QUESTION:
 
My wife is 49 years old.
My wife had a complete hysterectomy 16 years ago.
She had severe Endometriosis.
She has been using custom formulated hormones for 4 years. ( Both creams & capsules)
She was using Premarin or Estratest til then.
This has kept her from having hotflashes, but has not helped in any other symptom. (libido,etc)
She has had multiple other problems - depression, imsomnia, anxiety, CFS, Fibromyalgia (at one point being almost comatose), etc.
She has overcome a lot after I got her on the Maker's Diet.
Will Balanced Woman help & replace her HRT since she has had a complete hysterectomy?
Thanks, 
John
 
 
ANSWER:
 
Thanks for the question John. I know how you men suffer with us women and our maladies! Smart to go with the Makers Diet. At 49 she is just getting to the best part of living and deserves a nice time while there.
 
I'm assuming by a complete hysterectomy you mean cervix, ovaries, tubes and uterus. Correct me if I'm wrong... Sometimes in having the surgery done there are damages that cannot always be corrected completely. I'm hoping she isn't one of those

Yes, Balanced Woman will help balance the hormones in women who have had surgery in the last four or five years. I can't say longer than that as I have no history of any longer than five years after surgery who have been able to regenerate their hormonal system. I'm not saying it can't happen just that I have no woman clientele who has reported such. But in those who are taking the Liquid Minerals and Balanced Woman it has done wonders. Yes, it can help with some endometriosis pain. We have no history with any woman reporting it correcting endometriosis.  Usually a hysterectomy takes care of endometriosis occurring again since it is uterine tissue that grows out of place in the body due to a hormonal system gone berserk, and her uterus no longer exists? And most usually during surgery the doctor removes any renegade tissue that sits out of place in the body, if they are thorough, which eliminates the problem? Why she is still having it occur is a mystery to me, maybe it was not removed during her surgery? This could also be the fibromyalgia pain that is mimicking endometriosis... Have her give me a call and I will discuss it with her and see if I can ascertain that fact clearly. 928-636-9425
 
The symptoms of depression, insomnia, anxiety, hot flashes, CFS, Fibromyalgia, headaches in some, etc. are normal side effects of a hysterectomy. That usually can be taken care of with the Balanced Woman and Liquid Minerals.

Whether Balanced Woman will correct the libido problem? Maybe yes and maybe no? The number of botched hysterectomies that maim women for life and take away the chance of natural sex drive happening thereafter is staggering... If she is one that had that damage occur her libido may never return... Sadly there are no doctors willing to stand up and admit the scalpel slipped or they misjudged and getting retribution has never been reported successful that I know of... I do know that with the Balanced Woman, Life Transfusion Liquid Minerals and Imperial Qi tea daily, she will most likely see outstanding improvement and most likely total correction of the CFS, fibromyalgia, insomnia and depression, and in just a few short days, as so many women have.  I wish I could say definitely that her sex drive will return but only time will tell with that... With some women who have fibromyalgia requires taking Deep Sleep Formula along with the others to get the proper nightly rest assisting in less painful days...

I hope she opts to try these as they are doing wonders for so many women... She would know in a few short weeks, some had results in days; if it works for her. For her depression she needs the minerals immediately. Depression - severe to mild - is known to happen in a mineral imbalanced body. Have you read The ABC's Of Minerals?

The Balanced Woman is helping a lot of women who have had hysterectomies when taking hormones was not the answer to their symptoms.  Some take 1 capsule three times a day and some require a few more. As with everything in life each person is different but we can work with her in dosages to try and reach a happy plateau...
 
The Imperial Qi is a great herbal liquid and when made into a tea with 2 Tablespoons in 8 ounces of water, either hot or cold, that starts a day off energized and full of nutrients to help balance out the psyche as well Add a slice of lemon for an added zing. I love it

Sincerely,
Lena

PS: A side effect, besides feeling great and having more energy, when daily drinking Imperial Qi tea, is a stronger sex drive in both men and women!

NEVER TOO LATE

Standing at a busy Los Angeles intersection, I once noticed an interesting sight -- a shirtless old man in shorts and jogging shoes running toward me. He was in his seventies, short, with a huge barrel chest. His shoulders were wide and his stomach flat and hard. The skin on his thin arms and legs hung loose. His body glistened with sweat -- he had the appearance of an absolutely committed runner. When he approached the intersection, he continued to jog in place as he waited for the light to change.

I asked him, "Have you been running long?"

He said between breaths, "Today, four hours and twenty minutes."

Wow! Four hours and twenty minutes of running! At his age! He continued, his feet still pounding the concrete, "Some days I run 22 miles. Some days 12 miles."

I asked, "Do you race?"

"Three or four times a year." Maybe he figured he will taper off when he gets old.

I respect his commitment and focus. Because of a total dedication to the sport, he was an excellent runner. And he is living proof that it is never too late to pursue a passion!

Don't we all need something to get excited about? What if we were as focused in our enthusiasm and dedication? What could we do or become if we were as committed to those things we feel are important as he was to running?

You may build your body, but will you also build your mind? You may improve your social standing, but will you also improve your society? You may grow your bank account, but will you also grow your faith? You may build your business, but will you also build your character? You may heal a broken bone, but will you also heal a broken home? You may leave a will to your children, but will you also leave them a legacy?

It's never too late to pursue your passion.

