Female-specific Conditions Featuring a New Look at Menopause
(The Secret Revealed)
Part 3
(The following is a quoted excerpt, pages 148-149, from the Book The Great Health Heist © by Paul Rosen J.D.,L.Ac. Published by Warren Publishing, Inc.)
Conventional medicine teaches that women struggle with menopause due to hormone deficiency. And over decades, medical doctors have been supplied with drugs provided by the pharmaceutical industries. These same drugs have finally been shown for what they are, hazardous to your health!
Then there are bio-identical hormones which, while possibly less risky, often miss the mark. Why? Because the overwhelming cause of hot flashes, night sweats, sleeplessness, anxiety, overactive bladder and so on is an imbalanced endocrine system as a whole. And this, too, is fact!
The endocrine system includes the ovanes as well as the pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands. In my clinic, I successfully handle the most persistent menopausal cases by providing safe, natural and effective nutritional programs geared toward adrenal and kidney repair. This is my secret revealed! FACT
Menopause is not a disease to be feared. It is a normal transition in the lives of mature women. If you struggle with symptoms, you need to know that hidden health problems are likely to be the cause of your distress and anxiety. Once you discover what they are, you can find relief without drugs and surgery. I know this and I am dedicated to making it known to others.
These were places where women didn't eat processed sugar and foods containing preservatives, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. They consumed whole, fresh foods and, interestingly, experienced little or no difficulty with menopause.
It's difficult to buck the "menopause fear" system. Especially since it was created by the conventional healthcare system you have been taught to rely on. However, if you are suffering symptoms despite doing everything your practitioner has recommended, you owe it to yourself to reexamine your assumptions.
I define insanity as doing the same thing while expecting to get a different result. It's just not possible. You have to make a change because any symptom, no matter how minor, should be heeded. The human body is not a "whiner;" it does not complain needlessly. When it's telling you something, it's best to listen. Find the "missing piece" in your personal health picture and enjoy a symptom-free transition through menopause.
Consider the story of "VP," who did experience hot flashes, found a food sensitivity using Nutrition Response Testing and well, let her tell you the rest:
"I had been feeling very well since beginning my [Nutrition Response Testing) program .... having eliminated back and shoulder pain, headaches, etc. But my hotflashes and night sweats were still a problem. One food that 1 really enjoyed and tended to eat too much of (snacking on them throughout the day) was cashews. After being tested for and advised to stop eating them: Bingo! One day later my hotflashes had totally disappeared and have not returned."
Remember that this book is all about "stealing your health back." That includes not only paying attention to your own body's signals, but also to the results of your treatment. Question all the assumptions, including whether the hormone replacement theory is correct. If you're still experiencing any menopausal symptoms despite prior treatment, know there is a hidden health problem'.
Another former patient of mine, "CJ," put it this way:
"I began to have severe menopausal symptoms starting about a year ago. The hot flashes during the day and the night sweats during sleep were terrible. I remembered how my mother suffered during her climacteric and how many years it took before she was over these problems. I asked my longtime acupuncturist, Paul Rosen, to help me lessen these menopausal symptoms. He started me on a [Nutrition Response Testing) program in which I use a special herbal treatment along with a diet plan. I began to feel much better within a week. The night sweats and hot flashes are pretty much gone and I sleep comfortably every night... "
