April 2000In this issue... Be Menopositive! Seminar 2000 Schedule Be Menopositive! Audio Tapes Supernatural Soy International Menopause Congress A Great New Internet Site Infertility News Welcome!Welcome to our first newsletter. Joan and I are pleased that so many of the attendees from our seminar Be Menopositive have visited our web site and have signed up for the newsletter. We also want to welcome those of you who have not attended one of our seminars but who have met us for the first time on our web site. If this newsletter is helpful to you - please forward it to a friend or family member. Be Menopositive Seminar 2000The schedule for Be Menopositive for this year has been announced. We will be holding 12 events throughout Ontario. The list can be found under the seminars button on this web page. We were overwhelmed by the response of the people of Sarnia Ontario on April 12th. There were more than 425 people who managed to get into the room. We had men and women sitting on the stage with us and in added chairs at the back of the room and in every nook and cranny. We felt very badly that many were turned away but it was impossible to accommodate everyone safely. We have already been asked to return to Sarnia next year and we plan to do so. To those of you who attended, we appreciate your enthusiastic response and well wishes and your validation that public education about menopause is important. The questionnaires that you returned after the event were virtually unanimous in rating the evening very good or excellent. This is the third time that we have spoken in Sarnia and your warm welcome has made it one of the venues that we look forward to each year. If any of you have friends who did not make it into the room, perhaps you could pass on the information that we will be at the London Convention Center on November the 21st and we would love to see them there. Be Menopositive Audio TapesIn response to the many requests that we have received both at our seminars and on the internet, we have taped a complete Be Menopositive seminar live. In addition we have added another half hour of new material by both Joan and Larry and have included this in the tape set for added value and information. The three tape cassettes run three hours and is packed with the latest information on self-esteem and the menopause. Those people attending our seminars fill out a questionnaire at the end of the night. Ninety-eight percent of the attendees rated Be Menopositive as very good or excellent. The written comments on the questionnaires have praised the great scope of the information and the clarity of presentation. Now you have a chance to review this very same information or pass it on to a friend in need. The tape set will be available during the first week of May 2000 and will be offered both at our live seminars and on the internet initially at a substantial discount . For more information click here. www.drkomer.com/seminars.htm Supernatural SoyMuch has been written about the benefits of soy both at www.DrKomer.com and in the media. As I have pointed out in the section on soy on this site and at our seminars, I been frustrated in trying to find high quality soy for my patients. This has led me to develop our own Supernatural Soy which contains the highest quality soy isoflavones. The capsules have undergone strict quality control in their production. Two capsules per day give the required 60 mg of isoflavones that are recommended in the perimenopause and the menopause. I have had great success utilizing Supernatural Soy in my practice with my own patients and I am now pleased to be offering it on the internet at a special introductory price. Click here for more information. www.drkomer.com/soyinformation.htm International Menopause CongressJoan and I are pleased to report that we both have been invited to the International Menopause Congress in Copenhagen Denmark in early July 2000. This was in recognition of the leading role that we are playing in public education on the menopause. This conference will give us an opportunity to speak with colleagues from around a world, to find out about the latest treatments for menopause and to bring back to you information on this site and at our seminars about what to expect in the future. We look forward to this opportunity of giving you the latest updates and will post them on DrKomer.com later in July. A Great New Internet SiteOne of my close friends and colleagues, Dr. Blair Lamb, is one of the foremost experts on chronic pain. I had just about given up on getting any help for the longstanding pain that I've had for many years until I consulted Dr. Lamb. Up until that point I had seen numerous other physicians and a chiropractor with only modest relief. Dr. Lamb explained to me his theory of pain and its treatment and it made a lot of sense. The results have simply been amazing and most gratifying. I have referred patients to him with the same results. I am the team doctor for a professional lacrosse team and have sent both coaches and players to Dr. Lamb, who have had the same successful outcome. Dr. Lamb has an excellent new web site called DrLamb.com and I would recommend it to any of you suffering from chronic pain. www.drlamb.com InfertilityI have spent a lot of my professional life in Obstetrics and Gynecology treating infertility. Two of my infertility patients phoned this morning to say that they have positive pregnancy tests and both were ecstatic. These patients once again impressed upon me the importance of supplying up to date information on getting pregnant when there is a problem. Therefore one of the next areas on www.DrKomer.com will be adding information is the section on infertility. We not only want to discuss practical information but also want to give encouragement to couples who are having problems conceiving. It has been my feeling over the years that a positive approach increases pregnancy rates. There are two new and exciting developments in infertility that I want to mention in this newsletter. The first is in the area of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCO). This condition often results in irregular periods and problems conceiving. Past treatments such as medication like Clomid have only been partially successful. However there is a new treatment using the diabetes drug Metformin that has worked so well that almost every patient with PCO that I have treated has become pregnant on it. This has changed my management of this condition and has given superior results. Another area of infertility that has been frustrating to deal with has been male infertility. The traditional sperm count has left a lot to be desired in both diagnosing and treating male infertility. The sperm count tells us the number of sperm that are present, the percentage that are shaped normally, and the percentage that are moving. However there is new advanced sperm testing available that tests for many other important factors that up until now have not been looked at. These factors include sperm velocity, sperm fragility, the presence of anti sperm antibodies, the ability of the sperm to dissolve its way into the egg, and the ability of the compacted chromosomes within the sperm to unravel. All of these factors are important and we are pleased to offer the availability of this testing through our clinic. Look for more information as we add it to the infertility section of this web site.
