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

Today is the first day of fall but we are still having summer temps, except at night so who knows if it really is fall or not? Joe's wife reads this newsletter but she like many others do not communicate with it so she is using Joe to do it for her. Have hair falling out, itchy scalp, sleep problems, etc. this could be your answer.

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...

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...

===========================

QUESTION:
 
 Lena, my wife asked me to write you as she doesn't use the computer much but she does read your newsletters every week. She us 49 years old and her scalp is itchy and I do not see anything there that could be causing it and her hair is dry, brittle and falling out. She is having some trouble sleeping along with some headaches. She seems to have a lot of colds in the winter time so I am going to make sure we both take the Ionic Silver Water daily to help prevent that. What do you think could be her problem and can you help her do something naturally to stop the problem?
 
Joe
 
 ANSWER:
 
You don't mention it but I bet she has taken birth control pills for many years as so many gals these days do! That decimates areas of the body you wouldn't expect. You don't say anything about her digestive health but intestinal system being one of those systems that also goes out of order when a woman has erratic hormone shifting and/or thyroid not functioning properly. That is where 80% of the immune system is so that will make her body unable to stop any viral or bacterial infections she comes in contact with... That is probably why she gets so many colds. You are smart to take the silver water but it isn't going to solve her problem completely.
 
With just your wife's the sleep issue, dry, thinning hair and itchy scalp tells me her reproductive system and/or thyroid is most likely not functioning as they should. At 49 those things start to happen but most women don't notice it until it is much worse and menopause has begun. This sometimes leads to fibroid tumors of the uterus when let go too long or sometimes a fibroid brings on the symptoms. Only an exam by a gynecologist can tell if she has fibroids as the symptoms are the same as when both the reproductive and/or thyroid go awry. We usually treat both as the thyroid and reproductive system is directly linked and needs treating together.
 
PeriMenopause - that's pre-menopause - is starting much earlier than in centuries past. Sometimes lasting 8 to 15 years before menopause actually begins...
 
I am helping gals in their 20's who are having perimenopause corrected and my daughter stated into hers in her early 30's and wouldn't listen to me until she developed thyroid cancer in her early 40's, but has been cancer free for 4+ years treated with herbs, minerals and diet.
 
There are no definitive tests to determine perimenopause only symptoms... Because some of the symptoms for the reproductive system and thyroid not functioning properly are the same as you may notice.
 
Here are symptoms for PeriMenopause;
 
*Dry hair
*Thinning Hair
*Itching scalp
*dry skin on all of or some parts of the body
*sleep problems - trouble getting to sleep or trouble staying asleep once she gets to sleep.
*headaches - migraines are very common with hormone radical fluctuations
* hot flashes - some may be so light she doesn't think of it as a hot flash just that it seems warmer for a while.
*trouble thinking, sometimes
*irregular menses, sometimes light sometimes heavy and sometimes just spotty periods or skipping a month here or there.
* mood swings - sometimes feeling of depression for a few hours to a day or two.
 
Symptoms of thyroid insufficiency:
 
*Dry, Coarse Hair
*Puffy Face
*Enlarged Thyroid (Goiter)
*Occasional Slow or erratic Heartbeat
*Headaches
*Arthritis pains
*Cold Intolerance ? when combined with hormones out of whack may not notice this so much.
*Depression
*Dry Skin
*Forgetfulness
*Heavy Menstrual Periods
*Infertility
*Muscle Aches
*Weight Gain
*Constipation
*Brittle Nails

If she has more than two or three of any of the above and still not sure then she may want to be absolutely sure it's a thyroid problem ? when blood tests show normal thyroid function it is misleading as my daughter?s were totally normal her whole life and even when she had the thyroid cancer and four tumors so don?t depend on them as the majority will be normal and aren't - she can do the home thyroid check for her peace of mind. Instructions found online at
simple_thyroid_test_for_problems.
 
If she wants to call me have her do so?
 
