The Menopause Thyroid Solution” is Mary Shomon’s most recent Harper Collins publication. Here are Mary’s own words about the book:

In order to reach out to two different audiences, I penned it.

Menopause symptoms such as water retention, fatigue, moodiness, irregular periods, sleep issues, or rather loss of sex drive may be mistaken for hypothyroidism, a slowing down of the thyroid gland or “thyropause” in medical parlance, in women in there own 40s and 50s.

Patients in their 40s & older who have perimenopausal or menopausal hormonal imbalances, along with reproductive hormones and stress hormones, that may be destabilising their thyroid and resulting in new array of health concerns. This is the second group.

Those in his\her 40s and older have an increased risk of continuing to develop thyroid issues than younger women. The problem is that many of women never even suspect they have a thyroid problem, let alone go through the process of getting tested and evaluated. Alternative treatments include oestrogen and progesterone hormone injections (“HRT”); antidepressants; sleeping pills; or soy supplements,”all of this can miss the real problem completely, or even make symptoms worse!”.

It’s not uncommon for thyroid-afflicted women to be unaware that hormonal shifts in oestrogen and progesterone along with an increase in feelings of tension can make it difficult to maintain a healthy thyroid condition.

When it comes to thyroid issues during menopause, “The Menopause Thyroid Solution” aims to help women identify and treat their hormonal issues in a way that is safe and effective.

For women who are interested in learning more about thyroid assessment and treatment as well as the benefits and drawbacks of traditional, real and bioidentical somatostatin treatments for oestrogen (progesterone), testosterone, DHEA (pregnenolone), and cortisol imbalances, this book is an excellent resource. Women over the age of 40 who are having difficulty regulating their hormones can benefit from a variety of complementary and alternative treatment options, including effective exercise, mental approaches, and nutritional supplements.

Moret is an independent scientist and expert in the field of depleted uranium.

The International Criminal Tribunal in Afghanistan in Tokyo in 2003 heard testimony from Leuren Moret, an expert witness. She’s a radiation & public health expert who works for herself as a freelancer and consults across the world. On the World Committee of Radiation Risk’s organisational committee are members of the European Parliament’s Radiation Committee, the European Committee of Radiation Risk, as well as other independent radiation specialists.

As just an Environmental Commissioner again for City of Berkeley, she served for eight years In 1968, Ms. Moret received a B.S. in Geology from the University of California, Davis, and an M.A. on Near Eastern Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. For her PhD as in Geosciences at the University of California, Davis, she has finished all of the coursework except for her dissertation. She has been to 42 countries and conducted scientific study there.

Depleted uranium was the subject of a scientific study she produced for a United Nations subcommittee probing the illegality of DUMs. As a former Manhattan Project scientist & retired insider at the Livermore Lab, she received radiation training from Marion Fulk, an expert on radioactive rainout and fallout.

Leuren Moret has studied the effects of air testing, nuclear power plants, & depleted uranium just on health of the environment and worldwide public health. As a result of her efforts, the state of Louisiana (in the United States) passed the first state depleted uranium testing bill, and more than 57 similar bills have been introduced in other states. She also helped collect & measure radiation through 6000 baby teeth from children living near nuclear power plants. The articles she authored about DU were translated to Indian languages in order to spread the word about the university. The Russian government requested a translation of her piece “Depleted Uranium: The Trojan Horse of Nuclear War” from the June 2004 issue of the WORLD AFFAIRS JOURNAL for dissemination across the Russian government.

As part of US Congressman McDermott’s 2005 depleted uranium bill HR 2410, the very first DU measure to pass the US Congress in October 2006, the LONE STAR ICONOCLAST, President Bush’s hometown newspaper, featured her for a series of interviews on “What is depleted uranium?” DU Will Travel” was the title of the newspaper’s second issue, which came out on March 1, 2006. Seven Canadian sister cities adopted a Space Preservation Treaty Resolution, which, along with a Berkeley resolution from 2003 banning weapons in space, influenced Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin to renounce his secret agreement to President Bush to allow NMD in Canada in February of that year. On the a Vancouver radio station on April 2005, she highlighted her research on the disengagement of pension funds united States weapons makers. The interview aided in the inclusion of divestiture of $4.6 billion (in 251 U.S. weapons firms) in the May 2005 election platform in British Columbia. An environmental commissioner in the city of Berkeley and a depleted uranium specialist who testified in the documentary films BEYOND TREASON, BAGHDAD RAP, & BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND are just few of Leuren Moret’s notable accomplishments.

