Quote of the Week
In order to change we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired. ~Author Unknown
Being sick and tired are strong motivations of change. Few people I know change because they "see the light". Most people change because they "feel the pain". We are truly blessed that our body has a built-in repair mechanism if given a chance to do its work. Natural medicine is the most non-toxic way to help the body heal itself. Having been trained as a conventional medical physician, I am glad to have switched over to natural medicine, as it is a field in where I see real healing and restoration of the body.
I want you to be smart - see the light. Thousands are doing it today. Read their success stories here.

That's A Good Question!
Question: I am 45 and have had hot flashes for a few years. For the past 2 years the hot flashes have increased to 3-4 times per day. During the night, it is accompanied by stinging skin, itchy skin, odd sensations of blood racing through my legs, face sweats, frequent urination, and insomnia.
My gynecologist recommended Novasure for my adenomyosis. I have a family history of diabetes. Weight is about 125 lbs. Height 5'4".
Are these normal symptoms for menopause or does it indicate something more than menopause? If so, what does it possibly indicate and what course of action is recommended?
Answer: The symptoms you continue to have now, despite the Novasure procedure, may be due to estrogen buildup. The hot flashes are a common symptom of excessive estrogen. Until you lower your estrogen level, your symptoms will likely continue. When you enter menopause, the estrogen level reduces. But you are feeling worse because the hormone that is supposed to go down never went down in relative terms.
I have published an article on this subject: Estrogen Dominance. Your problem is very simple once you understand the reason behind it.

That's A Good Question!
Question:
I have a high lipoprotein a (Lp(a)) of over 85. This was diagnosed about 2 years ago. My doctor put me on niacin. The Lp(a) came down to 45 over a one year period. However, I’m very discouraged as in the past year; the Lp(a) has failed to come down further even after increasing the niacin. My doctor does not have any further suggestions.
Answer:
Niacin reduces the production of lipoprotein a (Lp(a)) in the liver. By doing this, the lipoprotein level will go down. However, until you repair the endothelium of the vascular wall, the liver will always receive a signal to produce Lp(a). As a result, the niacin is a symptomatic approach and does not address the root cause. The best way to bring down the Lp(a) to optimum level (under 14 mg/dl) is through the use of a cocktail mixture of lysine, proline, vitamin C, ascorbyl palmitate, bioflavonoid, and some pine bark extract. This particular cocktail will reduce the endothelial damage. When the endothelium's health is improved, the liver will not need to make lipoprotein A as a repair mechanism surrogate. Therefore, the Lp(a) will normalize nicely.

Special Report
Natural Medicine and Cancer, Part 1 of 6
Over the past 80 years, the war on cancer was fought with 3 tools: surgery (cut), radiation therapy (burn), and chemotherapy (poison). Over the same period, there have been rapid improvements in technology and medical science. As such, one would expect medical treatments and success rates for cancer to rise steadily. But has it? The answer is an emphatic "no"......
