Pregnancy – No IVF for the overweight?
Truthfully, I think this world is too over-populated as it is, without helping certin people bring more children into this world just to consume them in thier problems..obesity is a problem,statisically most obiese women were abused in thier childhoods in some way.How can they teach a child to be healthy when they are not.If they got help with what is making them obiese,and started the work to be healthy from the inside-out then they would lose the weight,and until that someone is doing those things why should anyone help them bring a child into the world?As far as comparring them to gays/lesbians-totally differant..if God wanted you to raise children like that then you’d not need the help in the first place!!Obiese women atleast deserve the chance to GET healthy first!!
How much does PCOS affect ones weight and the inability to lose it?
My so called “friend” (not to my face… but still what a bi*ch) called me a fat **** to my friend and said PCOS is a pathetic excuse for being overweight. It really upset me especially as i eat healthier than her and exercise more often… i DO try but its really hard.

Apple Benefits – Keep Yourself Healthy
The nutritional benefits of apple juice (as well as applesauce and many other apple products) are often underestimated because these foods are “quietly virtuous.” When closely evaluating the nutritional composition of apple juice and other apple products, it becomes apparent that the lack of fat, cholesterol and sodium are just a few of the many reasons these products are an important part of a healthful dietary regimen.
The virtues of apple cider vinegar seem to extend itself beyond normal peripheries. Every constituent seems to play an important role. The malic acid and acetic acid present help to combat fungal and bacterial infections and relieves painful joints. The malic acid dissolves the deposits of uric acid, which form around the joints, and slowly pushes the acid deposits out of the body. It seems to even have some effect on viruses. The amino acids present in apple cider vinegar act as an antibiotic and an antiseptic. It has been known to drastically reduce the toxicity in the body. This is because the acetic acid is able to form acetate compounds, which are not so toxic. This property makes it very useful while treating insect bites and skin allergies.
Apple extracts from selected apple varieties were added to human liver cancer HepG2 cells to determine if the extracts could inhibit tumor cell proliferation. There was a large variation in the effects of the different apple varieties on the inhibition of cell proliferation, but all apple varieties inhibited liver cancer cell proliferation. Apples without skin were less potent in inhibiting HepG2 cell proliferation whereas apples with skins exerted greater inhibitions of cell proliferation.
The insoluble fiber is known as roughage or dietary fiber, as it cannot be digested by the enzymes in our bodies and helps us lose weight by giving the sensation of having a full stomach, of having eaten enough. Also found in the skin of the apple, the insoluble fiber is a great remedy against constipation because it helps digestion and prevents other related disorders like irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulosis disease that may lead to colon cancer, appendicitis, hemorrhoids, hiatus hernia, gallstones etc.
Apple is a rich source of flavonoid and polyphenols both are powerful antioxidant.
The skin of Apple contains pectin that can help remove toxic substances from the system by supplying galacturonic acid. Pectin helps prevent protein matter in the intestine from spoiling.
Raw apple cider vinegar is brimming with enzymes. Did you know that our bodies produce a finite amount of enzymes naturally, and that rest of these powerful little digestive aids must be obtained from the foods we eat? Cooked foods have no enzyme activity. Raw foods contain some enzymes. Raw, fermented foods, like apple cider vinegar are the most bountiful source of enzymes.
When diluted with water 50/50 it is often used as a toner for the face. Caution should be used when applying as cider vinegar is very dangerous to the eyes.
Apples commonly enjoyed by many cultures, but they are also a good source of antioxidants. When compared to many other commonly consumed fruits in the United States, apples had the second highest level of antioxidant activity Apples also ranked the second for total concentration of phenolic compounds, and perhaps more importantly, apples had the highest portion of free phenolics when compared to other fruits This means that these compounds are not bound to other compounds in the fruits, and the phenolics may be more available for eventual absorption into the bloodstream.

Different ways to treat PCOS, and getting pregnant and possibility’s of it resulting from Candida Yeast?
OK, I have had PCOS for at least 3 – 5 years. I am trying everything I can to get better/pregnant. I have changed my lifestyle around the ways I eat, sleep, exercise, and have sex. I have consulted with almost 10 doctors, OB-GYN’s, and everything else imaginable. I have tried medications (Clomid, Metformin, etc.), Vitamins, and nothing seems to work.
