dry mouth and the menopause?

I am going through the menopause and one of the most annoying symptoms for me is dry mouth.I am unable to take HRT due to a family history of breast cancer and would love to find an alternative remedy. Has anyone else experienced this symptom and found a successfully remedy.

Please understand that you are the lucky one in regard to not being able to take the typical HRT remedies. Doctors believe that by giving you a hormone that shows low on a lab test that you will be fine. What happens is that you feel better for a short while and then the roller coaster ride begins. Doctors do NOT understand hormone problems and certainly HRT is NOT the solution.

Menopause is a natural process and do you actually believe that you need drugs to solve the problem that nature intended? When you first went into puberty, your body’s natural mechanism caused your adrenal glands that had been making your estrogen give up that job and give it to your ovaries. This is nature’s way of saying that you are old enough to have a baby. In the same way, when you go through menopause, your body has decided that it’s time to give up that function due to your age and health, and give the job of making estrogen back to your adrenal glands. It’s really an easy process if, and it’s a BIG “IF,” if you live in America, for your adrenal glands to assume this job. The real problem is when your adrenal glands are exhausted or weak, they rebel and you get “SYMPTOMS.” Doctors label this a disease or syndrome, etc. Treating the symptoms is “Make Believe Health.” HRT therapy is big business and lots of money and office visits.

Your endocrine is a system of complex relationships and when you realize that ALL THE ORGANS in that system are like a spider web so when you affect one, you affect them all, just like touching a spider web, it shakes the whole web. Same principal.

Yes, you can help the process along by taking some hormones, like progesterone in the form of creams, etc. for a couple weeks, but that is about the only thing you typically need to do, other than making sure your diet is adequate to cause your adrenal glands to function properly. If you are eating a LOW FAT diet and LOW SALT, good luck making your adrenal glands work properly. Most Americans have livers and gallbladders that are not functioning well due to eating bad fats and oils and LOW FAT, LOW SALT diets. Pregnenalone is a precursor to making several hormones. When you eat lots of carbs, low fat, low salt, etc., you put your body in a state of stress and get a pregnenalone steal that causes high cortisol production and the ESTROGEN DOES NOT GET RECONJUGATED and your liver re-prioritizes to deal with the stress and you don’t make those steroid hormones, leaving you deficient in sex hormones.

Did your doctor explain this to you? Or did he just say, now, now, eat a balanced diet and a multivitamin pill and all this will be over in a little while?

To answer your question in regard to a dry mouth is typical due to a potassium deficiency and a general mineral deficiency. You most likely have a digestive issue that is a co-factor in your ability to utilize or even absorb your minerals. If you have ANY infection(s) in your body, this will use up your minerals. If you have a fatty acid deficiency and a mineral deficiency, you will not be making your endocrine hormones, simple as that.

Do 2 simple tests to see for yourself if these issues I’ve mentioned indicate these problems. The tests are simple and you don’t need a doctor to do them.

1. Get a blood pressure device and put the cuff around your leg calf muscle. Pump it up to the point where you feel a “charlie horse” starting to happen. Note the pressure. Wait a few minutes and do it again to verify the first test was the same result. If you can pump it to 240 on the dial, you are most likely NOT deficient in Calcium.

In addition to this test, get a roll of pH paper from your pharmacy that reads in the 5.5 to 8.0 pH range. Take the pH of your first morning Urine and see what the pH is. If it is below 6.4 to 7.0, you are mineral deficient.

2. Test the pH of your saliva by not eating for an hour or two and then use the pH paper by putting a piece of pH paper from the roll in your mouth and get a lot of saliva on it. That pH should read between 7.2 and 7.4. If it is low, you are deficient in fatty acids.

These two tests are simple and easy to do. Once you have determined the status of these tests, you can take action to correct the problems with diet and supplements.

Cancer is due 99% from infections. Breast cancer takes about 8 to 10 years to develop and you need to look very closely at your teeth. If you have ANY amalgam fillings (silver fillings), ANY root canals, or ANY teeth extractions (like wisdom teeth, etc.), you need to get to a good biological dentist to have them fixed. Typical dentists are NOT good and are creating huge problems by following their “standard of care” dentistry in America today. A huge number of breast cancer is coming from bad dental work. Fatty acid deficiencies are another major factor.

I would definitely see a CERTIFIED NUTRITIONAL THERAPIST to have them test you and make food diet recommendatio
