Homeopathy and Men's Health

“Toughen Up!”  “Be a man!”

These words are spoken harshly to boys and adult males all the time.  But, what are the implications from such statements?

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) states, “…In 1920, women lived, on average, one year longer than men. Now, men, on average, die almost six years earlier than women.”  Additionally, the BLS states, “…men die at higher rates than women from the top 10 causes of death and are the victims of over 92% of workplace deaths.”  

How can this be?  Perhaps it has something to do with the ‘macho image’ many males in our culture are supposed to adhere to?  

Even more strikingly, the CDC reports depression in men often goes undiagnosed, contributing to the fact that men are four times as likely to commit suicide.  Among 15 – 19 year olds, boys were 5 x as likely as girls to commit suicide.  Among 20 - 24 year olds, males were 7 x as likely to commit suicide as females.  The suicide rate for persons age 65 and above: men...38.4 – women...6.0.  

These numbers are staggering, and imply men don’t feel comfortable seeking help for their emotional distress and/or physical complaints.  Not only is this detrimental to their own health, but to the health of their family and loved ones as well.
