Concerned about HRT? Want an alternative?

Concerned about HRT? Want an alternative?

05/31/03

America's National Health Institute has found that using HRT doubles the risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease. The same body last year found HRT increases the risk of heart attack, breast cancer and stroke.

Not good news for the 55 million women now entering or already in menopause. But read on.

Consider that the HRT's are an extreme answer to an extreme problem. This "problem" is the constellation of health issues that surround menopause - hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue and low libido? And of course a woman's risk of heart disease and osteoporosis. Consider now that these health issues are NOT NORMAL! Women have accepted them as ordinary and usual along with troublesome, annoying and anxiety provoking...but they are not normal or even necessary.

Women live out their lives from childhood on under extreme stress. By the time they enter peri-menopause their hormone production is wheezing under the strain of having to produce gallons of cortisol, adrenalin and insulin - just to name a few of her hormones other than estrogen and progesterone. Her reproductive hormones have always been considered last - both by her and by Mother Nature. After all - why would Mother Nature, in all her wisdom, want a stressed out, overworked, fatigued, moody woman to bear children? Perhaps this state of "hormonal malnutrition" is why we have such high rates of infertility, PMS and eventually symptomatic menopause. Maybe our reproductive hormones are paying the price for all our stress expenditures!

Is there an answer? Is it too late? Do we have to risk our health and use HRT? The answers are "yes", "no" and "no".

While there is no one simple answer for hormonal problems we do have a key that fits the keyhole. When maca was first used for fertility in the high altitudes of the Andes Mountains it was an accident. It just so happens that maca was the only food around in one of the mountainous regions. It was noted that the people who lived there, and their livestock, were able to reproduce without problems. Other Andeans soon began buying maca and using it to conceive and to increase their herds. Why did this herb work? The maca plant is densely nutritious. It tells the body to produce it's own hormones rather than trying to replace them with an outside source (such as a phytoestrogen like Black cohosh, or medication like HRT). So the body gets its own hormones because it thinks it's eating right -and it is! Maybe for the first time!

It wasn't until 1960 that the active ingredients in maca were studied. It was discovered that the maca plant contained some very unique properties. Soon MD's in Lima were giving it to women for infertility and menopause hot flashes. The results were wonderful. In the 1990's maca was brought to the United States and in 1997 Stephanie Smith began introducing it to the medical community here. Since then, through the efforts of Medicine Plants, maca has been presented at the United Nations and the American Psychiatric Association for consideration as an alternative to medications.
