Testosterone is not just for men; maleness protects femaleness

2019-02-14T13:08:03-06:00

How does estriol relate to testosterone and how do they protect women?  Estriol is a forgotten estrogen. We mostly think of estrogen as estradiol. But there are 60 different estrogen-acting molecules in the female body. One is estriol. And it protects women. It is a tumor suppressor agent. It is also an anti-inflammatory agent. Women produce large amounts of estriol when they are pregnant. It protects a soon to be mother’s body from the potential inflammation of now growing a new being. Many women with inflammatory diseases like inflammatory gut issues or joint issues, have these go into remission when pregnant, [...]

Big Pharma Hormone Conspiracy Exposed

2019-01-17T19:10:55-06:00

by  Drs. Devaki Lindsey Berkson and David Brownstein We can’t live without hormones. Hormones have much more to do with the body than just controlling reproductive actions.  In fact, hormones control every bodily function, which includes the neurological, cardiovascular systems as well as the kidneys and even our vocal chords. In order to achieve optimal health, we need our hormones properly balanced on all levels.  When hormonal pathways are disrupted, disease and disorder sets in. In our toxic world, hormonal pathways are often disrupted by synthetic hormones, which are found in our food, medicines, and the environment.  Over the last 20 years, many [...]

Testosterone Fears Unjustified

2019-02-14T12:48:20-06:00

Defending Testosterone, Debunking the Myths. This is the name of an article that came out June 4, 2015, in Medscape, by Abraham Morgentaler MD, a physician and researcher looking at testosterone every which way for decades. Dr. Morgentaler says that the effects of low testosterone called "hypogonadism" or "low T" and the benefits of treatment with T has been widely practiced for many years since testosterone replacement was first synthesized in 1935.  But controversy has surrounded T therapy all these years. This shadow of murk over T replacement was based on a single report, later shown to be unreliable, that testosterone [...]

HORMONE THERAPY STARTED WITHIN 10 YEARS OF MENOPAUSE HALVES THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE and DEMENTIA IN WOMEN

2019-01-30T14:39:12-06:00

Evidence on hormone therapy is confusing for docs and patients alike. The research is so convoluted it’s difficult to interpret and translate into safe to-dos unless you know the large terrain of the data. And is enough to put anyone into early cognitive decline. So to keep your head and facts clear, read on. Part of the issue is that headlines that emphasize scary results are made more public while positive results studies don’t garnish as much attention and are often lost to the public and even doctors. A perfect example of this confusion surrounding presentation of research on hormone therapy [...]

From the Million Women Study April 2015 Different types of HRT have different effects on risk of blood clots Women taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) have an increased risk of blood clots in the veins (this is known as venous thromboembolism, and includes deep vein thrombosis or DVT – formation of blood clots in the deep veins of the legs – and the less common, but more serious, pulmonary embolism, blood clots in the lungs) BUT WHEN TAKEN ORALLY, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN A SYNTHETIC VERSION OF PROGESTIN IS ADDED. TOPICALS OR VAGINAL APPLICATION DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. In the Million [...]

Regular Use of Acetaminophen in Pregnancy May Lower Testosterone in Unborn Boys

2019-02-18T12:21:30-06:00

More evidence for fetal origin of adult diseases. Testosterone is not just about sexy stuff, but also protects brain, heart, and more. Prolonged acetaminophen (paracetamol) use by pregnant women may reduce testosterone production in unborn baby boys, research has found. Researchers say their findings could help to explain reported links between acetaminophen use in pregnancy and reproductive health problems in young boys. "Prolonged exposure to acetaminophen reduces testosterone production by the human fetal testis in a xenograft model". Science Translational Medicine, 2015; 7 (288): 288ra80 DOI: 10.1126/scitranslmed.aaa4097

The Testosterone Wars

2019-02-13T11:19:32-06:00

An article came out on March 3 2015, in Medscape, an online journal that goes out to many million medical providers, entitled, Testosterone Labels Must Now Note CV (cardiovascular) and Stroke Risks, FDA Says. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now require makers of testosterone products to include two statements on each label. Clearly describe the “approved” uses of these medications. Clearly present the warning that use of this product possibly increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. What did the FDA base these statements on? A team of experts wanted to know. Dr. A. Morgentaler, a urologist from [...]

Estrogen Naïveté Needs to Wake Up

2018-11-15T14:01:35-06:00

Estrogen’s a real complex and intriguing hormone. Medicine and science have been confused about estrogen for a long time now. Estrogen is sultry and ancient. She was the first hormone that existed on earth. She’s been around longer than most other signaling molecules (much of life inside the human body occurs with one cell sending an email to another; this is a signaling system). Estrogen is critical for many life processes and in most life forms. The estrogen emailing system in the fruit fly, gorilla, men and women and boys and girls is all the same. Each of us needs estrogen [...]
