"The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once
from the disease and once from the medicine." William Osler, M.D.
"The cause of most disease is in the poisonous drugs
physicians superstitiously give in order to effect a cure." Charles E.
Page, M.D.
"If all the medicine in the world were thrown into the sea,
it would be bad for the fish and good for humanity."
O.W. Holmes, (Prof. of Medicine Harvard University)
"Every drug increases and complicates the patients
condition." Robert Henderson, M.D.
"In sickness the body is already loaded with impurities. By
taking drug - medicines more impurities are added, thereby the case is further
embarrassed and harder to cure." Elmer Lee, M.D.
"The necessity of teaching mankind not to take drugs and
medicines, is a duty incumbent upon all who know their uncertainty and injurious
effects; and the time is not far distant when the drug system will be
abandoned." Charles Armbruster, M.D.

| Menopause is a medical term
for the permanent cessation of the primary reproductive functions of the human
ovaries such as the ripening and releasing ova and hormones that help both the
creation of the uterine lining and the subsequent shedding of the uterine lining
called the menses or the woman's period. Menopause normally occurs in the
midlife of women around their late 40s or early 50s, and it signals the end of
the fertile part of a woman's life.
The transition from reproductive to non-reproductive results from a minor
reduction in female hormonal production by the ovaries. This transition is
normally not sudden or abrupt, tends to occur over a period of years, and is a
natural consequence of aging. However,
for some women, the accompanying signs and effects that can occur during the
menopause transition years can disrupt their daily activities and also their
sense of well-being. In addition, women who have some sort of functional
disorder affecting the reproductive system (endometriosis,
polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian
cancer can go into menopause at a younger age than the normal timeframe. The
functional disorders often significantly speed up the menopausal process and
create more significant health problems, both physical and emotional, for the
affected woman. |

The word "menopause" means the "end of monthly
cycles" from the Greek word pausis (cessation) and the root men
means "month", because the word "menopause" was created to
describe this change in human females, where the end of fertility is indicated
by the permanent stopping of monthly menstruation or menses. But menopause also
exists in some other animals, many of which do not have monthly menstruation; in
this case, the term means a natural end to fertility that occurs before the end
of the natural lifespan. The date of menopause in human females is medically
defined as the time of the last menstrual period or menstrual flow of any amount
in women who have not had a hysterectomy.
Women with their uterus removed but have their ovaries do not immediately go
into menopause, even though their periods cease. Adult women who have their
ovaries removed however, go immediately into menopause, no matter what their age
is.
Menopause is an unavoidable change that every woman will experience, assuming
she reaches middle age and beyond. It is helpful if women are able to learn what
to expect and what options are available to assist the transition, if that
becomes necessary. Menopause has a wide starting range, but can usually be
expected between 42–58 years old. An early menopause can be related to
cigarette smoking, higher body mass
index, racial and ethnic factors, illnesses, chemotherapy, radiation and the
surgical removal of the uterus and/or both ovaries.
Menopause can be officially stated in an adult woman who is not pregnant, is
not lactating, and who has an intact uterus when there has been amenorrhea
(the absence of any menstruation) for one complete year. However, there are many
signs and effects that lead up to this point, many of which may extend well
beyond it too. These symptoms include: irregular menses, vasomotor instability
(hot flashes and night sweats), atrophy of genitourinary tissue, increased stress,
breast tenderness, vaginal dryness, forgetfulness, mood changes, and in certain
cases osteoporosis and/or heart
disease. These effects are related to the hormonal changes a woman’s body is
going through, and they affect each woman to a different extent. The only sign
or effect that all women have in common is that by the end of the menopause
transition every woman will have a complete cessation of menses.

You would not think of exposing yourself to an Atomic Bomb fallout or
excessive X-rays. But not getting enough vitamins and minerals is just as
dangerous. Cells in your body not getting their vitamins and minerals suffer
both DNA and mitochondrial damage. These cells under a microscope look like they
have been hit with radiation. This type of damage may cause you to age faster
and can lead to Cancer
and other degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and others.
