For You or the Women
In Your Life:
HOW HEALTHY
ARE
YOUR HORMONES?
|
|
Women's
hormones are incredibly powerful. They can
drop a woman's mood, fuel her motivation,
dry up her bones or her sex life. They can
even unbalance a corporation. No, I'm not
referring to that old way of oppressing
women using hormones as an excuse. I'm
referring to the fact that when women
decided to do something different about
their hormone balance, Wyeth Australia's
sales plummeted
a whopping
30%
in
one day!
So, what do
women need to be doing about our
hormones? In short,
we need to
participate in creating our own
true and truly
safe hormone balance.
This is so crucial because real
hormone balance and real health
go hand in glove.
But how can
we take
charge of our own glandular,
biochemical and environmental
uniqueness if we don't know what's
going on? To
take control of our own bodies, we need
to be able to assess them,
so we can find out whether any various
symptoms we might have are indicating
that our hormonal systems are out of
balance and might need some
help.
In researching
what symptoms might have their roots in
female hormones, I came up with a
whopping two hundred and nine!
Why is this number so huge? Because
female hormones are at the very core of
how everything - our bodies, minds,
spirits, emotions - work and integrate
together. So if they don't work, other
systems don't either.

YOUR MENTAL ATTITUDE SHAPES YOUR
RELATIONSHIPS
How You
Think About Yourself and Others Has
Everything To Do With How You Get
Along

Because each
of us is unique, each of us is
different, and that can be a source
of tension and conflict between
people in any kind of relationship
- intimate, work, ethnic,
national.
If you want to minimize fighting,
relationship ruptures, tension and
trauma in your relationships and
get along with others, checking out
your mental attitude is a great
place to start. That's because it
can make a major difference in
reducing, even eliminating painful
disputes and disruptions.
So, before you start to develop a
problem in a relationship, check to
see what fundamental attitude you
hold about your own humanity and
that of
others.

For
You or the Men In Your
Life:
DO
YOU HAVE THIS
DANGEROUS HORMONE
CONDITION?
Everybody knows
it's normal for women to
develop breasts, but
increasingly men and even
boys are developing breasts.
This condition, called
"gynecomastia", or
enlargement of the male
breast, occurs in about half
the male population of North
America at some stage of
their lives, giving rise to a
variety of questions:
1. "Is this normal?"
The short
answer is, no, not for men.
Rather, it is the outcome of
imbalances or
toxicity.
2.
"What's going
on?" Breast growth
(different from merely fatty
breasts) in both men, and women is
mediated by estrogen. Men grow
breasts when estrogen levels get
too high in relation to androgens
(male sex hormones) "feminization"
occurs.
The
normal, balanced ratio of
testosterone to estradiol (the form
of estrogen that's active in this
situation) is approximately 100
units of testosterone to only 1 of
estradiol. In the blood plasma, the
normal ratio is around 300 units of
testosterone to 1 of
estradiol.
Breast
development in men is an the
end result of an imbalance
between these two hormones:
too much estrogen and too
little testosterone, a
condition the late John Lee,
M.D., labeled estrogen
dominance, and which some
medical literature refers to
as" hyperestrinism" (meaning
too much
estrogen).
3.
"Is it
dangerous?"
This is a
benign rather than malignant breast
condition. It's not dangerous in
itself, but it is a
precondition: an early warning sign
that there's trouble
ahead.
One of the trouble is because the
estrogen creates a rich growing
environment for bugs - viruses,
yeasts, bacteria, parasites, fungi,
etc.
Another is that
an estrogen-rich environment
increases blood clotting
which can lead to heart
attacks, pulmonary emboli and
strokes.
4. "Is it
reversible?" Yes. Breast
changes will gradually resolve,
provided they're are
not too far advanced. So the time
to act is
now.
5. What to
do?
In short, reduce
estrogen levels and raise
normal androgen (male sex
hormone or testosterone)
levels. To do that, start
with cleaning your liver and
eliminating things that
create liver
toxicity.
