MENOPAUSE<br />
I have been fortunate throughout my life to have kept very good health, so it came as a bit of a shock at the age of 50 to start with hot flushes, night sweats, palpitations and generally feeling &#8216;not really 100%&#8217;.<br />
I was determined not go down the HRT route, and 3 years later, still had not found an effective natural remedy, so had just got used to feeling hot and bothered and very jaded for most of the time.<br />
I was introduced to transfer factors and genistein phytoestrogen blend. Over a period of a couple of months (and it was a relatively gradual process) I am pleased to say that the menopausal<br />
symptoms have all but disappeared. What a relief! An interesting and unexpected side effect &#8212; I no longer get a reaction to bites from mosquitoes and sand flies, which caused me to come up in large, red, itchy swellings that lasted for weeks. Not exactly life threatening that one, but a nuisance none the less. I put that down to a stronger immune system brought about by taking transfer factors. At first I thought that the transfer factors was an expensive product; now I think it to be the best investment I have ever<br />
made for my and my family&#8217;s future health.<br />

MENAPAUSE<br />
During a discussion, my neighbour asked me how I knew I was nearing menopause. I gave her the possible symptoms including &#8220;flying off the handle for no reason&#8221;. This rang a big alarm with her as she<br />
has recently been sending her husband diving for cover with her sudden outbursts. I told her about the genistein phytoestrogen blend and how it might help her. She bought some, and when I saw her three weeks later she said she hadn&#8217;t had a grumpy day since she started them. In fact &#8211; her husband was getting nervous because she was getting close to the bottom of the bottle! She is thrilled with the results &#8211; and needless to say &#8211; so is her husband!! He calls them &#8216;magic&#8217; pills!<br />
B Spraggs</p>
<p>Well what can I tell you from my own story: I had suffered for years with incredibly heavy periods and was getting to the point where I could not leave the house for 3 weeks in a month, it was dreadful, my friend convinced me to go see a specialist and find out if it was normal, it had been like this for years so I thought it was&#8230;.. well away I went to see him, one of Hamilton&#8217;s finest, he could not believe I had put up with all this for so long, he did his normal tests etc&#8230;.. won&#8217;t go into those&#8230;. And said I needed immediate help and I needed a hysterectomy immediately &#8230;. WOW, I was not prepared for that, that is for sure&#8230;.<br />
That was December 2005, I was scheduled for surgery January 15 2006,.. It was all so quick I didn&#8217;t have time to think, I didn&#8217;t really want to go into menopause as I thought I was too young, 49 at the time&#8230;.. after the operation and long story short, my 6 month visit came up, so I went and got the thumbs up all is well&#8230;&#8230;..  so then came the question..<br />
&#8220;So when will I go into Menopause&#8230;. Hot Flushes&#8230; etc etc.. &#8221;</p>
<p>He said I should start to notice the onset within the next month or so&#8230;..  OH NO.. NOT Hot Flushes and all that goes with it&#8230;. I remember my mother going through all that, I did not want that to happen. I braced myself and well guess what&#8230;.. It has not happened&#8230; not a hot flush to be had by me.. not any sign actually&#8230; nothing&#8230; zilch</p>
<p>So why not YOU ask?? It should have happened according to the Doctor..<br />
Easy really, I found out about this product that you have been reading about called Biogenistein, I started taking it about 18 months ago, I take 2 a day&#8230;. I am so well I&#8217;m dangerous, No HOT FLUSHES for ME, None EVER.<br />
Sit back and watch this movie of the world renowed Dr Townsend an Gynecologist Oncologist. email me if you need any help at all gail@ybsick.net How does BioGenistein Plus work?<br />
Each of the components in the BioGenistein Plus formulation are<br />
important. One of the key ingredients, genistein, is particularly<br />
important because it is the most heavily researched of the<br />
phytoestrogens. Genistein has been shown in some cases to support<br />
bone mass health1, support prostate health2, support and maintain<br />
healthy breast tissue3 and help support and maintain heart and artery<br />
health.4 *<br />

<p><br/>MENOPAUSE &#8211; - A Chinese herbal prescription.<br />
Menopause is a defining aging condition for females. It&#8217;s a natural process signifying the end of reproductive ability. Besides physical discomforts, menopause has a significant emotional impact on women. Combined with other stresses, menopause can easily cause a depression. </p>
<p>Nature of menopause:<br />
• It occurs around age 50, earlier for some, later for others.<br />
• The menopause period varies from a few months to a few years.<br />
• During the menopause period, menstruation becomes more and more irregular, until it finally stops altogether.</p>
<p>Symptoms of menopause:<br />
• Hot flashes, especially at night or when not busy<br />
• Sudden mood changes<br />
• High irritability<br />
• Emotional ups and downs.<br />
• Mild depression in some cases.</p>
<p>The right attitude:<br />
• Menopause is a challenge in a woman&#8217;s life.<br />
• Since it&#8217;s a natural process with various disturbances, the best approach is to understand its nature and handle it with coolness and grace.<br />
• Do some gentle exercise everyday.<br />
• Remember to keep busy and get your mind off the symptoms when they flare up. The following are recommended: work on your hobbies, take a walk, see a friend, help someone, etc.<br />
• Don&#8217;t let the symptoms get into your nerves.<br />
• Don&#8217;t let menopause disrupt your normal life. It will pass.<br />
• Don&#8217;t try to fight a natural process with a strange method of human intervention. They may bring adverse side effects.</p>
<p>The classical Chinese approach to menopause is to alleviate the physical symptoms and help the patient sail smoothly through this transition period. An herbal prescription should deliver the following:</p>
<p>1) Calming effect<br />
Xi Yang Shen  ???<br />
Bai Shao  ??<br />
Mai Men Dong ???</p>
<p>2) Cooling effect<br />
Gou Teng  ??<br />
Huang Qin ??<br />
Zhi Mu ??</p>
<p>3) Menstrual balancing<br />
Chuan Xiong  ??<br />
Dang Gui  ??<br />
Di Huang  ??<br />
Chi Shao  ??</p>
<p>4) Enhance blood circulation<br />
Sang Ji Sheng  ???<br />
Niu Xi  ??<br />
A total of 12 herbs are used.</p>
<p>Drink one cup (8 oz) of herb tea a day, preferably daytime. You don&#8217;t need the herb tea for consecutive days. Drinking 10 to 20 cups of herb tea within a month will suffice normally.</p>
<p>This is just one formula with countless variations depending on:<br />
* How accurate the herbalist understands your symptoms<br />
* How does your body respond to the herbs.<br />
* The herbalist cannot shorten your menopause period. With the right herbs,<br />
    the herbalist can make it much easier for you to bear.</p>
