 out of the 12 of the companies were authentic.

In other words if you are buying herbal products from companies other than Nature’s Sunshine you do not know what you are getting. Cheaper is not better.  Nature’s Sunshine is a company with a proven track record of over 40 years and it has surpassed any other company of herbal products because it sustains its integrity of quality. Their products are thoroughly tested and they work! With Nature’s Sunshine, you also get the benefit of Service and education!

The alternative herbal market is exploding. I know we are in the right business. If you are thinking of a great business either part time or full time please contact me – we need more of me, as North American health continues to deteriorate. Read this news to understand why we use, and encourage you to use Nature’s Sunshine,  who choose Quality by Design.

 Study: Herbal products omit ingredients, contain fillers 

Consumers of natural health products beware. The majority of herbal products on the market contain ingredients not listed on the label, with most companies substituting cheaper alternatives and using fillers, according to new research from the University of Guelph.

The study, published today in the open access journal BMC Medicine, used DNA barcoding technology to test 44 herbal products sold by 12 companies.

Only two of the companies provided authentic products without substitutions, contaminants or fillers.

Overall, nearly 60 per cent of the herbal products contained plant species not listed on the label.

Researchers detected product substitution in 32 per cent of the samples.

More than 20 per cent of the products included fillers such as rice, soybeans and wheat not listed on the label.

 Medicinal herbs now constitute the fastest-growing segment of the North American alternative medicine market, with more than 29,000 herbal substances sold.
