For Immediate Release
PHTN
December 30, 2007. Indianapolis, Indiana-Pure Health Trends Network today announced their plans to drive marketing and awareness towards their Balanced Woman formulation.

PHTN
Balanced Woman is a natural progesterone cream that was developed to Dr. John Lee’s specifications.

PHTN

“Our hope is to reach out to as many women as possible to let them know they don’t have to suffer with pre-menstrual syndrome, the symptoms associated with Menopause and many other issues associated with being a woman.” Said Jackie Marlin, Media Specialist for Pure Health Trends Network. “So many women just shrug off the symptoms and think, tomorrow will be a better day. Unless the body’s hormonal balance is restored though, there’s not going to be a better day. And once women start using the Balanced Woman they will see how different life really can be. We’ve had women using our formulation for 12 years. They’d never be without it!”

Pure Health Trends Network

Missy Massey said…
“OH MY, I don’t know what I would do without Balanced Woman. I had suffered with cramps all my life and after I had my tubes tied they became much worse. I mean so bad I couldn’t function for two days. My sister introduced me to Balanced Woman and my very first period after starting Balanced Woman, NO CRAMPS!!! That was almost two years a go STILL NO CRAMPS!”

Pure Health Trends Network

Shirley said…
I have been using your company’s progesterone cream for 8 years. I have tried 2 creams and both times I have gone back to Balanced Woman. It just works much better. Plus my husband makes sure I never forget to use it, my sex drive is as strong today as it was in my 30’s and we attribute it to Balanced Woman. Oh by the way I will be 60 next month.

These testimonials and more can be read on one of the Pure Health Trends Network blogs found at http://balancedwoman.blogspot.com

HTN
The Balanced Woman Awareness Campaign will be in full force on Wednesday, January 3, 2008.

PHTN
They are seeking 5 women from each of the following 3 categories: Women with PMS, Women in Pre Menopause, and women who have been diagnosed in the last year with non-malignant fibrocystic tumors.

PHTN
This study group of 15 women will receive a free tube of Balanced Woman each month for 4 months. Each of the 15 women will track their own progress twice a week. Their true names will not be given out unless they so desire. They can, instead use nicknames.

PHTN
Jackie Marlin added. “In the nutritional industry you see many fads come and go. The 7-Day Diet, The 1-Day Diet, The 1-Minute Diet, and then there’s the “Diet Cookie”. Then, there are those miracle juices that fix “everything”. They are here today, but where are they tomorrow? This doesn’t happen with the Balanced Woman progesterone formula. We still have the same faithful and loyal customers buying from us for over a decade. Why? It works.”

