A woman just read the book Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food. She was fascinated to learn that the reason we get cellulite is due to a lack of collagen…

You need Keratin and Collagen to keep them all in great conditions…

Yeast will leach out of your body through yeast infections… Breakouts experienced under breasts, in the groin, repeated yeast infections, etc… Do a yeast cleanse every 3 years!

HYSTERECTOMY
~
Do you know some women have PCOS and do not need a hysterectomy? All because the doctor never tested all her hormones, etc…
~ True there are cases where because of PCOS a hysterectomy is needed…
~ I asked about this years ago in a forum and a woman confirmed 1st hand! (story in my blogdrive blog)
~ Question your tests and options, be sure!
~
METFORMIN:
~
- Metformin is the generic for the brand name Glucophage…Per Bristol Myers Squibb!
- IF anyone gets headaches or nausea from Metformin, stop taking it! Your body is rejecting the Met, it’s telling you it can’t tolerate the ingredients… Your doctors are lying to you saying its just your body getting used to the Met! Add Met to your list of allergic drugs….
- Docs get $ kickbacks, plus they may have no clue about Met!
- You should ask/demand Glucophage XR then, try it for a week or a month… You should not experience any ill symptoms!

DEPAKOTE
~
Valproate or divalproex (Depakote®), a drug used for epileptic seizures and some mood disorders, has been associated with a higher incidence of polycystic ovaries and hyperandrogenism.

BREAST

Rare type of breast cancer without a lump: There is a less common form of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer. Its symptoms can be an inflammation of the breast tissue, such as with a breast rash with redness and warmth, but not necessarily a physical breast lump. This type of breast cancer should be considered as an uncommon possibility for certain types of breast symptoms…

Symptoms Circle

Posted in FYI, MINERALS tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , at 1:25 am by PCOSLady

AROUND WE GO, WHERE WE STOP DEPENDS ON YOU!


~
The Vicious Circle of Symptoms
~
“Have you tried to alleviate health problems or physical ailments without success, or have you been given pills or treatments only to find that your symptoms remain?”
- Quote from Dr Decuypere…
~
I feel this is happening many times over today! I urge you to be “OPEN” minded to consider all possibilities out there… Medical options are modern, natural, homeopathic, Chinese, etc…
~ I always say “Go back to basics” when in trouble, etc…
~ Your body needs a breather from most pills after time… Go off them say for 30 days… Ask your doctor 1st depending on condition…
~ Your body also builds up an immunity to a pill over time… A switch for a while might be needed…
~ Remember to have your drug levels checked periodically as well… There are legal limits in the body on certain drugs! When over the legal limit new symptoms appear which many doctors will misdiagnose…
~
Minerals in you should be the first things checked… You need a base report to know where you are… Lack of a mineral causes medical conditions as do having an overage of a mineral in you…
~
Test: A hair sample is the best way i have heard of to check for almost everything in you… The report shows the good percentages and the lacking ones along with what you need… A naturalist doctor works on these results…
~
Fact: Doctors always test your blood… If a problem shows up in your blood, your body is starting to die inside…
~
Minerals should be tested first and periodically! As you know the body depends on them!
~
Doctors in med school are trained to only treat the symptoms, not the cause… Can you in vision the vicious circle? Some of you have experienced it in your parents, etc… Over medicated, person is almost a vegetable, loss of memory, $$$, etc…
~
FACTS
~ US doctors study the body one part at a time then are tested on it… Never being tested on how the body works as one…
- Told to me by Dr Omar Amin, who travels the world researching parasites…
~ Doctors outside the US are trained to treat the body as a whole… They are tested at the end of their schooling on how the body functions as one living thing…
- This explains why doctors from abroad know more and “fix” us faster, etc…
~
Medical conditions begin and continue and get outta hand in time at times…
~
Minerals List:
Calcium ~ Copper ~ Iodine ~ Iron ~ Magnesium ~ Maganese ~ Phosphorus ~ Potassium ~ Selenium ~ Sodium ~ Zinc
~
Nutrients are important too!
~
Vicious Circle: Symptoms..Doctors..Diagnosis..Drugs..$$$$…repeat!
~
STOP the circle, help yourself by being healthier!
~
Sure you need help for some things, not all things!
~
Fact: You have to keep track of your symptoms, almost diagnose yourself online, talking to others, reading, etc… Your symptoms and medial history does matter!
~
FACT: IF you are being treated by your doctor for your symptoms/condition and over 3 weeks they do not begin to lesson or go away, you seriously need to be tested for parasites!
~ 8 of 10 times it is parasites!
~ The other minor %’s the doctor misdiagnosed or mistreated them…
~
Fact: Your new best friend is your pharmacist! They know the drugs, the reactions and interactions with drugs and the body! Sit down with all you take even over the counter drugs and truly learn alot about you and your doctor(s)!

Hypertension, Diabetes, or Heart Disease can = Dementia

Posted in FYI tagged , , , at 12:41 am by PCOSLady

 
Ladies,
These medical conditions are under PCOS Syndrome too!  
We now know what we may face in our later years if not treated or treated properly…
- Sure is alot to consider….
I found this info interesting from www.EverydayHealth.com …
http://www.everydayhealth.com/PublicSite/index.aspx?puid=109cb8a3-304b-4dd3-9a35-1315e9456b73&p=1

Ask Dr. Robert Butler

Different Kinds of Dementia?

If your mother-in-law has hypertension, diabetes, or coronary heart disease, it is important that these be properly diagnosed and treated, as all can contribute to vascular forms of dementia and possibly Alzheimer’s disease as well. And if your mother-in-law does have one of the dementias, you need, unfortunately, to be thinking about the future. Are there other family members that could help with caregiving responsibilities so that there would be adequate respite for all? Planning ahead and getting the right support structure in place can be invaluable for minimizing distress not only for your mother-in-law but the entire family as well.

Hunger Hormone Found: Ghrelin

Posted in FYI tagged , , , at 11:02 pm by PCOSLady

Newly Discovered Hunger Hormone in PCOS Women
There are dozens of hormones and other signaling molecules that either stimulate or inhibit food intake. They form an exceedingly complex web of interrelationships.
You may have heard that if you could just get control of your insulin, you will not feel as hungry and your weight will melt away. While this is partially true, it’s an oversimplification. In fact, you may have numerous hormones or signaling molecules that are out of balance — either overactive or underactive.

There is no single factor that governs your weight, your fat metabolism or your hunger. It is a bewildering combination of factors, all interacting or influencing one another. An imbalance or disturbance of one signaling molecule will affect others, which in turn will affect still others.

No one, including research scientists and doctors, fully understands the functions and relationships of all these various signaling molecules, particularly as they exist in each unique woman. And, there are probably additional signaling molecules that haven’t yet been discovered.

One recently discovered hormone is called “ghrelin“. It helps to regulate how much food you eat and how much weight you gain.
