What are fibroids?
Fibroid tumors are usually benign (non-cancerous) tumors found, most often, in the uterus of women in their 30's and 40's, although they occasionally develop on other organs which contain smooth muscle cells.
Fibroid tumors are solid tumors which are made of fibrous tissue, hence the name 'fibroid' tumor. Most often fibroids occur as multiple tumor masses which are slow-growing and often cause no symptoms.
The size of fibroids varies widely among women and some are so small that a microscope is required to see them. However some women experience a single large fibroid...
Brief
Recent news accounts have highlighted the increased breast cancer risk caused by post-menopausal Estrogen Replacement Therapy. Are we, however, missing the forest for the trees? If a high estrogen level is dangerous after menopause, what about before menopause? Shouldn't women be worried about their estrogen levels during their reproductive years?
Ingram, et al (1987), Goldin and Gorbach, (1988), and others showed that high-fat diets fuel the body's mechanisms for producing estrogen. Most women in western nations consume such a diet, resulting in an over consumption and an over-production...

Serenity for Women Cream contains a plant-based moisturizer, VegePure™
Technical Specifications
Most creams and other cosmetic formulaes contain mineral oil (a petroleum derivative). While many materials can provide some temporary relief of dry skin by acting as humectants or emollients, few materials can actually repair the skin's moisture barrier to provide immediate relief of the symptoms of dry skin. The glycolipids and natural oils found in Vegepure™ have been shown to do this and over time actually cure dry skin.
Published studies have led to the conclusion that Vegepure™,...

Progesterone is very well absorbed transdermally (through the skin) where it is stored in the fatty tissues for use as needed and unlike progesterone taken orally, it is not subject to being intercepted by the liver. For those women who are especially deficient in progesterone, it may take three to twelve months to restore optimal levels. For men with prostate disorders results may be felt within one or two days, but long term benefits may require six months.
In the morning and at bedtime, the cream should be gently massaged by the palms of the hands to areas of the body where one blushes:...
PMS - Traditional & Successful Treatments
Traditional PMS Treatments
Traditional treatments have included tranquilizers, diuretics, dietary changes, thyroid supplements, herbs, vitamins, exercise, acupuncture and psychiatric counseling. While these may provide some easing of symptoms, the underlying causes remain.
Successful Treatments
Dr. Joel T. Hargrove of Vanderbilt University Medical Center has seen some success in treating PMS with oral doses of natural progesterone.* The problem with oral progesterone administration, however, is that the liver intercepts approximately 90% of the hormone....
Immunity & Candida
The human intestinal tract harbors just over 400 different species of bacteria, of which there are thousands of strains. They are divided into two general groups, "friendly" and "unfriendly". While both play an important role in overall health, an imbalance of the normal ratios of these bacteria may result in a wide variety of symptoms which range from anxiety to hypoglycemia.
Antibiotics, birth control pills, mercury (from fillings), antacids, stress and many other over the counter/prescription medications kill significant levels of "friendly" bacteria, allowing "unfriendly"...
The Hidden Hazards of Microwave Cooking
by Anthony Wayne and Lawrence Newell
Is it possible that millions of people are ignorantly sacrificing their health in exchange for the convenience of microwave ovens? Why did the Soviet Union ban the use of microwave ovens in 1976? Who invented microwave ovens, and why? The answers to these questions may shock you into throwing your microwave oven in the trash.
Over 90% of American homes have microwave ovens used for meal preparation. Because microwave ovens are so convenient and energy efficient, as compared to conventional ovens, very few homes or restaurants...
The Food and Nutrition Board recommends that public water supplies be fluoridated when natural fluoride levels are significantly below 0.7 mg per liter.
The accepted concentration of fluoride in drinking water is 1 ppm. Concentrations over 2 ppm begin to be a health risk.
Aluminum fluoride and Alzheimer's Disease
Many municipal water supplies are treated with both alum (aluminum sulfate) and fluoride. These two chemicals combine with each other easily in the blood to form aluminum fluoride. Although elemental aluminum can not pass the blood-brain barrier, some compounds such as aluminum fluoride...
