Yoga And Menopause Video

Yoga and menopause video features Lennie Martin, a family nurse practitioner with specialty in women's health and Barbara Bingham, a Yoga teacher. With Pam Yung, Lennie authored a book on menopause, called Taking Charge of the Change: A Holistic Approach to the Three Phases of Menopause, published in 2001, while Barbara authored a DVD course Yoga for Menopause.

When menopause hit her in her early fifties, Lennie realized it really is the time of Change in a woman's life and now, a decade later, she devotes a large part of her practice to helping the women with similar problems. She does prescribe human identical biohormones when needed, however, most of the time she has her clients battle the Change in some of the alternative ways. Menopause often is a change towards spirituality and yoga is a natural choice, then.

Autofluorescent Laparoscopy Diagnosis of Endometriosis

Autofluorescent laparoscopy diagnosis of endometriosis is a new way of seeing where endometriosis is during the laparoscopy. Laparoscopy is the best procedure to diagnose and remove endometriosis. During laparoscopy, it is possible to see where the lesions are, however, under normal white light, tiny or hiddend growths (implants) may remain hidden from the surgeons's view.

Enter autofluorescent laparoscopy diagnosis of endometriosis -- instead of white light only, two filters, the blue and the green one, are used. The first video shows the principle:

Autofluorescent Mechanism

In normal laparoscopy, white light is reflected from the surface of the tissue. If a special narrow short-wave filter is added, the illumination light is reflected as blue (the so-called observation light.) However, the lesions are also blue, so another filter is added, a green one -- the observation filter. This maximizes the difference between the normal and endometrial tissues.

Alternative Endometriosis Treatments

Are alternative endometriosis treatments any better then the conventional ones? Truth to be told, none of either will work 100% of time, but the former stand a better chance of healing you if they go deep enough, to eradicate the roots of the problem.

The Place of Homeopathy Amongst Alternative Endometriosis Treatments

In homeopathy, the goal is to find one remedy which covers almost all the symptoms present; when taken, the negative energy in the remedy counteracts the negative energy that is already making the patient ill, and just as

(-1) * (-1) = +1

the original "evil" energy leaves the patient. For chronic diseases, something more is needed -- the genetics needs to be mended first, and only then will other remedies and methods work. Inherited basis for the disease is called the miasm and homeopathy has access to several remedies that clear up the miasms, and thus pave the road to final healing.

For genital problems, the miasm usually is a sycotic miasm, and the remedy that best describes it is Medorrhinum. That is why that remedy should be given first, and then followed by some more specific remedies. However, Medorrhinum is not the only such remedy, so there are no hard and fast rules -- each patient still needs to be treated on her own.

Homeopathy can be very successful amongst other alternative endometriosis treatments, but -- BUT -- it takes a really good homeopath to make things work.

Endometriosis Treatment

Conventional Endometriosis Treatments

Conventional endometriosis treatments have no theoretical background to call upon. They think it has something to do with wrong auto-immune answers inside the body, but have no means of acting upon that idea. Then they say, your hormone mix is wrong, let us fix that and see what happens. That still is not curing the root of the disease and no wonder so many women are terrified when they hear this diagnosis.

Alternative Endometriosis Treatments

In alternative endometriosis treatments you go deeply to cure the cause.

With homeopathy, you eradicate the genetic weakness that makes you susceptible to all kinds of warts, tumors, and other gynecological diseases.

With Su Jok, you can send healthy energy directly to the diseased organs and mend them without the surgery.

With herbal treatment you can fix the internal flow of energy and then there will be no more endometriosis, usually within a few months time.

Give yourself lots of Reiki and the pain will both subside while you will be healed at the same time.

