We have added a category to our blog for general questions and answers.<\/h2>\n

Anytime there is something we can help with, please add your question to this category.<\/h2>\n

We have started with these two questions that came in via email.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Menopause<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Question\/from CW:<\/p>\n

My co-worker at work is experiencing what I think is peri-menopause but quite extreme.\u00a0 Her heart is pounding (out of her chest as she puts it), insides burning up and very weak…lasts a long time, like at least 20 min the last one….
\nShe is going to make an appt with her doctor but I’m thinking if it is hormonal that Maca<\/a> may be a good one to balance her hormones.\u00a0 What do you think?\u00a0 Any other suggestions as you know more about NSP products for that than I do.\u00a0 She is on blood pressure meds and on NSP Blood Pressurex<\/a> and does smoke.\u00a0 She isn’t overweight and has been exercising this last year.<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/p>\n

Hi CW,<\/p>\n

Yes your suggestion of Maca<\/a> is good as a hormonal balancer, but I would also think from the description you are giving that this is how hot flashes affect her, so I would recommend FE<\/a> in addition. As it is time release, she only needs 1 am and 1 pm until she notices improvement, then can may decrease to 1 per day.<\/p>\n

Personally I played with these dosages over a period of several years – more when needed, less when not and it worked wonders. Please get back to us if to let us know how she is doing, once on the program. Of course all other lifestyle improvements, such as covered in my book The Paw Paw Program<\/a> need to be followed.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Heart attack and Stroke<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Question re: Cal-Mag intake<\/p>\n

I read,\u00a0 “new findings now suggest that calcium supplementation (greater than 1000mg\/day) may modestly increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Although more research needs to be done in this area, it is recommended that individuals meet their calcium requirements from dietary sources…first and foremost, seeking individualized recommendations from your doctor is recommended…”<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/p>\n

Yes I agree with part of this – too much Calcium is not a good thing. I always try to balance it with at least same milligrams\u00a0 of Magnesium<\/a>, or more if any constipation. NSP”s Calcium<\/a> (in liquid form) includes 200mg Magnesium. There are\u00a0 also pill combinations of Calcium and Magnesium in Cal – Mag Plus D<\/a> and Calcium & Magnesium SynerPro<\/a> . More research shows that Mag. is also essential for bone strength, and Calcium. has been overrated. And yes, we can get lots from food, if our digestion is working. As far as getting individualized recommendation from a doctor? As most medical doctors study nutrition less than 10 hours in 10 years, I think you would do better with continuing your own research or contacting an expert who works with natural health and supplementation, such as you have just done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
