As the body goes through the progression of disease and the immune system breaks down, hormonal imbalance almost always comes into play. Symptoms are always a late manifestation of a breakdown in the body. The breakdown generally occurs long before the symptoms surface.
As has been mentioned all along, 95% of all degenerative disease begins with a toxic body. Thus, it makes sense that to achieve hormone balance, one must first target the source of the problem by detoxifying the body. This process is considered a “Lifestyle Change Program”, and it is designed to allow the body to heal itself naturally. For maximum benefit, 60-90 days of lifestyle change must take place.
Note: IT MUST BE DETERMINED IF CANDIDA IS PRESENT BEFORE UNDERTAKING A HORMONAL BALANCE PROGRAM. If candida is present, a 30-day Candida Program must be completed first.
Just as is the case with any lifestyle change, a total cleanse of the system is the first step to improved health. Detoxification, along with a 30-day Nutritional Program, helps provide nutritional support to strengthen the immune system.
Detoxification is a total body cleansing program, which cleans the liver, bowels, kidneys, and the blood supply. It helps restore the peristaltic action of the colon, and helps to rid the body of mucus, toxins and waste materials that are trapped in the colon (and may have been there for years). Detoxification will help stimulate all of the major immune system glands (such as the adrenal glands, liver and thyroid). Strengthening these organs assists the body in balancing hormones.
100% Nutrition And Supplementation
Nutrition is essential to health and wellness. 100% nutrition ensures that the organs of the body and the immune system are being strengthened, while getting what they need to function at their full potential. This is attainable by supplementing vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants, and essential fatty acids.
• DHEA must be taken in the morning to work in conjunction with the adrenal glands’ natural production. Begin with one capsule per day, and if needed you may work up to two per day.
• BALANCE provides precursors that help the body make estrogen in women and testosterone in men. Take 2-5 capsules two times per day, both a.m. and p.m. If hot flashes do not subside within a thirty-day period, you may add 2-5 capsules at noon. For best results, use following the detoxification program.
• WILD YAM CREAM is a trans-dermal progesterone precursor that is applied daily to the skin. It is absorbed quickly and is converted in the body depending on the demands for progesterone. The application will be 1/4 tsp applied daily to soft tissue areas of the body (including the chest, inside of arms and thighs, and lower stomach area). Rotate area of application daily for best results.
• THYROID This unique formula was developed to benefit anyone suspecting a thyroid condition, as well as those seeking a daily supplement to ensure nutritional support of the thyroid and adrenals. M’lis THYROID Endocrine Support stimulates healthy glandular function and contains a synergistic blend of herbs including kelp and bladderwrack, two potent sources of iodine which support your body’s natural ability to produce thyroid hormones. For best results take 2-3 capsules 2-3 times daily.
• The effect that CALCIUM has on bone density is increased when used in combination with the DHEA. Take two liquid gel capsules each morning and two 1 hour before bed. Calcium is a natural sedative, and can be used with TRANQUILITY in the evening to assist in achieving an optimal night’s sleep.
To make the switch from synthetic to natural hormones, the cooperation of your Doctor is required. For suggestions contact your M’lis Educator.
Implementing Friendly Bacteria (healthy bacteria, good flora, healthy microbes)
The human gastrointestinal tract is home to many types and high numbers of microbes, or bacteria. Microbes live in our skin, in our mouths, in women’s vaginal tracts, and throughout our gastrointestinal tract. It is estimated that there are more microbes (bacterial cells) than there are human cells in and on the human body. There is also a very large diversity of the types of bacteria, with over 400 different species being present in humans. Because of the diversity and number, it has become evident that bacteria play an important role in human health. Most of these bacteria are not harmful, and in fact contribute positively to normal growth and development. Some of these bacteria, however, can have negative influences. A healthy balance of the bacteria, favoring beneficial bacteria over potentially harmful bacteria, is essential to the proper functioning of all systems of the body. Friendly bacteria strains can suppress harmful bacteria. They have been shown to improve intestinal tract health by aiding digestion and elimination, alleviating the symptoms of lactose intolerance, improving absorption of minerals and reducing toxins in the bloodstream, and improving immune function.
Diet and disease have now been linked together. In order to digest enzyme-free foods, the body calls upon digestive organs to work excessively. After a lifetime of overworking our body’s vital organs, they wear out. When these organs are no longer performing at their optimal level, food is not digested properly which can lead to diet-related diseases, disorders and death. For example, one form of adult onset diabetes is a result of over- taxation of the pancreas. Supplemental digestive enzymes ease the burden of digestion therefore strengthening your immune system.
Water is critical to the treatment of any health condition, including hormone imbalance. Every organ of the body requires water. The heart, lungs, skin and circulatory system all depend on water. To find out your individual need, divide your weight in half. Half of your body weight gives you a good rule of thumb for how many ounces of water your body needs to function on a daily basis. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should be drinking 75 ounces of water each day. Nothing will substitute for water, including; milk, juice, tea, soda etc. If you drink enough water each day, you will absolutely feel different. This is not to say that you cannot drink other liquids, but remember the importance of the quantity of water that you drink each day.
Exercise is vital to any program of health and wellness. Do cardiovascular exercises: walking briskly, swimming, treadmill, stairs, and biking. Exercise at least three times per week, working up to 30 minutes each time. Get plenty of fresh air and sunshine — they have an excellent antidepressant effect. Mental exercise is also important. Set aside times daily to relax, unwind, de-stress and allow positive emotional and psychological repair to begin.
