What Your Doctor May Not Tell Your About Menopause
Not Tell Your About Menopause ~ breakthrough book by Dr. John Lee
about Natural Progesterone therapy. Women have traditionally used estrogen supplements to protect against osteoporosis and heart disease, but women who use estrogen for more than five years have a 46% higher risk of breast cancer than women who don't use it. Natural progesterone creams can actually rebuild bone tissue without the side effects of estrogen. Natural progesterone, the same hormone produced by a woman's ovary, is made from naturally occurring plant steroids found in wild yam and other natural sources. It is NOT the synthetic version that is commonly purchased as tablets with a prescription (such as Provera), which can produce severe side effects including increased risk of cancer, abnormal menstrual flow, fluid retention, nausea, and depression.

Barleygreen. Some ten years ago, a personal friend of ours, J.P. from Pittsburg, had lung cancer. He'd had one lung removed and then cancer was discovered in the other lung... they wanted to do more chemo and they gave him about 6 months to live. He chose instead to do the Gerson method, and ten years later, he's still here and healthy (tho' with only one lung he has to be careful about allergens and air pollution). This dietary program is rigorous, but it worked for him, and he's a real person that we know. (Call me a skeptic, but I always wonder if those testimonials are real or not!) Important! - these methods don't always work for everyone! Explore ALL your options, including traditional medical methods!
- Dr. Day ~ This M.D. cured herself of cancer with diet. Impressive pictures of her tumor.

I'll tell you exactly how I did it!" Her videos for sale tell:
- Why what you put in your mouth determines whether you're sick or well.

- Reiki homepage ~ a method of natural healing based on the application of Universal Life Force Energy (the name literally means Universal Life Force Energy)
- Hydrazine Sulfate ~ Fighting the Energy Drain of Cancer. People die from the energy loss, malnutrition, weakness, and wasting away that cancer causes. This wasting, called cachexia, is accompanied by weight loss, muscle and tissue breakdown, and debilitation, and is associated with opportunistic infections and organ failure. Cachexia results from abnormal metabolism. Unlike healthy cells, which use oxygen to extract energy from glucose and produce CO2 and water as byproducts, most cancer cells have a different method of breaking down glucose for energy. An end product of cancer cells' energy cycle, which takes place in the absence of oxygen, is copious amounts of lactic acid, which enters the bloodstream, is taken up by the liver and kidneys, and -- with the expenditure of a great deal of energy -- is converted back into glucose. The glucose then returns to the cancer cells, which use it for energy and produce more lactic acid, perpetuating the energy drain cycle. Because cancer cells require 10 to 15 times more glucose than normal cells, insufficient glucose is left for the energy needs of normal cells, and they essentially starve. Hydrazine sulfate, an inexpensive chemical, blocks an enzyme necessary for the conversion of lactic acid back into glucose. A different concept in cancer treatment, the tumor is not being attacked, it's just being deprived of energy. Hydrazine sulfate has been used by thousands of desperate cancer patients over the past 25 years with remarkable results. Although it has in some cases caused complete remission of cancer, hydrazine sulfate is primarily an anti-cachexia drug. Studies demonstrated improvements in appetite, weight gain, maintenance of albumin, energy levels, quality of life and, in terminal patients, survival time. It also appears to relieve the side effects of chemotherapy, and especially radiation therapy.
