PERUVIAN MACA-HORMONAL BALANCE FROM WITHIN

MACA rejuvenates the endocrine system for both men and women.

The importance of hormones to our health and well-being cannot be overstated. Researchers on the aging process have repeatedly stated that it is caused, in large part, by the drop in all important and major hormones. Conversely, supplementing with natural, nontoxic forms of hormones can slow or even reverse some aspects of the aging process. However obtaining all of the necessary in the correct amounts can be a complex balancing act. Many women end up taking estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA, in an attempt to reproduce a youthful hormonal balance. And taking these substances can signal the master glands of the body, the hypothalamus, and pituitary, to produce fewer hormones internally.

But what would happen if there were a way to re-stimulate the entire endocrine system, starting with the master glands and proceeding to affect all the other major endocrine glands? What if those glands could be rejuvenated, as nature intended, so that we could produce adequate amounts of our own hormones once again? According to prominent researchers, there is a way to accomplish this seemingly impossible goal. By taking an herb called Peruvian MACA, most women can release their dependence upon taking hormones.

MACA Lepidium Peruvianum Chacon, is a turnip-like root that grows at a high elevation in the Peruvian Andes Mountains. Prized by the Incas and later by the Spaniards, MACA is now emerging from obscurity and near-extinction to take its place among the most valuable herbs known to mankind. It contains large amounts of calcium and potassium, as well as iron, silica, and many trace minerals. For this reason it is used in Peru and elsewhere to treat and to prevent osteoporosis.

Most striking, in any way, is the fact that the MACA root contains natural substances, which stimulate the pituitary and hypothalamus. These glands in turn trigger the ovaries, adrenals, testes, thyroid, and pancreas to return to healthy functioning, thus producing normal amounts of hormones. This has been demonstrated with the sex hormones through the use of saliva hormone examine. In addition, a number of people taking thyroid medication have also found that they can cut down or stop taking thyroid hormone. MACA is also described as having powerful energizing and fertility affects. It can help couples that are trying to conceive a child, as it affects in both sex, increasing sperm count in a matter of days.

MACA is used and endorsed by prominent doctors such as Gabriel Cousens and Burton Goldberg. It is being prescribed by a number of doctors to treat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, adrenal exhaustion, and to restore energy and vigor to the elderly. MACA is described as an aphrodisiac for both men and women, undoubtedly because of its effects on testosterone levels. Several prominent medical doctors, including Dr.Burton Goldberg, have publicly stated that it greatly improved their sexual functioning.

No one product is effective for all women, but in most cases, MACA works very well. Nurse practitioner Stephanie Smith from New York State says that 95% of the women in her practice have been successful in using MACA under her guidance. Dr. Muller says that she would put the figure as at least 90%. Women who have had complete hysterectomies, usually have a more difficult time in using MACA to supply their hormonal needs, but in many cases this is still possible. Hugo Malaspina,MD, a respected doctor from Lima, describes the case of a patient who had her ovaries removed. The woman was taking HRT but still did not feel well. When examined, she had a very low estrogen level despite the hormone replacement therapy. Two months after she began taking MACA, the patient was re-tested and showed adequate estrogen levels. MACA enabled the adrenals to make sufficient hormones to avoid symptoms, commented Dr. Malaspina.

Cultivated only in the Andes of Peru, MACA is grown at a higher elevation than any other food or medicinal product on our planet. The MACA root is harvested, dried and powdered, then taken orally. The active ingredients in MACA are not phyto-estrogens, nor are they hormone like substances such as are found in wild yam. Instead, they are naturally occurring alkaloids. Dr. Gloria Chacon, a biologist from Peru, states that the alkaloids in MACA act on the hypothalamus-pituitary axis, which explains whythe effects in humans are not limited to [the] ovaries and testes, but also act on the adrenals, giving a feeling of greater energy and vitality, and on the pancreas and thyroid as well. Organically grown MACA is highly recommended as it has the highest percentage of active ingredients.

MACA is beneficial for women from peri-menopause, through the change, and beyond. It is recommended for the peri-menopausal woman for two reasons. First, it will usually relieve the symptoms of peri-menopause because it has a balancing effect on the hormones. For example, if you are estrogen dominant, MACA will increase progesterone levels so that your hormones will come into balance with each other. Secondly, taking MACA from peri-menopause on will help to keep your endocrine system toned and healthy, making it likely that you'll sail through menopause.

 Women will find MACA a safe and completely drug-free alternative to using hormones. Women who have been using estrogen and progesterone of any sort will need to make a gradual transition to using MACA. This may take anywhere from a couple of weeks to several months and is done gradually so that the body naturally adjusts to producing its own hormones. Usually, women also find that they no longer need to supplement with other hormones such as pregenolone or DHEA.

Post-menopausal women who are not currently using hormones will also benefit from the use of MACA. Not only will they find help to raise hormone levels to a healthy post menopausal state, but it will assist in preventing osteoporosis. In Peru, several prominent doctors to treat osteoporosis and the healing of bone fractures prescribe MACA. Stephanie Smith, RN, says that One patient who has been taking MACA for over a year had a series of bone density studies done that showed increased density in the spine. Osteoporosis is a serious and potentially dangerous condition. Taking a small amount of Peruvian MACA daily is an inexpensive and effective way to support bone health.

MACA can also help with chronic fatigue syndrome and general fatigue brought on by aging. It is being prescribed for people with CFS and in many cases it does help, because it raises DHEA and cortisol levels. Most people with CFS have adrenal fatigue, and MACA is very effective for rebuilding exhausted adrenal glands. This will take time, if the adrenals are exhausted by long-term stress; although in some cases noticeable increases in energy can occur within a couple of weeks. Doctors to increase vigor or energy in the elderly also prescribe MACA.

In addition to balancing hormones, MACA can work on a gradual, continuous basis to improve all-over health. MACA is known as an adaptogen which means that it works in harmony with the body, regardless of age or sex.

In a conversation of Elora Gabriel with Dr.Viana Muller, they discussed Dr. Mulleys belief that somewhere on the planet, there is an herb or plant to meet every need of the human body. Maca Imperial, coming from the rarefied airs of the Peruvian highlands, is the royal road to endocrine health and hormonal balance.
