Hormone imbalance is experienced by women from before puberty to old

age.to the normal function of hormones. It occurs in almost all women during

the

premenstrual part of their cycle. In some women it gets so pronounced that

there is an actual hormone allergy to their own hormones which heightens

their reactions.

 

The most common disorders associated with ordinary hormone imbalance

reactions are:

 

PMS

Weight Problems

Loss of Short Term Memory

Fatigue

Skin Problems

Mood Swings

Diminished Sex Drive

 

If the reactions become more severe then we run into actual hormone

allergy where we find a group of more serious disorders:

 

Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Premenstrual Asthma

Menstrual Migraine

Fibromyalgia

Interstitial Cystitis

Arthritis

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

 

HORMONE ALLERGY

 

This phenomenon seems clear to the women who experience it, but it is not

widely recognized by their physicians. And while there are many journal

references to the connection between hormones and symptoms, we have only just

published our research that demonstrates, for the first time, the presence

of IgE antibodies to hormones in our patients. This is the first scientific

evidence of hormone allergy. This also explains why your doctor isn’t aware

of it. I am aware of only one recent textbook that actually suggests a

hormone allergy. That book is Endometrium & Endometriosis (1997). In the final

chapters, Drs. Mabry, Konetzki and Mary Lou Balweg (President of the

American Endometriosis Association) discuss their research and experience

treating endometriosis as though it were in some part a result of a hormone

allergy. In the final chapter, Mary Lou Balweg discusses the effectiveness of

treating the allergic factors. Dr. Kresch, Professor of Obstetrics and

Gynecology at Stanford Medical School in Palo Alto, California, has suggested

that addressing the hormone allergy of his patients has allowed him to deal

with their endometriosis problems without surgery in a majority of patients.

 

And there are several recent papers describing " Premenstrual Asthma. " A

significant recent acknowledgement of hormone allergy is found in the

January, 1998 article in the New England Journal of Medicine. This article is

titled " Differential Behavior Effects of Gonadal Steroids in Women And In Those

Without Premenstrual Syndrome. "

 

HORMONE CHANGES

 

It is well known that as we age our skin changes. Older women experience

bruising on their arms, dryness from the neck down, oiliness from the neck

up, wrinkles and ‘age’ spots. Younger women may experience " acne " or red

spots on their face, scalp, bosom and upper back. Often I see unusual hair

growth called " hirsutism. " In one case a twenty year-old woman was shaving

twice a day and the hair on her head was so thin you could see her scalp in

all areas. She also had coarse, long hair on her arms and legs and a thick

thatch of hair on her bosom. Her doctor had found all of her hormones to be

" within normal limits. " The typical post-menopausal little old lady is bald

headed with chin whiskers, a mustache, thin, dry skin and a cranky

personality. (I know this isn’t always true and it certainly doesn’t

describe my

dear, sweet, old mom or yours; but, I need to make a point...).

 

Menopause is defined as the end of ovulation: no more eggs. Fairly

profound changes begin to take place and they accelerate as the years go by.

Primarily you are no longer fertile. You are out of warranty, and Nature is

going to get rid of you. Menopause is characterized by low levels of estrogen.

Low levels of estrogen are not found in teenage girls.

 

ESTROGEN can:

 

1. Reduce “hot flashesâ€

2. Prevent and reverse osteoporosis

3. Soften your skin and reduce wrinkles and bruising

4. Reduce depression (Harvard Women’s Health letter, Sept. 1998)

5. Prevent or reverse Alzheimer’s Disease

6. Improve memory

7. Improve driving skills and motor tasks

 

I see hormone allergy causing skin problems in little girls of eight or

nine and most commonly in early teens and ladies from about thirty-five to

forty-five. Each new generation seems to begin menstruation a little earlier

than the last. I think I see a much larger percentage of female allergy

patients than men because their hormone cycles are much more pronounced from

puberty through menopause.

 

I suspect this has always been true, but I believe the reason for the

increasing magnitude of the problem goes once again to the increase in

hypersensitivity (hormone allergy included) that we are seeing in this country.

If

we accept the possibility that our increasing population of hypersensitivity

" boomers " can react to anything, then it is easy to see where hormone

allergy could lead us.

 

If a perfectly balanced hormone factory is humming along smoothly, then we

don’t have any problems. (Those students may leave the room, you are

dismissed from class.) But what might we see if there is a problem with the

hormone factory? What if the girl is born with slightly less estrogen than

normal? [Continued ...........]
