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

Today's Question is being asked so often that I think I should cover it and have chosen Jessica's to answer publicly, as she gave me permission to do...

There will be no Ask Lena Health Q & A newsletter next week. Having my grandson and his fiancee here and will be out 'n about just about every day. Will return on 8/4...

The answers to questions submitted to me each week come from my 20+ years as a Medical Office Nurse along with many years and ongoing education in nutritional and alternative treatment modes. Add that to many years of friendship with Dr. Wayne Garland, a very knowledgeable naturopath and herbologist, who many years ago, beat his cancer death sentence given by the traditional medical world, has helped along the alternatives path and hopefully help to give hope to those who need it... Also receiving a lot of study reports and try to ascertain if they are good or bad then report them to you, which has increased my knowledge along the way and I pass them on to you to use or not...

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 those same schooled methods that aren't relieving illness but creating far more health problems than they help. 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. 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...

Even though I daily watch people become healthy with the information imparted here nothing works 100% of the time for 100% of people...

QUESTION:
 
Hi Lena, I am 39 years old and my sex drive is almost non-existent.  I used to be easily sexually excited but the last couple of years that has disappeared ands I'm not sure how my husband can stay if it doesn't change?  Do you have any suggestions to change this?

Jessica
 
 
ANSWER:
 
Jessica, this is a frequently asked question, so you are not alone. It is sadly becoming thought of as normal for too many women and men...

Without a health background and you did not mention taking medications making it possible for me to know for sure what has happened to you so I can only give you the most frequent reasons and will try and to hit all possibilities and you will have to make the determination if you fit one or more of the possible causations.

Several reasons for a loss of sex drive but at your age I can say the most frequent cause is most likely. I speak of the experiences I have observed and not as a doctor but as a retired medical office nurse. Any of the following or a combination of several may be happening, such as;

1. Depression - This can create a reduction of the hormonal and Adrenal systems production needed to produce the necessary testosterone, progesterone and hormones in the body, creating a lack of sex drive. This happens so frequently these days since 90% of bodies are lacking in a minerals balance and this upsets the body's whole organ system but the brain simply becomes bogged down from the inability to function properly. Depression comes from extended depression and most often created from an imbalance of minerals causing the brain's electrical impulses to short circuit producing depression! Lots of people find that by simply supplementing daily with a balanced minerals supplement depression lessens and in a large number find that depression totally dissipates. Those few who it does not find total depression relief usually do when adding Mind repairing formula of herbs to complete the job.

2. Perimenopause - occurring in the majority of women over from 25 these days, sadly this can last for 8 to 12 years before menopause actually happens. The early onset has been tracked to causes of so many hormones and chemicals in the foods, skin care, water and air pollution and add nutrient deficient foods only increases the problem. This condition brings about a thinning in the vaginal lining making sex uncomfortable and not so enjoyable, which then sets up a mental block and leads to lack of desire. Also perimenopause decreases the testosterone level and throws the hormone balance off decreasing or killing the sex drive. Or because it brings about lethargy and so many mood swings that your body is totally in shock and unable to react to the sexual stimuli that formerly worked.  Perimenopause is now being corrected naturally by many women with Balance Woman 40+ Master Formula and Ionic Liquid Minerals. These steps prevent hot flashes and mood swings that comes with later menopause... (These are the naturals that help my two daughters, my sister-in-law, my best friend, myself as well as several other women who asked your same question.)

3. Stress -The life styles now have people living at such 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 and makes for all kinds of problems in the Reproductive and Adrenal systems, of which loss of libido is one of the many possible problems in this stressful world. Dr. Garland has found a great stress killer in the Master Formula TOLERANCE STRESSX combined with IONIC LIQUID BALANCED MINERALS and MegaNutrient Vitamins have proven to be great balancers helping prevent stress as well as stopping Adrenal damaged created by stress. When stress cannot be avoided Tolerance StressX formula is a must and helps the body to destroy the free-radicals (illness creators) produced from stress therefore preventing the onset of other health problems...

4. Mineral and Vitamin Imbalance - This can be the whole problem for some and is becoming a common occurrence in both men and women's loss of sex drive. The foods we eat simply do not have the minerals needed to make it possible for our body to absorb what little nutrients are 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... For early intervention in this possibility simply taking a total 84 mineral supplement will create that balance while helping to detox the body...

5. Lack of Sunshine, Exercise and sufficient sleep - not getting at least 15 or 20 minutes of sunlight a day along with a sedentary lifestyle (not getting enough exercise) and not getting at least seven hours sleep nightly 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 commonly first appears with the loss of sex drive in both men and women...

6. A combination of all of the above - When your body is under stress for long periods of time your nutrient balance is out of kilter and it can bring about early perimenopause, which loss of libido is one of the symptoms. 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 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...

8. Blood Pressure medications - A large portion of BP medications kill the sex drive. There are natural blood pressure alternatives that can bring BP under control without killing the sex drive. Dr. Garland's Hypertension Herbal Repair kit outlines those things.

9. 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!

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...

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.

Physicians at the State University of New York reviewed the results of studies about treating corneal abrasions, and concluded that the practice of using eye patches not only doesn't help, it may make things worse.

As reported in the Journal of Family Practice, eye patches don't improve the rate of healing or relieve pain. Instead, patches may increase pain, and by removing binocular vision, they take away depth perception.

AREN'T THEY ALL OUR CHILDREN?

There are few things in this life more difficult to experience than the loss of one's child. Jim Wallis, in WHO SPEAKS FOR GOD tells about a sad and terrifying incident that occurred during the tragic war in Sarajevo not too many years back. A reporter who was covering the violence in the middle of the city saw a little girl fatally shot by a sniper.

The reporter threw down his pad and pencil and rushed to the aid of a man who was now holding the child. He helped them both into his car and sped off to a hospital.

"Hurry, my friend," the man urged, "my child is still alive." A moment or two later he pleaded, "Hurry, my friend, my child is still breathing." A little later he said, "Hurry, my friend, my child is still warm."

When they got to the hospital, the young girl was gone. "This is a terrible task for me," the distraught man said to the reporter. "I must go tell her father that his child is dead. He will be heartbroken."

The reporter was amazed. He looked at the grieving man and said, "I thought she was YOUR child."

The man replied, "No, but aren't they all our children?"

I think that is one of the great questions of our age. Aren't they all our children? It is a question that deserves an answer.

Aren't they all our children? Those who live under our roof and those who reside with another family? Those to whom we are related as well as those whom we have never known?

Aren't they all our children? Those on our side of the border as well as those on the other side? Those of our nation no more or less than those of another?

Aren't they all our children? Those who worship like us and those who worship differently? Those who look like us and those who do not?

Aren't they all our children? The well-educated and the under-educated? The well-fed and the under-fed? Those who are secure and those who are at risk?

Aren't they all our children? The highly valued and highly esteemed as well as the castaways and the lost?

Aren't they all our children? Aren't they all our responsibility? ALL of them? Ours to nurture? Ours to protect? Ours to love?

I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that the survival of our world hinges on the answer to that question.

To say they are NOT all our children is to condemn the world to more struggle ? family against family, group against group, nation against nation.

Aren't they all our children? If we say yes, can we ever again pit them against each other? "If we have no peace," said Mother Teresa, "it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other."

Aren't they all our children?

There may be no greater question for our generation. And how we answer that question will determine the shape of our world for years to come.
