Rheumatoid Arthritis and Progesterone?

QUESTION: My daughter give birth to her son 3 1/2 months ago. She is now experiencing some odd symptoms that the doctor suspects might be rheumatoid arthritis - stiff hands, feet, joints etc. I remember you saying that there may be a relationship between RA and low progesterone? She is back to having periods.

What can you tell me?

Soreness for Nursing Mothers

It is common for a new mother to experience pain and soreness whe they nurse their newborn. 

First, it is a new experience - having that much attention paid to an area of the body that had been mostly protected. 

Second, it is easy to develop a mild infection, one that both baby and mom share back and forth. It isn't serious, but it can be very uncomforable. There are numerous simple ways to treat the problem - and they usually clear things up to a point where the problem goes away for good.

It MUST BE TRUE!

The report was about research that appeared in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). "They" said that vitamin C is useless and that vitamin E "might" cause bleeding strokes. Barbara Howard, a nutrition scientist at MedStar Research Institute of Hyattsville, Md. said, "In these hard economic times, maybe we can save some money by not buying these supplements." I suggest that Ms. Howard is all wet.  As usual, the reports and the study itself are riddled with logic holes.

Saving A Pregnancy With Progesterone

The FDA and its industry supporters seem firm in their resolve to keep as many people as possible confused about the role of REAL human hormones . Bioidentical progesterone is DISTINCTLY different from the chemical substances that drug makers refer to as hormones. Can BIOIDENTICAL PROGESTERONE help protect a high risk pregnancy?

Bitter Reality - AVOID SPLENDA!

Some REAL RESEARCH points out that sucralose (Splenda) is not something any of use ought to be consuming. When all is said and done, sucraloseis a toxic chemical. It is a substance completely foreign to nature. The manufactureres of this poison don't tell the truth about its safety.

PROBIOTICS FOR INFANTS?

A customer asked me what I knew about giving PROBIOTICS to an infant. While I usually claim that probiotics are good for "everyone" I really had not given any specific thought to what I really meant by "everyone". Does “everyone” include 2 month old babies or not? It was time to do a little research. I found what I wanted and made my decision. In brief, the answer is YES. Here's the link to a page on our website that presents my decision in a clear, concise manner. http://www.thecompounder.com/probioticforinfants.php

Yes, I can't argue that certain containers might be responsible for adding harmful substances to our water. But, for heaven's sake, is it REALLY all that important? Read More...

UV Is Good For You.

I'm tired of winter. I want to see some sunshine. My body is craving vitamin D and I'm not afraid of the sun. Of course, too much of anything can be harmful, so you can't go nuts and sit in bright sunlight for hours on end. The sun is the source of all energy and life on our planet. Anyone who suggests that sunshine is dangerous isn't paying attention to reality. This might be shocking, but I have more. There's evidence that sunscreens can be harmful and tanning salons might even be healthy. MORE...
