Male Menopause: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Syndrome Counterpart

January 27th, 2009 No comments

Men are naturally anxious to reaching that point where testosterone level plunged downward, resulting to mens crisis called the male menopause or andropause in medicine. For them, this is a life-changing dilemma.

By the age 40, usually, men are into that transitional period. This will be indicated with signs such as irritability, easily stressed out and loses direction and passion for life. A turning point among men, andropause haunts men in more ways than one.

Three factors are said to cause this male menopause crisis. Testosterone fluctuation comes first. Testosterone or the male hormones gradually decreases its production as a man aged, and poor diet and exercise also triggers such reduction. Second, changes in brains biochemistry decreases neurotransmitters supply thus causing an increase in negative emotions like anger, impatience and hostility. And third and most resolvable is the accession of stress level. This can be due to alcohol consumption or a psychological stress. How one handles this condition greatly affects in coping with it. Dealing male menopause with a positive outlook makes it bearable and certainly not that abhorrent as it is already labeled as such.

Most wives complained of changed attitudes with their husbands characters turning from a Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde, all compassions gone. The male menopause and Robert Louis Stevenson book, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, have a common denominator.

The book narrated of a Dr. Jekyll in quest of splitting good from bad in man. Due to lack of support from friends and colleagues, he decided to do the test on his own self. He separated his own negative character transforming it to a Mr. Hyde. Thus, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were born. Mr. Hyde came to avenge those who were unsupportive and those who hurt Dr. Jekyll. Mr. Hyde was so evil stopping at nothing. Not even Dr. Jekylls vain pursuit to control him was able to stop Mr. Hyde.

The same can be true of men as they enter the male menopause period. During andropause, men go through big changes. From the gentle Dr. Jekyll, they can wake up in the morning to being Mr. Hyde. The transition can be gradually slow or fast. Men on this stage are possible of overnight changes. As a man goes through the male menopause stage, he tends to be overly confused with a lot of things that used to be simpler before. He loses his self-worth and confidence. The transition period from the first adulthood to the second adulthood can be devastating for most men, the same with that of Dr. Jekyll with his effort in controlling Mr. Hyde.

A man just needs to be supported and understood at times of this crisis in his life. Male menopause not only affects a single aspect in a mans life but in every aspect of his being, including those around him, the people he loves. It is a period of mental and emotional stress. Not to mention the physical changes as well. Andropause is where men just want to be freed and abort old ways. Extra care, love and importance must be provided for them without questions and conditions. It is at this time that they need it most.

There may be treatments and therapies to aid men in dealing with male menopause, for a smoother transition for them. But the only best remedy is to shower them with so much patience, understanding, and love.

WellnessComplete hCG Weight Loss Case Study #1

WellnessComplete- Case Study #1
Scot from Utah

I recently learned about hCG and the Pounds %26 Inches paper and protocol developed by Dr. Simeons. Let me take you back 6 years. I dropped nearly 30 pounds by watching what I was eating and lots of exercise. It took over 9 months to lose those pounds. The bad news is that I gained it all back on and then some.

I turned 40 last year and figured I was going to have a slow metabolism and be over weight for the rest of my life. Then I discovered the Simeons protocol. I was in. I started the injections and within two weeks I lost 12 pounds. I was pretty amazed and thought, I wonder how this works. That’s when I started asking more questions and learning more about what I had been hearing about on the T.V. for the last 6 months. My research only made me more excited about the program and was looking forward to losing a pound per day.

When I started the protocol I weighed 232 pounds. My total cholesterol was 185 and my blood pressure was usually 117/78. With the exception of my height to weight ratio I was in good health. I did however lack the energy to exercise, not to mention that I felt pain in my knees when I jogged.

That was three months ago. I now weigh 193 pounds and holding steady with some loss, my cholesterol is 149 and my blood pressure has been reading 111/72. My energy is greatly increased, my thinking is much clearer, my appetite and cravings are now manageable. I am running 3 miles a day up to five times a week. When not running Im riding my bike 10 miles each ride.

Even though I turned 40, I am no longer resigned to being fat and lethargic. During the protocol my wife said that she could see me getting a jaw line again. You can see before and after pictures of me at www.wellnesscomplete.net.

