Menopause: Purge The Surge

I'll have to say I'm impressed.

2007-12-30T12:20:00.000-08:00

I've been using the Balanced Woman Progesterone cream for about 2 months. I never really "expect" to have an "amazing" experience because I'm a pretty healthy person. I eat right, exercises regularly and just plain old pay attention to my body.

It's not what you do see, sometimes it's what you don't see.

I don't keep a calendar. I don't even know what date it is normally. I can tell when I'm going to start my period, not by the date, by the feeling.

It's when people move away from me as I approach
The claws come out
I cry often
I can't hold one thought

So I just know that I'm about "to start"

So Friday I'm in the grocery store and... (sigh) you guessed it. There I was on aisle number 10 now faced with something different than Rigatoni or Spaghetti. My thoughts were, "How many more aisles can I go down before "it" becomes noticeable?" and "If I go to the checkout line right now, will I make it?" and "If I leave now, I'll have to put everything up from my cart and that could take awhile."

I grabbed a box of Rigatoni, made an about face with my shopping cart and flew towards the checkout. It was beautiful, as I'm running with my cart I see a new lane opening and a checkout clerk waving me toward her. I'd made the right decision.

I guess I'll have to look at my calendar more frequently now but it sure beats
becoming "The Predator" 10 days out of the month.

Cancer Scare

2007-12-28T08:47:00.000-08:00

I had the biggest health scare of my life. I certainly feel it is a story I want to share with women all over the world. It is a story that could be life saving. I was 53 and NEVER had a mammogram. In November of 2006 I had my first mammogram. I left the office happy and care free totally expecting to receive a letter from the doctor's office in a few days saying the test was normal and to be retested in 2007.

Then later in that same day after I had the mammogram my phone ring and it was the doctor's office asking if I could be in their office @ 8:30 AM the next morning for a diagnostic mammogram and an ultra sound. They had found THREE tumors in my breast. I was SHOCKED and VERY AFRAID. The rest of the day was filled with lots of praying and wondering what IF.

I had lost my mother in law to cancer in 2002 and the memory was so fresh in my mind. My husband was also shaken by the news and insisted on going to the doctor with me. The doctor examined and examined the tumors through the ultra sound and it seems like I was on the table for an eternity. As she showed me the tumors on the screen and the longer I was on the table the more afraid I became, every negative thought I could think of was racing through my mind.

In conclusion the doctor said there was less than a 1% chance the tumors were malignant.... but she wanted to see me every 90 days. NOW ... my friends I say to you today ... IF I had NOT been using the natural progesterone Balanced Woman formula for the last 10 years ... would those tumors have been malignant? Well ... all I can say is my doctor said she would not say one way or the other BUT she went on to say "Do not ever stop using it"! That was enough for me.

During the last year I have rubbed Balanced Woman directly on the areas of the tumors and with each test through out the year the tumors were smaller at each visit. Last month I finished my series of having a diagnostic mammogram and ultra sound every 90 days in 2007. My last test gave me a clean bill of health and the tumors were TOTALLY GONE!!!

NO woman should take chances with their health. If you are one of those women that say “I don't have any hormonal issues”, then you should use Balanced Woman as a preventative for future health problems. You NEVER know what the future will bring.

Do men have PMS?

2007-12-28T08:09:00.000-08:00

Do men have PMS? My 8 years old granddaughter whispered to me the other day, why is Pop cranky today? I wanted to say … oh don’t pay any attention to him today he must have PMS but since she is only 8 I didn’t want explain what PMS was.

Seriously, years ago there is not a health care specialist anywhere that would come close to saying men suffer health challenges related to mid life changes in their hormone level. Now it is becoming apparent through medical research that men do suffer hormonal changes in their body starting at around 40 to 50 years of age.

New research by Brent Formby, Ph.D. at the Sansum Medical Research Institute in Santa Barbara, CA has uncovered evidence that progesterone may help men with prostate problems. His results showed that progesterone inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cells and that estradiol (estrogen) and dihdrotestosterone (DHT) (bad testosterone) accelerate prostate cancer cell growth.

Each year over 400,000 men in the United States alone undergo prostate surgery and over a billion dollars a year is spent on prostate treatment. Proscar, the leading drug is highly dangerous and according to the United States Veteran's Administration is no more effective than a sugar pill. On the opposite side there are no side effects to using natural progesterone. By the age of 50, 35% of men have cancer cells in their prostate. Odds are 2 to 1 a man will have prostate problems by the time they are 60.

In one of my earlier post I shared with you that our company sponsored many women health seminars all a crossed California with Dr. John Lee as our special guest speaker. Dr. Lee pioneered and blazed the trails for research on natural progesterone cream. I remember as a group of us ate lunch with Dr. Lee at one of our seminars he spent the entire lunch break talking to us about the importance of men using natural progesterone too. It was very interesting and was the beginning of my husband using Balanced Woman.

It should not be forgotten that men benefit from progesterone too. It is important to the functioning of the male counterpart of the uterus, called the prostate gland. The prostate gland can be affected by hormonal imbalance just as well as the uterus can. If men have low progesterone levels their estradiol levels can increase. This increase can lead to cancer of the prostate, just as it leads to breast and uterine cancer in women.

