Today's question is only one of the many I receive that pertain to loss of libido and by publishing this one others who are ashamed to ask may be helped.

Questions are answered to the best of my ability using what I gleaned from 20+ years as a Medical Office Nurse and Administrator along with my ongoing and past education in nutritional and alternative modes along with my many years of friendship with Dr. Wayne Garland, a very knowledgeable naturopath and herbologist. I am not a doctor and you should not think of me as one. My years observing life and health of many around me and the contradictions of the traditional medical world's idea of treating and watching those same schooled methods that weren't relieving illness and creating far more than they helped and people weren't told how to get healthy or prevent illness led me to look for something to change that premise. In looking I found and continue to find alternatives that really work when adhered to...

QUESTION:
 
Hi Lena,  I am 38 years old and my sex drive is almost non-existent.  I used to be quite sexually excited by my husband but the last couple of years has changed that.   
Do you have any suggestions to help me change this problem?

ANSWER:
 
This is beginning to be an often asked question from gals 25 to 70 so you are not alone Barb.

You didn't give me a health background to more define an absolute answer so I will try and cover what could be happening so that you can ascertain which fits you.

There are several reasons for a loss of sex drive. I can only write from experiences I have observed, not as a doctor but as a medical office nurse, which are;

1. Depression (prolonged)- This can create a reduction of the hormonal system preventing production of the necessary testosterone hormone in the body, which creates sex drives. Women have less than men so it's easier to suppress testosterone than in men's bodies.

2. Perimenopause - (This is a period of time - 3 to 8 years - prior to menopause that creates a huge fluctuation of up and down hormone and testosterone levels.) That is occurring in women early on these days. The early onset of perimenopause is created from so many hormones and chemicals in dairy and animal foods, skin care as well as from polluted water and air and adds up to make for BIG problems. Perimenopause not only slows the sex drive but brings about a thinning in the vaginal lining making sex uncomfortable and not so enjoyable also known to be the beginning of migraine headaches in many women. It brings about lethargy and so many mood swings that your body is totally in shock and unable to react to the past sexual stimuli. This is being corrected naturally by many women when they supplement with Balance Woman Master Formula, along with Ionic Liquid Minerals also preventing hot flashes and mood swings that comes with later menopause... (These are the naturals that helped my two daughters, myself, my best friend as well as many other women I know.)

3. Stress - The life styles now have people living at such breakneck speed that the body cannot keep up and makes for feeling less than normal creating a stressful situation - stress is a killer of the body's ability to balance out nutrients and makes for all kinds of problems, of which loss of libido is one of the many. Dr. G has found a great stress killer in the Master Formula TOLERANCE ANTIANXIETY this combined with Ionic Liquid Minerals and MegaNutrient Vitamins have proven to be great balancers helping prevent stress and stress damage. When stress cannot be avoided Tolerance Antianxiety formula - 1 to 2 capsules three times a day - is a must and helps the body to destroy the free-radicals (illness creators) produced from stress therefore preventing all kinds of health problems that will eventually exist from stress killing the immune system...

4. Mineral and Vitamin Imbalance - This is getting to be a common occurrence in both men and women's loss of sex drive. When the body is malnourished it can't function as it should! The foods we eat simply do not have the minerals needed to make it possible for our body to absorb the other nutrients in our foods. An imbalance of minerals creates an out-of-balance vitamin body thereby creating a severe depressed state of the body's adrenal system that is the beginning of many cancers and autoimmune illnesses... For this simply taking a total 84 mineral base will create that balance while helping to detox the body making those illnesses less likely...

5. Lack of Sunshine and Exercise - not getting at least 15 or 20 minutes of sunlight a day along with a sedentary lifestyle (not getting enough exercise) has proven to throw the adrenal glands so out of balance the body goes into various organ failure that will eventually end up in a one or more illness, which can first appear with the loss of sex drive in both men and women as a precursor to something more serious...

6. Antidepressants - Such as Prozac, Wellbutrin (even though it is advertised as the one that doesn't depress the libido their literature says it can and it frequently does.), Celexa,  Paxil, Zoloft, Elavil, Tofranil, Aventyl, Pamelor and others. These medications are sometimes given for other purposes so you may unknowningly be taking a libido killer. These all suppress the adrenal glands thereby preventing the production of the necessary hormones and/or testosterone... These should not be stopped cold turkey if they have been consumed for several months or years, but Dr. G can help with that if you wish to get a free health evaluation...

7. Blood Pressure medications - A large portion of BP medications will kill the libido. There are natural blood pressure alternatives that can get BP under control without killing the sex drive.

8. Statin drugs (Cholesterol lowering drugs) - Also can kill the sex drive. These are killers of the whole body and should not be taken, as they are just now releasing the horrible side effects with the most horrific one being death by heart attack. Since cholesterol is not the culprit that the drug companies made it to be (lining their pocket books being their goal) regardless of all the publicity you hear these are not necessary for anyone to take with a cholesterol less than 300!

9. Heart medications - A large portion of heart medications also kill the sex drive. These will require a doctors help in changing... This is a whole other story...

10. A combination of all of the above - When your body is under stress for long periods of time and your nutrient balance is out of kilter bringing about perimenopause early, which creates depression in a majority of women. Taking medications that create more problems and insufficient exercise and sunlight and/or eat no-nutrient foods then stress is felt more by the body, creating a host of problems of which low to no sex drive may be the beginning of other illness(es)...

I don't know which area you fit into or if several fit your profile but I hope this gives you some insight as well as answers to correcting your dilemma.

Sincerely, 
Lena

DON'T GIVE UP ON TRUST

One woman describes herself as "five feet, three inches tall and pleasingly plump." After she had a minor accident, her mother accompanied her to the emergency room. The triage nurse asked for her height and weight, and she blurted out, "Five-foot-eight, 125 pounds."

While the nurse pondered over this information, the woman's mother leaned over to her. "Sweetheart," she said gently, "this is not the Internet."

The Internet is becoming known as a place where the truth is not readily apparent. I've learned from the Internet that I have extremely wealthy acquaintances in Africa that have enormous sums of money they need to transfer out of the country. They literally contact me every day! And if I will only help, they will gladly share a portion of their bounty with me and I'll become an instant multi-millionaire. Others promise me wealth beyond my wildest dreams if only I invest in an up-and-coming business venture. Daily, the Internet reminds me that greed can lead to disaster; that not everybody has my best interest in mind and I must be sensibly cautious.

But in most relationships, I would rather trust than shut others out. I would rather be taken advantage of by a few than isolate myself from everybody. Perhaps not everybody should be trusted, but I would hate to experience life without it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson put it well: "Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great."

Children will more often live up our high expectations than not. Friends and colleagues will generally show themselves to be dependable. The world we live in is a good world, inhabited by mostly good people who can still be counted on.

If you feel cynical, don't give up on trust. Others will usually come through. If love makes the world go 'round, then trust makes the love go 'round.