I have done hours and hours of research, and I have pretty much gone to the limits to try and get rid of my PCOS. If there are any great tips out there that have personally worked for you, I am willing to try to get rid of this. My periods are semi-irregular. I get them about every 35-45 days, and fortunately have been since November of last year, which is new for me. I did miss march, but it was weird how it worked out.
After hours of research, I also found this:
“Candida is a fungus that is found in the body in benign amounts, but when given the correct circumstances, grows uncontrolled throughout the body. It most commonly resides in the small intestine, but it often runs from the sinuses down to the groin.
Candida is known for causing, or being a part of, reproductive organ problems, such as yeast infections, endometriosis, PCOS, impotence, and fertility problems. Other symptoms may be difficult to pinpoint. The most obvious is yeast infections, especially chronic yeast infections. It can also cause depression, gastrointestinal problems, allergies, and a variety of other symptoms. Candida makes a person crave sweets, grains, and cheese and makes you eat when you’re not hungry and/or more than you need. It can lead someone to become overweight.
A candida yeast overgrowth is caused by eating too many foods that feed the fungus, such as the foods mentioned above. However, most people get it from taking oral antibiotics, which end up killing all the bacteria in the body, including the good bacteria which keeps the normal levels of candida benign, allowing the fungus to grow to massive amounts.”
Source: http://www.steadyhealth.com/how_to_get_rid_of_pcos_t177577.html
Now if this is true, this is very possible for me! I am CONSTANTLY craving sweets/chocolates, and when I first found about that I had PCOS, I had chronic yeast infections, and in about 2 years I had about 10-15 of them. And since then, I get about 1 or 2 a year.
Is this a possibility for me? How do I get checked? What are some treatment methods (Vitamins, Home remedy’s, prescriptions, etc.)? And will my PCOS go away by treating the Candida, and if so, will I need a scan again/how will I know? Can anyone else testify to this Candida Yeast issue, and what worked for you?
Thanks for your time.

The pain, frustration and even danger of having PCOS are largely ignored by mainstream medicine which has no clear answer or solution to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. The harsh drugs that can be prescribed and the lack of direction by many doctors has led to many women asking is there a natural remedy for PCOS?
Before we can delve into remedies we need to make clear what we are dealing with. PCOS is an irregularity of the ovaries that one in ten women suffers from, that causes serious hormone imbalances. A PCOS sufferer has increased levels of male hormones known as androgenic hormones which includes the most commonly known one testosterone and many others. Women’s bodies are not designed to handle too much of this hormone however and it can seriously effect many parts of the bodies chemistry and workings. Known symptoms of PCOS include:
- Infertility
- Weight Gain
- Acne
- Facial Hair Growth
- Irregular Menstruation
- Ovarian Cysts
- Insulin Resistance
- Strokes
Not every woman suffers from all of these symptoms of course as it effects everyone in different ways but most women with PCOS suffer from one or more of these problems.
Modern medicine has so far had little lasting affect on PCOS as the hormone balancing drugs they give have harsh side effects and can cause more problems than they solve. They are also only temporary and once you stop taking them the PCOS has not gone.
So what about a natural homeopathic remedy then? While many traditional doctors dismiss claims of naturopaths that a lifestyle change can create dramatic changes in a persons body there is mounting evidence and many testimonials of women who have undertaken natural cures that involve changes of diet, some additional supplements and exercise and sleeping regimes that has changes the way their body works. Proponents of natural remedy believe that giving the body the right fuel can lead to the body self healing and regulating the hormones naturally without the use of harsh drugs.
So is there a natural remedy for PCOS? All signs point to yes on this subject and for those that support natural cures as a solid alternative to modern pharmaceutical medicine this is a real win!

The Most Common Causes Of Female Infertility – General Information
For some women, having a baby is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. That’s why it’s so frustrating when, time after time, pregnancy tests come up negative. Each year, over 2 million women are affected by infertility. For many, the condition is temporary and treatable. Sadly, for some, infertility is a permanent problem.
Most cases of female infertility stem from disorders of the reproductive tract or the ovulation process. Sometimes the cervix is too narrow or becomes blocked, denying sperm access to the woman’s reproductive organs. Blocked fallopian tubes can also prevent pregnancy from occurring. Sometimes the lining of the uterus is too thin, and a fertilized egg cannot attach to it. Congenital defects of the ovaries and uterus can also cause infertility.