Finally, through medical astrology, it is possible to come up not only with a battery of healing methods that will best heal you, but it is also possible to predict when the endometriosis will get worse, and what should be done then in order to preserve health.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis (colloquially referred to as endo, but also misspelled as endometreosis and endemetriosis) affects some 89 million women of reproductive age around the world. With endometriosis, the endometrial tissue from the uterus is found outside the womb in other areas of the body. Under normal circumstances, the endometrium leaves the body each month through menses (unless conception occurs). In endometriosis, the misplaced endometrium has no way of leaving the body. The tissues, however, still follow the rise and fall of estrogen and progesteron, breaking down and bleeding as if they were still in the womb, with many of the following symptoms taking place in the woman's body:

-- internal bleeding,

-- degeneration of blood and tissue shed from the growths,

-- inflammation of the surrounding areas, and

-- formation of scar tissue.

In addition, the growths can interfere with the normal function of the bowel, bladder, intestines and other areas of the pelvic cavity. Endometriosis has also been found lodged in the skin, the lungs, the diaphragm and even the brain.

Pendulums

Pendulum can be any weight on a piece of string or rope. Some people take off a ring from their hand and dowse with that; some buy the "usual" cone shaped pendulums made out of brass, while others go for even more specialized forms. Most dowsers like to show off a bit and to have nice (very, very nice) pendulums, which command the attention of all present. It is as if the more valuable the pendulum, the better the results would be!?

Crystal pendulums can be very nice, from those made out of clear quartz to amethyst, rose quartz and what have you. Crystal pendulums will usually have many facets, while metal pendulums are usually more like cones or tear-shapes.

Some pendulums are hollow so that you may put something in it. It may be water, say with a homeopathic or flower remedy in it, or a witness that directs the energy towards its source. For instance, if you put somebody's hair into the pendulum, then such a combination should, in theory, be sensitive enough to diagnose the vibrations of that person, long distance, that is, even when the person is not physically present.

There are other shapes as well, one of which is the Eqyptian form, which is, they say, used for magical purposes... I personally prefer crystal pendulums, because they add their own frequency to the healing, but "empty" pendulums such as quartz or brass may be better for diagnosing.

Also, you may opt to have one "larger" pendulum to diagnose and clear the space in house, while using the other "smaller" pendulum to work with chakras.

Endometriosis Treatment

Here is what conventional medicine has to offer when you suffer with endometriosis. The sheer variety of suggested ideas for endometriosis treatment tells us that, officially, there is no "cure" for endometriosis the way Western medicine would like it to have. (When they say "there is no cure" for endometriosis, they mean "we are very sorry that we cannot have one single product to sell to all those possible customers out there".)

Actually, endometriosis is a mislabel since the term only tells us how your problem began, but fails to inform on how to solve it. In some patients, menopause (natural or surgical) will abate the process. Note that hysterectomy is often offered as a cure for endometriosis, but if the symptoms are not concentrated only on the uterus, hysterectomy will solve nothing.

Before embarking on conventional treatments of endometriosis, let me say that through medical astrology it is possible to pin down the mix of standard and alternative therapies which will help the individual. In particular, homeopathy and Su Jok have the power to heal endometriosis on their own. Homeopathy will do that by eradicating the genetical imbalances that weaken the body, while Su Jok, if hands of a master, will eradicate the symptoms.

Once again, all these three methods, medical astrology, homeopathy and Su Jok will help you only if applied individually to you. Each endometriosis patient is different and so should the corresponding treatment be.

Dowsing

Using Dowsing

Assuming that you can dowse, here's what you can do with it:

-- You can check whether the remedies you take are good for you or not.

-- You can check the food that you eat.

-- You can use radionics machines to see what remedies are appropriate; you also can diagnose your illnesses.

-- You can deal with chakras directly. If a chakra is not working properly, you can use pendulum to bring it back to normal. This does happen (the patient gets better) only at your expense. If you use this way to heal someone who is very ill, you may expect to pay it with your own good energy. Actually, in dowsing your finest spiritual energy is being spent and you should not do it ligthly or too often.

-- You can use diagrams to gauge the patients state directly. For instance, if someone has high blood pressure, you can dowse over a diagram to see the exact pressure without any actual measurements.

