	I understand that it was Joseph who initiated the search to find alternative therapies to help you get well. Where did he start and how did he assess the therapies he found as legitimate? It was difficult for a Stanford trained physician to admit the ineffectiveness or secondary effects of some conventional medical approaches. But, trying to help someone you love is a great motivator to look beyond your comfort zone. Caution was not thrown to the winds, however. Whatever I considered had to have well-founded scientific reasoning and support. There was far more in peer-reviewed medical journals than I expected. Like most of my peers, I had assumed they weren't there, had overlooked them, or hadn't put the pieces together. We investigated a number of natural medicine companies and quickly realized a handful equaled the standards of major pharmaceutical houses. We stuck with those who could verify the highest standards for purity, dosage, harvesting (in the case of herbs) and manufacturing practices. Mary Ann's improvement encouraged me to suggest such interventions for appropriate patients and when they improved, I was convinced. Improving a person's overall wellness and function brought new excitement and understanding to medicine for me. Menopause & Relationships		Could It Be...Perimenopause?
