Top Three Killers

Women fear aging, increased wrinkles, sagging breasts and protruding tummies far more than more serious and fatal diseases including the top three causes of death: Heart disease (25.8%), cancer (22.0%) and stroke (6.7%) (CDC census 2006). Women in our culture are fearful of losing their self worth, identity and their husbands affection. They are obsessed with looking younger, being thinner and remaining sexually attractive into their golden years. Very rarely do women come in and want preventative health care to prevent heart disease, cancer or stroke. Yet, offices are filled with women taking hormones and supplements to slow the appearance of aging, not the internal development of diseases.




They will go under the knife, paralyze their facial muscles and go to great lengths to stave off the hands of time yet most women are rarely concerned with the top three diseases that are most likely to kill them unless their Mother, Sister or Aunt died at an early age from one of the diseases. They will spend thousands of dollars changing their external appearance rather than focus on lifestyle, dietary and supplemental therapies that could actually prevent or slow the progress of fatal diseases.



The only concern they have that actually improves their health is weight loss if they are over weight. This too can be a challenge as many women approach weight loss through unhealthy starvation or extreme diets. Lowering your BMI reduces your risk for heart disease, cancer and stroke so being concerned with this health issue benefits a woman's emotional outlook, personal self worth and prevents serious diseases from developing.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine when prescribed by a skilled and licensed practitioner can improve the function of one's heart, reduce blood clotting and reduce the likelihood of cancer developing or returning.  Many herbal prescriptions have anti-tumor properties that are beneficial to women who have a family or personal history with cancer.  Mushrooms, seaweeds and dark leafy greens have all been proven to improve the cardiovascular system and reduce the potential of cancer developing.  We only recommend pharmaceutical grade vitamins so your body has the bio-availability it needs to fight diseases.