Tun Dr. Mahathir, Malaysia’s former Prime Minister, requested her to appear there at International War Crimes Tribunal at Kuala Lumpur in February 2007. A doctor, he is first world leader to officially acknowledge that depleted uranium pollution in the atmosphere is the most critical issue facing our planet today. His official Diplomatic Representative went on a speaking tour of Southeast Asia, warning of the contamination in Iraq and Afghanistan, now synchronised with both the monsoon cycle for maximum dispersion of radioactive materials on India, Central Asia, the Middle East, and SE Asia as a result of US bombing strikes in Iraq and Afghanistan. The following year, she made a brief visit to Hawaii before returning to the US, where she helped local residents form a citizen-led Geiger counter movement to monitor the state’s depleted uranium-contaminated bombing and gunnery ranges. Since then, there has been a worldwide movement to ban the possession of Geiger counters and other air monitoring equipment by civilians, and the New York City Police Commissioner is pushing for legislation to that effect. As a result of what happened on September 11, 2001, New York City has still been polluted with radioactivity. The Uranium Mining issue, that is currently in crisis mode due to a slew of new projects set to pollute the planet’s air, water, land, and food, is one of her current focus areas.

“The federal government went stark, raving mad,” said Dave Meserve, who served as either a city council member in Arcata, California, from 2002 to 2006. The only way to safeguard our civil freedoms, uphold the Constitution, and create a thriving society is to unite at the local level.

For his part, he helped to pass an ordinance in Arcata, Oregon, prohibiting city personnel and police from assisting with federal agents in executing the USA PATRIOT Act’s unlawful provisions.

Aside from calling for Bush and Cheney’s impeachment, he also voted in favour of ending the Iraq invasion and occupation in his capacity as a city council member. Locally, he was instrumental in the installation of solar panels on the city hall and in advocating for alternatives to the single-occupant automobile as a mode of transportation.

To combat the many post-9/11 government policies which violate human and legal rights both here at home and abroad, he has underlined the significance of strengthening local resistance.

Dave is a co-chair of a Arcata Nuclear Weapons Free Zone & Peace Committee, a founding member of Redwood Justice and Peace Center, and an associate member of Veterans of Peace Chapter 56.

Voter-approved legislation prohibiting military recruitment of anybody under 18 has been proposed by him.

Home designer & builder Dave is motivated in his politics by his conviction that we can create a world that is both just and sustainable. Those that will inherit the earth they leave for our children, grandkids, and great-grandchildren desire a peaceful and happy future.

About Bridgeenne D’avignon

BridgeAnne D’Avignon was just 12 years old when she discovered that 42 of the 43 Presidents of the United States are related to one common ancestor: King John of England. His signature on the Magna Carta of 1215, that limited the monarch’s authority and paved the way for the establishment of the British Parliament, has made King John a household name. In the Robin Hood legends, John is depicted as a villain.

BridgeAnne’s family tree reveals this link. Her 80-year-old grandfather, who’s been researching for over 60 years, helped much during her months of investigation.

Starting with George Washington’s ancestors, D’Avignon followed both of the men and women lineages to establish the link.

Genealogists are now only able to connect 22 families for presidents prior to d’Avignon’s finding since they were only interested in male lineages. Former President Martin Van Buren, a Dutchman, is the only former head of state who had no connection to King John.

As a bonus, BridgeAnne learned that she shares an 18th cousin with Barack Obama. In fact, she even wrote a letter to her newly discovered relative to tell him about her findings.
