Introduction

"Now you're a woman!" Mother announces proudly. But it does not take long from that moment a young girl hears those words at the beginning of her first period to the time when she begins thinking about menopause--to her, the time when the embarrassment, messiness, and inconvenience of having her period come to an end. After all, by now, Mother has also told her,"Don't worry, Dear, it will stop some day." What that mother, and millions of others, do not tell their daughters is that when a woman's period stops at menopause, her entire body changes, and she becomes susceptible to debilitating conditions and diseases. We at herbode.com are not here to replace the wisdom of your mother, but we are here to provide the most current information which will give you the poise and power to make the right decisions. As specialists in the field of women's health, we are aware of, and are committed to helping you with two difficult situations.

First, we are committed to answering the tough questions that women have been afraid to ask, and second, we are committed to answering the questions that women are asking that the current medical standard has been refusing to answer. One specific question that herbode.com plans to answer very emphatically--even to the extent that some may view us as radical--is this, "Do women have to go through menopause?" Our simple, yet definitive, answer is "NO! Women do not have to go through menopause. "And, we prefer that our thinking be considered "revolutionary" rather than radical. Now, let us illustrate this revolution. We cannot go into battle without the proper armor, in this case, "education." At approximately age thirteen, girls start having a monthly period which is the result of a menstrual cycle. This menstrual cycle is a complex rhythm of body chemicals, follicles, proper hormone levels, feedback loops, receptors, and sexual organs.

This menstrual cycle is responsible for the development of the female body and its characteristics from her skin to her breasts. A normal menstrual cycle is responsible for a woman's sexuality and her ability to "carry" a child. If a woman becomes a mother, the menstrual cycle controls the mental capacity required to nurture and raise children. In a most complex fashion, the menstrual cycle is responsible for the proper development and maintenance of bones and the tiniest of blood vessels on the most important organ in the body, the heart. In our society, some women claim that since they have stopped having monthly periods, they feel "dead." As these women seek medical treatment, they complain of depression and irritability. They also complain that their skin is starting to sag and that their hearts sometimes beat so rapidly that they become afraid. Further, some show signs that their bones are weakening as evidenced by the "humps" on their backs.

Many have even sought psychological help because they have lost the desire to have sex with their husbands whom they still love after twenty-plus years of marriage. In all of the situations listed above, the women were offered a medical treatment. But the treatment was for the complaint; it was not a treatment for the cause of the complaint. All of these complaints resulted from one significant event-- the cessation or absence of the menstrual cycle. The revolutionary concept of "Life Without Menopause" is to continue or foster the continuance of a woman's menstrual cycle, thus eliminating the common "complaints" associated with menopause. The medical treatment that allows for the continuance of a woman's menstrual cycle is this-- Natural Cyclic Hormones™. Natural Cyclic Hormones™ are attainable, and herbode.com is here to teach you about them and how and where to get them.

Natural Cyclic Hormones™ combine the same ingredients that were responsible for your menstrual cycle in the first place: hormones, feedback loops, receptors, etc. In essence, Natural Cyclic Hormones™ mimic the natural menstrual cycle. This concept in hormone replacement is revolutionary because herbode.com and you will be partners throughout the entire process. We will be asking and answering each others questions.
