3′s Company was a Show.

I’ve seen Suzanne Somors going around doing the circuit promoting her post menopause experience, and as the owner of a wellness blog, I can 100% get behind that. However, what we must ALL do is to express that these are OUR opinions, OUR experiences, and based on results of years and attempts of trial and error. Every person has their own unique relationships with thier medical professionals, and I for one, think that before you take the advice of anyone who is NOT a medical professional when it comes to an important health.

When I hear Suzanne Somors going on all these talk shows speaking about how she chose natural alternatives to deal with her issues, I think that is fantastic. She is knowledgeable and aware of her unique situation, and has professional guidance, and I am totally assuming that she has done vast amounts of research on her particular situation.

What bothers me is that someone who is NOT that knowledgeable will watch her guest show appearances and chose not to do the research and just decide to not go holistic, but also not take the advice of her doctor. I speak of personal experience, namely from my mom.

When she went through menopause, she had heard all the hype about how synthetic hormones cause cancers, and so she opted to not take anything. Nothing holistic, no guidance, no nothing. As a result she now has osteoporosis and has taken the time to tell me that she wished she had taken the synthetic hormones, because she doesn’t wish osteoporosis on anyone. She has even gone as far as to ask me to go ahead and listen to my doctors when it’s my time to go through the change.

I know that medical wellness is a self responsibility as well as a responsibility of anyone who publically gives out advice, reviews and has a public presence. Sure we have the right to express our own opinions, experiences and thoughts…but I also think that it’s very important to state that you are merely expressing your opinios, experiences and thoughts – and not in small type either.

And with that said, I truly hope that anyone who is going through, or has a loved one going through the decision on which way to address the great ‘change of life’ would do so with a team of help. Whether it be with the help of western medicine, eastern medicine, holistic or synthetic help, or a fusion of all of the above-PLEASE take the time to do your own research, educate and be aware of all the different possibilities, consequences and risks that are involved with all of the different options that you have.

And please remember, Suzanne Somors was on Three’s Company, which was a show on TV. Be well, xoxo sylviaG
