QUESTION:
 
I have been on HRT since my early 30's due to fibroid tumor surgery that ended up with the taking of my ovaries and tubes as well as my uterus. That is almost twenty years now will I need to continue HRT the rest of my life? What is an alternative for HRT?
 
Jenna

 
 
ANSWER:
 
Thanks for your question Jenna:

HRT for those who do not watch TV nor read, is hormone replacement therapy.
 
For women, such as you, who have had a complete hysterectomy a lifetime of HRT, in my opinion and experience, is smart for a lot of reasons. If a woman has recently had a hysterectomy there is the possibility of bypassing replacement HRT with herbs and minerals, but if she had the hysterectomy several years ago, such as you and I, she most likely will require ongoing lifetime HRT. We women have a myriad of hormone producing glands other than our ovaries, but after surgical removal and with HRT those glands atrophy (dry up) from the HRT as the organs are sent a signal to not produce thereby preventing them from doing their job. Thus after a period of time, making it impossible to create stimulation and get them to regenerate hormone production, thus making the HRT necessary. Unless you want leathery skin, lots of body hair and can live with the headaches and rotten moods for life. The danger of uterine cancer from the HRT no longer exists as a concern without a uterus...

But for women who have all their female anatomy there are herbal and mineral supplements to keep the glands working and balanced, and will not continue your periods, so HRT isn't an issue.
 
I am lucky that I work with Dr. Wayne Garland, who came up with a supplement program, which is working for hundreds of women and has been for almost 12 years now. Both my daughters began his program when they started with perimenopausal symptoms and is working well... Women who have taken birth control pills for years will take longer to gain control and balance out the hormone secreting glands.

The program that is working for so many women at this time consists of two things;
1. Life Transfusion Ionic Liquid Minerals 
2. Balanced Woman Master Formula working together helps the body to continue in balance, while also allowing a bypass of perimenopause and menopause symptoms.

The only way you are going to know if it's possible to get off HRT is to try the herbal/mineral regimen for at least three months and if it works great! If not and it were me I would continue the HRT?

Hope this answers your questions,
Lena

WEALTH OF WISDOM

One man said, "I had a brain scan and was told not worry --there was nothing there!" Which is all right because some of my best ideas over the years have come from others, anyway. And I have discovered that wisdom can be found in most any place and from most any person -- even the youngest of us.

It was a child who passed on this morsel: "If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person." It is wisdom borne of hard experience.

Yet another child teaches us that "the best place to be when you are sad is in Grandma's lap."

Adults, too, have wisdom to share. One parent observed that "the best way to keep kids at home is to make the home a pleasant place to be... and let the air out of their car tires."

Wisdom can also be found among the youngest of us. And the most elderly will share it too, if we listen. I am related by marriage to a woman who is 103 years old. During her 100th year, "Aunt Pearl" was asked to speak to a group of high school students. She offered a century of wisdom in a few short sentences: "Enrich your life by becoming a better person, a better student and an individual worthy of trust and faithful in your commitments. Aspire to help and not hinder in all your good and worthy undertakings. Use these words often: 'thank you,' 'please,' 'I'm sorry.' After living 100 years, I admonish you to think deeply, speak gently, work hard, give freely, pay promptly, pray earnestly and be kind."


Wisdom doesn't come much better than that.

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

Small And Powerful
 
As I pulled some little red balls and long whitish veggies out of the ground I naturally wondered why these should be desired. One of the earliest things ready to eat in our garden are these little red and small elongated whitish radishes with a  bite. I don't remember them being so hot as a child from our garden. Is it the ground here makes things hotter or what? Some are sweet though so guess not?
 
Radishes have often been considered more as decoration and garnish than a food, except by those who grow them. Radishes are roots and actually members of the cruciferous (cabbage, etc.) vegetable family and all parts are edible, including the greens. Because they vary in quality, radishes are usually classified as winter or summer plant. Small ones of bold red, pink, purple, white or red and white are usually considered summer radish by some. They may be globe-shaped or elongated, can be fiery hot or tastefully mild.
 
