This well-written book is a refreshing
look at what's really going on in medicine with hormone
treatments, and what's really causing breast cancer. It
provides in-depth coverage of how your hormones relate to breast
cancer. Recently, the news has been filled with reports of
medical studies demonstrating the dangers of conventional hormone
replacement therapy. However, the risks and toxicity of unnatural
and synthetic hormones have been known for decades – this should not
discourage women from using natural hormones appropriately to feel
better and reduce the risk of breast cancer.
Women who take the hormone balance test recommended
in the book can find great treatments that will change their lives in a
very positive way.
Estrogen deficiency causes vaginal dryness, night
sweats, painful intercourse, memory problems, bladder infections,
lethargic depression and hot flashes. These are not only
miserable – but unnecessary.
This book talks about how to remedy estrogen
deficiency without increasing the risk of breast cancer. Estrogen
deficiency is most common in menopausal women; especially if they are
petite or slim. These women may need to make some changes to their diet
and take special women's herbs. Some women may even need a little
bit of natural estrogen (about one-tenth the dose prescribed by most
doctors).
Estrogen dominance and estrogen excess increase your
risk of breast cancer as well as making you miserable. This book
talks about why and what to do about it.
Some women have too much estrogen. This is
most often due to using conventional synthetic hormones as prescribed
by many doctors for menopausal women. If you have too much
estrogen you will be prone to puffiness and bloating, cervical
dysplasia (abnormal pap smear), rapid weight gain, breast tenderness,
mood swings, heavy bleeding, anxious depression, migraine headaches,
insomnia, foggy thinking, red flush on face, gallbladder problems and
weepines.
Some women don’t have enough progesterone to balance
their estrogen. This causes estrogen dominance. Thus, you
can have low estrogen but if you have even lower progesterone, you can
have symptoms of estrogen dominance. Many women between the ages of 40
and 50 suffer from estrogen dominance. Symptoms of estrogen
dominance include PMS, insomnia, early miscarriage, painful and/or
lumpy breasts, unexplained weight gain, cyclical headaches, anxiety and
infertility, in addition to the symptoms of estrogen excess.
