Menopause

The word menopause means the natural and permanent stopping of the monthly female reproductive cycles, which is usually manifest as a permanent absence of monthly periods or menstruation.

The term is most often used in regard to human females, where the condition happens more or less in midlife, signaling the end of the fertile phase of a woman's life, and ushering in the third, traditionally wiser, part of a woman's life. It is perhaps most easily understood as the opposite process to menarche.

Menopause in women cannot however simply be defined as the permanent "stopping of the monthly periods", because in reality what is happening to the uterus is quite secondary to the process.

In fact the uterus can be surgically removed in a younger woman, and although the periods will cease permanently and the woman will technically be infertile, as long as the ovaries (or one ovary) are, or is, still functioning, the woman will not be in menopause, because ovulation, and the release of the sequence of reproductive hormones that are an essential part of the reproductive cycles, will continue until the normal time is reached.

Menopause is in fact triggered by the shutting down or surgical removal of of the ovaries, which are a part of the body's endocrine system of hormone production, in this case the hormones which make sexual behavior and reproduction possible.

The process of the ovaries shutting down is a phenomenon which involves the entire cascade of a woman's reproductive functioning from brain to skin, and this major physiological event usually has some effect on almost every aspect of a woman's body and life.

Effects of Everyday Pollution

In todays modern and industrial age, pollution levels are noticeably higher than they were prior to industrialization. Everyday we're subjected to all types of waste, chemical, biological, insecticides, pesticides. These can cause enormous problems. These problems include symptoms of menopause in both men and women.

There is much more damage from everyday pollution than most of the community is aware of.

In particular, there are active molecules called xenoestrogens, which come from many sources, that are very rapidly causing enormous changes to our health, particularly the health of females.

These xenoestrogens come from areas of pollution and environmental toxicity like: pesticides, plastics, petro-chemicals, food emulsifiers and dietary products. These xenoestrogens act as "false" or "foreign" estrogens and help activate hormonal imbalance in many females.

This is termed "estrogen dominance".

These excessive levels of estrogen, or alternatively, low levels of progesterone, can cause enormous problems, including menopause symptoms, osteoporosis, breast cancer, uterine cancer, hot flushes, irritability, PMT, PMS and infertility.

Xenoestrogens and free radicals have even been shown to cause a dramatic reduction of sperm counts in males of all species - including humans on our planet . This is an enormous problem that requires correction on two fronts.

Firstly: reduce the estrogen dominance.

How?

Reduce your xenoestrogen intake by reducing the amount of red meat that you eat.
Decrease your and your families exposure to plastics, "off-gassing" chemicals, pesticides, and similar products.
Reduce your exposure to estrogen (eg HRT) and reduce obesity, which also leads to increased levels of estrogen in the body.
Combat xenoestrogens by taking antioxidant supplements.

Secondly: Increase the level of natural progesterone in the body.

This is possible through the use of chaste berry cream and also natural progesterone which is derived from wild yam extract.
