 Estrogen is a Greek word meaning Producing Frenzy! It is responsible for hot flashes, tears, emotion, breast and ovarian cancer, and it also is responsible for conception and birth. About 14 days into your cycle estrogen level peaks and the ovary releases the egg. LOW ESTROGEN LEVELS:
When you go through Menopause or peri-menopause (around menopause) everyone will tell you that these symptoms are unavoidable and you might even get used to them, but the good news is that you do not have to get used to it – YOU can do something about it. Estrogen replacement restores your body’s hormonal balance. Guess what, there is concrete, indisputable evidence that estrogen replacement therapy causes cancer. So what do we do? Well, the answer lies in the type and combination of estrogen and progesterone we take. The devastating studies that revealed the cancer scare were based on people who had taken synthetic hormones and unopposed by progesterone. The answer is to balance estrogen with progesterone and take the right type of progesterone. Natural progesterone is produced from yams and soybeans. The synthetic estrogen is made from the urine of pregnant mares. Natural bio-identical hormone replacement is what I am talking about here. We all must be aware of our symptoms and wake up to the fact that we need to take this all in and learn more about how to take care of ourselves. I recommend the Suzanne Somers books to get started and then find a doctor close to you that deals with Anti-Aging or bio-identical hormone replacement.
