translation? Sammy.

 

> There is an important Chinese medical journal " Hubei Yike Daxue Xuebao "

that is written in Chinese of course (vol. 19 in 1998). This had to be

translated, so very few Westerners will ever learn of it. At the Hubei

Medical University in the Wuhan Province doctors studied real men with BPH

and prostate cancer. They took 96 men including 40 healthy subjects with no

prostate disease. The doctors measured their levels of testosterone,

estradiol, progesterone, LH and FSH. And what do you think they discovered?

The men with BPH and prostate cancer had LOWER testosterone levels than the

healthy men. They also had higher estrogen to testosterone ratios otherwise

known as " estrogen dominance " . The lower the testosterone levels and the

higher the estrogen levels the more prostate disease they had. The doctors

clearly concluded that this imbalance of testosterone was largely

responsible for the pathogenesis of prostate disease. As men age their

testosterone levels fall and their estrogen levels, especially estradiol and

estrone levels, rise. Men over the age of 50 generally have higher estrogen

levels than their postmenopausal wives!

> I knew I had blood deficiency and energy deficiency (is that

right?). Didn't know about gallbladder meridian. I am going to

start taking ginseng. All I could find was powdered Korean Ginseng.

I did a muscle testing type test on it and feel good about taking it.

 

Some authorities warn against using ginseng in cases of CFIDS, and

recommend that cordonopsis be substituted instead in these cases

where formulas call for ginseng.
