QUESTION:
 
Hi Lena,  I am 40 years old and my sex drive is almost nill.  I used to be quite aroused and excited by my husband but the last couple of years have changed.  I love him as much as ever but just have no sex drive.  Can you help?  
 
Ganell
 
 
ANSWER:
 
Thanks for the question Ganell,

You didn't give me a health background to draw from so I will try and cover what could be happening and you will have to play detective and figure out where you fit in the scenario!

There are several reasons for a loss of sex drive. I can speak of the experiences I have observed and/or experienced and not as a doctor but as a retired medical office nurse, which are;

1. Depression - This creates a depleted immune system and endocrinal system which can produce a reduction of the hormonal system's ability to produce the necessary chemicals (testosterone/hormone) in the body.

2. Perimenopause - Due to the lack of nutrients in our foods and the fast and processed food intake creating the body's inability for the female system to function as it should therefore perimenopause is occurring in women as early as the 30's quite often these days. This brings about a thinning in the vaginal lining making sex uncomfortable and not so enjoyable. Decreases the testosterone level and throws the hormone balance off. 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 with Balance Woman Master Formula, along with Ionic Liquid Minerals also preventing hot flashes and mood swings that comes with later menopause... (This is what has helped my two daughters, my best friend and myself as well as several other women I know.)

3. Stress - stress is a killer of the body's ability to balance out suppressing the brains ability to make the proper chemicals needed for the whole body to work as it should and makes for all kinds of problems, of which loss of libido is one of the many. Dr. Garland has found a great stress killer in his Master Formula Tolerance the true calming host of herbs and  this combined with Ionic Liquid Minerals have proven to be great balancers. When stress cannot be avoided Tolerance Antianxiety formula helps the body to destroy the free-radicals (illness creators) produced from stress therefore preventing all kinds of health problems... If the libido problem has been going on for quite sometime you may also need Balanced Woman to bring the hormones back into balance as they should be...

4. Mineral and Vitamin Imbalance - This is getting to be a common occurrence in both men and women's loss of libido. 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 content creating a severe depressed state of the body's adrenal system... For this simply taking a total 84 mineral base will create balance and detoxing of the body...

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 may first appear with the loss of libido in both men and women...

6. A combination of all of the above - Since I don't know your diet, exercise, illness or lifestyle I cannot say definitely which of the above or if all of the above applies to your situation. When we do not get sufficient exercise and sunlight stress is felt more by the body, which causes the adrenal glands to go into failure...

7. Antidepressants - Such as Prozac, Wellbutrin (even though it is advertised as the one that doesn't depress the libido their literature says that it can.), CelexaPaxil, 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. Garland and I can help with that if this is the cause of your problem... All you have to do is ask...

8. 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.

9. Statin (cholesterol reducing) 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) these are not necessary for anyone to take!

10. 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 and one that Dr. Garland is addressing almost daily anymore...

I don't know which area you fit into but I hope this gives you some insight as well as answers to correcting it.

Sincerely,
Lena

ECHOES OF KIND WORDS

 A little boy said to his father, "Let's play darts. I'll throw the darts and you say, `Wonderful!'"

Here is a boy who was not afraid to ask for the encouragement he needs. Maybe we all have something to learn from him!

Inspirational author and educator, Fr. Brian Cavanaugh, relates a story about the devastating effects of discouragement. Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the famous 19th Century poet and artist, was once approached by an elderly man who asked him to look at a few of his sketches and drawings. The gentleman wanted to know if the artist thought they were of any value.

As gently as possible, Rossetti told the man that the sketches were of no value and showed little talent. He apologized for the harsh assessment but said that he believed he should be honest.

The visitor was disappointed but asked the artist if he could take a look at just a few more, which were all done by a young art student. Rossetti looked over the second batch of sketches and immediately became enthusiastic over the talent they revealed. "These," he said, "oh, these are good." He went on to say that the young student shows much promise and should be given every help and encouragement, as he may have a great future if he will study and work hard.

The old man was deeply moved. Rossetti asked, "Who is this fine, young artist? Your son?"

"No," replied the visitor sadly. "It is I - forty years ago. If only I had heard your praise then. For you see, I became discouraged and gave up too soon."

Mother Teresa wisely said, "Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." Sometimes it may be enough to just say, "Wonderful!"

FOOD OF THE WEEK

The Fruit That Played A Role In Knights Of Old!
 
As my husband handed me the healthy gold fruit, from our tree, I knew what the following food of the week column was going to be about?
 