Ovulation is a normal monthly occurrence, but some women have underlying medical conditions that keep them from ovulating properly. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic, 25% of all infertility cases are linked to ovulation disorders. Sometimes a woman’s ovaries don’t produce enough reproductive hormones to facilitate pregnancy. Such hormonal defects can also occur in the hypothalamus or pituitary gland. Ovulation disorders can cause women to ovulate at irregular intervals, infrequently, or not at all.
There are several diseases which can lead to female infertility. One is pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infections of the reproductive organs which account for the majority of female infertility cases worldwide. Another is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This condition causes the ovaries to produce too many male hormones, called androgens. Endometriosis is another condition which can interfere with fertility. Women with endometriosis experience the irregular growth of uterine tissues. Having the extraneous tissue removed can cause scarring within the uterus, resulting in a surface that fertilized eggs cannot attach to. Tumors in the uterus, whether cancerous or benign, can also prevent reproduction.
Finally, age is a common cause of infertility in women. After the age of 40, women have only a 5-10% of becoming pregnant with each ovulation. While dis
1000
eases might play a role, most age-related infertility is caused by decreased hormone production.
Luckily, for many women, infertility can be reversed through medical care or in vitro fertilization (IVF). The prospects will become even stronger as more research is carried out in the field of female infertility.

Can’t lose weight? Do you have coarse, excess hair on your face, chest or back? Do you suffer from hair loss or acne? Are you depressed? Unable to conceive?
If so, you’re experiencing common symptoms of PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). As bad as these symptoms are, the scary thing is if you don’t get some control over this disorder, you have a much higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
The standard treatment is to take birth control pills or other medications. Besides undesirable side effects, there is no pill or drug that will stop or cure PCOS.
Unfortunately, polycystic ovary syndrome is not a temporary problem. Because of its genetic roots, you will be prone to PCOS for the rest of your life. Therefore, you could end up taking drugs for the rest of your life. If you don’t want to do that, what else can you do?
To truly come to grips with PCOS, you need to do three basic things: improve your diet, get more exercise, and reduce stress. Here are ten essential tips for making these changes.
Tip #1: Improve your carbs.
Avoid refined carbohydrates such as white bread, white rice, pastries, candy, breakfast foods, bagels, and other refined grain products. These are “bad carbs” that create insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is thought to be a primary cause of polycystic ovary syndrome.
Refined, manufactured foods in general tend to cause you to gain weight, especially around your middle.
Better carb choices are fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and some whole legumes.
Tip #2: Increase protein.
Many PCOS women consume too much refined carbohydrate and not enough protein. High-quality protein helps you to keep your hormones normalized. The best protein sources are fish, poultry, eggs, wild game and extremely lean meat.
Tip #3: Change your fats.
Some fats and oils make your PCOS symptoms worse while others improve them. In excess, supermarket vegetables oils such as corn oil or man-made fats such as “trans-fats” can cause cells to not function properly. Saturated fats found in fatty meats and some dairy products are also undesirable.
Better choices include virgin olive oil, flax oil, cod liver oil, and fish oil.
Tip #4: Eat more veggies.
One of the most important things you can do is to eat more whole vegetables. Try to have at least five vegetable servings a day. Eating a significant quantity and variety of fresh, whole vegetables is a cornerstone of self-help therapy for the many health problems associated with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Tip #5: Control your meal portions.
Americans consume excessively large meal portions. The more you are served, the more you will eat. Trim the size of your meal servings. Eat slowly and enjoy a meal. Wait for 20 minutes. If you are still hungry, then you can go back for another portion.
Tip #6: Have salad or soup at the beginning of some meals.
Medical studies have proven that eating a big salad at the beginning of the meal will result in fewer total calories eaten at the meal. Soup is another excellent food to help you feel full without consuming too many calories. Having soup or salad with a meal will cause you to eat fewer calories and improve your ability to lose weight.
And don’t forget, fewer calories will help you lose weight and improve your fertility.
Tip #7: Exercise daily.
We often feel that we’re too busy or rushed to exercise. However, not exercising is a luxury you cannot afford. PCOS women in particular must exercise more than the average person. Regular exercise has been shown to improve polycystic ovary syndrome and improve fertility.
As a minimum, try to walk or do other exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. More is better. Try a variety of exercise. For example, you might alternate aerobic exercise with weight lifting.
Tip #8: Control stress.
