Progesterone Reduces Premature Births
The hormone progesterone can help prevent premature births in a large number of high-risk pregnancies.
Alternative Medicine for Menopausal Symptoms
Women commonly use soy products, herbs, and other complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies for menopausal symptoms. Randomized, controlled trials have evaluated the efficacy and short-term safety of these therapies.
Pregnant Women May Not Be Getting Enough Omega-3
Omega-3 fat DHA is accumulated in fetal tissues, particularly the central nervous system. However, because animal cells cannot form omega-3 fatty acids, a fetus must obtain all of its omega-3 fatty acids from its mother’s diet. A mother’s dietary intake and plasma concentrations of DHA directly influence the DHA status of the developing fetus.
Calcium deficiency has been associated with preeclampsia

One-Quarter of All Births Done by Caesarean Section
Many women are opting for the procedure for fear of long, painful vaginal births and its effects on the body. Natural childbirth can result in pelvic floor disorders -- damage to muscles, ligaments and tissues that result from childbirth and labor. This damage can result in urinary and fecal incontinence -- some 20 percent to 30 percent of women become incontinent after one vaginal birth -- as well as a lessening of sexual sensation.
DIM Reduces Toxic Estrogen Levels
Researchers into sex-hormone-related cancers (breast, prostate, uterus, ovaries) have discovered that natural substances found in specific vegetables may help lower our sex- hormone-related cancer risk by predictably altering estrogen metabolism in at least one specific way strongly associated with lower cancer risk. Other researchers suggest that specific hormone supplementation may decrease the risk of breast cancer in pre-menopausal women with a family history of this disease.
The most useful laboratory test to ascertain hemochromatosis is measuring serum iron concentration, total iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation and serum ferritin. These should be done together.
Iron is potentially toxic because it serves as a catalyst in oxidation-reduction reactions. Also, because the human body has a limited capacity to excrete iron, it can build up in the body. Awareness of the potential harm of iron stores in the body has increased as animal and tissue studies have shown that large amounts of iron can encourage increased rates of tumor growth, and have found evidence of peroxidation induced by iron.
Natural Progesterone Leads to Less Bleeding
Women taking natural progesterone have far less bleeding than women taking a synthetic version of the same hormone, new research finds.
Treating Urinary Tract Infections
You've probably heard how cranberry juice helps prevent UTIs. Many women, once they feel a UTI coming on, will drink cranberry juice, hoping that will get rid of it. Sometimes it works. Not always. In this article we'll discuss how cranberries and blueberries actually work to prevent UTIs
Women who don't get enough vitamin E in their diets appear to be more likely than others to show early signs of the artery disease atherosclerosis, even before they experience any symptoms of the condition, study findings show.
Vitamin E May Keep Women's Arteries Healthier
Women with the greatest vitamin E intake had the least complications at the carotid bifurcation -- a Y-shaped branch in the arteries in the neck where plaque build-up usually begins. This build-up, known as atherosclerosis, is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. The findings suggest that vitamin E -- found in nuts, olive oil and some vegetables -- may provide protection against the early stages of plaque build-up.
Flaxseed Lowers Cholesterol in Women
Flaxseed may help to reduce levels of cholesterol in the blood of postmenopausal women, researchers report.

Breast Cancer - Another Suspect
Breast Cancer on the Trans Fat Express
A study of U.S. women published May 9 in the LANCET links insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) with breast cancer.[1,2] Earlier this year a study linked IGF-1 to prostate cancer.[3] (See REHW #593.) Prostate and breast cancers are major killers of men and women in the U.S. and in other industrialized countries. IGF-1 levels are now being artificially increased in much of the cows' milk being sold throughout the U.S. These new cancer studies raise serious questions about the wisdom of allowing IGF-1 levels to be raised in milk.

The Age of Estrogenic Overdrive
There are two points that will be focused on in this article:
1. To show how xenoestrogens---chemicals that have estrogen-like effects---are
causing a growing number of ecodis-eases and ecodiseases, including the
near-epidemic increase in cancer of the breast and prostate.
2. To shed some light on the prevailing controversy concerning the clinical
value of synthetic estrogens for prevention of heart disease and osteoporosis in
women.
We know what causes the vast majority of cancers: exposure to carcinogens. What would a normal public health approach entail? Reduce the burden of cancer by reducing our exposure to carcinogens. One key idea has defined public health for more than 100 years: PREVENTION. But with cancer, everything is different. In the case of cancer, prevention has been banished from polite discussion.

Progesterone Nature’s Secret for PMS, Menopause, Depression, and More ...
What secret ingredient reduces premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms, burns fat for energy, helps normalize blood sugar, acts as an antidepressant and rejuvenates libido? What is in all women that builds bones, sharpens memory, protects against endometrial and breast cancer, defends against fibrocystic breasts and ensures both embryo and fetal survival? Give up? Progesterone!
Research indicates that brewers' yeast, magnesium and vitamin B6 are beneficial for some of the symptoms of PMS, so Italian researchers decided to put all three nutrients together to see how a combined approach would work.
Another way of relieving symptoms associated with menopause is the herb black cohosh, which has a long history of treating women's problems in both America and Europe, and was an official drug of the U.S. Pharmacopoeia from 1820 to 1926.
