Home, Health and Happiness
From my home to yours this morning I want to come and share some things I have been learning about, perhaps these things will bless some of you sisters. Perhaps it will lead to better understanding of health and happiness and allow some of you to know me for who I truely am inside and what has been happening in my life the last several years.

I want to first and formost appologize to any sister i offended in the past, due to how I word things or things I might have said in anger or maybe just not thinking before I spoke. And I am asking for forgiveness for this area in my life where I was not so controlled at times. Its not that I think standing on the Word was wrong to do, but I could have handled it better in the past and I am going to be doing that now, so as to offend no one, Lordwilling. Keep me in your prayers as I heal and try to get healthy.

 I will tell you I have surely been a mess and in need of help and healing from the Lord God. I try to search out natural health for myself and my family, so this lead to reading several books on Womanly Health. The books i have read recently are the following:

What your Dr may not tell you about Premenopause
What your Dr may not tell you about Menopause
What your Dr may not tell you about Breast Cancer
All by Dr. John Lee

In my reading I learned so much about womanly health that it wasn't funny, you know you think you grow up learning all their is to know about it, but we do not know much at all. So in my quest for Health in a Natural way, which I feel is God's Way, I learned that
Hormones can reek havoc in your life... I am not sure how many of you have heard these sayings...excuse the boldness or crudness of some of them ok...

Your Hormonal... you will get over it...
She's on the rag...
Its her time of the month...

Don't you hate it, it makes you feel downgraded as a woman which the Lord God made us to be and well why is it this world looks down on women so much ?  I will freely admit that there are things as a woman I did not enjoy going through. Bleeding, Cramps, Clotting, Flooding, Mood Swings (  Sis Peggy I can say you may have been right that I seemed like two different people in years past, I can happily say I am of sound mind and do not have multiple personalities !!!! )  Nausea, Headaches, Low or changing blood sugar levels, insomnia, bloating, weight gain ( the kind that doesn't want to come off no matter what you do) There is so many more things I suffered but you get the point... I
had no Joy in anything in life most the time and the things I did enjoy well circumstances took those things I  loved to do or enjoyed away from me.  Do I  think the Lord allowed this for a good reason ? YES....   So I would seek Him, His ways and a more healthy way to live and eat and heal myself and my family.

Sisters, being hormonally imbalanced and or estrogen dominant isn't a funny thing, it is a painful , heartbreaking thing to suffer through.  I want you to know you must take charge of your health care and not just take your Dr's word for things. My OB has been telling me for two years my tests are all fine, my hormone levels are just fine... But I know better after reading these books and looking at all the things I suffered through . Also I have looked at the ways that women suffer needlessly through things that can be helped when they say there is no cure for things. Things like Cancer of the Breast, Cervix and Uterus.  Let's face it , some health issues are warning signs of more serious things to come if we do not heed the warnings the Lord gives us and Change our Diets, Excercise and Health Care and most importantly our veiw of things and Our lifestyle and Family's stress level... STRESS...did you get that part, it can make you litterally ill.

Right now I need to ask for prayer, for myself healthwise. As you know I recently lost a baby in November. Right now I am Bleeding alot heavier then I normally do, but I can at least tell you I know why I am and I intend to do something to help remedy the issues I face in this life. And with the Lord's help I will strive to be more healthy and more learned in the things to care for myself and my family.  Ladies without caring for yourselves, who will care for your family ?  Love, Cook , Bake, Clean, Do Laundry, Homeschool, your Husband and Children....

I am going to in the coming months, Lordwilling days share with you what I have learned and what I am doing about it and How the Lord is blessing me and Healing me. 

We will be moving soon, the abstract and survey are back on the new house.PTL for this... Its been a long wait to in a couple weeks we should be moving to our new home and finally  getting back to some sort of normal in our lives. Its been a learning exsperience for sure...

May the Lord Bless you and enrich your lives as you serve him in your home,
Love
Linda

PS: I am going to use Emirta Natural Progestrone Cream, this can be found locally here in NY at Nature's Marketplace in Wegmans or online at www.emirta.com  (Do not use creams containing Wild Yam or Soy , if it is derived from Yam it is fine. Make sure it says that and is USP Natural Progestrone and that it meets the specifications that Dr. Lee states in his books and apply it to areas of the skin that are thiner or you blush, face, neck, hands, inside of arms, chest area. Also do not exceed the recommended amount of usage that he suggests for the symptoms your suffering.

Anyone with more questions can email me at thecountryhomemaker@yahoo.com
and I will be happy to share what I have learned with you and help you if you want to
share your sufferings with me. 

These books are for all women to read and good learning tools for teaching our daughters the truth of womanly health.

I also highly recommend Shondra Parker's books:
Naturally Healthy Woman
Naturally Healthy Pregancy
Mommy Diagnostics
and her herbal courses, which I intend to take in the near future myself, but her books are so good and also a learning tool in teaching our daughters and ourselves.

Dec. 16, 2005 - Estrogen dominant

Posted by a1health


I am estrogen dominant also. That, and my severe blood disorder, are the main causes of my child loss as well. I have lost 4 since 2001, including 35 wk stillbirth. My husband is a naturopath and is checking for natural ways to raise my estrogen, but wild yam cannot be counted on to be as powerful as synthetic estrogen. I did that with the last pregnancy and it only lasted 10 wks.

Good luck to you. You will be in my prayers.
