 ASK LENA HEALTH Q & A EDITION!
====================================

A reader asked a question that a lot of women have asked me over the years but are embarrassed to let anyone know. Since I haven't published anything about it in a few years I think Jenna's question, being in the extreme symptom wise, is a good one to publish. I hear her concerns several times a year and since we're having great successes in treating post-hysterectomy problems this can benefit many!

Don't forget to pass on the newsletter announcement to anyone you feel will read it.

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 and also was taught those same schooled methods that aren't relieving illness but creating far more health problems than they help is where my answers are based. 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 who ask. 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...

Ask Lena Health Questions and Answers is for your information and education only and in some instances to give you a different perspective on a particular problem! My wish for you, in the use of the information gained here, is that you will apply it in a smart and safe manner in order to enhance your life and not harm it! 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! 

Thank you for your confidence and inquisitiveness!

QUESTION:
 
I am 45 years old and had a complete hysterectomy several years ago to treat endometriosis. I am using Premarin since my surgery and this has kept me from having hot flashes, but has not helped my lost sex drive, dry vagina, depression, insomnia, anxiety, CFS, Fibromyalgia, at one point being almost comatose from fibromyalgia pain and depression.  Will Dr. Garland's Balanced Woman help to replace HRT after having a complete hysterectomy and/or will it help curb these problems? I want to feel like my old self but it doesn't seem to be happening with Premarin. I am tired of being tired and in pain.
 
Thank you for any help you can give me, 
Jenna
 
 
ANSWER:
 
Thanks for the questions Jenna.
 
I'm assuming by a complete hysterectomy you mean cervix, ovaries, tubes and uterus. Correct me if I'm wrong... Sometimes in having a hysterectomy there is damage during the surgical procedure that cannot always be corrected. I'm hoping you are not one of those... Happily women have a multitude of hormone producing glands other than the ovaries therefore making it possible that hormone production, when given the right prodding can be sufficient for most women. This is not always the case if the surgery was several years before as the hormone producing glands become atrophied and not always able to bring them back. I suspect more than a hormone imbalance going on with but will get to that later.

Up front let me say that Balanced Woman Formula does not contain hormones! Yes, Balanced Woman provides the herbs and nutrients that will help in prodding of those left behind hormone producing glands that will help in balancing the hormones in women who have had surgery in the last four or five years. I can't say that will happen beyond five years post-surgery, as I have no personal histories reported to me any longer than five years after surgery of having regenerated their reproductive progesterone/testosterone/hormonal system. I'm not saying it can't happen just that I have no women clientele who has reported such. But in those who are supplementing both Liquid Balanced Minerals and Balanced Woman herbal formula it has and is doing wonders.
 
The symptoms of depression, insomnia, anxiety, hot flashes, CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome), Fibromyalgia, headaches, etc. are normal side effects after a hysterectomy but also indication of a possible thyroid problem. Most women do not have all those symptoms but it appears you are one of the unlucky ones. Those problems most usually can be taken care of with the Balanced Woman and Liquid Balanced Ionic Minerals. Whether Balanced Woman will correct the libido problem? Maybe yes and maybe no? Before going further you should do a simply thyroid home check to see if you might possibly need natural atomized thyroid added to the mix as the reproductive system is directly linked to the thyroid and when one doesn't function the other eventually goes awry as well... Click here for instructions on doing the simply home thyroid function test...

I do not wish to depress you further but I say "maybe yes and maybe no" to a better libido because the number of botched hysterectomies that maim women for life and take away the chance of a natural sex drive happening post-surgery is staggering... I do not know if you are one of those damaged cases or not? If so, your libido may never return... I would try the above for at least three months to determine if it's simply hormones and thyroid or not.
 
Sadly there are no doctors willing to stand up and admit the scalpel slipped or they misjudged and getting retribution has never been reported successful that I know of...
I do know that with the 1) Balanced Woman herbal formula - start with 3 capsules with each meal,
2) Life Transfusion Ionic Liquid Minerals - starting with 1/2 teaspoon in juice morning and early afternoon (instructions for increasing at the proper times will accompany any order for the balanced minerals.
2) D3,K1, BetaCarotene to protect your bones and body from post-menopausal bone damage - 1 morning and 1 evening, you will see outstanding improvement and possibly total correction of the CFS, fibromyalgia, insomnia and depression and in just a few short days, as so many women have. 

