Questions?
**********************************************************************
We are preparing a series of Questions & Answers newsletters to come in the next few weeks. If you, your family or friends have questions on
women's health, self-esteem, menopause, breast cancer, hormone replacement therapy, infertility, pregnancy etc. that have not been sent to us, please
visit www.drkomer.com/askjoankomer.htm for Joan Komer
or www.drkomer.com/askdrkomer.htm for Larry Komer

Seminars On Cassette
**********************************************************************
Some of you attended our Be Menopositive! seminars on menopause, self-esteem and women's health. Others of you may not have. This has
been an important part of our work and the comments we have received over the years have confirmed again and again that these seminars made a
difference for women and their families.
Knowing that many could not attend the actual seminars and that many others wanted to be able to review the material, we have taped the
seminar.
The 2 1/2 hour seminar was recorded live and is now available on three audio cassettes in an attractive case. They are great for a review if you
were there, they will help your understanding of menopause and women's health (informative and entertaining for other family members too!) and
are a great resource for friends.
You may purchase them online with Visa or MasterCard in either U.S. or Canadian dollars.

Supernatural Soy
**********************************************************************
Soy has become the most important natural therapy that I use in my practice. You should consider its use in your wellness routine.
For many years it has been known that in Japan and China there is a decreased rate of menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, heart disease, breast
cancer and prostate cancer. This has been traced to the use of soy in the diet. In these countries the intake of soy is 100 to 1000 times what it is
in North America.
Research has now shown that it is the plant hormone or phytoestrogen in soy that is responsible for these beneficial effects. These phytoestrogens
act like estrogen in some ways and not like estrogen in others. They act as adaptogens working to balance estrogen levels, raising them if they are
too low and lowering them if they are too high. The most important group
of phytoestrogens is the isoflavones. The principal isoflavones are Genistein and Daidzein.
Not all soybeans are created equal, some are rich in isoflavones and some are poor. Examples of soy include the soybeans themselves, tofu, miso,
natto, okara, tempeh, yuba, soymilk and soy protein powder. In addition there are soy supplements. Many of the products do not list the isoflavone
content of the product.
Research has shown that 50 to 60 milligrams (mgm.) per day of the isoflavones is the beneficial amount. This is best taken in two separate
doses during the day. The isoflavones are heat-stable which means they are not destroyed by cooking. Do not use products that state they are alcohol
extracted since the alcohol process removes the isoflavones from the product.
Plant hormones have a safety record centuries long. Compared with commercially prepared drugs, their potency is very low. They appear to
have no down side.
Soy foods are nutritional dynamos. They are high in vitamins, minerals and protein. Although soybeans belong to the legume family that includes peas,
beans and lentils, soy is different in that it is high in beneficial complex carbohydrates. Over 35% of the calories in soybeans come from high
quality protein. Soy protein is equivalent in quality to animal protein and is superior to most plant protein when it comes to meeting human
protein needs. Many soy foods are rich in calcium. Soy foods contain a
wide array of vitamins, especially rich in some of the B-vitamins such as niacin, pyridoxine and folic acid.
Dr. Komer's Supernatural Soy product is now available online. For those beginning to use soy, use it for at least two months for effect.
