Forbidden Cures and Underground Medicine • 49how effective it could be against one of the deadliest diseases known to man:
pancreatic cancer.
In the lab, a group of scientists studied the impact of key compounds
in the red propolis against extremely hard to kill PANC-1 pancreatic cancer
cells^2. Now this particular type of cancer is known to be resistant to most che-
motherapies, and even thrives when deprived of nutrients. But the PANC-1
cells met their match in red propolis extract, which ‘displayed 100% cytotox-
icity.’ That means it was able to kill off all of the pancreatic cancer cells.
That’s pretty amazing—especially when you consider that HRT, the old gold
standard menopause treatment, is now believed to cause some forms of cancer.
Five synergistic ingredients heighten
EaseFemin’s effectiveness
While Brazilian red propolis is the star ingredient of EaseFemin, the
formula also contains a carefully selected set of nutrients and a proprietary
‘calming herbal blend.’ Each of these ingredients was specifically chosen for its
synergistic effect with the red propolis, and for its proven capabilities in easing
menopause symptoms.
Because menopause is often associated with loss of bone density, EaseFe-
min includes calcium and high potency vitamin D to support bone health.
And while calcium is known primarily as a bone builder, it handles a lot of
other tasks as well. One of those is as a mood soother—and we all know that
mood dips can be caused by the hormonal changes brought on by menopause.
Calcium deficiency plays a proven role in anxiety, depression, nervousness,
and irritability...so a calcium boost can help lighten these darker moods.
The herbal blend contains three herbs well-known for their calming and heal-
ing properties: valerian, chamomile, and passionflower. This soothing trio helps
take the edge off hormone-related mood dips, as well as easing insomnia and pains.
Valerian has a well-earned reputation as a sleep herb, mainly because of its
extraordinary calming powers. It’s a known stress-buster, as well as a natural
antidepressant. And, of course, it helps you fall asleep and sleep better. What
you may not know about valerian is that it’s also been used traditionally to
relieve painful menstruation and cramps—and that could translate into easing
some of the pains associated with menopause.
Chamomile is another well-known calming herb. This medicinal plant has
also been used for centuries to relieve insomnia, primarily because of its sedating
effect on the central nervous system—a trick that also allows the herb to alleviate
anxiety. Chamomile, like valerian, has some lesser known properties that can
help women specifically—it’s been used historically as a tonic for the uterus.
