Today's question is a question I am getting often now and has not appeared in the newsletter for sometime so will publish the new one for your enlightenment, just in case you know someone who has this problem.

The answers to questions submitted to me each week come from my 20+ years as a Medical Office Nurse along with many years and ongoing education in nutritional and alternative treatment modes. Add that to many years of friendship with Dr. Wayne Garland, a very knowledgeable naturopath and herbologist, who many years ago, beat his cancer death sentence given by the traditional medical world, has helped along the alternatives path and hopefully help to give hope to those who need it... Also receiving a lot of study reports and try to ascertain if they are good or bad then report them to you, which has increased my knowledge along the way and I pass them on to you to use or not...

I am not a doctor or dentist and you should not think of me as one!!
My years observing life and health of the many people/patients around me and the contradictions of the traditional medical world's idea of treating - prescription domino effect - while watching those same schooled methods that aren't relieving illness but creating far more health problems than they help. Those same medical professionals aren't telling people how to get healthy or how to prevent illness, which led me to look for something to change that premise for myself and those around me. In looking outside the Westernized medical profession I found and continue to find alternatives that really work to create health and longevity - when adhered to - beyond anything the traditional medical world can do...

Not to be used in place of your judgment but in  addition to... Even though I daily watch people become healthy with the information imparted here nothing works 100% of the time for 100% of people...

I have always felt that I had to know all sides to a problem and then make a decision for myself and I hope that will be your attitude as well!

QUESTION:
 
My friend says you are great at helping people that you have helped her a lot and I'm hoping you can do the same for me. She remembers a newsletter that you answered a gal about her hairy body, but I can't find it in your archives so I'm asking again. I'm 39 years old and feel like I'm becoming an ape with all the hair now growing on my body. My doctor has not been able to give me an explanation as to why and wrote me a prescription for a steroid medication without telling me why I need it. I have not filled that prescription. I've also noticed a slow weight gain over the last couple of years, no matter what I do I can't drop it and continue to gain. I'm doing the diet and exercise yet the weight slowly climbs. At the moment I'm about fifteen pounds over my ideal weight. Can you give me an idea how to stop the hairy body and weight gain? From all the newsletters I've read your answers always seem to make sense so can you help me?
 
Patricia L.

 
ANSWER:
 
Well, Patricia I can only help you if you follow my advice. I am going to give you the same answer I gave Rosa and the many other women who keep asking this.
 
The excess hairy problem actually has a diagnosis: Hirsutism and sadly no answers truly exist among the conventional medical world, as they have no drug to alleviate it. Lots of guessing and suppressing but no real healing! What we in natural medicine know is; for excess hair growth that you were not born with. That fact points to your hormones and testosterone being out of balance along with your thyroid (endocrine system) not functioning well or at all. An over abundance of testosterone and under abundance of hormones/progesterone can create hair growth. Since your age points to perimenopause time that can create your problems, your reproductive system is not functioning in balance along with your thyroid.
 
To overcome both we must bring your reproductive system and your thyroid into balance and harmony and your hirsutism will back off.
 
I would like to add that if left to continue the way you are going your next health problem will most likely be a diagnosis of diabetes and/or renal gland failure, as the pancreas and adrenals reacts to the break down in the thyroid and reproductive and thyroid systems.
 
I hope your doctor was a responsible person and looked at other possibilities when saying he/she didn't know the cause? There can be some other things known to create hirsutism. Such as;
 
1. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) could explain your obesity and facial hair growth, which is very common among patients with PCOS. But again that points to a hormonal disorder that disrupts the reproductive cycle and prompts ovarian cysts to grow. I'm assuming you would have mentioned that if your doctor had diagnosed it?  If they did not check then it could be possible.
2. Rarer case; endocrine causes of hirsutism points to a possible congenital adrenal hyperplasia or Cushing's syndrome.  I'm assuming your doctor looked into those possibilities as well and found that not the problem.
 
At your age and with perimenopause - meaning your body begins preparing for menopause - Sadly these days perimenopause is beginning much earlier than 30 or 40 years ago all because our foods lack valuable nutrients. Then add to that air pollution and chemical contamination in our water, our skin care, foods containing hormone interrupting chemicals, etc. It is not at all unusual to see this happening in early twenties now. Read Whose Drugs Are You Taking, which will give you an idea of how toxic our body can become even if you eat correctly and clean the environment around you.
 
Most women with hirsutism would have had or do have some disturbance of menstruation ? sometimes not even recognized as that ? irregular periods, painful periods, body bloating with period, brain memory problems aka head fog, insomnia, brittle hair, dry skin and/or moodiness, which you didn't mention but really isn't all that necessary for me to know as all the above occurs from the same problem! Hormones and thyroid gone amuck.
 
Yes the traditional medical world will put you on steroids or birth control pills, which makes no sense to us in the natural health world. You were very smart to refuse to refill your steroid prescription, as that would not correct the problem but mask it until too late, as well as make your weight problem balloon.
 
