Perimenopause

March 16th, 2012

Perimenopause marks a natural time in a woman’s life when symptoms of diminishing estrogen and progesterone become noticeable. Symptoms are often experienced as irregular cycles, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, feeling sad, fatigue and anxiety.

The amount and balance of estrogen and progesterone produced vary from month-to-month and will also be affected by nutrition, stress and exercise.

Femmerol™ offers non drug hormone support. It provides naturally occurring phytoestrogens – plant derived from Black Cohosh and Red Clover that are rich sources of phytoestrogens and Sage Leaf, clinically confirmed to cool the internal thermostat. Femmerol is used for perimenopause and menopause symptom relief in place of hormone therapy.

Phytoestrogens mimic estrogen by binding to estrogen receptors in cells. This action quiets symptoms as the body adjusts into its new comfort zone.

Women’s History Month

March 8th, 2012

March is a very special month for me. It is Women’s History Month, International Women’s Day is celebrated March 8th and on a more personal note I celebrate my birthday.

Since 2005, the annual celebration of Women’s History Month has focused on a different area of women’s achievement and 2012 focus is on Women with a Plan.

It is no secret that I am deeply inspired by all the great women in my life and that I draw on this inspiration to fuel my business and my passion. I believe in the power of community and the community of women I have come to admire. They continue to be a potent source of purpose driven motivation.

My mother is an example of a woman with a persistent and resilient spirit that is present in many of the women I know as colleagues and customers. Their personal stories have affected me in a deeply special way.

I am reminded of my purpose every time I hear of another life-changing moment — a health diagnosis that will change a woman’s life forever.

It makes me realized how vulnerable we are and that we shouldn’t take our health for granted. It is too precious.

As a world, we have learned a great deal about the risks of using hormone replacement medications - short term and long term. The risks are many and shouldn’t be taken lightly by any women regardless of her age or family history.

I consider myself a foot soldier; a defender of women when it comes to her menopause transition, health and comfort. My great intention is that the products we offer create the quality of life that will have a positive impact on you and those you love.

We may forget what we did but we never forget how we feel.

What are Phytohormones and Phytochemicals?

February 27th, 2012

The National Cancer Institute defines Phytochemical as “a substance found in plants. Some phytochemicals may reduce the risk of cancer”

http://www.cancer.gov/dictionary/?CdrID=44709

And defines phytoestrogens as “a substance found in some plants and plant products. Phytoestrogens may have anticancer effects.”

http://www.cancer.gov/dictionary/?CdrID=330175

Femmerol is formulated using a combination of clinically proven phytoestrogen and phytochemicals from plants. They are concentrated, pure, and drug free.  Femmerol has shown in clinical study to alleviate the most common symptoms of Menopause and Perimenopause. Click here to see clinical results >

Hormone therapy (HT) relieves symptoms like hot flashes. However, using HT has proven in many studies and trials to significantly increase the risks of developing breast cancer, heart disease, stroke, and blood clots.

Moving Foward

February 14th, 2012

Dr. Susan Love Breast Cancer Foundation

For anyone who cares about breast cancer, the very public battle over Susan G. Komen For the Cure and its funding of Planned Parenthood’s breast care programs has triggered emotions ranging from anger to dismay to sadness. It’s also raised important questions about how breast cancer organizations use the sweat-earned money breast cancer survivors and their family members and friends raise.

That’s why I think it’s important for us to take this opportunity to use the public awareness about breast cancer funding to refocus attention on the need for research that will take us beyond a cure and figure out what causes this disease, so that we can end it.

As I said in my essay in the New York Times, because we do not know what causes breast cancer, we focus on looking for cancers that are already there. We’ve been doing this since the 1950s, when the first screening study demonstrated a 30 percent decrease in deaths from breast cancer. But decades later, the success rate of screening remains nearly the same, even with much better imaging: routine mammography screening results in a 15- to 20-percent decrease in mortality in women over age 50.

The problem is, as we now know, that there are at least five, and probably more, different types of breast tumors, and they grow at different rates. Some are so aggressive that they have almost always spread before they are visible on mammogram. But other tumors, if left alone, may never spread at all and do not need to be found. This doesn’t mean we should stop screening. Mammography remains the best tool we have. But we have to stop trying to make mammography better and start performing more research focused on finding what causes this disease.

I think that we can also say that when we’ve got the NFL wearing pink, we have achieved awareness. We need to go all the way—and stop this disease. If we could discover that HPV causes cancer of the cervix, and then develop a vaccine to prevent it, there is no reason we can’t do the same for cancer of the breast! In fact, we are currently collaborating on research to look for an infectious cause of breast cancer. It is challenging to do this out-of-the-box research. It takes friends, focus, and funds! But if we don’t do it, who will?

If you agree with me, I hope that you will take this opportunity to support our work by giving a gift of love this Valentine’s Day to honor every woman and man you know who has raised money to fight this disease by making a gift to the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation. This gift will go to fund research that will move us beyond mammograms, beyond the status quo, and toward a future where we can prevent this disease because we know the cause.

Message From Solutions for Women

January 9th, 2012

Today we are in a unique position. We have information that can save lives.

Hormone Replacement Therapies (HRT) are proven to increase your risk for breast cancer. One in seven women will develop breast cancer. HRT increases your biological factors for developing breast cancer.

