Don't Risk Cardiovascular Problems, Breast Cancer, Liver Dysfunction, and Hormonal Imbalance Symptoms!

If this blog explains the risks of cardiovascular problems, breast cancer, liver dysfunction, and hormonal imbalance symptoms, these are side effects due to identical hormone replacement. As I have mentioned, the supposed surgical treatment where subcutaneous pellets are inserted to balance hormones has a side effect of hormonal imbalance symptoms. If you know someone with hormonal issues, please share this blog.

Today, I denounce the surgical procedure of identical hormone replacement. Yes, you heard

correctly; this identical hormone replacement is not natural, it is not true that it is risk-free, and I

will tell you the side effects. As usual, I will provide information on how to combat menopause

issues with natural substances.

The advertisements say: "The Natural and Non-Invasive Approach to Balancing Your Hormones."

Today, I expose those who claim this procedure is " natural"; and without side effects.

The term "natural" is frequently used to suggest that a procedure or product is inherently safer, more

holistic, or better for the body compared to synthetic or highly processed alternatives.

Specifically, we will examine the substances used in the inserted pellets and the potential side

effects associated with their use. Substances in the Inserted Pellets In the context of hormonal balancing procedures, "natural" often refers to bioidentical hormones. Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those produced naturally by the human body. The most commonly used bioidentical hormones include estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone.

• Estradiol: A form of estrogen, a hormone that regulates many processes in the female body.

• Progesterone: Another key hormone in the female reproductive system, crucial for regulating menstruation and pregnancy.

• Testosterone: Although predominantly known as a male hormone, it is also essential for women in small amounts to maintain muscle mass, bone density, and libido.

These hormones are generally derived from plant sources such as soy and yams, which contain

compounds chemically altered to produce bioidentical hormones. Despite their plant origins, the

final product is a highly processed drug. Regarding Non-Invasive Nature The term "non-invasive"; is somewhat misleading. Although the procedure to insert hormonal pellets is minimally invasive compared to major surgery, it still involves a minor surgical

procedure. A small incision is made, usually in the hip or buttock area, through which the pellets

are inserted subcutaneously. The incision is then closed with adhesive strips or sutures.

Side Effects of Hormonal Pellets

Despite the "natural" label, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is not without

potential side effects. The side effects can vary depending on the individual's response to the

therapy, the dosage, and the specific hormones used. Common side effects include:

1. Skin Reactions: Redness, swelling, or infection at the insertion site.

2. Hormonal Imbalance Symptoms:

o For women: Breast tenderness, spotting, cramps, or mood swings.

o For men: Increased red blood cell count, acne, or mood swings.

3. Cardiovascular Risks: Increased risk of blood clots, strokes, and heart disease,

particularly with estrogen or testosterone therapy.

4. Breast Cancer Risk: Prolonged exposure to high estrogen levels has been linked to an

increased risk of breast cancer.

5. Liver Dysfunction: Although rare, there may be adverse effects on liver function.

Conclusion

The use of "natural" in the marketing of hormonal balancing procedures can be misleading.

Although the hormones used in the pellets are bioidentical and derived from natural sources, the

final product is far from unprocessed. Additionally, the procedure to insert the pellets, while

minimally invasive, involves a surgical component. The potential side effects, ranging from

minor skin reactions to serious cardiovascular and cancer risks, underscore the need for careful

consideration before undergoing such treatments. Understanding the full implications of

"natural" in this context is essential for making informed health decisions.

Menopause

Menopause is the transitional phase in a woman's life when her menstrual cycle and the ability to

bear children come to an end. It lasts approximately one to three years. During menopause,

menstrual flow first becomes irregular, decreases, and finally ceases altogether. When there has

been no menstrual bleeding for one year, the menopausal transition is complete.

Menopause results from the body's decreasing production of female sexual and reproductive

hormones, which begins sometime after age 42. Strictly speaking, a menopausal woman is not

ill. However, poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, and other factors can aggravate the symptoms

and discomforts associated with the changes occurring in her body.

During menopause, a woman may become more emotionally sensitive, experience headaches,

stomach pains, nosebleeds, frequent bruising, varicose veins, extreme fatigue, and insomnia.

Other possible issues include night sweats, dryness or pain during intercourse, and sudden blood

flow resulting in "hot flashes." If such symptoms persist or if the discomfort is significant, it is

time to use some natural treatment.

Risks of Oral Hormones

• Blood clots

• Cardiovascular events, including stroke and heart attack

• Certain types of breast cancer

• Gallbladder disease

• Side Effects In addition to risks, hormone therapy can also cause some side effects. When considering whether this is a good treatment for you, it is important to realize that you may experience any of the following symptoms when taking estrogen and/or progesterone:
  

• Breast tenderness or swelling

• Irregular bleeding
  

• Bloating

• Headaches

• Nausea

• Mood changes

Since your risk depends on your personal combination of risk factors, it is important to carefully

consider this decision.