-- Through radiesthesia (selecting one out of many alternatives with a pendulum) you can create unique and powerful therapies. For instance, you can select all the methods of healing that are appropriate for the patient, then within one method, say, homeopathy, you can select one or more remedies which will cure the patient. When you make a remedy on a radionics machines, you can again check (with a pendulum) whether that remedy is good for the patient and so on.

Vitalzym Resolves Uterine Fibroids

Vitalzym is a new supplement with the power to shrink uterine fibroids for good. This is very significant, because up to now, medical profession and pharmaceutical industry have not come up with a remedy -- a kind of a "pill" -- for uterine fibroids. And we, of course, know, that about 200.000 hysterectomies are done in the USA because of fibroids only!

In one regard, enzymes are just like vitamins -- necessary for moving energy around in the body and for transforming it from one form to another. The reason everybody knows about vitamins and that not that many people know about enzymes is that, historically, first it became possible to make and market artificial vitamins, while artificial enzymes became widely available only in the last decade or so. Now that is possible to make long chains of enzyme particles, practically all enzymes can be synthetised and thus used to the benefit of all.

Vitalzym guards against the formation of fibrin, cleanses the blood of debris, helps the immune system, promotes blood circulation and will help the body to repair damaged tissues, such as post-operative injuries, cuts and bruises. It will also reduce swelling and inflammation, which often alleviates pain, and can help with arthritis or chronic back pain.

For gynecological purposes, it will often work wonders for your fibroids. In one case that I do know first hand, the patient had a myoma 13 cm in diameter, and taking Vitalzym for several months did bring it back for a few centimeters. At the time of this writing, the case if far from being closed, so I'll write about it when the new data becomes available. In general, the whole procedure of shrinking the fibroids with Vitalzym will last from 3 to 6 months.

Vitalzym "eats" the fibrin in the body, and the fibroids are formed of fibrin. It also seems to help with Endometriosis and Fibrocystic Breasts.

Operative Hysteroscopy For Intrauterine Adhesions Video

The operative hysteroscopy for intrauterine adhesions video shows the procedure also known as adhesiolysis for treating Ashermann's syndrome. The surgeon is Dr Anjali Malpani.

The video first shows the uterine cavity as the the surgeon sees it on the video screen. This cavity is small and distorted because of the adhesion, due to a scar on the inside wall of the uterus. The adhesion divided the cavity into two parts. The surgeon cuts through the adhesion with a hysteroscopic cutting knife, which uses electricity. The goal is not only to resect the adhesion but to eliminate the scar itself.

Once the resection was done, the video shows how the uterine cavity opened up and normalized the uterus. This woman will undergo further IVF treatment, but now her chances of conceiving are greatly increased, since the uterus is almost normal now.

Radionics and Energy Healing

Radionics is an extension of homeopathy. It started out in the 1920's by measuring the response of an electric instrument when the patient and the homeopathic remedy were connected to it.

It turned out that every remedy, every organ in the body, and just about everything else in the universe has its own vibration. The vibration of a healthy liver in two or more different people is always the same. So, if you detect some other vibration in the liver of your patient, it will mean that his or her liver is not functioning in the best possible manner. If you want to, you can compare the rates for healthy organs in the body with the organs in the patient and you will immediately have his full diagnosis! It gets even better: you can do all of that on your own, there is no need for going to this or that medical center, to pay and/or to wait for the well-known specialist to have a look at you and so on.

Online support for endometrial stromal sarcoma

Someone commented on links for online support for endometrial stromal sarcoma. There were two links only, and I have examined them.

The first is

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Endometrialstromalsarcoma/

and is Yahoo group devoted to the topic. The membership has to be approved, which is only normal considering the delicate position these women are in. If they approve me, I'll tell you more about what is inside, and what other resources are in there to help the patients with this catastrophic condition.