Do men have PMS? My 8 years old granddaughter whispered to me the other day, why is Pop cranky today? I wanted to say … oh don’t pay any attention to him today he must have PMS but since she is only 8 I didn’t want explain what PMS was.
Pure Health Trends Network
Seriously, years ago there is not a health care specialist anywhere that would come close to saying men suffer health challenges related to mid life changes in their hormone level. Now it is becoming apparent through medical research that men do suffer hormonal changes in their body starting at around 40 to 50 years of age.
Pure Health Trends Network
New research by Brent Formby, Ph.D. at the Sansum Medical Research Institute in Santa Barbara, CA has uncovered evidence that progesterone may help men with prostate problems. His results showed that progesterone inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cells and that estradiol (estrogen) and dihdrotestosterone (DHT) (bad testosterone) accelerate prostate cancer cell growth.
Pure Health Trends Network
Each year over 400,000 men in the United States alone undergo prostate surgery and over a billion dollars a year is spent on prostate treatment. Proscar, the leading drug is highly dangerous and according to the United States Veteran’s Administration is no more effective than a sugar pill. On the opposite side there are no side effects to using natural progesterone. By the age of 50, 35% of men have cancer cells in their prostate. Odds are 2 to 1 a man will have prostate problems by the time they are 60.
Pure Health Trends Network
In one of my earlier post I shared with you that our company sponsored many women health seminars all a crossed California with Dr. John Lee as our special guest speaker. Dr. Lee pioneered and blazed the trails for research on natural progesterone cream. I remember as a group of us ate lunch with Dr. Lee at one of our seminars he spent the entire lunch break talking to us about the importance of men using natural progesterone too. It was very interesting and was the beginning of my husband using Balanced Woman.
Pure Health Trends Network
It should not be forgotten that men benefit from progesterone too. It is important to the functioning of the male counterpart of the uterus, called the prostate gland. The prostate gland can be affected by hormonal imbalance just as well as the uterus can. If men have low progesterone levels their estradiol levels can increase. This increase can lead to cancer of the prostate, just as it leads to breast and uterine cancer in women.
Pure Health Trends Network
Dr. John Lee spoke about how he found men with elevated PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) levels having decreases of these levels when using progesterone cream daily. There were no progressions of their prostate lesions. Many men who were using their wives progesterone cream also reported that urinary frequency and urgency symptoms of prostate enlargement (BPH had decreased.
Pure Health Trends Network
Prostate cancer has been treated by the use of hormone-suppressing drugs that reduce testosterone levels. Many times the treatment benefits last only a few years then the cancer progresses. If unopposed estrogen is known to cause endometrial cancer then why would it not be the cause of prostate cancer, since both these organs originate from the same embryonic cells? Also progesterone inhibits the enzyme that converts testosterone to (DHT), which is known to stimulate prostate cell growth.
Pure Health Trends Network
Here is another very good reason men should used Balanced Woman. Most people consider osteoporosis to be a “women’s disease,” but according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, twenty percent of those affected by osteoporosis are men. Many studies have shown that progesterone treatment helps replace the bone density that has been lost due to osteoporosis.
Pure Health Trends Network
Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), the swelling of the prostate commonly known as prostatitis, affects 50 percent of men during their lifetimes. Progesterone treatment has been shown to shrink the prostate, alleviating the painful symptoms of BPH and allowing men to urinate more easily.
Pure Health Trends Network
Yes, men really do go though menopause … Male Andropause (Male Menopause)
Pure Health Trends Network
As I said earlier at about ages 40-50, starting even as early as their 30’s, men go through a change. The realization hits them - they are aging. Their bodily changes are accompanied by changes in attitudes and moods. During this time men frequently begin to question their values, accomplishments, and life’s direction. The entire pattern of these changes has led to the notion of the mid-life crisis.
Pure Health Trends Network
Health research results show that a mid-life crisis is physical. It’s a gradual and subtle shift in hormone production in the male body. Unlike a woman’s body, there is no medically defined marker, like a woman’s cessation of menstruation, which says a man is in male menopause - andropause. Science has known about andropause since the 1940’s, but only recently have there been accessible and easy to administer hormone tests. Now, more than ever, there is interest in men’s aging processes. Researchers are learning that letting this male hormone imbalance go untested and untreated can lead to some serious physical health risks. Emotional issues also occur with this imbalance that can add stress to a man’s health and well being.
Pure Health Trends Network
Some of the benefits of men using natural progesterone cream is it alleviates symptoms associated with enlarged prostate and it can enhance libido, improve energy, stamina and endurance.
Pure Health Trends Network
I encourage anyone reading this information … tell all the men in your life about the importance of using Balanced Woman a natural progesterone cream formulated to the specifications of Dr. John R Lee.

I had the biggest health scare of my life. I certainly feel it is a story I want to share with women all over the world. It is a story that could be life saving. I was 53 and NEVER had a mammogram. In November of 2006 I had my first mammogram. I left the office happy and care free totally expecting to receive a letter from the doctor’s office in a few days saying the test was normal and to be retested in 2007.
breast cancer
Then later in that same day after I had the mammogram my phone ring and it was the doctor’s office asking if I could be in their office @ 8:30 AM the next morning for a diagnostic mammogram and an ultra sound. They had found THREE tumors in my breast. I was SHOCKED and VERY AFRAID. The rest of the day was filled with lots of praying and wondering what IF.
tumer
I had lost my mother in law to cancer in 2002 and the memory was so fresh in my mind. My husband was also shaken by the news and insisted on going to the doctor with me. The doctor examined and examined the tumors through the ultra sound and it seems like I was on the table for an eternity. As she showed me the tumors on the screen and the longer I was on the table the more afraid I became, every negative thought I could think of was racing through my mind.

In conclusion the doctor said there was less than a 1% chance the tumors were malignant…. but she wanted to see me every 90 days. NOW … my friends I say to you today … IF I had NOT been using the natural progesterone Balanced Woman formula for the last 10 years … would those tumors have been malignant? Well … all I can say is my doctor said she would not say one way or the other BUT she went on to say “Do not ever stop using it”! That was enough for me.
fibrocystic breasts
During the last year I have rubbed Balanced Woman directly on the areas of the tumors and with each test through out the year the tumors were smaller at each visit. Last month I finished my series of having a diagnostic mammogram and ultra sound every 90 days in 2007. My last test gave me a clean bill of health and the tumors were TOTALLY GONE!!!
cancer
NO woman should take chances with their health. If you are one of those women that say “I don’t have any hormonal issues”, then you should use Balanced Woman as a preventative for future health problems. You NEVER know what the future will bring.

