Psuedo-menopause is premature, false, and reversible
stoppage of menstruation.
Menopause is the permanent cessation of menses when
ovaries stop releasing eggs as an aging process. It
signals the end of the fertile phase of a woman’s
life. The release of eggs triggers the increased
production of hormones that prepare the uterine
lining for pregnancy as well as shedding when
conception does not occur. Menopause usually occurs
during a woman’s late 40s or early 50s. It is
commonly associated with symptoms of night sweats,
hot flushes, mood swings, a sense of ill being, and
sometimes significantly disrupts daily life and
activities.
In the early 1990s, I introduced the term psuedo-menopause
for premature and reversible stoppage of
menstruation. It results from the premature failure
of ovarian functions. I have observed
pseudo-menopause to occur in younger women,
sometimes as young as in mid-twenties. It is always
accompanied by marled to severe symptoms of hot
flushes, mood swings, and a disturbing sense of
being hormonally imbalanced. Many of my patients
with pseudo-menopause also suffer from fatigue,
abdominal bloating, and anxiety.
Pseudo-menopause develops due to hormonal
derangements caused by toxicities of foods,
environment, and thoughts. Its reversal and
restoration of menses calls for a holistic,
integrated plan that detects and effectively
addresses all toxicities present in a given case. I
urge readers to consider my
three-DVD video seminar entitled “Hormones” for
detailed information on these subjects.
When Is Early Menopause, in Reality, Pseudo-menopause
The condition of an early menopause is well known to
doctors. It is associated with many chronic immune
disorders,
chemotherapy, radiation, and the surgical
removal of both ovaries. It is also related to
cigarette smoking, obesity (higher body mass index),
and anxiety-depression states. What is not
recognized by doctors is that an early menopause
under such conditions is often false, premature, and
reversible. This is so because they are not aware of
the possibility of hormonal and menstrual
restoration with robust nutritional and herbal
therapies, bowel and liver detox measures, and
spiritual work.
Failure to recognize and reverse pseudo-menopause,
in my view, is a serious mistake on the part of
doctors. Untreated hormonal derangements that cause
pseudo-menopause also set the stage of many serious
disorders, including memory loss, cardiovascular
disorders, and accelerated aging.
Reversal of Pseudo-menopause
The following are internet links for the major
components of my guidelines for reversing
pseudo-menopause:
●
Castor Oil a Premium Dysox Remedy
●
Dr. Ali’s Peroxide Foot Soaks
●
Dr. Ali's Breakfast
●
Limbic breathing
●
Bowel Detox

The Oxygen Model of Pseudo-menopause
In the 1990s, I also put forth my Oxygen Model of
Pseudo-menopause to explain the scientific basis of
false and reversible cessation of menstruation. In
simple words, this model states that premature and
reversible stoppage of menstruation develops due to
the failure of any of the following oxygen
functions:
·
Oxygen-driven cellular energetics,
·
Oxygen-driven cellular development and
multiplication,
·
Oxygen-driven removal of cellular grease (oxygen’s
detergent functions),
·
Oxygen-activation of the enzyme systems of the body,
·
Oxygen-driven cellular detox mechanisms.
To understand how the impairment of the above oxygen
functions set the stage for pseudo-menopause, we
need to learn about the structure and function of
hormone receptors. Hormone receptors are proteins
with complex and malleable structures, some
traversing the cell membranes multiple times, and
some anchored to cell innards.
The hormone receptors can be viewed as crank-shafts
that are turned by hormone molecules working as
cranks. The turning of those crank-shafts transmits
information to various hormonal pathways which, in
turn, activate specific enzymes, hormone response
elements (pre-genes), and genes. In this context, I
use the term receptor burn-out for a state of
receptor unresponsiveness caused by being
disfigured, twisted, jammed, clogged, or otherwise
rendered dysfunctional. There is an enormous number
of environmental pollutants with strong structural
homology with natural hormones. Some of those
compounds have a greater affinity for hormone
receptors than the hormones themselves. Those
compounds either jam or disarm hormone receptors.
Such endocrine disruptions cause reproductive
dysfunctions in humans and animals on an
unprecedented scale.

Grease and Detergent Model of Disease” for
