BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., May 2, 2011-- Natural menopause cures are often sought by many women to lessen symptoms that occur during menopause, which can be a difficult time. Dr. Shoreh Ershadi, director of the ANTIAGING Institute of California, wants to bring to the attention of menopausal women that now there may be a link between early menopause, with the onset of menopause symptoms, and exposure to common PFCs, or perfluorocarbons.
PFCs are used in a wide range of products, including plastic food containers, non-stick cookware, carpeting and furniture. By 2015, PFCs will be phased out. In the meantime, they are very prevalent and can be found in water, animals, soil, plants and people.
Animal studies show that PFCs inhibit the functioning of hormones, which may be responsible for bringing on early menopause in women. Natural menopause remedies may be sought by women who want to find relief from the symptoms that they will experience. If women are starting menopause at an earlier age due to PFCs in the environment, they will also be seeking help, very often a natural menopause remedy, in order to live their lives without troublesome sensations.
Natural menopause relief can be found when menopause does begin. But women may want to consider limiting their exposure to PFCs just as a precaution. It is not certain that PFCs definitely bring on early menopause, but there have been correlations between women with a higher exposure to PFCs and an earlier menopause. This is a red flag and bears further investigation.
Regardless of the age that women experience menopause, one thing is certain. Women with busy lives may seek a menopause treatment that can help them to cope with the symptoms that plague them. Dr. Ershadi advises the use of natural menopause supplements with safe ingredients that do not require a prescription to ease symptoms. DON'T PAUSE is a natural product, developed by Dr. Ershadi, that has been beneficial in alleviating menopause symptoms in women.
By limiting exposure to PFCs and using natural menopause solutions when symptoms occur, women can help themselves deal with menopause in a safe and natural way.

Dual Surveys Reveal Top Concerns for Menopausal Skin on Women
NEW YORK, Sept. 1 -- According to The Effects of Menopause on the Skin, a survey sponsored by Vichy Laboratoires, a division of L'Oreal Active Cosmetics, the vast majority of women over 50 reported experiencing notable changes in the condition of their skin during menopause. In fact, 53 percent reported that the most common issue they faced after entering menopause was dry skin, followed closely by an increase in wrinkles and a sagging neck. (1)
The results of this consumer survey are further supported by additional research conducted by Vichy Laboratoires. According to a survey of 625 dermatologists at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting 2010, the number one skin concern reported by menopausal patients is dry skin, followed in second by wrinkles. (2)
Hormones play a major role in the effects of menopause on the skin conditions of women. "By the time women hit their late 40's and 50's, as estrogen levels drop off, they often experience a rapid increase in collagen breakdown. In particular, this can manifest as sagging skin of the neck and jawline and is highly bothersome to my patients," says Boston dermatologist Ranella Hirsch.
About Vichy: Vichy is the #1 skincare brand in European pharmacies. Vichy Laboratoires is dedicated to advancing skin health through a deep understanding of how skin functions, supported by medical research. Vichy Laboratoires' patented ingredients -- combined with Vichy's mineral-enriched Thermal Spa Water -- deliver an exceptionally high level of efficacy, clinically proven by independent dermatologists.

Natural Menopause Treatments Explained by Dr. Ershadi
LOS ANGELES, April 19 / -- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a synthetic menopause treatment method available to women suffering from symptoms of menopause. While this treatment is effective, it has been linked to serious diseases such as breast cancer. Because of that, many women have chosen not to risk their health with HRT treatments. The risks associated with HRT are simply too great for many women.
In the past, women have resigned themselves to suffering menopause symptoms because they feared the potentially harmful consequences associated with hormone replacement therapy. These women determined to live with hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, fatigue, memory loss, mood swings, and strained relationships in order to protect their health and wellness. However, by not treating menopause symptoms a woman is increasing her chances of developing cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. These diseases can further interfere with a woman's life. Decreased bone density can result in serious fractures if the woman falls and injures herself. Menopause should not be left untreated and allowed to run its damaging course.
Treating Menopause Naturally
There are natural cures for menopause that women ages 40 and over may want to consider using. These natural menopause remedies include things such as natural menopause supplements. These supplements are not only designed to help alleviate the symptoms of menopause like hot flashes and night sweats, but they also help women maintain bone and muscle mass as well as prevent osteoporosis. Products such as herbal supplements for menopause are a safe, effective, natural way to treat a range of menopause symptoms. Even though every woman will not experience the same degree or intensity of the various symptoms related to menopause, herbal menopause remedies may be appropriate for any woman suffering with menopause.

The End of the Bio-Identical Hormone Debate
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Extension(R), the company that long ago sounded the alarm on the dangers of synthetic hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women, has published still more proof that bioidentical hormones offer a far safer treatment option.
For more information about Bio-Match at Derma Health Institute, go to:
http://www.dermahealthinstitute.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=250
A white paper entitled Bioidentical Hormones: Why Is There Still a Controversy, published in the October edition of Life Extension Magazine, provides compelling scientific evidence on the safety and effectiveness of bioidentical hormone therapy. This position paper strongly documents the advantages of topical bioidentical hormone creams in contrast to the known safety risks associated with orally-administered conjugated equine (horse-derived) estrogens and progestin.
Individualized topical bioidentical hormone creams are available only through select compounding pharmacies, as the FDA has caved into the powerful influence of the pharmaceutical lobby and limited the sale of estriol, which has grossly increased its price and decreased its availability.
The pharmaceutical industry has billions of dollars invested in pushing antiquated equine estrogens and non-bioidentical progestin formulations that have been repeatedly linked to toxic side effects. They have lobbied the FDA to restrict the sale of compounding estriol creams by labeling compounding pharmacies unsafe and unregulated.
The FDA approved the use of Premarin(R) (mare urine-derived estrogen) 67 years ago, but today the same drug is still being prescribed as the answer to estrogen depletion for a generation of women who are desperate for better alternatives. The science is in. The answers are clear. The time for this controversy is over.
