For many years, most medical and health-related research was done on men, and it was
assumed that women have the same health problems and needs. We now realize that this is
not true. The symptoms and progression of diseases differ between men and women. Men and
women have unique needs due to their unique physiology, and each may benefit from
different health strategies.
When things go wrong
Both men and women have special considerations. For women, these include fertility,
pregnancy, birthing, menstrual concerns, menopause, fibroids, endometriosis, breast
cancer, urinary tract infections, osteoporosis, and anemia. For men, prostate concerns
(urinary dysfunction, infection, cancer), impotence, and fertility (sperm count, sperm
motility) are a worry.
Why things go wrong
Although men and women have different concerns, the risk factors are often similar. A
poor diet, toxins, stress, and alcohol consumption affect both men and women negatively.
Women should have special concern with hormone replacement therapy.
To maintain men’s and women’s health
Both men and women should live the Healthy Cell Concept™. Women have special needs
for the minerals iron and calcium; folic acid; the vitamins B6, B12, and E; soy-based
foods; and cranberry supplements. There are also many herbs of special interest to women.
These include black cohosh, wild yam, and dong quai. Men should look to supplements such
as pollen extracts, zinc, and ginkgo biloba.
