The window of opportunity for better health is slowly closing... Will you wait too long?

RE: Many women wait too long to take the steps to become well. Are you one of them?

The purpose of this website is to help educate women on how to achieve better health and to understand how God designed their bodies to function.

My hope is that you will be able to make better health decisions for yourself. Women who are aware of information pertaining to their specific health needs, tend to make wise decisions that will better their health in the long run.

If you are aware that certain treatments or procedures will lead to further complications, you can avoid those things which may cause problems down the road.

Although all health interests in general need a complete overhaul, my main area of concern is women’s health issues. I desire to minister to other women who may be prone to being taken advantage of or have needs the medical profession is not to meeting.

God says in 1 Corinthians 12:12 that the body is a whole unit, even though it is made up from many different parts; and even though all its parts are many and diverse they function together as one.

Understanding the function of a woman’s body will help us to understand what happens when the body is changed by drugs or surgery.

Current Article: The Low Down on Folic Acid

Folic acid is a B vitamin needed for cell replication and growth. Folic acid helps form building blocks of DNA, the body’s genetic information, and building blocks of RNA needed for protein synthesis in all cells. Therefore, rapidly growing tissues, such as those of a fetus, and rapidly regenerating cells, like red blood cells and immune cells, have a high need for folic acid. Folic acid deficiency results in a form of anemia that responds quickly to folic acid supplementation.

In 1996, the FDA began to require that all enriched flour, rice, pasta, cornmeal and other grain products contain 140 mcg of folic acid per 100 grams. Among people who do not take vitamin supplements, this amount of food fortification has been associated with increased folic acid levels in the blood and decreased blood levels of homocysteine.

Key Uses for Folic Acid

Depression: A deficiency of folic acid can disturb mood; a large percentage of depressed people have low folic acid levels.
Gingivitis (periodontal disease) (rinse only): A 0.1% solution of folic acid used as a mouth rinse (5 ml taken twice a day for 30 to 60 days) has reduced gum inflammation and bleeding in people with gingivitis in double-blind studies....