These sweet juicy yellow, green and sometimes a musty brown fruit with a rounded shape that becomes narrower towards the stalk and has kind of a grainy texture that turns some people off. Pears offer a healthy snack as well as a healthy ingredient in many recipes.  Full of natural nutritious fiber!

 
Pear History is interesting in that pears date back to the early Asian history!
 
Pears are one of the world's oldest cultivated and beloved fruits. In 5,000 B.C., Feng Li, a Chinese diplomat became consumed by grafting peaches, almonds, persimmons, pears and apples as a commercial venture. In The Odyssey, the Greek poet laureate Homer lauds pears as a "gift of the gods." Pomona, goddess of fruit, was a cherished member of the Roman Pantheon and Roman farmers documented extensive pear growing and grafting techniques. Thanks to their versatility and long storage life, pears were a valuable and much-desired commodity among the trading routes of the ancient world. Evident in the works of Renaissance Masters, pears have long been an elegant still-life muse for artists. In the 17th century a great flourishing of modern pear variety cultivation began taking place in Europe. And in popular culture, the pear tree was immortalized alongside a partridge in the 18th-century Christmas carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas.
 
Early colonists brought the first pear trees to America's eastern settlements where they thrived until crop blights proved too severe to sustain widespread cultivation. Fortunately, the pear trees brought west to Oregon and Washington by pioneers in the 1800's thrived in the unique agricultural conditions found in the Pacific Northwest. Today's Northwest pear varieties are the same or similar to those first cultivated in France and Belgium where they were prized for their delicate flavor, buttery texture, and long storage life.
 
Pears are picked when they are almost ripe. The fruit will come off if you lift the fruit vertically, signally time to pick. Pears ripen best at room temperature. If you want too keep them a few days you have to keep them in a dark cool place. There's no need to peel a pear... their tender, edible skin is an additional and nutritional source of fiber. A medium sized pear provides 4 grams of fiber, or 16% of the recommended daily value. Always wash all fresh fruits and vegetables before serving.
 
More levulose - the sweetest of known natural sugars - is found in fresh pears than any other fruit, which doesn't really sound like it's good for dieting. Well, levulose is easily digested and plays a role in energizing the metabolism thereby helping to bring about weight loss. The pear is rich in the minerals; Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium - 30% more than an apple - , Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese and Selenium Not short changed in the vitamin department either containing; Vitamin C, B-6, B-12, A, E, Rhiamin,  Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Folate and Folic acid.  
 
There are many varieties of pears to choose from and should hit just about any desire!
 
*Yellow Bartlett (Bart-let) U.S. Availability in August through January ripens to bright yellow, perfect for fresh eating. Very sweet and juicy. Excellent for canning or cooking. 
 
*Red Bartlett (Bart-let) Availability in August through January Bright red skin when fully ripe. Same flavor, texture and use as yellow Bartletts.
 
* Green Anjou (On-ju) Availability in October through June. Abundant juice and sweet flavor when ripe. They do not change color as they ripen.
 
* Red Anjou (On-ju) Availability in October through May. Much the same flavor and texture as green Anjous. Remains maroon red when ripe.
 
* Bosc (Bahsk) Availability in August through April. Highly aromatic flavorful pear. Dense flesh makes it ideal for baking and cooking. They are brown and often russeted. They do not change color as they ripen. 
 
* Comice (Co-meece) Availability in August through February. One of the sweetest, juiciest varieties, and often are very large. An elegant dessert pear that's excellent with cheese. Almost no color change when ripe. 
 
* Seckel (Seck׳l) Availability in August through February. Tiny pears with ultra-sweet flavor, maroon and olive green in color. Excellent choice for children's snacks, pickling, or as a garnish. No color change when ripened.
 
* Forelle (For-ell) Availability in September through February. A smaller variety. Turns bright yellow with crimson freckling when ripe. Sweet, very juicy.
 
Our favorite way of eating pears is fresh and raw but poached pears are excellent as well and here is a relish recipe that is very tasty and nourishing.
 
True Sugar-free Pear Relish
 
Great on toast, English muffins or as a relish for meats.
 
      8  quarts of Pears
      6  Onions
      3  Red bell peppers
      3  Green bell peppers
      5  cups apple cider Vinegar
      2  teaspoons Sea Salt
      1  teaspoon Pickling spices
      1  teaspoon Turmeric
      Stevia: 8 Tablespoons. whole Stevia leaf powder  or 1/4 cup white Stevia extract (powder)
 
Grind vegetables. Combine with remaining ingredients; bring to a boil and boil until thickened, about 30 minutes. Seal in pint jars. Makes about 8 pints.
 

Now enjoy this season of golden healthy fruit!