With some women who have fibromyalgia it requires taking Good Night Sleep Formula - 2 or 3 capsules 1 hour before bedtime, along with the above suggestions to get the proper nightly rest assisting in less to no fibromyalgia pain filled days...

I wish I could say definitely that your sex drive will return - within a month of starting this therapy - but only time will tell with that...

I hope you choose to try these as they are doing wonders for so many women... You would know in a few short weeks, some had results in days. For your depression the need for balanced minerals is immediate. Depression - severe to mild - is known to happen in a mineral imbalanced body, called Chemical Imbalance by the traditional medical world and then add the loss of hormones, it is even worse. Read The One Key To Maintaining Good Health to better understand why!

Balanced Woman Master Formula along with Liquid Life Transfusion Ionic Balanced Minerals and ABCD3,K1 formula is the Secrets to natural balance for a lot of women who have had hysterectomies, when taking manmade hormones is not the answer to their symptoms. As with everything in life each person is different but we will work with you to reach your best dosage level and a happy plateau... You are simply too young to have live with those symptoms for years!
 
Sincerely,
Lena
 

Are You Sure Your Blood Pressure Readings are Correct?
 
Researchers at the VA Medical Center in Long Beach, California, estimate that 20-30% of patients diagnosed as hypertensive actually have normal blood pressure. This misdiagnosis can certainly cause unwarranted fear, plus contribute to a lifetime of unnecessary medications and increased insurance premiums.

One common phenomenon that leads to inaccurate blood pressure readings is "White Coat Hypertension." This refers to the well-known fact that a person's blood pressure can escalate the minute he or she steps into a doctor's office. Therefore, readings taken in this setting may not reflect a person's everyday blood pressure.

Also, the technique used to measure blood pressure can vary greatly between doctors and can also change over time even with the same doctor. That's because an accurate reading depends on many factors: the position of your arm, the hearing of the person listening through a stethoscope, and the calibration of the instruments. All which can lead to inconsistent numbers.

As a result, you can never be sure that the blood pressure readings you're getting at your doctor's office represent your true, everyday blood pressure or if they're artificially elevated. This distinction is especially important if your doctor is about to (or already has) prescribed antihypertensive medications. Get your own blood pressure system and take your blood pressure at home in a relaxed, consistent atmosphere to determine your true readings.

TURN ... AND COME ROUND RIGHT

Not long ago a commercial airliner, whose pilot was new to New York, landed at JFK Airport. He steered the jet onto a taxiway and stopped. Then slowly he began turning. First he nosed the aircraft to the right. Then to the left. Then he turned the plane completely around.

Finally, over the public-address system, a confused voice asked, "Does anyone know where Gate 25 is?" Do you think that if he just turned around enough times he would come out right?

Deciding to turn, though, is something we often have to do if we are to live fully and live well. For each of us knows what it is to head the wrong direction in life; and we also know how relieved we feel to turn around again.

Do you remember the old Shaker hymn, written by Joseph Brackett, Jr. over 150 years ago?

'Tis the gift to be simple,
'tis the gift to be free,
'tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
It will be in the valley of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed.
To turn, turn will be our delight,
'Til by turning, turning we come round right.

It's amazing how many times I turn in a day. I turn up to things I want to attend and turn down others. I turn in at the end of the day and turn over all night long. And when things are not right, I can always turn them around.

Actually, turning is one of the most hopeful words I know.

When I'm not right, I can turn in a new direction. By turning, I do something about the course I've taken. I may not be able to change what I've already done; and I may not be able to fully escape those unpleasant consequences of past choices. But I need not continue in the same, destructive path. I can turn. I can find my way again.

Turning around is allowed in this life. In fact, it's necessary. Especially after mistakes and failures. And that's like hope for me. Like the song says, "'Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be." But when we don't find ourselves where we ought to be, "by turning, turning we come round right."