Most common varieties here in the U.S. are usually round, but can also be ovoid, cylindrical, or turnip-like in shape. They can be the familiar red or white, red and white mix, pink, purple, and black; but the flesh is almost always white. However, there are some stunning varieties that have produced such dramatically colored flesh as black and white stripes or red, green, purple, or fuchsia. Mustard oils are responsible for the tangy taste of radishes not the ground they grow in, or so I'm told. 
 
The most popular, in my part of the world anyway, are red globe radish or Daikon, a general term for a group of long white radishes. So this information is mostly about those two radishes...
 
The Red Globe is low in calories and an abundance of flavor and crunch. Daikon radishes are similar in nutrients to the Red Globe.
 
A good source of Vitamin A, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, Calcium, Iron and Copper, and a very good source of Vitamin C (ounce for ounce about 42% as much as an orange), Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Magnesium and Phosphorus.
 
Radishes are known to relieve indigestion and flatulence, as well as being a good expectorant. Like other cruciferous vegetables, radishes contain sulphurous compounds that have anti-cancer properties. They also contain salicyclates, compounds similar to aspirin and, therefore, should be avoided by those with aspirin sensitivities.
 
The pre-bagged radishes have a longer refrigerator life than those sold with their greens still attached as the greenery leeches nutrients from the bulb.
 
Daikon radishes are said to aid the digestive system, especially in the digestion of fatty foods. It is a common ingredient in Japanese cooking and is always grated and added to tempura dipping sauce. Young daikons can be eaten raw but the larger (more than 8 inches long) ones must be cooked. Always peel daikons. Cut up and simmered in stews and soups, daikon tastes light and refreshing rather than heavy or starchy. Daikons are often cut into paper-thin slices by talented Japanese chefs.
 
Daikon greens are delicious too. They can be washed, stacked, rolled as a scroll, and cut crosswise. This produces thin julienne strips which are traditionally salted and left standing for an hour. The moisture is squeezed out. The leaves are then chopped and stored in glass jars for up to a week in the refrigerator. The Japanese stir them into warm rice, they can also be added to soups and other recipes. Of course my sister-in-law has always cooked the greens of the little red ones as well and added garlic and a splash of lemon juice? very good!
 
Some other varieties of Radishes include:

  
 
Beauty Heart; is often sold as a red daikon, and has a striking fuchsia flesh, but can also be green or purple with crimson striping. It is grown mainly in China and treated more as a fruit like an Asian pear.
Blanche Transparent; (Transparent White) is a long, small, white radish and important only in the region where it is grown. It is similar to the winter radish in appearance and taste.
Cherry Belle; is round with crisp, white, mild flesh and can be harvested three weeks after planting.
China Rose; is bright red, with white flesh and a good flavor.
D'Avignon; is rose-colored with a white tip, crunchy, and extremely hot.
18 Day; is a fast-growing French breakfast type.
French
Breakfast; is an elongated radish that sports red shoulders and a white tip. It is milder than the red globe, but just as crisp. If left too long, it becomes hot and woody.
Long Black Spanish; is dark skinned and extremely hot. Round Black Spanish is similar, but globe-shaped.
Müchen Bier; is a tasty green which can be eaten raw or stir fried.
Palatinate Giant Radish; is one of the largest varieties, but no different in taste from its smaller relatives.
Scarlet Globe; is a popular mild variety.
Short Top Forcing; is bright red and excellent for winter sowing under cover.
California Mammoth White; is larger than the White Icicles, oblong in shape, with an average length of eight inches and a slightly pungent flavor.
Chinese Misato Rose; is a round Asian radish about four inches in diameter. Cream and green colored on the outside, it has a beautiful rosy-pink interior.
Easter Egg; comes in pastel shades.
 
Since we eat them raw and fresh around our house I have no recipe, so pop them into your mouth and enjoy the health benefits?
Lena
