Worst Menopause Symptoms May Start in Brain

Study challenges old notion that menopause starts in the ovaries.Some of the most unpleasant symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats, have long been believed to originate in the ovaries. But new research challenges that assumption, and instead suggests that menopausal symptoms, at least in part, may begin in the brain. That's because the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland stop reacting normally to estrogen in some women, suggesting they may have developed a reduced sensitivity to estrogen, researchers at the New Jersey Medical School report in the Dec. 22/29 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. "This...

Plant and natural supplements for menopause symptoms

One of best plant and natural supplement for menopause symptoms are Menozac.Their ingredients such as Vitamin E (as d-alpha-tocopherol acetate), Soy (Glycine max) (seed), Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) (root), Damaiana (Turnerna diffusa) (leaf) ease the way through the turmoil of menopause.How those ingredients works and benefits you can check on their site.Some of menopause symptoms: Mood swings (often mistaken for bi-polar or mental illness).It's really not that bad and can be controlled.Hot flashes & night sweats (one time you are stoking hot, the next you are chilled to the bone.)Changes in skin (dark patches on the face of some women caused by hormones) pimples, more moles, skin tags on the body.

Croton Oil

Croton Oil Fights Prostate CancerPISCATAWAY, N.J.An active ingredient found in the oil of the Southeast Asian croton plant--12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, commonly known as TPA; may inhibit the growth of new prostate cancer cells, according to researchers at Rutgers University.We demonstrated TPA could simultaneously stop the growth of new prostate cancer cells, kill existing cancer cells and ultimately shrink prostate tumors, said Allan Conney, Ph.D., one of the study's authors. The researchers also tested the effect of TPA in combination with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a vitamin A derivative that has been shown to effectively treat...

Hypothyroidism causes early menopause

Menopause can be a difficult time for many women. Reductions in circulating estrogen hormone levels result in a number of physical and physiological changes, which in turn may lead to mental and emotional stress. While short-term hormone replacement therapy helps many women, most symptoms of menopause can be relieved with the use of thyroid curing medicine that is thyromine.Thyromine works very well for people who have 'hypothyroidism’ a key cause of early start of menopause. All the ingredients of thyromine (For example L-Tyrosine, Guglipid, Adrenal Powder from Bovine, Piper Longum Extract and Ginger extract) work to stimulate the metabolism, bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol help regulate body's stress levels, increase the production of thyroid hormones and stimulate...

Prostate cancer and natural treatment

Dietary changes should be on the prescription pads of doctors treating men with prostate cancer. New research shows that eating more whole grains, vegetables, fruit, and legumes while eating less meat, dairy, and refined carbohydrates could slow the progression of the deadly disease.Studies have associated the Western diet not only with prostate cancer incidence but also with a greater risk of disease progression after treatment, said Gordon A. Saxe, MD, PhD, lead author of the study and assistant professor of Family and Preventive Medicine at the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego. Conversely, many elements of plant-based diets have been associated with reduced risk of progression.Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a marker for prostate cancer recurrence and often...

Alternative treatment for localized prostate cancer

New research suggests that green tea may help prevent the spread of prostate cancer. Specifically phytochemicals in green tea, called polyphenols attack growth factors and proteins, interrupting growth processes of tumors, thus preventing them from spreading to other organs. Since earlier studies suggests that the same natural plant substances might also help prevent the start of prostate cancer, researchers indicate that more studies are needed on green tea’s affect on fighting this common cancer. The best way to reduce your risk of prostate cancer still lies in eating a mostly vegetarian diet. Studies on diet and cancer also show that green tea when tested with mice with an aggressive form of cancer can decrease the spread or metastasis of prostate cancer to liver, bone, and other...

Liver Cirrhosis

This is the end stage of any chronic liver disease.Cirrhosis is a condition that refers to irreversible scarring ( fibrosis ) of the liver. As scar tissue replaces normal tissue, blood flow through your liver is affected. This makes it increasingly difficult for your liver ( liver failure ) to carry out essential functions, such as detoxifying harmful substances, purifying your blood and manufacturing vital nutrients.Cirrhosis rarely causes signs and symptoms in its early stages. But as liver function deteriorates, you may experience fatigue, nausea, unintended weight loss, and swelling in your legs and abdomen. In time, jaundice — a yellowing...
