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

Today's Question is merely an example of how off balance the body can become so soon in life when not given the proper nutrient balances. And that easily occurs because the young lack the knowledge in the difference between their body, nutrient intake balance in connection with illness or disease! 

I think the last of our summer visitors have left and we can settle back into normalcy until next summer. Of course it is only August so I may be premature in that assumption, but I will work as though it is the true happening!

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...

QUESTION:
 
I am a 23 year old female, 198 lbs from 237lbs(within the last 5 months), I don't take any suppliments or treatments and the only medications I take over a monthly period are mydol, ibprophen and excederin. At the moment I can not afford a doctor and my health has become a concern of mine and my families. As of the past week and a half many issues have arrised, those issues being, a rapid decrease in weight(lost 10 lbs in a week while eating healthy), nausea/ vomiting when I wake up for about an hour and then again usually around 10pm off and on until I fall asleep, frequent light headaches, an onset of several small pimples, sometimes severe pain in my hips/lower back(feels as if someone were to push too hard on my hips they would break open),light constipation with gas, I can't eat half as much as I used to without feeling over stuffed but become hungry again within a couple hours (occasionally I will be very hungry but go to get food and become uninterested in it all together), speed of hair growth on face, under arms and pubic region has increased drastically, body odor in under arms has increased(one application of antiperspirant used to last a couple days, now I must apply twice daily), I have a hard time going to sleep but sleep more frequently and i am constantly tired even with the smallest tasks, I've been getting stressed out easier and finally a slight increase in vaginal discharge with no odor itching or burning. If you could help me find out what is wrong with me I would greatly appreciate it.

ANSWER:
 
I'm sorry you are not doing well Kimberly... I can tell you that you really do need an evaluation by an Internist... Even if I tell you what is wrong you may not be able to afford to fix it with natural treatments either since you cannot afford to see a doctor... But I will give you my opinion and you can do what you can...
 
You have more than one thing going on and will take a multitude of things to fix them. You don't say why you are taking the Midol - I'm assuming that is menstrual pain - but why the ibuprophen and Excedrin?  Sadly all three of those drugs deplete your system of minerals and nutrients that your organs and bodily systems require for health! As severe as you describe that was most likely the beginning or the result of a dead immune system and/or nonfunctioning bodily systems. When the minerals balance is out of balance any part or several parts of the body can become unhealthy causing all kinds of illnesses and/or diseases!
 
Your immune system is in severe trouble pointed to by all the symptoms you describe... When it isn't working all kinds of problems can develop? Whether you have developed cancer is not something I can tell you, but also a possibility... You may have developed diabetes or your thyroid and reproductive systems may have gone awry or all three are not functioning properly, as the severe weight loss can happen with any one or a combination of those possibilities. Your stomach and digestive problems point to any one of those as well?  Your digestive symptoms can also develop with a severe immune system breakdown as 80% of your immune system lies in the digestive tract.

Also; Hair growth, body odor, sleep problems, chronic tiredness and vaginal discharge say that your thyroid and reproductive system is in need of some severe correction, which will require balancing your hormones, testosterone and progesterone along with the thyroid as both systems are directly connected and when one goes out the other will soon follow, which has already happened with yours. I suspect with your weight problem both the overweight and now the fast weight loss started with your thyroid and then your reproductive system went awry. Fixing these is easily done with herbs and nutrients as many women have done. Dr. Garland's formulas to help those systems work as they should are; BALANCED WOMAN, LIFE TRANSFUSION IONIC LIQUID MINERALS & ATOMIZED THYROID IODINE. With these along with a 7-day cleansing diet you will find some relief. But is most likely not the whole answer as you have let it go so long, but it is the place I would start? After six or eight weeks of those then we can reevaluate and see if anything else is needed.

Rebuilding your immune system is important and the 7-day cleansing diet will help with that as a large part of your immune system resides in the stomach and intestines and when those are rebalanced the overgrowth of candida/yeast that has developed as attested to by your digestive symptoms.

MOST IMPERATIVE  would be to start with the reproductive and thyroid balance - above formulas named for that - and digestive enzymes with probiotics, instruction on when to take them included in the cleansing diet you will receive by email should you decide to follow my recommendations. This particular formula will reestablish the natural stomach and intestinal flora that will kill the overgrowth.    This most likely will not correct your whole problem but you should find a great deal of relief?

I don't want to scare you, but if you continue the way you are you could be looking at a life and death situation very soon.

Thought for the Day
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ 

We are what we think!
Thoughts Are things!
Bible states: "As a man thinketh so is he!"

"Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives." ~ Sidney Madwed, Author and Consultant

Where is your mind in the realm of your health? Are you thinking positively or negatively? What healthy habits do you manifest? Your health will prosper or disappear when your mind does not comprehend or practice healthy habits and thoughts!

GETTING UP WHEN YOU'RE FEELING DOWN

Do you ever feel blah? Ever wish you had a permanent "picker-upper"? If so, this may be for you.

In the 1920s, if you were looking for a little pick-me-up with your mid-afternoon snack, you might have reached for a cold, refreshing glass of 7-Up. Well, it wasn't called 7-Up back then, it was called "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda." (Say THAT three times fast!)

Inventor C. L. Griggs' original recipe included the antidepressant lithium until the 1940s as a "picker-upper" (www.cadburyschweppes.com). The original Coca-Cola formula also included a "picker-upper" -- cocaine.

Today, people not suffering from serious depression understand that they usually don't need mood-altering drugs to cope with daily life. But most folks struggle with bouts of mild depression, despondency or "the blahs" from time to time. How do you pick yourself up when you're feeling down, without the aid of Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda?

I hope I'm not telling you anything new when I say that talking about the reasons you're down, making needed changes, watching your diet, getting enough exercise and sleep, developing a positive mental outlook and utilizing spiritual resources are all important pieces of our emotional puzzles. But one important strategy for feeling better (and one that's LEAST used) is as important as the rest. It is helping others in need.

* Visit a shut-in neighbor.
* Write a letter.
* Call a friend who has been struggling.
* Volunteer at church, synagogue or the local food pantry.
* Rake someone's leaves.
* Bake homemade bread for a new neighbor.
* Wash your spouse's car.
* Volunteer to baby-sit for a young mother.
* Plan an unexpected act of kindness.
* Give a gift for no reason at all.

The needs are abundant, and those who put aside some regular time to do something kind for others will often forget they were feeling low. Why does is work? I don't know ? it just does. Reach out and lift somebody else up and for some wondrous and magical reason, you lift yourself up, too.

Corrie Ten Boom beautifully said, "The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation." And if you've been feeling low, the best time to donate a piece of yourself is now.
