COMFREY
Symphytum officinale
The foliage and root of this plant contain a nitrogenous, crystalline substance called allantoin which is a cell proliferant. Comfrey is a demulcent, alternative, expectorant, astringent and nutritive tonic. It has a soothing and healing effect upon every organ it comes in contact with. Comfrey is used externally for broken bones, sores and because of the above cell proliferant action speeds up the healing of wounds. A poultice of freshly bruised leaves applied to a burn or wound, will increase the healing process and minimise inflammation. Since ancient times, Comfrey has also been known as the 'miracle herb', because not only is it a cell proliferant,  it also stops haemorrhages, is soothing to inflamed tissues. NOTE: Comfrey is poisonous and when taken in large amounts, or for long periods of time, it can accumulate. Seek advice from your naturopath.

TAKING ESTROGEN

With the onset of menopause, many women suffer from hot flashes and night sweats. Arlene March, 56, a Los Angeles psychotherapist, says she started getting hot flashes 5 years ago. “I’d be working,” she recalls, “and suddenly feel intense heat all over my body. I’d break out in a sweat. I’d have to stop work. Then Dr. Mishell prescribed estrogen pills, and I’ve not had a day of discomfort.”
Some women experience a drying and thinning of vaginal tissues in the absence of estrogen, making sex painful. They also might suffer urinary tract infections and incontinence. Estrogen therapy often helps.
Among the physicians consulted, the most cautious was Dr. Morris Notelovitz, founder of the nation’s first Menopause Center, at the University of Florida, and head of the Women’s Medical and Diagnostic Center in Gainesville, Florida. He says each symptom needs a different treatment and advises that genital tract problems be given estrogen treatment for a couple of years at most. He also urges special measurements of the bones before prescribing estrogen therapy for osteoporosis.

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION SYMPTOMS

Most patients have a combination of two or more of these problems. They are usually first given a thorough medical history and examination to determine the extent of the prob­lem and to hopefully pinpoint a cause. I want to briefly outline the nature of these four symptoms so that your problem will make more sense to you as a patient if you are experiencing any of them.

PRESCRIBED DRUGS

Taking prescribed medications with most vitamins is safe as is taking herbal complexes that are available through health food stores. However, you should always check with your doctor, your pharmacist or your naturopath. They are all trained to know what can go with what.

Weight loss

Overweight is most commonly a result of overeating and lack of exercise. Overweight and fluid retention often go together with people who have glandular problems or under-active thyroids. In such cases an iodine and phosporous deficiency may be the cause.
