Guest guest Posted August 17, 2001 Report Share Posted August 17, 2001 Robin! Please forgive me for my contradictions but the latest research by John R. Lee, M.D. author of the book " What your doctor may not tell you about menopause" points out that estrogen deficiency is not the problem. It is that receptor sites have become less sensitive due to the lack of progesterone and that high estrogen is the cause of breast cancer! It has been stated that he will probably win a pulitzer prize for his work. I personally know two women who have reversed osteoporosis using progesterone cream and a good calcium product with ostivone, one by 25% in one year, and the other by 38% in four years. Please forgive me again Robin but I just took two clients of mine off birth control pills and put them on progesterone cream with an herbal emmenagogue formula because of breast cyst, and in both cases the cyst are subsiding. Being a chronic insomniac and entering my vata portion of life, I sure can sympathize with her. And yes! men go through a hormonal imbalance about the same time. The research on male hormones is not as advanced as females but is still making some head way. The best way to deal with any hormone imbalance is a vata pacifying diet and to stay as close to nature as possible! NO sugar, NO alcohol, NO meat with animal hormones, moderate exercise. and lots of meditation. Small amounts of melatonin can be use "periodically" !! if your careful but that's as far away from natural as you should get. Once again please for give me if i'm stepping on toes here! God be with you my friend ........... Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 Dear Paul, I can't remember now if it was Dr. Lee or some other (who I can't recall now, having given the Video away), but I do remember the impact of learning that oestrogen/progesterone imbalance is common throughout all age groups (not just menopausal women). If I can dig deep into my memory, the message was that certain processed foods as well as "plastic" products produced pseudo estrogens...considering that most foods as well as our milk comes in plastic containers it's a disquietning revelation...being overweight also increases our oestrogen levels...so it's clear that excess oestrogen is a problem effecting all age groups. Concerned people should be lobbying to ban plastic food containers!! My young nephew (in his 20's and overweight most of his life) was diagnosed with cancer...his first symptom was liquid oozing from his nipples...he's since been diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour. Talking to my sister on the phone (his mother) who herself is in final stages of breast cancer I suggested that she have the Dr. check oestrogen levels...she was amazed and told me that this was one of the first things the Dr. did and it was found that his oestrogen level was so high as to be "off the scale".

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 Dear Marcia. The 12th rules sleep. The 9th rules the activity(karma/10th) we do in our sleep, hence dreams.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 Dear Noel, No, you aren't stepping on toesat all, I'm touched that you cared enough to write. and I will try to get a copy of Dr. Lee's book. only thing is, I am afraid to go off the Lo-Ovral because even if I'm off one day, I get a debilitating migraine, which I can't afford to have the way my life is! (Too many and too much depending on my being a workhorse/mother/etc). I don't even take the week off per month women normally do on the Lo-Ovral. The doctor said my progesterone levels are high but estrogen is lower (he does blood tests), and the does of estrogen is very low--the migraines are caused by the higher levels of progesterone when the estrogen drops, so I am afraid of doing anything to the balance we have now. I haven't had a migraine since starting the Lo-Ovral, unless I run out or forget a pill--and now that I know what causes the migraines I don't let that happen. I am the only female in a house full of males --oldest son is 18, youngest son is turning 14 this month, and we have another boy (age 17) staying with us, all majoring in social life, and my house is always full of males (my sister came by and said she got testosterone poisoning! <grin>). I think my estrogen was so severely out-pheromoned she went screaming out to catch a chick-flick and ....now I have to import? Anyway, I guess the first thing is get a blood test and see what the hormone levels actually are, that's what my doc says (he's generally non-drug oriented for a doctor--he helped my husband get his cholesterol from 280 to 208 last test with exercise, evening primrose oil, oatmeal, and reading labels--most doctors would have put him on drugs.) A friend of mine who had breast cancer hasn't had much luck with the progesterone cream, but I'm sending what you said to her because you had some additional things to do along with it. She says soy milk helps. We both have hypoglycemia (so sugar has to be a rare thing--about 3 times a year I have a chocolate glazed doughnut and love it) and hate eating meat, she can't drink & I don't , and meditation is great, need to do that more often. We used to have a meditation group one a week, but everyone has sort of scattered, moved too far away. What do men do about hormone imbalances? I didn't realize men went through the same type of thing, but it makes sense. Actually, most of the mean I know seem for the most part to get nicer, seem happier in their fifties --what's up with that, just maturity? Thirties seem the worst, even considering the teenage stuff. Just the observations of a few wives/girlfriends. My mom just told me, it seemed the same to her--thirties hard, forties better especially late forties, fifties & up real sweety. Now I am very curious about that. Men: I would like to know, in your lives so far when were you happiest/unhappiest in general? Because maybe men are happy in their thirties, but in relationships the common theme seems to be (from our perpective) more ambitious but more selfish and unhappy with things around them, and the romance is (common complaint) gone--but then they get more romantic again in their forties. So it's like just when the women are about to give up it changes. We pretty much tell each other to hang in there, you know. Then it's our turn struggle with stuff. This is not every man, by the way, just --you know how women talk to each other and it helps to know it's not personal just a phase. By the way, I think it's so sweet of you, and Doriano, and the others on this list who have contributed, to care. Thanks so much.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 Thanks both Wendy and Visti for the response. So aspects to the 9th would indicate types of dreams - ie: strong/prophetic/nightmares, etc......? Marcia At 01:36 AM 8/18/01 -0700, you wrote: >Dear Marcia. >The 12th rules sleep.