Balanced Woman OfferHi Ladies,My name is Jackie Marlin. I am Media Specialist Pure Health Trends Network. I’ve also had a lot of hands on experience with product formulations. This particular product, Pure Health Trends Balanced Women is dear to my heart and I wanted to share my experiences with you.

pure health trends network

I was first introduced to nutritional supplements over a decade ago through network marketing. At first I had a very negative opinion of the industry. I felt that the only reason I was hearing so many fabulous testimonials was for one simple reason … MONEY. In other words the person telling the story about how great the product worked was only motivated by money and not really by results.

Jackie Marlin

You have all heard the stories….. I had arthritis so bad … I couldn’t walk and after drinking the miracle juice for just 3 days … I could run…. I was blind but now I can see. These kind of stories went on and on. This was very offensive to me. I wanted to help others, not fill them full of false hope all for the sake of making a dollar.

Jackie Marlin

Then in 1996 things begin to change. I was given an audio tape by the chief of surgery at one of the largest hospitals in Indianapolis Indiana. The audio tape was of a live seminar given by Dr. John R. Lee. The information on this tape was short of a miracle for women. The chief of surgery said, “Jackie, IF you can find this formula, I will endorse it.” Our product development team went to work and within one month we had found the source to private label the progesterone formula made to the specifications of Dr. John R. Lee. Introducing Balanced Woman.

Jackie Marlin

I was only 42 at the time … and I suffered with severe cramps so bad I had to take prescription pain medication. Then I would be in bed for two days. Not only that I had severe PMS and horrible mood swings. After using the Balanced Woman formula for one month…. I NEVER took another prescription pain pill and the PMS and mood swings were totally GONE!!! Can you believe that? Now I had the type of testimonial that used to be offensive to me! But there is still more.

Jackie Marlin

I was so impressed with the results I was receiving I wanted to share it with women all over America. From 1996-1998 we hosted live health seminars on Balanced Woman throughout the state of California with Dr. John R. Lee as our guest speaker. Later we produced Balanced Woman TV Infomercials so we could reach women everywhere. The information and knowledge Dr. Lee shared with our audience was unbelievable. Dr. Lee died several years go but still, to this day, women depend on his books and information to help them balance their hormones and their struggles with menopause.

I am 54 now and have been using the Balanced Woman formula for 12 years … I have gone through menopause without ONE…. hot flash … night sweat or mood swing all thanks to the Pure Health Trends Network Balanced Woman. Plus ladies your husband’s will LOVE it … Balanced Woman saves your libido…. no loss of sex drive.

Jackie Marlin

We have many faithful Pure Health Trends Network customers using the Balanced Woman formula for over 12 years … for me that says it all .. IT WORKS!

Are you or is anyone you know suffering from female infertility? Natural Progesterone Cream just may be the answer to your prayers. One of the amazing results some women have experienced with Natural Progesterone cream is the ability to get pregnant when nothing else seemed to help!

ss

In a phone interview with Jackie Marlin today, I was personally amazed to learn that natural progesterone is being used as an alternative to prescription drugs and surgery for infertility issues. I’ve been using natural progesterone myself for years just for the benefits I receive for PMS and hopefully I’ll age a lot more gracefully. But I had no idea it could possibly help with fertility.

ss

Jackie Marlin is a Media Specialist for Pure Health Trends Network. I have broken our telephone conversation down to a story that she tells, which you can read below. My hope for you is this: IF you are reading this because you or someone you know is trying to conceive but has been unsuccessful, please read this with an open mind.

ss

Jackie Marlin’s Story with Progesterone Cream

I’ve always felt sadness as I hear stories about otherwise happy couples that could not conceive a child. The harder they tried the more frustration they experienced.

ss

It was not until my own daughter-in-law had trouble getting pregnant that it really hit home. At the time they were living out of state, so every month around the same time the phone lines would get hot. Not only was I phoning her, so was my daughter, my sisters, her sister and Mom.

ss

Month after month the answer was, “No, not this month”. After several months, our deep compassion turned to worry.

