Two questions again today: Jane asks: ... little spot on & off  for over 2 years.  They ran tests & believe it is dry tissues.  The doctor decided to try to stop this spotting by prescribing 1 gram of Estrace cream inserted up the vagina twice a week for life.  The drug company papers say that it encourages cancer in the ovaries & another place. The longer you are on it the more risk you have of cancer.  Is there something else I could use?  I am 59 & have a little girl we adopted who is now 8 1/2 years ago. 
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Riley asks; I'm a little confused with your article on the need for more glyconutrients when comparing Dr. Mercolas push against using sugar & grains - could you give me a little further explanation on the comparison to possibly help my confusion?

QUESTION #1:
 
Have been spotting (light brown - little spot on & off  for over 2 years.  They ran tests & believe it is dry tissues.  The doctor decided to try to stop this spotting by prescribing 1 gram of Estrace cream inserted up the vagina twice a week for life.  The drug company papers say that it encourages cancer in the ovaries & another place. The longer you are on it the more risk you have of cancer.  Is there something else I could use?  I am 59 & have a little girl we adopted who is now 8 1/2 years ago. 
Thank you for any help you can give me.
Jane
 
ANSWER:
 
Hi Jane,

Scary thing happening I'm sure but no need to panic as natural has the answer... Poor doctors, they don't know what to do about it... Yes, the hormone cream has more side effects than it will help... Shortly they will be recommending surgery but don't buy into that...

First healthy vaginal lining douche - first week three times; (with 1 Tablespoon Ionic Silver Water and 1/2 teaspoon Liquid Minerals in 1 quart of warm water.) Then two times the second week and once the third week and that should heal and bring back healthy tissue if you also do the following...

Build your immune system: That will require Taking daily liquid Minerals 30 drops morning and noon in juice eat a lot of fruits and vegetables if you can't manage that then take Immune Support 3 capsules twice a day...

Balance your hormones with herbal Balanced woman 4 capsules daily 2 at breakfast and 2 in the evening, which will keep your vaginal area healthy...

Wishing you a long healthy life to raise that adorable child...
Lena
 
QUESTION #2:
 
hi lena - i'm a little confused with your article on the need for more glyconutrients when comparing dr. mercolas push against using sugar & grains - could you give me a little further explaination on the comparison to possibly help my confusion?
 
Also i'd like to say thks. for my past order of minerals - they were probably responsible for eliminating my food cravings, no allergies this spring, & better regularity ;o). As soon as i use up all my old vitamins i'd like for you to recommend a complete multi. for us to compliment the liquid mins.
thks. again, riley
ps: enjoyed speaking w/u on the ph. when i ordered my case of mins. - very pleasant lady!
 
ANSWER:
 
I'm so flattered with your compliments. Thank you Riley. My grandmother taught me that you must treat people the way you want to be treated and that's all I do. Nothing spectacular there...

I'm sorry if I confused you on the sugars and grains as that was not my intent, but looking at it I can see how that might occur especially if you follow Dr Mercola's teaching without knowledge of where he's coming from. Dr. Mercola and I have about the same outlook and if you read deeply into his articles and teachings you will find it.

Dr. Mercola's drive against sugars doesn't quite define the difference in sugars unless you dig deep and read all of his articles on it. We really aren't that far apart on this issue... Our body metabolizes sugars according to the kind ingested... Glyconutrients are not processed sugars, which the masses consume!!! Glyconutrients come from raw unprocessed fruits, vegetables and whole unadulterated grains that your body is made to utilize, metabolize and feed off of. Glyconutrients are necessary for our body and is digested in a fashion that our organs can run efficiently with, but refined sugar only taxes our adrenal systems and does nothing good for us...

As to Dr. Mercola's push to stop the ingesting of grains I can understand why... If you go back 75 years or more you will find that grain processing was a totally different way of milling and the crude but effective milling didn't remove the nutrients and man had not yet messed with the genetic makeup of grains and they came as God had made them. Today's mechanical and refined processing has given us nutrient poor flour products by taking out what small amounts of nutrients that's left in the grain leaving nothing healthy. Then you add that they do not have healthy grain to mill because of the genetic altering that has taken place creating inferior grain that contains human and animal DNA mixed in with the grains and what do we have? That's really anybody's guess! Plus, add that to the fact that the grounds that grow our foods are so deplete in nutrients that what few nutrients are still in the grain is removed with processing. Voila, not real grain being eaten!
 
It was extremely rare to have colon & stomach cancer, diabetes, and heart disease in those days of long ago and a lot of knowledgeable doctors and nutritionists say today's plague of chronic disease comes from the over processing of our grains and chemicals added to foods we eat. Who am I to argue with them, especially since I agree with them. Hence, I think Dr. Mercola is right on in his outlook but if you can find good organic unadulterated grains, fruits and vegetables you will find healthy good glyconutrients (sugars). Even the small amounts left in is healthy for us? He is talking to the masses that utilize the modern day processing, chemical filled, altered, pesticide containing grains and what it has brought our bodies too... God gave us grains for food and our body is made to accept it when it is actually grain, but very hard to find today.
 
As for recommending a total vitamin? I and my family take total and complete MegaNutrients which is more than anything you will find in a store or possibly online

I hope this unconfused you a bit...

THE POWER OF TOGETHER

The poet Rupert Brooke set out to travel by boat from England to America. Everyone on deck had someone there to see him or her off - everyone except him. Rupert Brooke felt lonely, terribly lonely. Watching the hugging and kissing and good-byes, he wished he had someone to miss him.