Chronic stress from any source — your job, your spouse, your family, your finances — disturbs your hormone balance, and causes you to gain weight around your midsection. Do what you can to improve any situation that is continually stressful for you. You can also work on changing your attitude towards a situation you perceive as stressful. In addition, be sure to take time for relaxation and restful sleep.
Tip #9: Join or form a PCOS support group.
Isolation is not helpful. Find other women who are going through the same thing you are and communicate frequently to give each other support and encouragement.
Tip #10: Consult with a knowledgeable health professional.
PCOS is a complex disease that is difficult to treat. Find at least one doctor who fully understands what PCOS is and has some innovative ways of treating it.
In conclusion, remember that eating the wrong foods — and living a sedentary and stress-filled life — will delay or prevent your return to good health. If you follow these Ten Tips, you’ll be amazed at how much control you have over PCOS and infertility.

Acne At My Age?
When the 30s hit, you worked to raise little Johnnie or Suzie to be a model kid. Now that your hitting the fabulous 40s, you should be coasting through life, right. Well, why are you suddenly dealing with the cosmetic double whammy of acne and wrinkles? Even your insurance company figures that you should have gotten rid of acne by the age of 25.
The number people over 30 needing acne treatments has climbed to the extent that a report published in Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology recommends raising the age for insurance coverage of the acne drug tretinoin to at least 40. The authors of the report, Drs. Steven Feldman and Alan Fleischer, add that many insurance companies refuse to pay for tretinoin prescriptions for patients older than 25.
Cosmetic Catch 22 Even if your insurance company leaves you to fend for yourself, you still have options for freeing yourself from acne and wrinkles. At first, coping with acne and wrinkles may seem like a cosmetic catch 22. Do you dry your skin with acne cleansers containing benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, and worsen your wrinkles? Or, do you smear on the moisturizer to smooth the wrinkles, but cope with the zits brought on by the extra oil or sensitivity to a new product?
There’s a smarter way to handle acne and wrinkles.
1. Interpret the acne
2. Allow your skin to improve as you use self-awareness to remove zits.
Interpret the acne
While dealing with acne and wrinkles, target the acne first because acne is an autoimmune disease. Having an autoimmune disease means that your thoughts, emotions, and/or environment are affecting you in an adverse way and require immediate attention. Thus, acne may reveal that you need to relax more, change your eating habits, reframe your interpersonal dialogue, stop dating that jerk from the office and/or make another beneficial alteration to your lifestyle.
Zits arrive on your face to report on some unpleasant activities within your body and life. Once you get feedback from these zits, you can take action to send the zits away while augmenting your health in the process.
Acne is usually an indication various hidden or overlooked health problems. Here’s a sample of the questions you should ask yourself when dealing with acne so that you can unravel the mystery behind your zits. Are you:
Regular?
About 70% of your immune system is located in your intestines. If this area is blocked with waste, your immuno-defenses are down. So, instead of waste leaving your body via the rectum, it chooses to leave through the skin. Waste leaving the skin can cause an infection that presents itself as acne.
Tense?
Tension likewise reduces the vigor of the immune system. Take a few deep breaths throughout the day to calm your body. Take a long walk in the fresh air to wind down.
Eating nutritionally?
Cases of acne have been improved with consuming foods containing zinc, essential fatty acids, vitamin A and a host of other nutrients. All of these vital nutrients are available in leafy green vegetables, fruits and olive oil.
Worried about unresolved issues?
Not resolving personal issues creates conflict and tension in the body. Again, these issues most be addressed to avoid undue stress within the body.
Exercising daily?
Exercise reduces stress and gives you an opportunity to subconsciously contemplate challenges that you may be facing. Physical activity also keeps your muscles and intestines toned, which keeps encourages regularity.
Changing pillowcase frequently?
Using a dirty pillowcase aggravates an acne condition. Your face naturally secretes oils during the night. These oils are sticky. So if you pillowcase if dirty, you are allowing your face to collect extra waste during the night, which could further clog your pores.
Moving or changing your job/career?
New demands or feelings of lose can sometimes accompany change. Transfer these emotions into something constructive by writing in a journal or envisioning how these changes are going to benefit you. Find comfort in these changes and opportunities for new beginnings.
Experiencing excessive facial hair growth and erratic periods?