I made a vow, when both my children got married I would not be a meddling mother in law. But, the time had come that I was going to step forward and offer a safe, effective and natural solution. Would it work? I was certain it would but one thing for sure IF it didn’t it wasn’t going to hurt anything.

ss

I felt certain the Balanced Woman would work because we had already received several testimonials from customers that had trouble getting pregnant. The Balanced Woman was their miracle!

ss

To make a long story short, my daughter-in-law agreed to give it a try. I sent her a tube right away. After using Balanced Woman for just two months, we received the news we had all been so anxiously awaiting. I was going to be grandma again for the 5th time! My daughter already has 4 angels (well really monsters on occasion).

ss

I now have a beautiful new 5-month-old granddaughter thanks to the help of Pure Health Trends Balanced Woman. [end of Jackie’s story]

ss

The idea behind this gave me cold chills as I remember the sadness I felt when my cousin and her hubby tried for years to conceive. Thousands and thousands and THOUSANDS of dollars later she did finally have a beautiful baby boy.

ss

Now I’m sort of a research buff. I am in no way cynical to what I hear, but I like to see supporting documentation on things. I’m a nutrition fanatic at heart so this really hit home with me. Here’s just a little of my findings:

ss

Jerome Check, M.D., an infertility specialist and professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Thomas Jefferson University and Hahnemann University, says that “too often physicians will treat the infertility problem with strong medication or even surgery without checking progesterone levels first…But for many women, progesterone therapy has been very effective in helping them to become pregnant and to carry the child to term. Only after this treatment is tried should more drastic procedures be considered.”

ss

An adequate amount of progesterone is crucial to a woman who is trying to become pregnant. It actually prepares the uterine wall for implantation of the fertilized egg. Without sufficient progesterone, the egg will be expelled. Progesterone treatment can also be used to induce fertility when there appears to be ovulatory dysfunction. A study was performed involving fifty women who had lived with infertility for a minimum of one-and-a-half years. Seventy percent of the women conceived within six months while exclusively using progesterone therapy, reports Dr. Check. The Efficacy of Progesterone in Achieving Successful Pregnancy describes this group.

Restless Leg Syndrome? Kick it to the curb

I remember silently wondering if my husband had taken up dancing and just forgot to tell me about it. I’d lie in bed at night, front row and center to the most spectacular mix of foxtrot and tango one can imagine.

ss

It wasn’t until the night I painfully separated his toenail (which was attached to his foot) from my calf, that I realized he wasn’t just a fitful sleeper. There was something wrong. At this time, there wasn’t a mountain of information to be found on Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). I did manage to find a few details through the Internet. At least I was able to put a name to the disorder that was my husband’s sleep.

ss

Meanwhile, as he started hitting mid-life, he became even more active in nutritional supplementation. He’s always been a health and fitness enthusiast, but when he turned 45, he became even more concerned about his cardiovascular system.

ss

He began taking 400 IU’s of Vitamin E for his heart. The benefit I got from that was the dark circles started disappearing from under my eyes. Was it because I was taking Vitamin E? No. It was because as quickly as his RLS started, it stopped.

ss

That was 12 years ago and I can happily say his RLS symptoms have disappeared.

ss

One of the benefits of Pure Health Trends Network’s L-Argimax is that it has 225 IU’s of Vitamin E in each serving. Since my husband drinks L-Argimax twice a day, he’s stopped taking single doses of Vitamin E because he gets plenty in his L-Argimax.

Posted on December 2, 2007 in L-Argimax by Pure HealthNo Comments »

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that prevents the oxidation of lipids. There are 225 I.U’s of Vitamin E (As D-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate) in each tasty serving of L-Argimax. Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin that is stored in the liver, fatty tissues, heart, muscles, testes, uterus, blood, adrenal and pituitary glands.

sss

Since cell membranes are composed of lipids, it effectively prevents the cells’ protective coatings from becoming rancid as a result of the assault of free radicals. Vitamin E also improves oxygen utilization, enhances immune response, plays a role in the prevention of cataracts caused by free radical damage, and may reduce the risk of coronary artery disease since it is important as a vasodilator and an anticoagulant. New evidence suggests that zinc is needed to maintain normal blood concentrations of vitamin E. Unlike other fat-soluble vitamins, E is stored in the body for a relatively short time, much like B and C.

ss

Vitamin E has also been promoted to keep one looking younger by retarding cellular aging due to oxidation and supplying oxygen to the body to give more endurance and relief from fatigue. It is used to prevent miscarriages, works as a diuretic to help lower blood pressure and for prevention of thick scarring externally as well as internally.

