QUESTION:
Hi Lena,
Please I have a very pressing problem that I urgently
need an answer to. I saw my last menses on the 28th
of October through 1st of November and have
not seen another one up till now that I'm writing.
Yesterday I went for a urine test and a scan and was
told I was not pregnant, and was given Promulut N.
pending when I will be ready to go for a test. What
could be responsible for this abnormality and what
should I do to start menstruating again? What is the
function of Promulut N. in the woman's body? Would it be
of any help to me or would it worsen my situation?
I am a 27 year old lady and I'm not in any preventive
medication. Please help me.
Thank you.
GD.
ANSWER:
At 27 this is not totally abnormal... Obviously your
hormone balance is out of kilter or at least may be out
of balance and will need to be brought back into balance
in order to reestablish you monthly menses... This may
just be a temporary situation also as your upcoming
menses could happen this coming weekend... Since you
have actually only missed one menses and you have
established that you are not pregnant it shouldn't be
something you would worry about right now. Some women
miss their menses occasionally without an adverse
reaction. If this continues you will need to take a look
at what you might be doing to create a imbalance in your
hormonal system. I would repeat a pregnancy test in a
couple of weeks just as sometimes in some women the
first six weeks after missing a menses a test can be
negative. With my youngest daughter her first pregnancy
and two pregnancy tests were negative for two months and
she had to have a blood pregnancy test to show she was
actually pregnant. That happens to a few women..
If you are not pregnant several things can cause this to
happen; excessive stress (this most often happens with
death of a loved one), excessive exercise, not eating
enough food or eating too much fast or processed foods,
tumor blocking the uterus and some medications. I don't
know which category you fit into but you don't mention
the doctor finding a tumor blocking the uterus, and that
would have been established when he/she did a pelvic
exam, so that can most likely be ruled out... You need
to take a look at your lifestyle and see which of the
other criteria fits your situation... If none of them do
I would not worry at this time... If you really want to
make sure this doesn't continue to happen you could take
Life
Transfusion Liquid Minerals along with
Balanced
Woman formula, which will balance your hormonal
system along with nourishing the rest of your female
organs... These two have effectively worked to
contribute to those who have difficulty becoming
pregnant as well as those who have irregular menses...
As for the Promulut N function? It is suppose to force
your body to think it just completed your menses and
force a sloughing of the unused eggs in the uterus,
which is what a normal menses is for Sometimes it works
and sometimes it doesn't. It's a chemical and it will
depend on whether your body can assimilate it I've known
it not to work in most women
If an existing habit is creating the problem, isn't
changed, it will do nothing so you will have to
establish whether you have one or more of the above
problems creating this... It does not bring the hormonal
system into balance, which is the most effective form of
returning to a normal flow...
At this point - if none of the above habits/problem
exist in your life - I would say to relax as one missed
period isn't something you should worry about... If
within the next two weeks you do not begin again then
you should at least try the above natural suggestions
for a few months and give your hormonal system a
balancing... Some women take them on a constant basis in
order to balance their hormones consistently...

SO YOU MADE A
MISTAKE?
The
obituary editor of a city newspaper was not one
who would admit his mistakes easily. One day, he
got a phone call from an irate subscriber who
complained that her name just appeared in the
obituary column. "Really?" was the calm reply.
"Where are you calling from?"
There is no shame in making mistakes. They are
an important and necessary part of learning.
A young man came in for an interview with his
manager. "Tell me," the young man asked her,
"how did you become so successful?"
"Two words," she said.
"And what are they?"
"Right decisions."
He asked, "How did you make right decisions?"
"One word -- experience."
"And how did you get experience?"
"Two words," she said.
"And what are they?"
"Wrong decisions."
In order to profit from our mistakes, we have to
get out and make some. And so long as we keep
making different ones each time, we're learning
and growing!
Are you feeling badly about a mistake you
recently made? Then decide what you will do
differently next time, make amends if necessary,
forgive yourself and move on.
Are you afraid of taking a necessary risk for
fear of making a mistake? Remember, even poor
choices can be marvelous opportunities for
learning. For it is through those wrong
decisions that we will
learn to make right decisions.
So make those mistakes. Make them boldly! In the
end, they will make you better. And if you make
enough, you'll become the best you can be!
=================
FOOD OF THE WEEK
=================
Bad breathe or just the food you ate?
The food this week is the ever popular and most consumed vegetable, the
onion. Comes in many sizes, shapes and colors along with a second hand
odoriferous offensive smell! "It's not good for your friends, but it is
good for your health," said the lead researcher, Dr. Rui Hai Liu, a
chemist in The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry department of
food science.
The bulbous onion and its numerous relatives belong to a flower family
namely the Lily family. How can something so smelly come from a flower
family? I don't have the answer but that is a good question! Nature is a
mystery in a lot of areas and this is one of those!
Some of these alliums are distinctly ornamental; a few others, notably
garlic, leek, Welsh onion, and chive, are common vegetables. All of the
edible forms have related flavors and odors that are due principally to
a volatile, irritating substance.