The poet saw a youngster and asked his name. "William," the boy answered.

"William," he asked, "would you like to earn a few shillings?"

"Sure I would! What do I have to do?"

"Just wave to me as I leave," the lonely man instructed.

It is said that money can't buy love, but for six shillings young William waved to Rupert Brooke as the boat pulled out. The poet writes, "Some people smiled and some cried, some waved white handkerchiefs and some waved straw hats. And I? I had William, who waved at me with his red bandana for six shillings and kept me from feeling completely alone."

We are all lonely at times. But here was a man who was strong enough to admit his loneliness. One psychotherapist says that a necessary first step toward coping with loneliness is for people to feel free simply admitting they are lonely. For once we recognize it, then we can do something about it.

What can we do? Reach out to friends and family. Too many people are lonely because they have been building walls instead of bridges.

We can also find others who may be lonely and help fill their emptiness. The world is full of them. Mother Teresa used to describe loneliness as "the biggest disease" of our time. And the loneliest do not all reside in nursing homes, nor do they all live by themselves.

Finally, we can recognize that, spiritually, we are not alone. This is a time for us to dig deep into our spiritual being.

Lily Tomlin quipped, "We're all in this alone." But, of course, that isn't true. And great joy comes from discovering the power in the word "together."

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

Monkey's Aren't So Dumb!
 
April 2004 found me in Hawaii and loving the fruits available. One of the things I enjoyed most was the banana. It was a bit different than what we get here in the U.S. but it was oh so sweet and tasty. As I reminisced my trip and about that great treat  while there I thought what better food for the week?
 
Bananas could be called the all around food to healing and health! Over the years as the doctors I worked with put patients on blood pressure medications - which remove a multitude of minerals and vitamins, but the medical profession only recognizes potassium as the mineral necessary to health ? I was instructed to tell the patient to be sure and eat lots of potassium rich foods in particular a banana or two a day.
 
In my search about bananas last year I found great prevention and healing properties in them? Also that Bananas contain three natural sugars, sucrose, fructose and glucose, and when combined with fiber, bananas produce an instant, sustained, and substantial boost of energy. Research has shown that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.
 
According to a recent survey of people suffering from depression found that many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein the body converts into serotonin, which makes you alert, improves your mood, and generally make you feel happier. So eat and expect less depression!
 
PMS may be averted by eating bananas. The vitamin B6 in bananas regulates blood glucose levels, which is responsible for some of PMS symptoms and eating does affect your mood (among other things).
 
Anemia medication: Bananas are high in iron, which stimulates the production of hemoglobin in the blood, which helps anemia.
 
Blood Pressure leveler: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt making it the perfect food to lower blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has permitted the banana industry to officially claim the fruit's ability to 'reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.' So is it the bananas doing the job or the medication the doctor gave you?
 
Brain Power increased: 200 students at a Middlesex, UK school were helped through exams by eating bananas at breakfast, at break, and during lunch to boost their brainpower. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
 
Constipation prevention: High in fiber, bananas in the diet can restore normal bowel movement without laxatives.
 
Hangover cure: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates the system.
 
Stomach calmer: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
 
Morning Sickness treatment: Snacking on bananas between meals helps keep blood sugar levels helping to avoid morning sickness. Morning sickness is caused from a lack of B vitamins more often than blood sugar fluctuations and since bananas have the B's eat one?
 
Mosquito bite treatment: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
 
Nerves calmed: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
 
Overweight and work too much? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found work pressure leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Out of 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that to avoid panic-induced food cravings and control blood sugar levels, snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours kept levels steady
 
Ulcers calm down:  Bananas can prevent intestinal disorders because of the soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in sensitive health situations. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. Experts say that bananas strengthen the surface cells of the stomach lining, forming a sturdier barrier against noxious juices.
 
Temperature control: Many cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that lowers both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their babies are born with a cool temperature.
 
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancers, tryptophan and Vitamin B's.
 
Calm smoking withdrawals: Bananas can also help people trying to stop smoking. B6 and B12 in bananas, as well as potassium and magnesium, help the body recover from the withdrawal effects.
 
Stress leveler: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the body's heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain, and regulates the body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate raises reducing potassium levels. These levels can be rebalanced by eating a high-potassium banana.
 
Cut Stroke Risk: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes as much as 40%!
 
Warts: It is said if you want to destroy a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart (with the yellow side out). Tape the skin in place with a Band-Aid or surgical tape.  Takes a while but will take care of the virus that causes warts, hence the removal of the wart.
 
Grow Beautiful Rose Bushes with Bananas: Blend the soft part of the banana skin in a blender full of water and pour on the base of your rose bushes to promote healthy roots and new growth.
 
Eating fresh fruits and vegetables results in a basic detoxification diet.  So, eat as many raw and pure, unprocessed and uncooked foods as you can each day and make bananas one of those raw fruits.
 
BANANA SMOOTHIE
 
3 ripe frozen bananas
4-5 T peanut butter (all natural creamy or chunky)
1 T ground flaxseed
2 T honey
1 c. skim or 1% milk ( I Use soy milk)
 
Place all ingredients in a blender and puree well and serve.
 NOTE: I add strawberries, pineapple chunks, frozen fresh peaches and frozen grapes to this as an added fiber and alternate taste.
 
Enjoy your nutritious healthy food!