ss

Two of the basic functions of Vitamin E are to improve oxygen transport, and protect cells from damage from rancid fats. You will sometimes see it used, in fact, as an additive to other oils to keep them from going rancid. These very important functions account for the fact that vitamin E deficiencies are implicated in a number of health conditions, from the biggies like cardiovascular disease, Parkinson’s, muscular dystrophy and rheumatoid arthritis, to more minor problems like leg cramps, and fibrocystic breast disease.

ss

Other health conditions that have been linked to vitamin E deficiencies are: gallstones, anemia, some cancers, acne, Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cataracts and viral infections. There is also evidence to suggest that pre-eclampsia of pregnancy is linked to Vitamin E deficiency, and can be helped by raising levels of E. Some of the wonderful things vitamin E appears to do for us: protect the lungs against pollutants, increase energy, fight aging by protecting the cells, prevent scar formation, help ensure a healthy pregnancy, and accelerate the healing of burns. No wonder health professionals, to include most medical Doctors, have taken vitamin E for years; it has no known adverse effects and many, many benefits.

ss

Vitamin E has been shown to play a role in immune function, in DNA repair, and other metabolic processes. [read abstract]

The synergistic blend of ingredients in Pure Health Trends Network’s L-Argimax helps support your body’s balance and good health. This is important in all nutritional supplements.

sss

Betaine, which is found in L-Argimax is a nutrient that plays an important role in the health of the cardiovascular system. Studies have suggested that betaine, along with other nutrients, helps to reduce potentially toxic levels of homocysteine (Hcy), a naturally occurring amino acid that can be harmful to blood vessels thereby contributing to the development of heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease (reduced blood flow to the legs and feet).

sss
Betaine functions closely with other nutrients — namely, S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), folic acid, and vitamins B6 and B12 — to break down Hcy and reduce toxic levels of this substance in the bloodstream. When betaine, or any of these related nutrients, becomes low in the body, Hcy levels may rise. Some people have a genetic condition called “homocystinuria,” in which Hcy levels accumulate in the body. Betaine supplements are used to lower levels of Hcy in people with this inherited health condition.

sss
Heart Disease and Stroke: Betaine may contribute to the lowering of Hcy, a substance recognized as a significant risk factor for atherosclerosis and blood clots in the walls of blood vessels, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke. The American Heart Association does not currently recommend population-wide Hcy screening, and suggests that obtaining appropriate amounts of betaine, as well as folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12, be met through diet alone. Individuals at high risk for developing heart disease, however, may be screened for blood levels of homocysteine. If elevated levels are detected, a healthcare practitioner may recommend supplementation in addition to dietary changes.

ccc

Liver Disease: tudies with rats have suggested that betaine may help protect against fatty deposits in the liver, which can occur from chronic alcohol use, protein malnutrition, obesity, poorly controlled diabetes, and other causes. A few studies on people have also been conducted. In one preliminary study, 10 people with fatty liver disease from causes other than alcohol received betaine for up to one year. All of the participants had improvement in liver function tests and a reduced amount of fat and other changes in the liver itself. In another larger, better-designed study that took place in Italy, nearly 200 patients received either betaine, in combination with two other substances, or a placebo. Those who received the betaine combination supplement had improved liver function, reduced fat in the liver, and diminished abdominal pain. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and to see whether it is the betaine that is specifically responsible for the benefit to the liver.

sss
Hypochlorhydria (abnormally low levels of stomach acid). Betaine is also used to increase the concentration of acids in the stomach.

sss
Betaine is now a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) ingredient in the USA in selected applications. Betaine has been used in human and animal nutrition for over 70 years as a methyl donor and osmolyte. It is now a GRAS ingredient (Generally Recognized As Safe) in the USA in selected applications supported by clinical and safety studies.
sss
Betaine protects against dehydration and other types of stress, and may even improve athletic performance. “The unique properties of betaine have stimulated clinical research around the world”, stated Dr. Stuart Craig, Scientific and Regulatory Affairs, Danisco. For example, recent work shows that a diet rich in betaine may reduce cardiovascular disease risk in healthy adults.
sss
Betaine supplementation lowers plasma homocysteine in healthy men and women. Elevated levels of plasma total homocysteine are associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Betaine and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate can remethylate homocysteine into methionine via independent reactions. [read abstract]
