			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Winter is here and we are more than likely to catch a cold or the flu.  You can prepare yourself and your family with herbs and home remedies to avoid infection and to build up  a good strong immune system.  Menopause can and does change your life.  What did our grandmothers give us?  They made up these good herbal remedies..  I still remember cod liver oil as a very good home remedy to take care of colds.  </p>
<p>A strong immune system is essential for our body so it can fight and eliminate cancerous cells.   It is difficult to ignore, it is almost impossible not to, we are scared about epidemics and  the Swine flu.<br />
We know that exercise will help our immune system, but we need to know that not all exercise will strengthen the immune system.  If you work out too hard or over do your training, you will cause havoc on your body and it will create toxins that may produce to much of a hormone that will burden and may temporarily lower the immune system. </p>
<p>Dr. Zasloff says, while slathering yourself with sunscreen helps protect against skin cancer, it may deprive your immune system from vitamin D, a nutrient that research now links to immune function. In winter months the sun exposure will lessen and the vitamin D will be at a low level.  Add to your regime plenty of vitamins and minerals to promote a strong immune system.   I cannot say enough about the things that will help:  nutrition, exercise, sleep,reduce stress, improve mood, get sunlight, and work on your environment. Nothing like being with good friends (women) and hanging out.  You cannot have enough laughter or tears because it releases good chemicals that help rid the body of toxins that will take down the immune system.<br />
Please  see below a link that maybe useful and beneficial for you.  </p>

So my doctor put me on blood pressure medicine. It was a very mild dosage and had very little side affects. Can I treat my high blood pressure with diet and exercise? His response was yes you could. So I did just that and as of today my blood pressure is still kept maintained by diet and exercise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-207" href="http://www.thehotflashcoach.com/go.php?http://www.thehotflashcoach.com/liver-organ-emotion/lotus2" title="(No click)"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-207" title="lotus2" src="http://www.thehotflashcoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/lotus2-150x150.jpg" alt="lotus2" width="150" height="150" /></a>The liver is and important organ in the body and is the largest organ. The function of the liver is to store vitamins, sugars, fats, and other nutrients from the food you eat. It builds chemicals that your body needs to stay healthy, breaks down harmful substances like alcohol and other toxic (poisonous) chemicals, and removes waste products from your blood. Every organ, gland and tissue is dependent upon the liver, and the liver depends upon the digestive tract.</p>
<p>The liver is known as an organ of emotion and even thought. The liver is located behind the ribs on the right side of the abdomen. The liver empties harmful material from the blood and produces enzymes and bile that aids the digestive system. A healthy liver is critical to proper protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism. The liver performs numerous functions for the body: converting nutrients derived from food into essential blood components, storing vitamins and minerals, regulating blood clotting, producing proteins and enzymes, maintaining hormone balances, and metabolizing and detoxifying substances that would otherwise be harmful to the body.<br />
The liver is connected to a lot of bodily organs. One of the most common diseases of the liver is hepatitis.</p>
<p>Hepatitis A, B and C are the most common forms of liver disease in the U.S. The liver is responsible for a lot of functions. The liver is responsible for our vision. If you are irritable and anger this affects the liver and here is what can result: menstrual pain, headache, redness of the face and eyes, dry mouth and dizziness. More than any other organ the liver is affected by our negative thoughts and feelings. The liver stores our blood, it opens our eyes and it rules our tendons and marks our nails.</p>
<p>A bad diet will gradually weaken the digestive system; the organ that is affected by this bad diet is the liver. This is why when people cleanse or take herbs to cleanse and strengthen the liver, strong emotions surface. The cleansing reaction must occur if we are to rid ourselves of the cause of our problems. Women suffering with menopausal and menstrual problems, infertility and endometriosis can get great results from a liver cleanse and detoxification. This is why cleansing of our liver is so important in helping rejuvenating the liver.</p>

The age most women reach menopause is between 45 and 55 years of age is the average and for reaching menopause is about 50 years. There are a small percentage of women that reach menopause before age 40. What are menopause allergies? They are allergens that have substances, often times eaten or inhaled, that can cause an allergic reaction when recognized by the immune system. The problem that makes it worse, it can be almost anything that menopausal women are allergic too.</span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Our body immune system and body hormones use the same chemical messenger that allergies react from. These changes will affect the overall working of our bodies. It all comes back to our h</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">ormones that is imbalanced due to our menopause. </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Our immune system will suffer and make menopausal woman more prone to allergies. </span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #666666; font-family: Tahoma;">Just to name some of the allergy symptoms we suffer with. The allergy symptoms will affect each individual differently some will be mild to severe. </span></span><span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> <span style="color: #666666;">As for myself I can experience very mild to severe symptoms. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #666666; font-family: Tahoma;">I have just gotten to know my body well over the 50 years and understand what is going on. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;">Also note that what caused your hypersensitive today may change the next day. This of course presents problems for the medical practioners dealing with menopause and allergies symptoms. This is why we have to take charge of our lives and research and look for natural healthy alternatives.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #666666; font-family: Tahoma;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #000000;">Allergies are often the result of an overloaded toxic state within the liver.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>As I have been studying diet and herbs, the human body I found out a lot about the liver and the important role it plays. If the quantity of a substance entering the bloodstream is too great for the liver to process quickly, the immune system recognizes the molecules as being an allergen and produces antibodies against them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>So if the liver is filtering and processing correctly the allergen would not have the affect on our body. </span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #666666; font-family: Tahoma;">The allergy season is upon us and I have started to experience some of these symptoms listed. What I have noticed is since I am doing a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>cleanse right now my body is fighting the allergy symptoms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #000000;">The Chinese call this formula &#8220;tiao he,&#8221; which means “harmonizing.” In herbology, it is considered a liver-cleansing formula. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #666666; font-family: Tahoma;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma;">This is where lifestyle changes should begin and be very careful when choosing a remedy or medicine to treat the allergy symptom. Keep your windows and doors close to prevent pollen and other allergens from entering into the home or car. Wash your bed sheets and linen in hot water at least once a week. Also buy allergy free pillowcases and bed protectors. Take a look at your diet, exercise and start eating right. Start taking natural supplements that will relieve these symptoms.</span></p>

