PRODUCTS FOR MENOPAUSE RELIEF

TRUEBLUE CORAL CALCIUM
Coral contains every mineral -- 73 minerals -- in a composition almost exactly that of the human skeleton. The mineral composition is important because they work synergistically as each mineral does its part to keep the body functioning in peak performance. The coral used in the TrueBlue Coral Capsules is ECO SAFE. By only using coral from above-sea level deposits on the islands of Okinawa, living reefs are protected. More important, coral from above the water line is free from the heavy metals and other toxins that industrialized society has dumped into the oceans. Available in capsules or powder.

Note from Carol: I use the powder form, which I add to a bottle of M-Water treated purified water, which creates a mineral rich ionized water that I sip all day long. My nails have never been stronger or thicker. I also eat a lot of calcium rich green foods, whole raw almonds and other nuts and low-fat organic cottage cheese, which are food sources of calcium (PDF Reader required).

If so, you may be experiencing symptoms of premenopause. Even if you're a decade or more away from menopause, your hormones may already be out of balance, usually caused by an excess of estrogen and a deficiency of progesterone, say the authors of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause. John Lee, M.D., is a well-known advocate of the benefits of natural progesterone and the author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause. Jesse Hanley, M.D., adds sensitivity to the emotional and spiritual aspects of premenopause. The authors recommend natural progesterone cream to balance your hormones, eliminate premenopausal symptoms, and make you feel better.

According to Christiane Northrup, M.D. (Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom), menopause often marks the beginning of a woman's most sexually passionate, creatively inspired, and professionally productive phase of life. While this may sound like wishful thinking, Northrup backs up her good news with solid medical expertise. As an obstetrician and gynecologist, Northrup has specialized in using a mind-body approach to women's health for decades, which means she doesn't just write about hormones, but also examines how a woman's lifestyle, emotions, and beliefs are affected by menopause. With the right diet, attitude, and perhaps some supplements along the way, women can actually look forward to a resurgence of energy and a revolutionary opportunity for personal growth--one that rivals the hormonally driven period of adolescence in its scope and urgency, she claims. And yes, at just under 500 pages, The Wisdom of Menopause does explain how to have a positive and healthy menopause in concise detail.
