The Voice of Health with Dr. Robert Prather

Fibrocystic Breast is something that HALF of all women will suffer from at some time in their life. It can be scary and painful. In this episode, discover:

--That Fibrocystic Breast should be taken seriously (but sometimes is not by doctors) and is an indicator that something is wrong in your overall health and well-being.

--Why it is important to learn how to do a proper self-exam to differentiate between Cancerous Tumors and Cysts.

--The controversy on whether Fibrocystic Cysts have a correlation with breast Cancer. And why Dr. Prather believes there is a higher likelihood of getting breast Cancer if you have Fibrocystic Breasts.

--How the traditional medical treatments for Fibrocystic Breasts have a low success rate. And the amazing story of a young woman who was recommended for a double mastectomy, but had no cysts just three months after Dr. Prather dealt with the underlying "free radical pathology in her gut".

--The "Body Is The Hero" Structure-Function approach to Health Care that Dr. Prather uses to get the body working in proper balance (or "Homeostasis"). And how getting the body into Homeostasis allows the body to heal itself of Fibrocystic Breast.

--Why Dr. Prather's Structure-Function Health Care approach relies more heavily upon diagnostic tools and lab tests than the Disease Care approach. And how this reflects an individual approach to a person's health care as the underlying cause of symptoms can be different for each patient.

--The many different underlying causes of Fibrocystic Breast including hormones, toxic liver, lymphatic problems, structural issues, low Iodine, low Vitamin D, or an imbalance of Fatty Acids.

--That there are 64 different hormones that affect the breasts, the balance of which vary based upon the time of the month. Plus, the gentle approach Dr. Prather uses in balancing out a patient's hormones compared to dangerous pharmaceutical hormone replacement or bioidentical hormones.

--How high fiber intake reduces toxins, balances hormones, sheds weight, lowers free radicals, and helps clear up the Fibrocystic Breast condition. And why Dr. Prather says 98% of people need more fiber.

--How a backed up lymph system (through infections or allergies) impacts breast health. And why Dr. Prather says to avoid underwire bras.

Menopause is when a woman has gone an entire year without having a period. But that natural process can be associated with unpleasant symptoms and increased health risks. In this episode, find out:
--The average age of menopause is 51, but it can happen anytime from the late 30’s to the early 60’s.
--How "Perimenopause" or "pre-menopause" can last from two years up to eleven years. And how a woman can still get pregnant during this stage.
--The LONG list symptoms of menopause, all associated with the hormone changes that are occurring. And why Dr. Prather says that you can avoid or lessen those symptoms by getting your hormones in proper balance.
--That increased incidence of alcoholism, drug addiction, and divorce are associated with the turmoil women experience with menopause.
--The risks of hormone replacement therapy, such as increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer, and osteoporosis. And how studies on bioidentical hormones had to be STOPPED because women died at such a high rate and are "more dangerous than the pharmaceutical hormone replacement".
--The Structure-Function Health Care approach Dr. Prather uses to help the body to self-regulate. And how the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and breast cancer DECREASE through this approach.
--Why Dr. Prather's Structure-Function Health Care approach is more dependent upon proper diagnostics and lab tests than the Disease Care approach in order to accurately determine what is going on in the body and track the changes being made.
--How Menopause can age you if things aren't balanced out quickly. This includes bone loss, cartilage loss, headaches, rheumatoid arthritis, weight gain, increased toxicity and inflammation levels, and lowered immune system.
--Why Dr. Prather says herbs are "one of the better things" that "very effectively" shift the body's hormones to the correct balance. And how Homeopathics stimulate the body's own production and are "the quickest way to make changes".
--That women who smoke cigarettes have three times the symptoms than non-smokers during Menopause. And how alcohol and caffeine also increase Menopause symptoms.

Endometriosis is a painful and dangerous condition that affects 10% of all menstruating women and causes 50% of all fertility issues. In this episode, we talk about:
--The 80% greater likelihood for a woman to suffer from Endometriosis if they have a female family member who suffers from it. And why a girl starting her period later reduces her chance of Endometriosis, as well as other health problems.
--The health benefits of exercise--especially jumping jacks!--in preventing Endometriosis, as well as early periods for young girls. And how higher body fat percentage increases risk of Endometriosis.  
--Why heavy periods indicate a woman probably has Endometriosis. And how pelvic pain indicates a 75% chance of Endometriosis.
--How autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's Disease, Graves' Disease, Addison's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease, and Fibromyalgia increase your chances of having Endometriosis.
--Why the surgery for Endometriosis usually causes it to come back WORSE than it was before. And how the current medical options, such as birth control pills, aren't very effective.
--How hormonal imbalance is the biggest cause of Endometriosis. Plus, the role of a weakened immune system, higher inflammatory rate, and chemical toxicity (such as high Copper) in Endometriosis.
--The Structure-Function approach Dr. Prather uses in getting the body in proper balance so that the body itself can treat the Endometriosis. And the role thorough blood tests play in Dr. Prather's approach in getting to the root cause of Endometriosis.
--The story of a patient who had been through In Vitro Fertilization Therapy THREE times with no results, but became pregnant after Acupuncture helped eliminate the inflammation of Endometriosis. And why Dr. Prather says Acupuncture "has been shown to be one of the very best treatments for Endometriosis to reduce the inflammation".
--How Chiropractic care helps normalize the menstrual cycle and has helped the Endometriosis symptoms to "go completely away" for many patients Dr. Prather has treated.  
--How The Prather Practice tests "more thoroughly than almost anybody else" for hormone balance. And why the powerful hormone replacement therapies are only necessary in about 2% of the cases, while more natural approaches The Prather Practice uses are far more effective as they stimulate your body's own hormone production.
