Useless pharamaceuticals, uselss medical procedures?

Yes, at least 40 percent of them are useless, have never worked and should be stopped, according to a recent comprehensive survey!

This is a scary statistic, but one that is particularly meaningful, coming as it does from a doctor who is well-entrenched in the orthodox medical system. Dr. Vinay Prasad is a chief fellow of America’s National Cancer Institute. In reviewing 363 studies on established medical practices, Dr Prasad found that just 38 per cent were proven to be beneficial; 22 per cent were inconclusive and 40 per cent were not helping the patient. The study was reported in The Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2013; 88.

One of the commonly prescribed drugs that was found to be useless was Hormone Replacement Therapy prescribed for post-menopausal women to prevent heart disease. Since heart disease is a real cause for concern after menopause , you might like to know that there is an alternative to HRT. Femmenessence is a scientifically proven, natural product which does in fact confer heart protective effects, at the same time it protects your bones and your cognitive function. It very effectively reduces the hot flushes and other symptoms of menopause  as well!

"The Menopause Trap"??

On my soapbox about the other end of a woman’s reproductive life today and I do get angry when journalists and health writers talk about menopause in terms that surely leave women wondering what they’re in for...

Today's SMH article really lays it on “it's something women dread”, “10 years of hot flushes”, “50 hot flushes a day”, “a time for anti-depressants” and so on. 

Nothing for it but to ignore the $1 billion Women's Health Initiative study and reach for the HRT!

I’m trusting Sydney Morning Herald won’t reject my comment which mentions Femmenessence by name, as a clinically researched natural alternative to HRT with documented positive effects on hormone levels (together with positive effects on hot flushes and all the other things that make this a trying time for so many women). 

But as usual, a product can only do so much and even though I plan to continue taking Femmenessence into the sunset (for my bones, heart and neurological function) I’m working hard at all the dietary, lifestyle and exercise elements that have made menopause not much more than a cessation of my menstrual cycle. And if I manage to find a publisher who isn’t terrified of the word menopause you’ll be able to read all about those self-help measures in a new book. Meanwhile, those measures are pretty much the same as the ones that support healthy conception and pregnancy!
