Thursday, November 5th : Does breast cancer awareness month work?
Every October, millions of Americans take part in events to raise money and consciousness about breast cancer. But how much do we know about where the money goes, and is it bringing us closer to a cure? If you wear a pink ribbon or take part in a breast cancer walk, what change do you hope to make? Join us live at 11:00 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org, What the best way to promote breast cancer awareness? It’s your call with Rose Aguilar and you.

Our reporters often write about health related topics! I really think this riveting discovery about the Gardasil Vaccine would be a great addition to your site for your readers.

Period Pain is partly caused by stress. When you look at the biochemical pathways, cortisol, your stress hormone is made from progesterone.

So when you are stressed, you have a higher demand for cortisol and this robs your body of progesterone. When progesterone is low, period pain is caused.

Don’t we do too much this day and age! We live in a society of “busyness”, so it is really important to take time out.

Take up meditation or yoga or prayer. Walk in nature when you can. And in the midst of a stressful day, take a deep breath. All these things help to balance you cortisol (stress) levels and thus you are able to keep your progesterone levels at a normal level.

Your female intution is looking after you! It is saying ‘Slow Down’ and ‘Take It Easy’.

I have found that even doing some relaxation techniques while you have your period pain, can help to reduce the pain.

Go on, make sure you have some ‘Me Time’ and Live Life The Whole Month Through.

I tend to disagree with Ace. Endometriosis is a build up of the endometrial lining. While you may have a fungal growth, that is not endometriosis.

Endometriosis is usually caused by excessive estrogen that is either over produced or can’t be eliminated from your body.

While you may need it removed, I do agree with Ace, in that it doesn’t fix the cause of the problem.

I’m a naturopath in Australia, and the issues that need to be addressed are making sure you can eliminate estrogen properly ie. making sure you have a bowel movement everyday and doing a detox that makes sure the Cytochrome P450 pathways are working properly. You also need to look at eliminating pesticides and herbicides and foods that are wrapped in plastic from your environment.

I would recommend that you see a naturopath that will address these things.

Good luck on your health jouney!
