NATURAL Hormone Replacement Therapy
hormone our bodies make, and not synthetic ones made by the pharmaceutical industry, which can be harmful as well as helpful. With replacement, patients report an increase in their psy- chological well being. PMS symptoms can be resolved, not uncommonly, in weeks. The medical benefits are a decrease in cardiac disease, vascular disease, strokes, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and even cancers. Because our goal is to return hormone levels to an optimal range, we test the following for any deficiencies: Thyroid hormone, which regulates temperature, metabo-

lism, cerebral function, and energy levels. It can protect against cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, memory loss, fatigue and weight gain. DHEA, which stimulates the immune system, can restore
sexual vitality, improves moods, and decreases cholesterol and body fat. It improves memory, increases energy, and has anti- cancer properties by enhancing the immune system. Melatonin, which influences the quality and quantity of sleep, is also an energizer, a mood enhancer, and an antioxidant. It has also been shown to decrease the incidence of nocturia (getting up at night to urinate). Estrogen, has been proven to reduce the effects of heart
disease, stroke, high cholesterol, Alzheimer's disease, memory loss, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, skin thinning, the incidence of depression, and reverse the lack of libido. Progesterone, which acts as an antidepressant, mild tranquil-
izer, and natural painkiller. Bioidentical progesterone can elimi- nate symptoms of menopause, PMS emotional instability, headaches, and mood swings. Testosterone, which drops significantly in men over age 50.
This lowered level accounts for a loss of a man's sense of well- being, decrease in decrease in sex drive, loss of general muscle mass, increased abdominal obesity, osteoporosis, decrease in mental acuity, and decreased strength and endurance. And, yes, testosterone levels should be tested in women, as well. Testos- terone therapy can reverse the gradual sexual apathy that occurs over time, while also increasing energy, and strength.

Fibromyalgia and the
UNDISCOVERED Link to Thyroid Issues
F
ibromyalgia has been explained as a chronic disease process that produces points in muscles and joint areas. Other symp- toms include stiffness and problems of the nervous system
including fatigue, poor sleep quality and depression. This disease develops gradually and can affect all parts of the body. Although it has been described as a chronic condition, there are often peri- ods of exacerbation and remission. So at times it can cause a person to have no symptoms at all where as when it is at its worst, it can cause a person to be almost completely disabled.
The Symptoms of Fibromyalgia For those suffering with fibromyalgia there are points in muscles, tendons and ligaments throughout the body that are tender to palpation. Most of these points are located near and around the joints. These tender spots are known as trigger points and are portions of the muscle that have contracted and become spasmed, causing pain during pressure or with activity. These points constantly ache and create a more intense feeling with pressure. Although this disease affects the muscles and ligaments, many fibromyalgia sufferers enjoy relief from their pain with myotherapy sessions – like massage, or even activities with exercise. In fact, for many, as the muscles warm and blood flow increases with activity, the pain often dissipates, and for many can completely disappear. Many people experience a variety of symptoms including:
- Muscular stiffness, especially in the morning. - Mental and physical fatigue. - Poor quality of sleep. People are unable to reach restful and healing sleep stages. - Muscular tension. - Dizziness. - Anxiety. - Depression.
- Bowel dysfunction including constipation, bloating and for some diarrhea.

And many other body system issues as well. In fact, over time
this disease can lead to increased body inflammation which can cause a host of other illnesses. The exact causes of fibromyalgia are not yet fully understood. Although many people have found that trauma and injury can begin this process, it is not always traceable to a trauma. Some