The word "onion" comes from the Middle English unyun, from the French
oignon, which came in turn from the Latin unio, meaning "onion." Ancient
names for this plant in Sanskrit, Hebrew, Greek, and Latin are
apparently unrelated, indicating widespread culture of onions from
prehistoric times.
Onions can be divided into two categories: spring/summer fresh onions
and fall/winter storage onions.
Spring/summer fresh onions are available in yellow, red and white
throughout their season, March through August. Fresh onions can be
identified by their thin, light-colored skins. Because they have a
higher water content, they are typically sweeter and milder than storage
onions. This higher water content also makes them more susceptible to
bruising.
With their delicate taste, fresh onions are an ideal choice for salads
and other fresh and lightly-cooked dishes.
Fall/winter storage onions are available August through April. Also
available in yellow, red, purple and white, storage onions have multiple
layers of thick, dark, papery skins. Storage onions have an intense
flavor and a higher percentage of solids.
Storage onions are the best choice for savory dishes that require longer
cooking times or more flavor.
Onions are low in calories yet add abundant flavor to a wide variety of
foods. Averaging about 30 calories per serving, onions are sodium, fat,
and cholesterol free, and provide dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6,
potassium, and other key nutrients.
Mild sweet onions varieties are:
Spanish onions: known for their mild and delicately sweet flavor.
Bermuda onions: another category of mild onions that come in red,
white, or yellow.
Walla-Walla Sweet onions: originally came from Corsica at the
beginning of the 20th century and arrived in Walla-Walla, Washington
where they are grown today.
Texas Sweets: available mid spring through early summer.
Research shows that onions may help guard against many chronic diseases.
That's probably because onions contain generous amounts of a flavonoid
called quercetin. Other sources are tea and apples, but research shows
that absorption of quercetin from onions is twice that from tea and more
than three times that from apples. Studies have shown that quercetin
protects against cataracts, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
In addition, onions contain a variety of other naturally occurring
chemicals known as organosulfur compounds that have been linked to
lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
In Chinese medicine, globe onions (allium cepa) are said to calm the
liver, moisten the intestines, and benefit the lungs. Raw onions are
prescribed for constipation, for lowering high blood pressure, and for
healing wounds or ulcers of the skin. Spring onions, or scallions (allium
fistulosum), are used to induce sweating. One application for the common
cold is to take 20 spring onions and simmer them with rice to make
porridge. Add a little vinegar and eat while it is warm. Then wrap
yourself up in blankets to induce sweating. Works like a charm, but is
it the onion rice soup or the sweating?
Some health studies have shown raw onions to be effective in lowering
overall cholesterol while raising HDLs, the good cholesterol.
Additionally, onions kill infectious bacteria, a help in controlling
blood sugar, aid in dissolving blood clots, and help to prevent cancer.
Onions were used extensively by the ancient Egyptians, as shown by
drawings and inscriptions on their monuments. The Bible states that
during the wanderings of the Israelites in the wilderness, they longed
for the onions, leeks, and garlic they had had in Egypt.
In the first century many varieties of onion were known: long, round,
red, yellow, white, strong, and mild kinds. For a time in the Middle
Ages it appears that the onion was less popular than leek and garlic,
while now the reverse is true.
The onion was introduced by the Spanish into the West Indies soon after
their discovery. From there it soon spread to all parts of the Americas.
Onions were grown by the earliest colonists and soon afterward by the
Indians.
The Welsh onion - A. fistulosum - never forms a rounded bulb-only
one to several long white scallions. This form is most popular in the
Orient, but is grown almost everywhere. In Japan it is often incorrectly
called "Japanese leek."
One form of onion, the so-called Egyptian tree onion, or top onion,
produces "sets" - tiny bulbs - at the top of the stalk instead of
flowers and seeds.
The leek - A. porrum- like the Welsh onion, forms only a cylindrical
instead of a rounded bulb. The leaf of the leek, however, is flattened
and solid, while the leaf of the onion is cylindrical and hollow.
In the first century the Romans considered that the best leeks came from
Egypt, where they had been known in earliest Biblical times. The Emperor
Nero is reported to have been nicknamed Porrophagus because of his
inordinate appetite for leeks. He imagined that frequent eating of leeks
improved his voice! He could have right!
In the 6th century the Welsh won a victory over the Saxons and
attributed their success to the leeks they wore to distinguish
themselves in battle. What a smelly fight that must have been!
"Know your onions" was a term coined in the 1920s to indicate that the
many varieties of onions that were cultivated over the years never
acquired standardized names from one locale to another.
Leeks have been common all over Europe for as long as we have
records of food plants. In America, by 1775, they were cultivated by the
Indians as well as the colonists.
Chive - A. schoenoprasum - is an Old World plant now found wild
in modern Italy and Greece. It is believed to be native to the eastern
Mediterranean. The word "chive" is an Old French form of the French cive,
derived from the Latin cepa, meaning "onion." Grown for hundreds of
years in European gardens and in the British Isles.
The chive has beautiful blue flowers, but they produce no seed. It is
propagated by planting the bulbs, which increase in number each year,
forming dense clumps.
You can see that onions are not common and many types exist for our
eating pleasure!
Onions add flavor to all types of foods while adding healthy nutrients.
Eat and enjoy!
