"The menopause is not an illness. If you subscribe to the standpoint currently held by the conventional medical profession, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was.
In conventional terms the menopause and its symptoms are viewed as a disorder caused by falling hormone levels. So, by giving menopausal women hormones in the form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the deficiency can be corrected and we have a 'cure'. This argument is supported by the supposed similarity between the menopause and diabetes. When insulin levels are insufficient to maintain normal blood glucose levels, then insulin is supplied from outside and the balance is corrected.
"But diabetes is different from the menopause in one important respect: diabetes is not a natural event. It is not expected that everyone will get diabetes; but all women will pass through the menopause. It is a natural stage in our lives and there is a wealth of scientific evidence that there are alternatives to HRT.
"Women in many other cultures do not experience the menopause as a crisis demanding medical intervention. Many of them simply do not suffer the physical and emotional symptoms that women in the West are programmed to accept as inevitable. In our society the focus of the menopause is one of loss. Women are programmed to dwell on loss – the loss of periods, the loss of the ability to create life, the loss of hormones, the problems of the 'empty-nest' syndrome. In other societies, this time in a woman's life is seen as one of gain, a time of great wisdom. A time when the emphasis shifts away from doing the chores, working in the fields, to the role of lawmaker and counsellor to younger couples, where maturity and experience make a significant and valuable contribution to the family and society.

Does all this really make a difference?
When you take vitamins, minerals, and herbs, you aim to give your body the tools to heal itself and maintain good health.
Unfortunately, many supplements nowadays contain unnecessary and potentially harmful substances, making your body work harder to eliminate them.
You may not realise that they can be full of ‘nasties’ - non-active ingredients - like, fillers, bulking and anti-caking agents, disintegrants and lubricants.
These chemicals are in there to help the manufacturing process flow through the machines.
Good for the machines maybe but certainly not good for your body.
If your body expends energy dealing with these substances, it may divert energy from other areas essential for maintaining or restoring good health, potentially causing additional health problems and low energy.
It's crucial that the vitamins, minerals, and herbs you consume contain only the highest quality ingredients possible and are Free From all nasties.
Not all supplements are made equal, and knowing what to look for is important.
Sounds daunting doesn’t it?
But don’t worry because, if you don’t have the time or inclination, (or a degree in chemistry), to go round reading labels on every pot of vitamins or minerals, Dr Glenville has already done the work and scrutinised the labels for you.
And only when she is completely satisfied that the products are Free From all the ‘nasties’ and in their most bio-available form and at the highest safe dosage level will she award it her ‘Seal of Approval’.’.
You can rest assured that all NHP supplements have Dr Glenville’s exclusive ‘Seal of Approval’ and are safe, effective and healthy for you.
