The Candida Handbook
I can't tell you how many of my patients are absolutely convinced they have Candida. They read it on a website, their symptoms are listed in a book, someone told them they did, they had a test. I'm here to tell you that often, the symptoms you are experiencing are not Candida, which explains why whatever treatment you choose, does not eliminate the symptoms altogether. Instead, they keep returning. True Candida infestation is simply a natural process of your intestinal tract that has gone out of control, often after antibiotic therapy, severe stress, long-term intestinal cleansing or severe illness. So don't jump to conclusions, but instead keep your head and read on.

Issues such as cysts, tumors, hiatal hernia and even prolapses can be at the root of constipation, bloating, pain and abdominal distention.

Women... Period!
Menstruation is the essence of a woman's health. It involves all the glands, all her body energy, her blood and her emotional balance. If issues are occuring early in life, there will definately be greater problems later in life. This is troubling since PMS is said to be one of the most common health problems in our society. The reality, however, is that many women have developed an irregularity in their cycles which produce these often debilitating symptoms, and that is not normal. The normal menstrual cycle should be free of pain, bloating, cramping or mood swings. How can you finally have a normal period?

A Woman's Change of Life: Menopause Revealed
There is a period of time for both men and women that is the natural and normal transition from reproductive hormone levels to post-reproductive hormone levels. Menopause is the term for the female side of this change, while andropause is the term coined for the male version of this change of life. This time should be a normal, transitional experience, but often women experience uncomfortable symptoms for years. Even physicians lead women to believe that this transition cannot be accomplished without replacement hormonal therapy. What can you do? Lots...