FOOD OF THE WEEK
=================

Is it caulis Or is it borecole?

In some parts of the world green foods are in season or getting ready to pop their green little heads out of the ground waiting to be picked and enjoyed. Those greens are great health foods as well as tasty… Today let's cover two of those healthy nutritious greens!

Some people use these greens interchangeably and accept them as the same green. Kale and collards are similar in many respects, differing in little more than the forms of their leaves. They are, in effect, primitive cabbages that have been retained through thousands of years. The Greeks grew kale and collards, although they made no such distinction between them as we make today. Well before the Christian era the Romans grew several kinds, including those with large leaves and stalks and a mild flavor; a crisp-leaved form; some with small stalks and small, sharp-tasting leaves; a broad-leaved form like collards; and others with curled leaves and a fine flavor. "Coles" were described also in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 13th centuries by European writers.

Kale and collards have remained minor commercial crops in the United States, although collards are the standard winter greens in home gardens of the South. Neither crop thrives in hot weather as it gives the plants a strong, unattractive flavor. Cool growing weather, fall frosts, and mild winters, however, impart a high sugar content and fine flavor.

Kale and Collards are conquering heros of green foods.

"Kale" is often used to decorate produce cases at the grocery store, but would better serve you as a steamed up batch of health building food for you and your family.  Known for its detoxing properties, which is good for cleaning the body of its winter comfort food goop and preparing it to take on the summer BBQ's and beach parties! Kale is often called "borecole," and in America collards are sometimes called "sprouts." "Kale" is a Scottish word derived from coles or caulis, terms used by the Greeks and Romans in referring to the whole cabbage like group of plants. The German word Kohl has the same origin.

"Collards" is a corruption of coleworts or colewyrts, Anglo-Saxon terms literally meaning "cabbage plants." With much the same nutrients as Kale.

These leafy nonheading cabbages bear the Latin name Brassica oleracea variety acephala, the last term meaning "without a head." They have many names in many languages, as a result of their great antiquity and widespread use. Apparently none of the several principal forms of kale and collards that we know today are new. All have been known for at least two thousand years.

All varieties of collards appear rather similar, but the kales show interesting diversity: tall and short; highly curled and plain leaved; blue-green, yellow-green, and red; erect and flat-growing; in various combinations and gradations of these characters.

Both are full of nutrition;
Vitamin C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin,Pantothenic acid, Vitamin B-6, Folate, Folic acid, Folate, Vitamin B-12. Vitamin A, Retinol, Vitamin A and Vitamin E along with minerals such as Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus,Potassium,Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, and Selenium.  Along with important Amino Acids such as; Tryptophan, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Cystine, Phenylalanine , Tyrosine, Valine,  Arginine, Histidine, Alanine, Aspartic acid, Glutamic acid, Glycine, Proline and Serine.
 
Kale and Collards
is one of the best vegetables you can eat as preventative medicine. Touted to help prevent several types of cancer, in particular lung cancer. Each contains more carotenoids (anticancer agents) than just about any other green vegetable.

Leafy greens are officially "in season" in the winter months, but tend to be available year-round. Choose leaves that are crisp and fresh and have a deep green color, with no yellow tinge. Smaller leaves have a milder flavor, can be cooked whole, and often have stems tender enough to eat. With larger leaves, you'll need to cut out and discard the stems, and then chop the leaves into small pieces.

You will want to eat both either raw or cooked. Some of the carotenoids are destroyed during heat, but cooking but at the same time makes more carotene available for bodily use. Collards can be eaten raw but I believe has a better flavor when steamed… Collard greens have a much softer, sweeter taste than kale. When you combine the two greens in the same dish, the mild collard flavor mitigates the sharpness of the kale.
 
An extra half cup a day will give you cancer-blocking benefits.  And smokers, you need to load up on them as it will boost your resistance to developing smoking-related cancers.

Store kale and collard greens in dry plastic bags in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also cook the greens, and store them in the freezer in sealed plastic bags. They'll keep for months, so you can use them spontaneously in soups or casseroles when you don't have time to get to the store.

I grew up with the term "mess o' greens" when we were having them on the dinner table. That's southern speech. Greens of all kinds have been staples in the Southern U.S. Diet for as long as the south has existed, which is where my family resides. In just about every garden there will be an area of all types of greens but kale and collards seem to be the most prolifically grown…

Here is a suggested Kale recipe;
 
My favorite way of eating Kale or Collards and sometimes both mixed is Sautéed in Olive Oil
 
Wash well and dry one bunch of kale (or ½ bunch of kale and 1/2 bunch collards) and chop into bite size pieces. Chop a couple of green onions. Finely chop 2 cloves of garlic. Put one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil into a saute pan heated on medium low.  Throw in kale, onion and garlic and sauté until wilted. I sometimes will add 2 Tablespoons of water and a dash, to taste of hot sauce; cover and simmer until tender. Either way is excellent.

Season with sea salt and squeeze on a little fresh lemon juice or seasoned Rice Vinegar along with those little green pickled peppers.   Serve with fresh sliced tomatoes and hot corn bread!

According to folklore,
collards served with black-eyed peas and hog jowl on New Year's Day promises a year of good luck and financial reward, hanging a fresh leaf over your door will ward off evil spirits, and a fresh leaf placed on the forehead promises to cure a headache.  
Enjoy your green food and expect health!
Lena