Avoid hormone therapy if you:

• Are pregnant or think you might be pregnant

• Have unexplained or irregular vaginal bleeding

• Have (or have had) breast cancer or uterine cancer

• Have a history of heart attack or stroke

• Have a history of blood clots

• Have liver disease

Local irritation or allergic reactions to the method of administration (vaginal ring, skin patch,

cream) can also occur. Depending on how harmful menopause symptoms are, hormone side

effects may discourage you from using medicinal drugs; natural medicine without side effects is

better.

Proper Diet for Menopause

1. A generally healthy diet. This means using fresh foods as close to their natural,

unprocessed state as possible. Avoid processed and prepackaged foods. A healthy diet

includes leafy greens, whole grains, fruits, and proteins with minimal animal fat. Keep

consumption of sugary foods and refined carbohydrates like processed flours and grains,

white bread, and rice to a minimum. For more information on a healthy diet, listen to our

Healthy Diet program (number 343).

2. Ensure sufficient high-quality protein. Replace red meat with fish and chicken as much

as possible, and include beans, nuts, and seeds in the diet.

Therapeutic Foods:

 Black beans, sesame seeds, soybeans, nuts, blackberries, yams, licorice, lotus seeds,

chrysanthemum flowers

 Estrogenic foods: animal products, apples, cherries, olives, plums, carrots, yams, peanuts,

soy products, coconut, brown rice, barley, oats, wheat

Fresh Juices:

 Carrot, celery, spinach, and parsley

 Carrot and spinach

 Carrot, beet, lettuce, and turnip

Herbs for Menopause

1. Dong Quai, a Chinese herb also called Angelica sinensis, is one of the most effective

herbal tonics for female organs and a hormonal regulator. To avoid stomach discomfort, it

is best to take Dong Quai as a tincture, which is a liquid herbal extract, combined with

other herbs like licorice and comfrey. The usual dose is 15 to 25 drops of the liquid herbal

extract per day in a small amount of water or juice.

2. Ginseng root can be used to relieve hot flashes. It also helps to balance hormones. Take

1 standard dose twice a day (see product label). Chewing a piece of the root as needed is

helpful. Daily doses of vitamin C enhance the effect of ginseng. However, ginseng and

vitamin C should be taken at different times of the day. Ginseng should be taken on an

empty stomach.

3. Motherwort (Leonurus) – 5 to 20 drops of the tincture in a glass of water. It can be

quite bitter if taken as tea. It is especially good for vaginal dryness.

Homeopathy

From the following homeopathic remedies, choose the one that best matches your symptoms.

Dissolve 3 granules under the tongue.

 Lachesis 12C: For a woman who is overly sensitive to touch or finds tight clothing

uncomfortable. She is very talkative and feels worse after resting. Take 2 times a day.

 Sepia 12C: For a woman who is cold, easily depressed, and prefers to be alone. She

experiences sudden hot flashes with weakness and sweating. Take 2 times a day.

Note: A wide range of homeopathic remedies can be helpful for women during menopause.

Consulting a health professional trained in homeopathic prescription will generally be the best

way to select the correct remedy.

Additional Measures for Menopause Include:

1. Exercise – It is important to exercise regularly. At least 30 minutes 3 times a week should

be dedicated to physical activities that get the heart moving, such as brisk walking,

aerobics, swimming, or tennis.

2. Acupuncture has been found to be quite useful for relieving the negative symptoms

associated with menopause. Look for a licensed practitioner in your area.

The Following Supplements Are Used for Menopause and Can Be Taken Until Symptoms

Improve:

1. Vitamin E – 600 Units daily. Vitamin E normalizes estrogen levels. Cold-pressed wheat

germ oil is one of the best sources.

2. Vitamin B6 – 100 milligrams per day.

3. PABA – Up to 60 milligrams per day.

4. Folic Acid – 5 milligrams per day.

5. Pantothenic Acid – 100 milligrams per day.

6. Vitamin A – 25,000 Units per day.

7. Vitamin C – 1,000 milligrams per day.

8. Vitamin B Complex – 50 milligrams per day.

9. Seaweed – Up to 5 tablets or 1 teaspoon of granules daily.

10. Zinc – 15 milligrams per day can help relieve depression and mood swings.

11. Betaine Hydrochloride – 1/8 teaspoon, 3 to 4 times a day with meals. It aids in digestion

and mineral absorption. Due to the acidity of betaine hydrochloride, do not use it if you

are experiencing heartburn or "acid indigestion."