In the meantime until I hear from her or you the basic steps she needs to take are;
The following step is absolutely important for everyone I know...
Balanced minerals, instructions given with purchase as you have to work up to the correct balance... this will allow the body to absorb what few nutrients do remain in our foods we eat as well as improve brain electrical impulses so the organs get correct signals. For without that balance the body slowly breaks down over the years. Some start younger yet others with great health genes get a reprieve and illness or organ break down comes later in life, but it WILL happen and in most instances is regarded as age related health issues by conventional medicine but most could have been prevented! To correct the hormonal and thyroid balance requires Balanced Woman from 1 to 3 three times a day, BW does not contain hormones but has a host of herbs that stimulate the hormone/testosterone/progesterone producing glands to produce in balance. Then She will need thyroid balancing Iodized Iodine. Thyroid/iodine is more than just iodine - 1 capsule with each meal and 1 before bedtime on an empty stomach. To rebuild her immune system and to do that will require balancing the digestive enzymes and probiotics. We do it with Probiotic Digestive Enzyme Formula. 1 to 2 capsules at the beginning of each meal and 2 at bedtime on an empty stomach.
 
These steps do not reverse hormone or thyroid function overnight, natural medicine takes weeks to months so give any protocol at least 3 months. Most of the gals find it within a few days to weeks and some take 10 to 12 weeks, it depends on how out of balance things are!
 
Any drugs or medications taken with these steps may make it totally impossible for success!
 
Something natural for hair loss in both men and women; One of my friends discovered this by simply trying it as he was missing a lot of hair and he called me a couple of weeks after starting the following and told me he was growing hair again on his head and he did grow some, just not as thick as before, but he has continued to keep it by putting 1 teaspoon of Life Transfusion Ionic Liquid minerals sprinkled on his head and massaged into the bald and balding scalp after getting out of the shower OR mixing 1 teaspoon Life Transfusion Ionic Liquid Minerals with 1 cup warm water and slowly pouring on  the hair and massaging into the scalp immediately before getting out of the shower. I've told others and it has worked to stop a lot of people's hair loss, so have her try that... It has not worked for those who have been bald for many years.

 I hope my answers can help her begin to see a light at the end of the tunnel and realize there are natural alternatives!

Thought for the Day
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ 
We don't know if cows actually like M&Ms, but they are eating them! The Wall Street Journal reports that the cost of corn has risen as more of it is being used to make ethanol; corn has been the mainstay of the diet given to cattle in the United States. So ranchers are incorporating unlikely alternatives like broken and rejected M&Ms and potato chips because they are cheaper. Compared to some of the other things that ranchers can and do feed cattle, maybe it's not such a bad thing.

Do the cattle become hyperactive after munching on the M&Ms? We don't know if their meat will contain any residue of the dyes and artificial flavorings, but as Michael Pollan pointed out in his book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, the things these animals eat eventually become what we eat. We also wonder about the high sulfite levels in meat from cattle fed cornstarch and corn steep liquor. If you suspect that corn or high sulfur products bother you or your child, you might want to seek out a source of grass-fed meat and see if you notice a difference.

WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT

Author Erynn Miller said: "It takes a lot of understanding, time and trust to gain a close friendship with someone. As I approach a time in my life of complete uncertainty, my friends are my most precious
asset."

I had a friend who felt that way. I sat next to Hal's "death-bed" and thought about the fact that I had known him for over twenty years. Hal knew he was dying and that these next few days would be his last. I held his hand.

We spent time reminiscing about his long and fruitful career as a church pastor. We talked about old friends. We chatted about his family. And I listened as he offered a piece of sage wisdom to someone he believed represented a "younger generation."

Hal seemed to carefully consider what he was about to say next. Then he squeezed my hand, gazed intently into my eyes and whispered, just loud enough for me to hear, "Nothing is more important than relationships."

I knew that this utterance somehow mattered a great deal to him. He seemed to consider a lifetime of experiences - personal, professional, spiritual and family - and this one simple observation surfaced above the rest: "Nothing is more important than relationships."

"Don't get too caught up in your career," he said. "And don't use people just to get what you want, then throw them away. No project, no program, no task - NOTHING - is more important than your friends and family." I never knew Hal that well, but I wondered if he were talking as much to himself as to me.

"Remember," he repeated, "that in the end, only your relationships will matter. Tend them well."

Writer Og Mandino put it this way: "Beginning today," he said, "treat everyone you meet as if he or she were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do so with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again."

At the end of a long life, my friend Hal would have agreed.
