THE MENOPAUSAL YEARS by Susun Weed excerpt from NEW Menopausal Years the Wise Woman Way What Are the Menopausal Years? Human females are unique from all other females on two counts (at least): we menstruate; and we cease to be reproductively available after we've lived only half our life span. (Estrus bleeding in dogs is not menstruation.) The ancient women's mysteries tell us of the powers and initiations of these unique events: menstruation and menopause. This book focuses on the latter - the years of transformation from potential mother to wise, whole crone - the menopausal years. Meno (menstruation) pause (stops) is, technically, the last menstrual flow of a woman's life. The years just before and just after the menopause itself are referred to as the climacteric. For most women the climacteric spans from early/mid 40s to late 50s/early 60s, including the premenopausal years, the menopausal climax years, and the post-menopausal years, popularly known as the Change of Life. This Change is a metamorphosis (complete change at a cellular level). This metamorphosis follows, and may even be the matrix for, the three classic stages of initiation: isolation, death, and rebirth/reintegration. Each woman's Change includes these three stages, as well as three phases (before menopause, during menopause, and after menopause).

167. Help For Fibromyalgia For those who suffer from the pain, stiffness and fatigue of fibromyalgia, there is help. For those who suffer from fibromyalgia, there is help. http://www.jvm.com/health/fibro.htm

For those who suffer from fibromyalgia, there is help. The combination of malic acid and magnesium has been shown to relieve the pain and tenderness associated with fibromyalgia as well as increase energy production. Malic acid is a natural fruit acid which is present in all living cells and plays a key role in the energy-producing Krebs cycle. It is known as "apple acid" because it is found in high concentration in apples, as well as other fruits and vegetables. Magnesium is an essential mineral which plays a role in many of the reactions leading to energy production. Patients with chronic pain and fibromyalgia are often deficient in magnesium. In studies, patients with fibromyalgia noticed a significant improvement in pain within only 48 hours of receiving the malic acid + magnesium supplements. More and more doctors are recommending these supplements for their fibromyalgia patients as they have proven to effectively and safely improve fibromyalgia symptoms. Jorge Flechas, M.D., M.P.H., a holistic practitioner in Hendersonville, N.C., has participated in two medical studies that have tested the combination of malic acid and magnesium for fibromyalgia patients. In these studies, patients reported a significant reduction in pain and tenderness within 48 hours and without any side effects. In his practice, Flechas has used these combination supplements for six years on about 500 fibromyalgia patients. "I have found the results are positive 90 percent of the time," he says.

168. The Role Of Magnesium In Fibromyalgia. The Role of Magnesium in fibromyalgia. Please note, magnesium is only one of many possible treatments that can help fibromyalgia. http://web.mit.edu/london/www/magnesium.html

The Role of Magnesium in Fibromyalgia An investigatory paper by Mark London Please report any links that are not working to mrl@psfc.mit.edu This web page was the result of my research regarding magnesium, and why it's important not only for the average person, but especially for people with fibromyalgia. If you aren't interested in reading lots of studies, and are already convinced of magnesium's importance, then just click here to get to my recommendations. Please note, magnesium is only one of many possible treatments that can help fibromyalgia. It, by itself, cannot effectively treat it. Magnesium deficiency is very common in the general US population. Not only is our daily intake low, but we eat a diet which increases the demand for magnesium. And unfortunately, urinary magnesium loss can be increased by many factors, both physical and emotional. Magnesium loss increases in the presence of certain hormones. Stress can greatly increase magnesium loss. Even loud noises can extra magnesium loss. One article on the web goes so far as to say that that almost everyone is the United States is at least marginally deficient in magnesium. So there is an excellent chance that a person with fibromyalgia has a magnesium deficiency. But since people with fibromyalgia often have high levels of stress, and a disrupted hormonal system, they are more likely to be candidates for magnesium deficiency. Magnesium utilization is also increased by the presence of estrogen, and this might explain why many women are

170. Is Fibromyalgia Caused By A Mycoplasmal Infection? Evidence of neuroendocrine system dysfunction in fibromyalgia Review. Medline Clinical Research supporting Neuroendocrine factors in fibromyalgia. http://www.rain-tree.com/fibromyalgia.htm

Hypothesis: Fibromyalgia is caused by a mycoplasmal infection in the neuroendocrine system. Justification: The advances in research on Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) over the last 5 years has targeted specific links and correlations which might indicate a dysregulation or imbalance of the neuroendocrine system, especially the HPA axis, which may well explain many of the seemingly unrelated symptoms presented by FMS patients. Research supports that various components of the central nervous system appear to be involved, including the hypothalamic pituitary axes, pain-processing pathways, and autonomic nervous system. The advances in gene research during this same time peroid has provided new evidence in the identification and pathogenesis of specific species of mycoplasmas which might have the ability to cause a dysregulation of the neuroendocrine system. To learn more about mycoplasmas, how they deregulate cellular functions and cause a wide rang of diseases and syndromes in the body: Follow these links: What is a Mycoplasma?

173. "Amalgam Illness:" Diagnosis And Treatment Of Mercury Poisoning, Fibromyalgia, A Explains how to find out if someone has mercury poisoning (e.g. chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, ADHD, autism) and what to do to cure it. http://www.noamalgam.com/index.html

Mercury poisoning fibromyalgia chronic fatigue chemical sensitivity autism hyperactivity Amalgam Illness Diagnosis and Treatment A book on how to cure mercury poisoning by Andrew Hall Cutler, PhD, PE What is in the book Back cover copy Problems mercury can cause Diseases mercury can cause ... How to order the book A wide variety of debilitating and supposedly incurable conditions may actually be due to chronic mercury poisoning. Mercury poisoning can be easily cured if it is recognized. These conditions are seldom cured because mercury poisoning is believed to be rare. It is not. It is quite common. Thus, many people suffer needlessly. Many of today's "mystery syndromes" that physicians don't know how to treat at all - fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, anorexia, recurrent depression - aren't mystery syndromes. They are just mercury poisoning. Treating them as mercury poisoning cures them, while the usual treatments are seldom effective in the long term. This book gives practical guidance on how to tell if you really have chronic mercury poisoning or some other problem. If mercury poisoning is your problem, the book tells you how to get the mercury out of your body, and how to feel good while you do that. Sections also explain how the scientific literature shows many people must be getting poisoned by their amalgam fillings, why such a regulatory blunder occurred, and how the debate between "mainstream" and "alternative" medicine makes it more difficult for you to get the medical help you need.

It wasn't quite noon, yet she was already exhausted. She had been noticing that she didn't have as much energy with her second child as she had had with her first. Today was no different than the days before: Her muscles ached and she wasn't sleeping well. Nancy would eventually learn the reason for her pain and lack of energy: fibromyalgia syndrome, or FMS.
