Welcome To Our ECO Blog

Posted on May 21, 2007 by Susan LangeMay 21, 2007

Welcome to our ECO Blog!

The reason we have an ECO Blog is because in building your health, it is very important to include your home, and to make that as healthy as possible too. Over the years we have seen too many people come in to our clinic who are sick because of environmental toxins. According to the ancient Chinese text, the Nei Jing, it is far easier for us to prevent disease than to treat the symptoms. "Treating disease after it has occurred is like digging a well when you are already thirsty".

Creating a healthy home and office is an important part of the plan.

You may have noticed that we refer to the concepts of Bau-biologie a lot in our teaching and in our writings, and there is a section explaining the 25 Principles of Baub-biologie on our main website www.MeridianHolistic.com, posted under ECO Case Studies at the very bottom right. Take a look at those principles and find ways to include them in the building or remodeling of your home. Bau-biologie means the study of healthy building and how it affects us and our surroundings.

We will explore this whole concept in more detail in later blogs.

The Three Skins

In Bau-biologie we talk about “the three skins”: the lining of your digestive tract is your first skin, or your inner skin, the second skin is the one that contains your body, and the third skin is your home- the surroundings you live in.

How Do I know If I'm In Menopause?

Posted on May 19, 2007 by Susan LangeMay 19, 2007

Hello again from sunny Southern California,

I have just received an email from Marilyn in England asking how she can tell if she’s in Menopause:

"Where’s your menopause book??? I’m told I’m not menopausal, it’s just that we’re on the dark side of the moon (!) but I choose to hope it’s menopause! Anyway, no periods for 2 and a half months has got to be menopause, right?!! And yes, I’m taking the Female Balance! But seriously, what happened to your book – I haven’t heard anything about it for a long time. I had a book by a chap called John Lee (American doctor) but stupidly lent it to someone and never got it back. My osteopath tells me his mother is still having periods at the age of 58, but that’s because she’s got a wonderful therapist (him!). I’m thinking I don’t actually WANT periods till the age of 58 (or even 51, if I can possibly manage it!), but I guess we’ll see!"

The reason that I am answering Marilyn’s email online is because her questions touch on many different important issues that occur during the Peri menopausal period, and I have many women ask me similar questions.

Welcome to Dr. Susan Lange's Alternative, Women's and Environmental Health Blog

Posted on May 9, 2007 by Susan LangeMay 9, 2007

In the many years that I’ve been practicing alternative and environmental health and helping women with their specific health issues, I’ve come to realize that there is a lack of common sense in these areas. As well as a lack of practical, useful and applicable health information in these fields. My goal is to provide as much useful information as I can and bring some common sense back into the world.

Yes!

A Story for Women, their Hormones and the Ultimate Creativity

Posted on May 9, 2007 by Susan LangeMay 9, 2007

I just received this article late last night and it is a "must read" for any one who lives in or near a woman’s body. It was written by my sister, Phylipa Delglyn, who is an allergy therapist and Holistic Practitioner in England. She uses some very remarkable natural herbs to help women regain their inner balance and to support their hormones.

Check out the link to Tim O’Shea because he exposes the huge "Hormonal Industry" with some very chilling research. Another book you might want to read is "Women and The Crisis in Sex Hormones" by Barbara Seaman and Gideon Seaman M.D. This book was written in the 1970s and is still completely relevant today. I have been recommending this book to the women in my practice since 1980 and it is absolutely right on.

And finally, there truly is hope. Chinese medicine, acupuncture and herbs, and diet can be very effective in helping women balance their hormones, without the use of synthetic drugs. You may want to check out the products mentioned in the following article on the next page.