Now to correcting the problem.
 
That requires working on both the thyroid and female reproductive systems as they are directly connected and when one is off the other is usually off as well.  Once those systems are corrected you will find the hair growth will stop and in most instances fall out, but not always. In the instance it doesn't fall out you will need to remove it, and it will not return when problems are corrected.
 
The basics to repairing and preventing the thyroid and hormonal system starts with BALANCED MINERALS. This is the number one problem and if not corrected the other steps will not work as well since the body cannot metabolize nutrients given it without a proper mineral balance.
 
Here's the protocol for correcting; 
  1. 7-day Cleansing Diet to prepare your body and get it into an alkalized state necessary for healing. BE SURE TO COPY AND PASTE DIET INTO YOUR NOTEPAD AND PRINT TO KEEP HANDY!
ALL THE FOLLOW IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CLEANSING DIET!
  1. Life Transfusion Ionic Liquid Minerals; For the first week 1/2 teaspoon in 4 to 6 ounces of carrot, lemon or tomato juice twice daily. (Carrot is best) with breakfast and lunch or early afternoon. Second week 3/4 teaspoon minerals twice a day in juice. Third week and thereafter 1 teaspoon minerals twice a day.
  2. Balanced Woman; an herbal formula to nourish the body's organs to bring the female system into hormonal/testosterone balance. 3 capsules three times a day for at least first 6 weeks then you can cut back to 2 three times a day. If 2 aren't sufficient you may need to continue the 3 three times a day.
  3. Atomized Thyroid/Iodine formula; in graduated doses for the first bottle. This to wake up the thyroid that it needs work and will help it eventually settle into a normal pattern.
    Graduated doses: DAY 1; 3 drops in 4 ounces purified/filtered water morning and evening on and empty stomach. Each day thereafter add one drop morning and evening until you reach 8 drops twice a day. Stop for three days then on the fourth day start all over and do this until the bottle is empty.
    You will need to keep a note pad with the thyroid/iodine in order to keep track and not trust to your memory as it cannot be trusted with this problem. Second bottle go to Thyroid Energy Capsules 2 capsules morning and evening. That will be determined once you are near the end of the bottle of thyroid iodine liquid.

The majority of people respond to the above without problems but I do want you to check with us weekly and report changes, lack of changes or questions so that we can make adjustments, if needed.
 
The above will require at least 3 months before you notice a big improvement. Small improvements should be noticed within the first few weeks. A very small weight loss with more energy is the first thing you will most likely notice. Of course with natural medicine some people, at the beginning, feel worse before better so don't despair if that happens just call or email me with any concerns.

God Bless and Good Luck,

According to Osteoporosis International, the best time to start building bones is during the first three months of life.

The Menzies Centre for Population Health Research in Tasmania, Australia, studied the bone density of 330 8-year-old boys and girls. They found one common factor among those with the strongest bones: All had been breast fed during the first three months of life.

Breastfeeding for less than three months, by the way, didn't provide measurable help.

HOW'S YOUR VISION?

One woman laughs about the time she took her 14-year-old daughter and her daughter's best friend to a Peter, Paul and Mary concert. They were all fans of "oldies" music from the 60's and 70's and felt lucky to get front row seats. When they returned home, her daughter said, "During the show, we looked back and saw hundreds of little lights swaying to the music. At first we thought the people were holding up cigarette lighters. Then we realized that the lights were the reflections off all the eyeglasses in the audience." (Thanks to "Reader's Digest")

My eyesight isn't what it used to be, either. But as Helen Keller (who could neither hear nor see) said, "The greatest tragedy in life is people who have sight but no vision." Maybe I should be more concerned with my vision than with my eyesight.

There are numerous stories of people who lacked vision. A Hollywood producer scrawled a curt rejection note on a manuscript that became "Gone With The Wind." He had no vision for the success that movie would enjoy.

Orville and Wilbur Wright felt excited. On December 17, 1903, they had finally succeeded in keeping their homemade airplane in the air for 59 seconds. Immediately, they rushed a telegram to their sister in Dayton, Ohio, telling of this great accomplishment. The telegram read, "First sustained flight today fifty-nine seconds. Hope to be home by Christmas."

Upon receiving the news of the successful flight, their sister was so excited that she rushed to the newspaper office and gave the telegram to the editor. The next morning the newspaper headed the story: "Popular Local Bicycle Merchants To Be Home For Holidays." The hapless editor saw what was obvious, but missed the real story.

Vision is never about seeing the obvious. It's about looking ahead; about seeing what is not there -- YET. It's often about seeing the potential behind the obvious.

Like the potential in people. Spotting the potential for success in a student who, as is obvious to everyone else, will likely fail.

Or recognizing the potential for something good to come from a situation others are writing off as lost.

If we want to see what is really going on, we will need to learn to spot what is not there, then act on it.

So... your eyesight may be perfect, but how's your vision?
