Hormone Balance – Tell Me More!

What are the hormone balance risks? Is there a NATURAL solution?

I get a lot of calls and e-mails from both men and women asking about hormone balance. Should they partake in hormone replacement therapies? It is a complicated matter and it affects everyone: Men, women, and children. With the hope of helping you to better understand the intricacies of hormones and how they affect us, here is recent information about Natural Hormone Balancing. Please share with your family and friends.

WHAT ARE HORMONE DISRUPTERS?

Some “environmentalists” have asserted that numerous man-made chemicals can “mimic” or interfere with natural hormones. Thereby this may “disrupt” the normal functioning of the endocrine system in humans and wildlife. Endocrine systems consist of complex feedback pathways that influence diverse bodily functions through the secretion of hormones by glands such as the pituitary, thymus, thyroid, adrenals, and gonads. The hormone given the most attention is estrogen, a sex hormone produced by both men and women (but in larger quantities by women). Other hormones, such as growth hormones and thyroid hormones, are also attracting attention.

MANY MAN-MADE CHEMICALS – ARE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS

Chemicals and chemical by-products have been identified as potential hazards. Some environmental groups and scientists have focused attention on:

– Dioxins
– PCBs
– DDT and its metabolites
– Other Pesticides (including other organochlorines, and triazines)
– Alkylphenol ethoxylates
– PVC products
– Bisphenol-A
– Phthalates
– Pulp and paper production effluents
– Spermicides and condom lubricants

Hormone Balance to correct Hormone Disrupters

Hormone disrupters are so commonplace in modern society that there is no way to completely avoid them. Hormone disrupters come from pollutants, drugs, hormone-injected meats, dairy products, plastics, pesticides, and hormone-replacement drugs for both sexes. Only in the last five years has anyone realized how common environmental estrogens are in today’s world. Compounding the problem, these chemicals increase in potency 160 to 1600 times when they’re combined inside your body from several different sources, like hormone-injected meats and pesticide-sprayed produce.

Nearly 40% of pesticides used in commercial agriculture are suspected hormone disrupters.

All of the Earth’s waterways are connected. This means that many chemical pollutants contain environmental hormones that reach your food supply wherever you live. This problem is so huge that the Environmental Protection Agency began to implement a congressionally mandated plan to test 87,000 compounds to determine their effect on the reproductive systems of humans and animals.

Estrogen-mimicking pollutants Disrupt Hormone Balance

Estrogen-mimicking pollutants may even be changing the face of human evolution. New reports show the devastating effect of hormone-disrupting pollutants on our wildlife and human health. Pallid sturgeons, found only in the Mississippi River, are now condemned to extinction as decades of exposure to pollutant PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) has resulted in no new species’ birth for the last 10 years. Studies done on turtles at the University of Texas find that even when environmental factors (like heat) are controlled to determine a male outcome, females or intersex turtles are hatched from just a small amount of PCBs painted on the eggs.

No one is immune to hormone disrupters.

No one is immune to hormone disrupters. There is even evidence that links hormone disrupters to early puberty in children, and fertility problems for both men and women. Why use hormone balance pills when you can use therapeutic grade essential oils, a more natural solution?