One breast cancer sufferer is heartbreak to us all. Every life lost to the hideous disease affects us all. It is time for change, not a challenge. Engage actively in your health. You can have symptom relief without adding insult and injury to your body’s integrity. Menopause is natural to your body and so should be your choice for menopause symptom relief.

It is a privilege and an honor for Solutions for Women to announce the admission of Femmerol® into the US National Library of Medicine. It is a reflection of the science and technology that together created a peer recognized hormone wellness solution. As the global population ages and the need for safe solutions for women increases, hormonal wellness demands our logical, concerted response. Its time to empower yourself and all women with intelligent health choices.

The number of women afflicted with Breast Cancer is increasing at an alarming rate. Reach and sustain the highest level of hormone health excellence for your better health. Achieve it now, for yourselves and for the health of your future.

Special Message from Dr. Susan Love

A Gift That Matters
With the season of giving upon us, I want to begin by thanking you for how much you have given to me this year by supporting the Dr. Susan Love Foundation and our primary goal: finding the cause and prevention of breast cancer.

I also want to thank you for your commitment to helping me get the message out that awareness is NOT enough. We’ve now had 25 years of breast cancer awareness—and we still don’t understand the cause or ways to prevent this disease. And the cure is NOT enough either. Not if it means surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy, and targeted therapy—all of which have side effects and cause long-term collateral damage to our bodies!

I am well aware that our goal—finding the cause and prevention of breast cancer—is a daunting task. But with your help we can do it; we have to do it. We don’t have to pass breast cancer on to another generation. We can end it!

I am often told: It is too hard to find the cause, it’s too complicated, cancer will always be with us, the best we can do is to make it a chronic disease. To those who think that’s the best we can do, all I can say is, your best is not good enough. This year, more than 280,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer. And with all of the early detection and varied treatments we have available today, this year we still lost about 40,000 women to this disease—the same number of women we lost to breast cancer in 2005.

We can find the cause. We need to find the cause. I am more convinced than ever that the road that will get us there will require us to look at the areas of research that have been neglected by the grant givers, scientists, and universities because they seem too “out there” or “too risky.” But as we’ve seen time and time again, it’s big risk projects that have the potential for big rewards.

That’s why we at the Foundation are not afraid to take these risks. It’s why we proudly:

  • Are planning a study looking into bacteria and viruses in the breast fluid. This important study has the potential to revolutionize our understanding and perspectives on whether there could be an infectious cause for breast cancer.
  • Completed the first phase of a study in China on 1,000 women testing a possible home test for breast cancer risk.
  • Completed and published a study looking at the difference between the lactating breast which makes milk and the “resting” breast which doesn’t.
  • Are planning to make a model that will help us predict which environmental factors that appear carcinogenic in rats and mice actually get into the human breast.
  • Completed a study testing whether low dose chemotherapy can be put into the breast duct through the nipple to treat DCIS. As we prepare the data for publication, we are planning to improve on this novel way of delivering drugs to where breast cancer starts.
  • Launched the Army of Women, an initiative to recruit one million women interested in taking part in the research studies that will help us understand what causes breast cancer—and how to prevent it. To date, more than 370,000 women have joined our Army of Women, and have helped 52 researchers recruit for and accelerate their research. If you haven’t yet, join us today.
  • Are preparing to re-launch the Health of Women (HOW) Study, the first-ever online study of an anticipated one million women. We will follow these women overtime to look at new risk factors for breast cancer. We will compare those without breast cancer to those who have it. And we will use new technology to explore the data for novel connections and hints.

This is the kind of innovative work that no other organization is doing. And it is an example of the disruptive thinking that is critical if we are going to break through the status quo and stop this disease. If you agree, then we hope that you will show your support for us this holiday season by making a gift to the Foundation by clicking here.

Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season.

Susan Love, MD President

A Message From Solutions for Women

The only cure for breast cancer is to not get it in the first place. Be proactive. Take care of your breasts and your overall health.

Avoid Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). You have other options to quench the need for estrogen and quite the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause.

HRT has proven repeatedly through clinical studies to increase the risk for breast cancer along with a 100% increase risk for blood clots and increased risk for heart attack and stroke.

If you are new to our blog and website, look around our site, call or email us with questions and speak with your doctor. Femmerol may all you need for your moderate to severe symptoms before, during and after menopause

Warmest regards throughout the Holiday Season and 2012!

Phytotherapeutic Management of Endocrine Dysfunctions

December 21st, 2011

By: Joseph J. Collins, N.D.

When Hormones Are Not Enough

Current perceptions of endocrine dysfunctions often place great weight on serum or salivary levels of hormones as the most accurate indication of hormone function. This becomes troubling when clinicians observe an increasing percentage of patients who have hormone levels in the “normal range”, but still have significant symptoms of hormone dysfunction.Increased understandings of insulin resistance has raised awareness that while measuring hormone levels is important, just as important is the physiological response to those hormones, or in many cases, the lack of physiological response.

To the clinician managing menopause, andropause, PMS/PMDD and PCOS patients the incongruence between objective data (lab tests) and subjective data (patient symptoms), can best be explained to patients by introducing the concepts of cellular resistance and sensitivity as well as hormone agonists and antagonists.

When explaining “hormone function” to patients, an effective educational phrase is “It’s not just the levels, it’s the listening.” Collectively, essential fatty acids and targeted phytotherapeutics increase cellular ability to “listen” to hormone messages.
