Breast Cancer - Estrogen Dominance & The Imbalance Of Hormones

Even a woman with low estrogen levels can have estrogen dominance symptoms if she doesn't have any progesterone.

How do we become estrogen dominant? Our food chain is laced with toxic pesticides, herbicides and growth hormones - a sea of endocrine-disrupting chemicals that mimic estrogen in the body. A saliva test evaluation will either move a man or woman to take action to bring balance to their own hormones or cause them to sit back and reflect on their good hormone health. D. The theory of Estrogen Dominance describes a condition where a woman can have deficient, normal or excessive estrogen but has little or no progesterone to balance its effects in the body. Then there is estrogen found in ERT, HRT and Birth Control Pills.

Out of balance hormones can affect women from 14 to 94. Those over 50 can take an annual saliva test to keep track of their hormone levels. An imbalance of hormones in our bodies results in hormone-related health problems such as PMS, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, infertility, post-partum depression, weight gain, increased blood clotting, thyroid dysfunction, even breast and uterine cancer in women and in men breast cancer, prostate problems and prostate cancer. Estrogen dominance also occurs in men.

Men and women who experience hormone imbalance feel unwell - bringing balance to their hormones is often a key to their wellness. Estrogen Dominance can be detected by taking a saliva test. If we are overweight, our body's store of excess fat can be converted into estrogen. We often find men of fifty having higher saliva estrogen levels than women of fifty! A sign of estrogen dominance in men is the tendency for some to develop breasts. Women and men must become more informed about their own hormone health.

Lee, M. Estrogen Dominance is a term coined by the late John R. Insulin resistance also leads to estrogen dominance. Basically estrogen dominance reflects hormones that have gone out of balance. There are safe natural alternatives available to drug therapies.

As men age, estrogen gradually rises, while saliva levels of progesterone and testosterone gradually fall. Men can also take this simple at-home test to determine if their hormones are out of balance. This simple test can accurately reveal hormone levels. , author of a number of books on the topic of women's hormones.

Antiperspirants And Breast Cancer

The human body has a number of areas, that it uses to purge Toxins from the body, these are, behind the knees, behind the ears, the groin area, and the armpits.

These Toxin do not just disappear, Instead, the body deposits them in the Lymph Nodes below the arms, since it is unable to sweat them out. You can make up your own mind on whether there is someting in this article or not, I know that if I was a lady, I would keep clear of Antiperspirants. The best solution is to use deodorants, rather than antiperspirants, also please remember that the Eight Essential Sugars in Glyconutrients can also help to fight off Toxins. It cannot be ignored, that nearly all Breast Cancer Tumors occur in the upper outer quadrant of the breast area, this is where the Lymph Nodes are located.

The toxins are purged from the body in the form of perspiration and antiperspirant as the name clearly suggests prevents you from perspiring, thereby inhibiting the body from purging Toxins from the armpit area. This article is aimed mainly at ladies, but please be aware that there are a few antiperspirants on the market that are made from natural products, but basically they would still trap the Toxins in the same areas. Research shows that one of the leading causes of Breast Cancer could be the use of antiperspirants. Most underarm antiperspirants contain as the active ingredient, Aluminium Chlorohydrate, as you will probably remember there has been controversy about Aluminium, since the 1950's when it was a popular metal used for making cooking pots, Saucepans and Fry Pans and that it could be one of the contributing factors to Alzheimer's, now we have another problem that could also be related to Aluminium, Breast Cancer. I realise that Doctors everywhere, do a marvelous job, and they are appreciated, but they are reluctant to look at the bigger picture, also please remember that the fourth largest killer of people in the western world is prescription drugs.

Men are less likely (but not totally exempt) to develop breast cancer prompted by the use of antiperspirants, because the antiperspirant is more likely to be caught in the armpit hair, rather than directly applied to the skin, but ladies, who shave their armpits, increase the risk by causing imperceptable nicks in the skin, which allow the chemicals to enter easily into the body through the armpits. A concentration of Toxins then builds up in the areas such as the armpits, which can then lead to cell mutations, which is cancer. There is a lot of controversy about this article, the medical profession scoff at the idea, and so do big business, but then again there are huge numbers of people that scoff at the problems associated with Fluoride in drinking water.