The other link is

http://www.acor.org/

but once over there, they say:

Please Note: On January 17, 2007 ACOR experienced a catastrophic hardware failure. Most of the site is currently unavailable as a result.

so there isn't much to be seen.

I'll keep you posted on this. In the meantime, if you know other online resources for gynecological problems, especially those possibly leading to hysterectomy, please add them by commenting on this blog.

Uterine Sarcoma

Uterine sarcoma is cancerous growth of soft tissues of the uterus and is fairly rare. Only about 4% of all malignancies of the uterine body are uterine sarcomas (the rest is endometrial cancer). In classical medicine the cause of the lesion is not known, however, in the case of endometrial stromal sarcoma described on this page, astrologically, the cause of this particular uterine cancer is 5 years long transit to the natal Moon, in the house of surgery and terminal illnesses.

In general, you will be more susceptible to this rare type of uterine cancer if the following conditions are met:

-- you have already had a history of pelvic radiation;

-- if the menopause has already started;

-- if you were taking tamoxifen long-term.

The Signs and Symptoms of Uterine Sarcoma

-- Unusual or postmenopausal bleeding.

-- Pelvic pain, pressure, and unusual discharge.

-- A nonpregnant uterus that enlarges quickly.

Diagnosing Uterine Sarcoma

To diagnose uterine sarcoma, several procedures may be needed:

-- physical examination by your doctor,

-- medical imaging such as ultrasound, CAT scan, MRI,

-- tissue diagnosis by biopsy, hysteroscopy, or D&C.

Please note that Pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer, not for detection of uterine sarcoma.

Staging

Uterine sarcoma is staged like endometrial carcinoma at time of surgery, using the FIGO cancer staging system.

Stage IA

tumor is limited to the endometrium.

Stage IB

invasion of less than half the myometrium.

Stage IC

invasion of more than half the myometrium.

Stage IIA

endocervical glandular involvement only.

Stage IIB

cervical stromal invasion.

Stage IIIA

tumor invades serosa or adnexa, or malignant peritoneal cytology.

Stage IIIB

vaginal metastasis.

Stage IIIC

metastasis to pelvic or para-aortic lymph nodes.

Stage IVA

invasion of the bladder or bowel.

Stage IVB

distant metastasis, including intraabdominal or inguinal lymph nodes.


Therapy for the Uterine Sarcoma

The following kinds of therapy are used in classical medicine, alone or in combination:

Surgery

if feasible, involving total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

Radiation therapy

using high-dose x-rays or other high-energy rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.

Chemotherapy

using drugs to kill cancer cells.

Hormonal therapy



using female hormones to kill cancer cells.


The Astrological Case of Uterine Sarcoma

When this lady's husband first contacted me in September 2003, it was with the purpose of finding a suitable job perspective for him. For live delineations, I insist on having the charts of spouses, kids and other people that one lives with, since it sheds more light compared to the isolated natal chart.

I glanced at his wife's chart and she asked me what will happen within a year or two to her. Her chart was not rectified at that time, so the positions of the Sun, Moon, and Mars in the first decade of Pisces fell into her seventh house. Seeing the transit of Uranus during 2003-2006 over those planets, I just told her she would feel like "Alice in the Wonderland".

-- What do you mean by that!? she asked.

There was no time to answer that fully, and we parted. In June 2005 the phone rang again and it was her husband:

-- My wife has had hysterectomy in May, and is fine now. She had cancer, a sarcoma of endometrium, which spread to the other parts of the body, and now the doctors would like to perform another surgery to clear the cancer cells from the liver. Can we meet?

Her mother never knew exactly when the labor finished, but thought it was around noon, with a possible error of a few hours on both sides. Now that I knew that she had surgery, I rectified the chart so that the Ascendant was on 29 Cancer instead of the previous mid-Leo. The stellium of Sun, Moon, and Mars then fell into the VIII house -- the house of surgery, mechanical injuries, terminal states, cancer... clearly aligning itself with the events in real life. Here is her rectified natal chart.
