Menopause
Supporting and Nourishing the Change

Most treatments for menopausal women, whether natural or more allopathic, focus on replacing the estrogen or progesterone that is lost. However, simply replacing estrogen is actually trying to create a younger woman out of a woman who is older and has other things to do and be and accomplish!

For the younger woman, the focus is on reproduction, on children, on home. For women who are pen or post-menopausal, the focus is much more universal, earth-oriented. The focus on estrogen is a focus on reproduction. The transition into menopause requires that, not only the adrenals, but all the other glands in the endocrine system create a different mix for the post-menopausal woman.

What happens with the Amazon Rainforest Bio-Energetics, particularly SumacazonTM is that these nutritional herbs work by nourishing the whole endocrine system, not by replacing estrogen. This allows for a more natural, healthy transition away from a focus on estrogen to a more diverse endocrine balance that is the natural state of a menopausal woman.

Interestingly enough, this more holistic endocrine balance actually creates a more holistic vision. Many societies talk about and honor the older woman. This is because the older woman, who is healthy, has a completely different endocrine balance, a different hormone balance, than the healthy woman in her reproductive years.

Have you noticed that most of the female leaders of the world have been postmenopausal? Susun Weed, an herbalist, speaks about healthy post-menopausal women as being able to help our planet. Now, when we have more women going into menopause than ever before, it is very important for women to understand and accomplish this transition naturally.

SumacazonTM because it tunes the whole endocrine system**, is an herbal blend whose time has come. 
Sumacazon Formula :*
Our endocrine system includes our adrenals, thyroid, hypothalamus, testes (men), ovaries (women). This system is largely responsible for producin9 hormones we need. As we age, many of our body's systems may become less efficient than they were when we were younger. The remarkable properties of the four herbs in this product have long been revered by the people of Brazil and Peru. They include:

Suma - is classified as an adaptogen for facilitating hormonal balance and helping the body adjust to stress.**

Maca - grows high in the Andes in mineral rich soil. It is loaded with nutrients including: Vitamins B-1, 2, 12, C & E; the minerals calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc and magnesium; complex carbohydrates, amino acids and a number of natural steroidal glycosides. It is traditionally used to facilitate energy, mental clarity, libido and muscle tone. **

Muira Puama - is a Brazilian shrub that has historically been used as a tonic for the nervous system and to nutritionally support organs involved in healthy sexual function.**

Stevia - Is a member of the Chrysanthemum family. Stevia is totally safe and grows wild in South America. For centuries, people in Paraguay and Brazil have used the leaf to sweeten beverages and as an ingredient in medicinal herbal teas. Unlike sugar, it does not trigger a rise in blood sugar and does not feed yeast or other microorganisms. Stevia is said to increase energy, facilitate digestion and gastrointestinal functions, regulate blood glucose levels, and nourish the liver, pancreas and spleen.**

"Whether you're an athlete seeking more energy, stamina and endurance, someone working long hours in a stressful and high pressure vocation or simply a person who seeks to perform their daily tasks with optimum efficiency; Sumacazon is for you."
- Phil Steinberg, Nutritionist

*Sumacazon should not be thought of as solely or primarily a blend for older women. Men and young people of both sexes can certainly benefit from a more balanced endocrine system. It is just that this article was written by post-menopausal women who directly appreciate what this formula has added to their lives.