<p class="MsoBlockText" style="margin: auto 12.85pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In order for our body to function at its peak performance it is important that we get the amount of water needed. Remember that our body is about 75 percent water and it is easy to understand water must be our body’s most essential daily ingredient. Our bodies loose each day about 2-3 litters of water through elimination, urination, perspiration and respiration. However, this may increase during illness, high performance, exercise, pregnancy and nursing.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello, my name is Tally Green and I reside in Loganville, Georgia. I am a 50 year old hardworking woman and the titles I wear are wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, caregiver, office manager, home based business owner, and “hot flash” coach. I have been married twenty years and together my husband and I have a total of six children.&nbsp; I also am very pleased to say that I have been blessed with seven and a half grandchildren, number eight due in May 2009.</p>
<p>When menopause walked in my door, I was not prepared for it. The doctors did not know what the issue was and neither did I. I was lost in the sauce and needed some help to figure it all out. </p>
<p>When I started looking for healthy natural alternatives, I was at an end with my doctors. To the best of my recollection, the menopause symptoms started in 1997. The hot flashes were what drove me the craziest. At the time, I did not understand what was going on with my body. I had no idea this was the start of menopause. I began to suffer with real bad cramps and a very heavy loss of blood during my cycles. This is what led me to think that there may be something wrong with my body. </p>
<p>The doctor said that I had Menorraghia, which is excessive bleeding during menstruation.&nbsp; Then came the fibroids, cysts, and urinary incontinence, breast problems, weight gain, fatigue, high blood pressure, acid reflex, anxiety attacks, memory loss, fits of rage, incontrollable crying, depression, midriff bulge, and the list still goes on. There are close to thirty-five symptoms of pre-menopause and menopause.</p>
<p>My doctors had done every test they could think of. None of them came back with the reason for suffering. No one was able to say, “You are going through menopause.” The test for hormones revealed nothing showing I was in menopause. This is when I had to take control of my health and search for natural, healthy alternatives. It was quite an interesting journey. </p>
<p>I searched the internet for networking groups with the hopes of finding people using herbs and natural supplements. In my search I was reminded of Matthew 7:7 &#8211; <i><b>“Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened for you.”</b></i><br />&nbsp;<br />I found this Ryze network and there were a lot of individuals with home based businesses. So, I began my search for people using natural healthy alternatives. Then I joined a women’s group called WIN, Women In Networking. In WIN, women are all in home based business and a lot of them were promoting healthy product alternatives. This was the place where I found answers to my symptoms and my life turned in the right direction.</p>
<p>I joined this hormone yahoo group that was ran by a very determined woman who went on a quest for her health, found it,&nbsp; and was on a mission to help other women like herself. She shared her success story and it inspired me. Little did I know that this would be the turning point in my life and so it became my desire to share with all women the natural ways to heal their minds, bodies, and spirits by using natural health alternatives.</p>
<p>She helped me to understand that my hormones needed to be balanced. She started me with an all natural progesterone cream and that is when the symptoms started to become manageable. My life was looking up. There still were the usual ups and downs, but things got better. I stayed on this site and networked myself with women that were into living a healthy life.</p>
<p>I sought help for myself and started reading everything I could get my hands on and that dealt with diet, herbs, organic, natural, and essential oils. I sought help and advice from women who were knowledgeable in their respected field of natural and women’s health. I talked with health consultants, naturopaths, certified herbalists, aroma therapists, and yoga instructors. I attended classes, workshops, conferences and online classes. I started learning about exercise and began taking yoga classes. I found out how yoga was beneficial in aiding me with the stress associated with day to day life and my menopause stage. </p>
<p>I am passionate about health and helping all women learn the natural ways to heal there minds, bodies, and spirits. <br />My life journey has allowed me to experience tough lessons and to learn from the hard knocks in life.&nbsp; None of this would have been possible without my spiritual walk with my Creator.&nbsp; As well as the joy I find in my children and grandchildren, family and friends.</p>
<p>My favorite scripture is Jeremiah 29:11-14 <i><b>“For I know the plans I have for you,&#8221; declares the LORD, &#8220;plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.&nbsp; Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.&nbsp; You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.&nbsp; I will be found by you,&#8221; declares the LORD, &#8220;and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,&#8221; declares the LORD, &#8220;and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.&#8221;</b></i></p>
<p>In my walk with menopause I have been spiritual, accepted, celebrated, balanced, embraced, inspired and motivated.&nbsp; Now what does that tell you about my walk that if I can overcome and then we all can overcome menopause.</p>
