From the Paper
"When mankind was created, somebody made a mistake. As it stands menopause hits women right about the time that her children enter their late teen years. What a recipe for disaster. Menopause is a process that is either reached naturally, or induced artificially, but sooner or later every woman has to go through it. Menopause impacts different women in different ways. While one woman may have many bothersome symptoms that last for years, another woman may have a few symptoms that last a short while. Menopause is something that marks the end of the childbearing years, but also provides a new phase of life that can be fulfilling and fun."

Abstract
This paper examines how in and after the menopausal years, women have certain special needs, problems and advantages. Their special needs are for more calcium, more exercise and more attention to healthful, balanced living. It discusses how although menopause has special problems such hot flashes, brittle bones and vaginal soreness with intercourse there are also the advantages that the period of life after the menopause is smoother with no more premenstrual tension, hormonal mood swings, pelvic aching, or menstrual problems.
From the Paper
"Reaching menopause naturally the hormonal production in the ovaries slows, women may experience gaps in their menstrual cycle of up to several months. It is impossible to pinpoint the moment when menopause occurs. A period may stop for a while, and then start up again. Smith states, "You are officially menopausal after a full year has passed since your last period" (14). A few statistics about menopause are: "At least 10 percent of women reach menopause abruptly and without obvious symptoms. Many more have a reasonably easy time. Several surveys report that as many as 15 to 25 percent of women reach menopause without any menopause related complaints" (17). For the rest of the women, there are symptoms that are short term and long term, but everyone's experience is likely to be unique."

Abstract
The paper discusses how according to Gaylord, conventional medicine dis-empowers older women but alternative therapies can empower them. The paper explains that the conventional medicine operates in a patriarchal framework and is dominated by the biomedical model. The paper relates that as is typical of a patriarchal system, conventional medicine suppresses, disregards and denigrates other systems of belief.
From the Paper
"The American Medical Association has regularly depicted alternative medicine as manipulating women. The biomedical model is dis-empowering because of its focus on disease instead of on the patient. Since the body is regarded as a machine, the body's ability to heal itself is denied."

Abstract
A study into the causes and symptoms of post-menopausal depression in women. The writer chose the subject because although it is almost an ?accepted fact? that post-menopausal women will suffer from depression, there seems to be little evidence to support the fact. The paper is broken up into a list of reviews of articles on the subject:
Nicol-Smith's "Causality, Menopause and Depression: A Critical Review of the Literature" Elias's "Mind and Menopause", McKeon's "Cruel Myths and Clinical Facts About Menopause", Goldman's "Menopause Alone Won?t Induce New-onset Depression", Hunter's "Depression and the Menopause"
King's "The Meno-pause That Refreshes", Thomas' "Life Stressors, Not Hormonal Changes" and "Menopause ?Emotions? More Precisely Defined"
From the Paper
"Many changes occur in a women at menopause, both physical and emotional, and she has reached a stage in her life when her familial and social roles have also changed. Changes in hormone levels at menopause affect women physically and mentally, and women have to adapt to a new role in society. No longer able to produce children, they must divert their efforts to other rewarding issues to maintain their sense of self-worth. For years, women have been lead to expect certain conditions to affect them at menopause, and it is only now that doctors are starting to look more critically at menopause to find out which of these conditions are truly due to the physical changes taking place at menopause and which are due to sociological changes taking place at the same time."

The paper concludes that acupuncture is positively indicated for treatment of menopause symptoms.
From the Paper
"Acupuncture eases symptoms of menopause. As one of the prevalent non-pharmaceutical methods of managing pain, stress, and other physiological problems, acupuncture has proven itself to be useful in reducing the symptoms of menopause. Acupuncture has been part of Eastern medicine for millennia, but it only relatively recently made an appearance in North America, about thirty years ago. Since then, acupuncture has been demonstrated to have a positive effect on many physical ailments and, in several studies both scientific and anecdotal, it has been shown to trigger an endorphin release that provides an entirely safe, medicine-free method of achieving pain relief. It is the purpose of this story to demonstrate the significance and efficacy of acupuncture as it applies to the treatment of the symptoms of menopause."

Discusses the use of HRT on the unpleasant side-effects of menopause.

Abstract
Menopause is that inevitable and irreversible time when a woman?s reproductive cycle and menstruation periods gradually end, as her ovaries cease to respond to male gonadotropins and her capacity to become pregnant stops. The paper begins by defining menopause and its consequences. It then looks at how Estrogen/Hormone Replacement Therapy (ERT/HRT) can help eliminate, minimize or reverse many menopausal symptoms. Finally, the paper looks at the pros and cons of HRT and discusses what a woman might experience by taking these hormones.
From the Paper
"With the loss of estrogen at menopause, osteoporosis develops, whereby bones lose calcium and become thin and brittle (Hempel 1996), increasing the risk of fractures. Studies show that 120,000 such women fracture their hips every year and about 15% of them will die from complications of hip fracture. The familiar ?Dowager?s hump? occurs in the first 5-10 years after menopause. ERT/HRT checks this condition effectively and reduces hip fractures by 25% and spine fractures by about 50% (Hempel)."

From the Paper
"A number of conceptual assumptions serve as the foundation for this research. One of the key assumptions of the study is that PMS, perimenopause and/or menopause can operate, through the various symptoms associated with each of these conditions, contribute increased psychoemotional and physical stress to the lives of women in general and recovering alcoholic women in particular. A second assumption of the study is that the degree of stress associated with the symptoms of PMS, perimenopause and menopause can be significantly reduced and/or eliminated by certain interventions such as changes in lifestyle, improvement in eating habits and nutrition, exercise, and hormone replacement therapy."