Dr. John Lee spoke about how he found men with elevated PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) levels having decreases of these levels when using progesterone cream daily. There were no progressions of their prostate lesions. Many men who were using their wives progesterone cream also reported that urinary frequency and urgency symptoms of prostate enlargement (BPH had decreased.)

Prostate cancer has been treated by the use of hormone-suppressing drugs that reduce testosterone levels. Many times the treatment benefits last only a few years then the cancer progresses. If unopposed estrogen is known to cause endometrial cancer then why would it not be the cause of prostate cancer, since both these organs originate from the same embryonic cells? Also progesterone inhibits the enzyme that converts testosterone to (DHT), which is known to stimulate prostate cell growth.

Here is another very good reason men should used Balanced Woman. Most people consider osteoporosis to be a “women’s disease,” but according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, twenty percent of those affected by osteoporosis are men. Many studies have shown that progesterone treatment helps replace the bone density that has been lost due to osteoporosis.

Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), the swelling of the prostate commonly known as prostatitis, affects 50 percent of men during their lifetimes. Progesterone treatment has been shown to shrink the prostate, alleviating the painful symptoms of BPH and allowing men to urinate more easily.

Yes, men really do go though menopause … Male Andropause (Male Menopause)

As I said earlier at about ages 40-50, starting even as early as their 30's, men go through a change. The realization hits them - they are aging. Their bodily changes are accompanied by changes in attitudes and moods. During this time men frequently begin to question their values, accomplishments, and life's direction. The entire pattern of these changes has led to the notion of the mid-life crisis.

Health research results show that a mid-life crisis is physical. It's a gradual and subtle shift in hormone production in the male body. Unlike a woman's body, there is no medically defined marker, like a woman's cessation of menstruation, which says a man is in male menopause - andropause. Science has known about andropause since the 1940's, but only recently have there been accessible and easy to administer hormone tests. Now, more than ever, there is interest in men's aging processes. Researchers are learning that letting this male hormone imbalance go untested and untreated can lead to some serious physical health risks. Emotional issues also occur with this imbalance that can add stress to a man's health and well being.

Some of the benefits of men using natural progesterone cream is it alleviates symptoms associated with enlarged prostate and it can enhance libido, improve energy, stamina and endurance.

I encourage anyone reading this information … tell all the men in your life about the importance of using Balanced Woman a natural progesterone cream formulated to the specifications of Dr. John R Lee.

Women Take Control Of Your Hormones

From Jackie Marlin's Blog

Hi Ladies,

My name is Jackie Marlin. I am Media Specialist for a company called Pure Health Trends Network. I've also had a lot of hands on experience with product formulations. This particular product, Pure Health Trends Balanced Women is dear to my heart and I wanted to share my experiences with you.

I was first introduced to nutritional supplements over a decade ago through network marketing. At first I had a very negative opinion of the industry. I felt that the only reason I was hearing so many fabulous testimonials was for one simple reason ... MONEY. In other words the person telling the story about how great the product worked was only motivated by money and not really by results.

You have all heard the stories: "I had arthritis so bad", "I couldn't walk and after drinking the miracle juice for just 3 days ... I could run", "I was blind but now I can see." These kind of stories went on and on. This was very offensive to me. I wanted to help others, not fill them full of false hope all for the sake of making a dollar.

Then in 1996 things begin to change. I was given an audio tape by the chief of surgery at one of the largest hospitals in Indianapolis Indiana. The audio tape was of a live seminar given by Dr. John R. Lee. The information on this tape was short of a miracle for women. The chief of surgery said, "Jackie, IF you can find this formula, I will endorse it." Our product development team went to work and within one month we had found the source to private label the progesterone formula made to the specifications of Dr. John R. Lee. Introducing Balanced Woman

I was only 42 at the time and I suffered with severe cramps so bad I had to take prescription pain medication. Then I would be in bed for two days. Not only that I had severe PMS and horrible mood swings. After using the Balanced Woman formula for one month.... I NEVER took another prescription pain pill and the PMS and mood swings were totally GONE! Can you believe that? Now I had the type of testimonial that used to be offensive to me! But there is still more.

I was so impressed with the results I was receiving I wanted to share it with women all over America. From 1996-1998 we hosted live health seminars on Balanced Woman throughout the state of California with Dr. John R. Lee as our guest speaker. Later we produced Balanced Woman TV Infomercials so we could reach women everywhere. The information and knowledge Dr. Lee shared with our audience was unbelievable. Dr. Lee died several years go but still, to this day, women depend on his books and information to help them balance their hormones and their struggles with menopause.

I am 54 now and have been using the Balanced Woman formula for 12 years. I have gone through menopause without ONE hot flash, night sweat, or mood swing all thanks to the Pure Health Trends Network Balanced Woman. Plus ladies your husband's will LOVE it.
Balanced Woman saves your libido... no loss of sex drive.

We have many faithful Pure Health Trends Network customers using the Balanced Woman formula for over 12 years. For me, that says it all. IT WORKS!!!
