Menopause & perimenopause

 

'I sometimes feel sorry for estrogen. It gets a bad rap for so many things. Women hear that too much estrogen causes breast disease (my specialty), and too little causes everything from hot flashes to hair loss in menopause. I also hear from many women with concerns about “estrogen dominance” — a state of high estrogen levels blamed for a wide range of distressing symptoms as well as fibroids, endometriosis, hypothyroidism and breast cancer, too. 

While excessive estrogen can lead to problems, it’s a little more complicated than simply “too much estrogen.” To manage all your symptoms, it’s important to understand how your individual estrogen levels are related to your other hormones — particularly progesterone and testosterone'

Confirmed: Flaxseed Contains 'Estrogens' That Regress Cancer

'How does flaxseed work to prevent and/or regress hormone-associated cancers? The surprising answer is it is due to flaxseed's distinctively hormonal and/or hormone-modulating activity. Flaxseed contains compounds known as phytoestrogens which have the ability to interact with cellular estrogen receptors. 

Although an increasingly common mantra in the conventional medical community (particularly in the field of oncology) is to identify all estrogens, including phytoestrogens, as "carcinogenic," the weight of the evidence stands against this accusation, both in the case of soy and flaxseed. 

Our indexing project, for instance, has identified 36 studies on soy's anti-breast cancer properties. It helps to understand the biochemistry in order to make sense of how a plant estrogen may actually reduce estrogen activity in the body.'

Estrogen Woes (And That Includes You, Mister!)

 

Everybody has estrogen–men, women, boys and girls. And while our estrogen comes in differing amounts, we all need estrogen to behave itself. It can cause problems even when behaving, but when estrogen goes on a tear, chaos and turmoil ensue.

And nowadays, estrogen comes at us from every side. So, let’s talk.

The Natural Solution For Menopause and PMS

 

'In North America, there are an estimated 40-60 million menopausal women and some 30-40 million baby boomer women on the brink of menopause.

'Many people associate menopause with mood swings, vaginal dryness, irritability, hot flashes, cramps, insomnia and other dreary symptoms. With even more baby boomer women entering the menopausal years during the next decade, new attitudes about menopause are transforming the way people view this pivotal time in a woman’s life.

It seems that many in the allopathic medical profession have treated menopause as a disease and the risks have been known, but downplayed by the Medical profession and in fact they have encouraged women to take the HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) for being attractive, halting the aging process and it would increase bone density.'

The hormone threat to your health

 


 



By Dr.Al Sears


'There are lots of ways that too much estrogen in your system can make you sick. It can cause heart disease and five different kinds of cancer. And it can make you fat, impotent, depressed, and tired. Too much estrogen is also the biggest undiagnosed cause of prostate disease in men. 

And here’s something else about the estrogen we’re putting in our food that’s very disturbing. Little girls are getting sexually mature features at younger and younger ages.'
