Tori Hudson is an American Naturopath who writes extensively on women's health. She has a very informative blog that focuses on recent research involving women's health and natural medicine. Here are some recent highlights from her blog:
A 2013 study found that women who consumed the most sugar sweetened beverages had a 78% higher risk of developing estrogen dependent endometrial cancer than women who consumed the least.
Another 2013 study involving women with fibroids found that green tea extract (the women in the study who were in the non placebo group took 2 caps daily for 4 months ) significantly reduced the volume/size of the fibroids, the volume of flow with the period, and the symptoms associated with the fibroids.
A 2013 case report evaluation of 4 women with fibromyalgia found that when dosed with CoQ10 (100 mg 3 times per day for 9 months), there was a statistically significant improvement for each of the women in their pain, fatigue, sleep, and the tenderness of the fibromyalgia diagnostic points.
A 2012 study looked at women with a chronic and unexplained cough and low ferritin (iron) levels (ferritin below 15). The 22 non smoking women with normal lung function tests were initially treated with 2 months of anti-histamines and proton pump inhibitors. After there was no change in their cough with these treatments, they were treated with daily iron supplementation (330-660 mg of iron sulphate tablets per day) for 2 months and the cough improved dramatically in each of the women.
