hot flashes...herbs

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

I am 43 and pre-menopausal. Actually I was diagnosed as pre-menopausal four

years ago. i have not had a menstrual in about a year. However, I continue to

have hot flashes and feel hot a lot. I have heard of some herbs that can reduce

menopausal hot flashes. Could I take these herbs while on the candida diet?

Also, I sometimes wonder if I am experiencing additional hot flashes from being

on your program. Is it common for the body to feel hot due to detoxing? I

also feel I experience the hot flashes if I eat a little of something that is

not on the candida diet food list. If so, is this good or bad?

Thanks always

Tammy

+++Hi Tammy,

There are many reasons a person can get hot flashes and feel hot that aren't

related to menopaue. That's why men can also have hot flashes.

Hormone changes during menopause can contribute to having hot flashes, but that

doesn't mean menopause is the " cause " since menopause is a natural process.

Your body can get hot in some areas or overall, due to fever it creates in order

to help it heal itself.

In the book Life Without Bread, Dr. Lutz writes this:

" Excess insulin production from dietary carbs can overstimulate the pancreas... "

" ...many pancreatic hormones can be released by overstimulation of the pancreas,

for example seritonin [a hormone involved in nerve signaling], which causes hot

flashes and headaches after meals. "

Therefore hot flashes are caused by the same things that cause all failing

health:

1. Lack of proper nutrition and oxygen.

2. Accumulation of toxins, poisons, and waste.

3. Lowered vitality due to stress, shock, injury, emotional upsets, relationship

or financial worries and concerns, etc.

4. Nutritional status inherited from parents upon conception.

So treating hot flashes directly, by any means, isn't going to help. That's why

treating separate symptoms, diseases, etc. by doctors doesn't work.

Remember that your body does everything for a very good reason because it an

overall well-coordinated system that is always working hard to restore its

health even while it is becoming more and more debilitated.

Vitamin E is important for hot flashes, but of course all nutrients work

together.

All the best, Bee
