Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Fibrocystic Breasts, Uterine Cancer & Hormonal Balance JoAnn Guest Dec 10, 2004 12:10 PST ======================================================================= Fibrocystic Breasts, Uterine Cancer & Hormonal Balance CHASTEBERRY MAY HELP TO SLOW,STOP, OR REVERSE THE DEVELOPMENT OF CYSTS/LUMPS IN THE BREAST AND UTERUS. IT APPEARS TO WORK BY INCREASING LYMPH VESSEL CIRCULATION IN THE BREAST TISSUE WHILE PROMOTING HORMONAL BALANCE. This Condition Is Caused By: An Insufficient Production Of Progesterone During The Second Phase Of A Woman's Cycle, Called " The Luteal Phase " . As A Result, Estrogen Controls The Second Half Of The Menstrual Cycle Too. This is called a luteal phase defect. Another common factor involves the " pituitary " gland. The pituitary detects elevated estrogen levels, and lets the ovaries know they can start producing less of it. When the pituitary gland generates too much " prolactin " , a specific hormone, luteal phase defects may result. Too much Prolactin can lead to an imbalance in the female sex hormones. Chasteberry promotes the proper estrogen-to-progesterone ratio, and helps regulate gland function.Chasteberry also has 'diuretic " effects, which helps women who suffer from fluid retention. It appears to help " regulate " the ovulatory cycle. " XENOESTROGENS " are 'foreign' estrogens that are found in pesticides, herbicides, plastics, margarines and salad dressings, to just name a few. Due to the way these harmful estrogens affect our bodies many women are producing 50% less of the progesterone that their mothers did! These harmful estrogens contribute to estrogen dominance, damage the developing follicles of the fetus and cause breast cancer, osteoporosis and infertility! Xenoestrogens, like DDT and dioxins, can bond with estrogen receptors in your body and never leave!!!!! ISOFLAVONES: " TIE UP " YOUR ESTROGEN *RECEPTOR SITES* SO HARMFUL XENOESTROGENS ARE NOT ABLE TO ATTACH THEMSELVES TO THESE SITES. WHEN XENOESTROGENS ATTACH THEMSELVES TO THESE RECEPTOR SITES, YOU ARE AT HIGH RISK FOR CERTAIN FORMS OF CANCER. GOOD SOURCES OF ISOFLAVONES ARE NON_GMO SOY, LENTILS, LEGUMES, SPROUTS, CHICKPEAS AND DRIED BEANS. YOUR DIGESTIVE PROCESS RELEASES NATURAL " CHEMICALS " FROM BEANS, LENTILS AND LEGUMES CALLED " PROTEASE INHIBITORS " . " PROTEASE INHIBITORS " CONTROL ABNORMAL CELL DIVISION BEFORE IT TURNS TO CANCER. Clinical Applications: ALFALFA--Alfalfa sprouts contain phytoestrogens, so use them liberally on salads. Phytoestrogens are much less potent than the body's own estrogens. They actually block the body's own estrogen receptor sites from being taken up by more harmful xenoestrogens in the form of environmental contaminants, thereby reducing many of the detrimental effects of " estrogen dominance " . GLA-- Borage oil and Black Currant oil are both excellent sources of gamma linoleic acid (GLA)., GLA is an effective anti-inflammatory agent that has no side effects. Both ot these oils are an effective treatment for Estrogen Dominance, but they don't work instantaneously. You must take one or the other for six to eight weeks before it takes effect and you notice changes. Evening Primrose oil also contains an abundant amount of GLA. Mix a tsp. of Borage oil in juice and drink daily. Dr. Weil recommends 500 mg of black currant oil twice a day as the most economical form. YOU MAY BE MAKING ENOUGH PROGESTERONE BUT ARE UNDER STRESS AND MAKING CORTISOL WHICH ACTUALLY CAUSES A BLOCKADE OF PROGESTERONE. YOU BECOME ESTROGEN DOMINANT. BREASTS OFTEN SWELL (RETAINING WATER INTRACELLULARLY). Augment with natural progesterone. Adrenal Fatigue:Progesterone helps combat cortisol interference and can help restore energy levels. FOODS TO SKIP INCLUDE-- PESTICIDE-LADEN NONORGANIC FOODS, NON ORGANIC DAIRY PRODUCTS, RED MEATS, CAFFEINE, REFINED SUGARS, CHOCOLATE AND ALCOHOL. DUE TO THEIR HIGH FAT CONTENT, DAIRY PRODUCTS SPONGE UP ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS; ALSO THEY ARE SATURATED WITH EXCESS ESTROGEN, ANTIBIOTICS, GROWTH HORMONES AND GENETICALLY ENGINEERED INGREDIENTS. WILD YAM Contains estrogen-balancing compounds. The progesterone taken from the wild yam is nearly identical to what the body produces, says John Lee, M.D. of Sebastopol, California. Most studies report that the cream and oil are most effective because the progesterone absorbed through the skin enters the bloodstream directly! A synthetic form of the female hormone progesterone is often prescribed for women with menstrual problems, osteoporosis and menopausal symptoms. however, synthetic progesterone has been linked to a number of unpleasant side effects, such as fluid retention and salt buildup as well as blood clots and uterine and breast cancers! A natural and safer form of progesterone, derived from wild yam is readily available and effective in relieving the symptoms for which synthetic progesterone is prescribed! _________________ JoAnn Guest mrsjo- DietaryTi- www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/Genes AIM Barleygreen " Wisdom of the Past, Food of the Future " http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/Diets.html Read only the mail you want - Mail SpamGuard.
