Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is based on the incorrect assumption that your body becomes incapable of producing appropriate amounts of hormones simply because we reach a certain age. Your body does alter its hormone production as you pass through the stages of life, but hormone problems are a function of how healthy you are, not how old you are.
Any hormone replacement, whether it is natural or not, actually causes the body to slow down the production of its own natural hormones, including melatonin, DHEA, progesterone and human growth hormone. HRT does not treat the cause of any problem, it only addresses-and perpetuates-the symptoms.
Women are no longer willing to accept the risks associated with synthetic hormones, and are searching for safer alternatives. The negative side effects of traditional hormone replacement therapy is well documented and includes cancer, gallstones, blood clots, high blood pressure, liver disease and cataracts.
New research is continually emerging. An estimated two million women are now using synthetic, natural "plant-derive" and synthesized "bio-identical" hormones. The problem for the consumer is education. They simply do not know what their base line hormone levels are before and during product usage and what effects long-term usage will produce.
A Naturopathic approach to balancing hormones begins with saliva testing and homeopathy. It incorporates diet, nutrition, dental health, exercise, emotional release work, colonics and herbology.
Stop Replacing Hormones, Rejuvenate Them
The Reality
Thousands of saliva test results (before and after) indicate homeopathic formulas stimulate needed amounts of hormones even with women who have undergone surgery for a complete hysterectomy.
Homeopathic remedies, in general, are not effective in a formula with natural or synthetic hormones, coloring, preservatives, flavoring, essential oils or fragrance, vitamins, and herbs. In this case, the homeopathic remedies will be neutralized and will not work.
Women with hysterectomies can produce enough of their own hormones by using homeopathic formulas. HRT will only exasperate the condition, causing dependency, adrenal cortisol stress and toxic levels of hormones.
Diet and exercise has a great influence on hormonal balance. Caffeine dehydrates the adrenal glands affecting cortisol levels and sugar exhausts them. An endocrine rebuilding diet is a must for all hormonally challenged patients.
Root canals and other dental problems (focal disturbances) can be the main cause of accelerated aging and hormonal imbalances.
The synthetic U.S.P. hormonal creams sold over-the-counter, synthesized from soy or wild yam, are no longer natural. In addition, they have not been thoroughly researched for safety. They are mass marketed, mostly as a cosmeceutical, throughout health food stores and health professionals.
Hormones are dispensed without hormone saliva testing to determine hormonal status.
Biological age is more important than chronological age when determining proper hormone ratios and patients programs.
The consumer does not always follow directions making it hard to administer the precise amount the body needs. The amount and quantity used of these preparations can easily overload the body, causing abnormal hormone ratios and liver toxicity.
ALL hormone replacement whether applied topically or taken orally, causes organs and glands to slow down or stop production of naturally produced hormones.
Adrenal cortisol levels are related to hormone production. Long Term Use of HRT has been linked to breast cancer. Natural and Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy has side effects. No randomized trial has found a reduced risk of heart attack, premature death or chest pain among women taking hormones.
