Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hormone Disruptors (Xenoestrogens) Your natural hormones are designed to do their specific job and generally do not exist in our bodies for very long afterwards.. Hormone disruptors survive much longer, are stored in our fat cells, are very burdensome to the liver and they can continue to re-circulate through your body for a very long period of time! For most women, this means in the vast majority of our fat cells which are located in the fatty tissues of the breast, ovaries and uterus as well as the brain and other areas. This is one instance when detoxifying helps on a daily or weekly basis. Pesticides, known as Xenoestrogens and a known endocrine disrupter as well as.rBGH ( a genetically engineered hormone) is prevalent in the vast majority of animal protein. They are simply chemical messengers that alter or " mimic " your own hormones. Unfortunately, these hormone disrupters are a much stronger form of estrogen, unlike what your body naturally produces. When they exist in your body for very long they contribute to a condition called " Estrogen Dominance " .. When we are exposed to these chemicals they alter the way our natural hormones act, and yes, that includes your thyroid hormones. Hormone disrupters are known to cause reproductive problems, especially in women, although men are now being affected also. These disrupters can be inhaled,ingested or simply absorbed through the skin, so it's imperative that you take the necessary precautions when deciding on which foods to eat and which water you are going to drink. Eating only organically grown foods can help minimize the damaging effects of certain toxic chemcials. We don't have much of a choice regarding the air we breathe, so any type of precautionary measures are beneficial. Toxic chemicals cause our bodies to produce only fifty percent of the *progesterone* that our mothers did. However, it's not the amount of progesterone that your body produces, but the balance between progesterone and estrogen thats important. Progesterone levels should be one hundred to two hundred times greater than estrogen if done by a saliva test in order for the progesterone to protect you from " excess " estrogen resulting in " Estrogen Dominance " . _________________ _________________ JoAnn Guest mrsjoguest DietaryTipsForHBP http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest The complete " Whole Body " Health line consists of the " AIM GARDEN TRIO " Ask About Health Professional Support Series: AIM Barleygreen " Wisdom of the Past, Food of the Future " http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/AIM.html PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER We have made every effort to ensure that the information included in these pages is accurate.