Wellness Complete Now Offers Dr. Simeons Famous Weight Loss Protocol

January 13th, 2009 No comments

By: David Salcido
WellnessComplete, a Utah based company, has opened their first wellness location with the introduction of a protocol for weight loss created by the late Dr. A.T.W. Simeons. Their goal is to direct patients toward improved health primarily through the implementation of the British physician’s now famous technique. In 1959, Dr. Simeons discovered that in trials using the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadatrophin), obese and over-weight patients began experiencing unexpected weight loss with little to no recidivism. He found that the regimen of hCG, combined with a restricted diet, for either 23 or 40 days, produced an amazing average weight reduction of one pound per day. Dr. Simeons devoted the following 10 years perfecting the hCG weight-loss protocol for men and women. Due to the fact that hCG has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of Cryptorchidism, Infertility and Anti-aging and has been in use for over 40 years, WellnessComplete made the decision to offer this protocol to their patients.

It has further been revealed through Simeons’ research that the hypothalamus gland, located in the brain is the connecting link between the nervous system and all of the body’s hormones. It is also identified as the “fat thermostat” hunger center of the body. The WellnessComplete Anti-Aging Weight Loss Program concentrates on tweaking the hypothalamus in an effort to re-set a patient’s fat thermostat and decrease food cravings. It is not uncommon to see WellnessComplete patients drop about one pound per day while on the protocol, similar to the results garnered by Dr. Simeons.

WellnessComplete offers years of clinical expertise (”through a medically supervised” treatment plan) and support as their patients follow this proven weight loss protocol. Under the direction of Robert B. Jones, D.C., F.A.S.A. and Dr. M. Kirk Moore, M.D., the Simeons hCG Protocol is medically supervised by a team of licensed medical doctors, nurse practitioners, physicians assistants, phlebotomists and medical assistants. The protocol begins with a one hour introduction followed by the drawing of blood from protocol participants. Blood tests are required to rule out any conditions that would disqualify patients from the program or to require prior treatments before a patient can start the protocol.

Once qualified for the protocol, the patient receives daily doses of hCG along with instructions on usage of the prescription. The patient receives bi-monthly check-ups during the 23 or 40 day protocol. Instruction on proper food consumtion is also included. Due to the success of the Simeons Weight Loss Protocol, it is not unusual for aspiring WellnessComplete patients to be placed on a waiting list for future consideration. Due to high demand for these services, and in order to reduce a growing patient logjam, WellnessComplete has announced plans to open additional clinics in regions throughout the United States. Candidates interested in receiving additional information are encouraged to go to www.WellnessComplete.net or are advised to contact Representative Dave Salcido at dave@WellnessComplete.net.

The Science Behind Male Menopause

January 7th, 2009 No comments

Once a man is in his mid-forties, he will eventually start to be concerned on the next stage of life, which is death. As a result, his apprehension of being next among those he knew who have passed away will eventually lead to several symptoms of which is often times referred to as mid-life crisis. This particular phase in a man’s life is called male menopause or medically known as andropause.

Loss of energy and fluctuation of mans virility level are just some of the most notable indicator of andropause. This is because of the alteration of the production of male sex hormones. Generally, this problem occurs to a man during the age of 45 up to 55.

Actually, andropause are two distinct stages that occur among males and are most of the time considered as one. As a matter of fact, mid-life crisis and andropause are associated with each other because mid-life crisis occurs to men between the ages of 35-45 years, which is before the andropause phase.

On the other hand, andropause may occur early depending on the person will respond to his mid-life crisis; and may also be delayed if that particular person maintains a healthy and active lifestyle.

Another symptom of andropause is the irregular loss of vitality. Meaning that particular person may be more irritable, significant loss of sex drives and the most notable is depression. Though most people consider these occurrences as normally caused by aging. In the field of medicine, andropause had become a disorder rather than a normal phase in a mans life. That is why medical science is constantly finding ways to solve this problem.

The predicament that usually occurs in a mans life called andropause is not inherited nor is it natural to all men. That is because, unlike menopause a predicament that occurs on women on the same of the same age andropause can be avoided and treated.

Stress is also one of the major factors that trigger andropause. Psychological stress and physical stress can lead to too much alcohol intake in the body and cigarette consumption. They can greatly aggravate the symptoms of andropause.

Usually, the result of malnutrition or nutritional deficiency of the mans body can lead to andropause. Symptoms such as nervousness, memory loss and low sex drive could be attributed to normal aging or shortage of chromium.

However, not all men can experience the effects of andropause. Such crisis is considered by some as an insult to a male body. That is why, having a healthy lifestyle is the main weapon in order to avoid or minimize the effects of male menopause.