Conditions such as acne, excessive facial hair, and erratic periods could indicate an androgen disorder or other underlying hormonal imbalances. Your doctor can provide you with a series of endocrine tests to ascertain your hormone levels and what corrective actions you should take. Ricardo Azziz, M.D, who serves as Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Director of the Center for Androgen-Related Disorders at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, estimates that 80 percent of women with excessive androgen levels suffer from an endocrine disorder called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Dr. Azziz adds that women with PCOS often have insulin resistance and are at increased risk for developing Type II diabetes, hypertension and heart disease.
Once the acne is under control you can move on to the wrinkles. Another reason for treating the zits first is because if you alter your lifestyle in such as way as to free yourself from acne, and you doing this in a healthy and patient fashion, you will actually lessen the number of wrinkles you have.
Health is wholeness and beauty is a reflection of robust health. You’ll never buy robust health in a jar. It is a mind, body, spirit and environmental support system that garners full-bodied health. Lets look at want you actually need from a “beauty cream”.
Face Cream Education There are five basic ingredients in any given anti-aging or anti-wrinkling cream.
1. The oil or moisturizer
2. The preservatives to keep the cream from spoiling.
3. A scent or flavor
4. A color
5. The active ingredient.
Only one of these components is essential, the oil. The preservative is only needed to keep the cream useful. Your face does not need preservation because the skin is alive. Since some people have allergies to scents and colors in cosmetics, the body says that these two ingredients are not necessary. The active ingredient is usually the latest cosmetic drug or multivitamin that is supposed to lift or dramatically rever
1000
se your age by 5-20 years.
Researchers S. Jay Olshansky, Leonard Hayflick and Bruce A. Carnes bluntly comment on the antics of cosmetic companies in their report No Truth to the Fountain of Youth, published in the June 2002 edition of Scientific American. The authors warn everyone aiming to reverse the signs of times on their face that, Ӆ anyone purporting to offer an anti-aging product today is either mistaken or lying”.
I bet you are thinking, “Won’t that oil make acne worse?” The answer is not if you are using the right oil. Some essential oils such as bergamont, lavender, lemon, neroli, sandalwood, tea tree and ylang ylang have cleansing and antibacterial properties which help combat acne infections. Other essential oil like geranium, clary sage and orange regulate the production of oil on the face. When mixed with a carrier oil such as jojoba or camellia, these essential oils are ideal moisturizers.
Nothing that you put on your face will truly change your appearance. Creams are useful, but they are only one instrument in an orchestra of anti-aging concerts. Health starts on the inside. If you want to improve your beauty start with how you treat yourself and feed yourself. I mean not only what foods you eat but what thoughts you eat.
You may eat thoughts of the sort, “I can’tŔ, “I had a stressful day”, “I’m tired ofŔ, “I can’t wait untilŔ, “I’m getting old”, “My body isn’t as healthy as it used to be”. The menu is endless. If you want to look young and healthy, you have to think young and healthy thoughts. Here’s steps to jumpstart your quest:
Start by changing your thinking. Develop your own youth model, i.e. with steps you’ll take to maintain your vitality and stick to it.
Enjoy nutritious foods. A study in the Journal of American College of Nutrition found that eating a variety of fruits and vegetables and using olive oil every day could help keep wrinkles away. The researchers found that people who ate a diet rich in green leafy vegetables, beans, olive oil, nuts and multigrain breads, while avoiding butter, red meat and sugary goodies, were less predisposed to wrinkling. Researchers believe that antioxidant vitamins, such as A, C and E, which are found in fruits and vegetables, may help protect the skin from environmental damage.
Use a gentle cleanser each day.
Steam your face everyday for 5-15 minutes, especially if your have acne. The steam removes waxy build-up on the skin while it stimulates circulation. This combo of benefits cleans to pores to reduce the possibility of acne while firming up the skin and facial muscles.
Exfoliate your skin daily.
Moisturize your face in the morning and evening with natural oils. In addition to the acne fighting oils listed above, you can mix essential oils such as frankinsense, myrrh, neroli and rose to help encourage the growth of new skin cells. You can create a moisturizer by diluting 1-3 of your favorite essential oils in a carrier oil such as jojoba or camellia oil in a ration of 1 part essential oil to 3 parts carrier oil.
Massage your face daily when you apply your facial oil.
Lie down on an incline bench for 5-20 minutes each day to let the blood flow to your head.
Wear a sunhat in the sun.
Give yourself a light skin peel once a month.
Finally, forty can still be fabulous and your beauty-plan a lot less enigmatic. Just remember the basics, interpret the messages of your zits, and educate yourself about wrinkle creams- you don’t need them.
