Estrogen Dominance in Women

Over the years I have experienced many of the symptoms that come with estrogen dominance and let me tell you they’re not fun!  It’s through awareness that I’ve regained my health and life!  In case you’re wondering what some of the symptoms and conditions that may be associated with estrogen dominance are, here’s a partial list:

• Allergies
• Sinus Congestion
• Fibrocystic Breasts
• Foggy Thinking
• Gallbladder disease
• Hair Loss
• Headaches
• PMS
• Hypoglycemia
• Uterine Fibroids
• Endometriosis
• Irregular Periods
• Sluggish Metabolism
• Thyroid Dysfunction
• Water Retention & Bloating

You may be asking, “What are some ways we become estrogen dominant”?  That’s a really good question.  I’m about to give you some answers that may surprise you. 

Many people attempt to improve their water quality by drinking bottled water in plastic.  That is definitely NOT a good idea!  Scientists at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt have detected “estrogenic activity” in seventy eight percent of the water samples bottled by polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic – identifiable by the number “1” encased by the triangular arrows of the recycling symbol.  One thing we can do is to stop drinking water from plastic.  Plastic exposure is indeed a larger problem than plastic water bottles.  We have so many items packaged in plastic these days (consumable products specifically).   We now know glass is ALWAYS best for storing and drinking water!  Fresh organic whole food is ALWAYS a better choice for a healthy diet than anything ever processed or stored in plastic! 

Next we have the issue of Soy and Flaxseed!  Soy and flaxseed contain plant based estrogens that act like the female hormone when introduced into the diet. Many believe an Asian diet is synonymous with a long lifespan and the key is diet that includes soy.  What’s not often looked at is the Asian diets only consume a small portion of soy and this soy is typically fermented for three to six months.  Then it’s being consumed more as a condiment as opposed to their main source of protein.  When you ferment soy you get products like miso, tempeh, and natto which do not have the negative properties of unfermented soy.  Modern processed soy protein food in the form of soy burgers and soy drinks found in supermarkets in no way resembles the traditional Asian soy.  This topic deserves a lot more attention so I refer you to a wonderful book called “The Whole Soy Story”, by Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN.

Flax seed’s compounds are structurally similar to the phyto-estrogen in soy.  Those compounds are called enterolactone and enterodiol.  This suggests that flax seed may also interfere with estrogen metabolism through competitive binding of the receptor sites.  Personally, I try to stay away from both flax and soy as much as possible.  It’s always a good idea to tune into your body and notice how it feels after eating.  Wait 20-30 minutes and then write down any symptoms you may feel.  We are our best doctors.  I consume very little, if at all, of these foods and if I do I make sure it’s from a very pure source.

Understanding that phytoestrogens are widely distributed in plants and those phytoestrogens are quite similar to estrogens in our body helps us make informed food choices to lower estrogen dominance. Estrogen is known to be involved in developing hormone sensitive cancers such as breast cancer.  It is important to keep these levels as low as possible especially for those who are in an estrogen dominant state.  Three ways of doing that are avoidance of plastics, flax and soy..

Chinese Acupuncture and Herbs For Endometriosis

A recent study analyzing TCM (traditional chinese medicine) for the treatment of endometriosis found women taking hormonal treatments had more side effects than women taking Chinese herbs.  Acne, weight gain, and irregular periods were the most common side effects.

When I battled endometriosis with prescriptions such as synarel and lupron which are designed to shut down the menstrual cycle and shrink the endometrial lining, I experienced increased symptoms and side effects.  I can honestly say my only relief came embracing TCM.  My exposure from taking numerous drugs and having numerous surgeries brought about debilitating cramps, weight gain, mental fogginess, a sense of worthlessness and more.  After a near decade of the above treatment, I found light at the end of the tunnel through a Chinese Medical Doctor, Dr. Lina Zahn in Newport Beach.  

Dr. Lina began aggressive acupuncture coupled with chinese herbs.  Immediately I began to experience relief.  It was this relief that brought encouragement to seek out other alternative means to support returning to health.  Some of these methods include Pranic Healing which works on the energetic body, meditation which works on the emotional and spiritual body, eliminating trigger foods from my diet along with certain stressors from my lifestyle and continuing to be physically active with the practice of yoga, pilates, cardio and weight training.  All of these changes are continuing to bring about enhanced health along with a life I’m beyond grateful to be a part of!

How Do We Stay Safe From Heavy Metals?

It’s not outrageous to assume heavy metals are a possible component to autoimmune disorders.  Earlier this year, I decided to take a test to see where I stood.  Dr. Lyn Hanshew, MD, assured me there’s NO test available to determine Total Body Load of Toxic Heavy Metals or other Toxins, however, there is a test that indicates elevated levels of Toxic Heavy Metals.  That’s the test I took.

Prior to taking the test, for close to two years I’d been taking NCD Zeolites. If you’re not familiar with zeolites, they’re a natural occurring mineral that removes heavy metals and toxins from the body (click on “NCD/Agarigold” under “Carolyn recommends”, then on NCD to learn more).  It was difficult for me to handle larger doses of NCD without becoming symptomatic.  Friends and clients of mine had none of the issues I experienced.  I went at it slowly and consistently determined to rid my body of these unwelcome invaders.

The results came in showing five metals above the normal range.  Cesium, Gadolinium, Rubidium and Thallium were only slightly elevated, however, Arsenic levels are at the extreme dark red (danger) edge of the chart.  The reference range for Arsenic is <50 and I came in at 109.  That number is so far to the right on the graph, it literally seems OFF THE CHART!  I shutter to think what these levels where prior to using NCD.

These tests determining my heavy metal toxin levels were taken prior to two green juice fasts w/mega doses of NCD and other nutritional changes I’ve made.  You better believe I’ll be taking my follow up test shortly to see how my levels have improved and I’ll share those results with you.  

Where does one pick up Arsenic?  Well, contaminated shellfish is one place.. I don’t eat shellfish and haven’t for years.  Hmm?  Today I happened upon this serious article identifying Arsenic in drinking water.  No this is not describing a third world country problem.  This is happening right here in good old California “http://www.turnto23.com/east_county/20095214/detail.html”.  It’s both interesting and shocking to see how many areas of our daily lives could be poisoning us.  Awareness is the first step.

I’m posting an excellent video interview with William Wendling of Oxygen Ozone (a water expert) here.  This interview will empower you to be as safe as possible in your own home when it comes to water.  Type your email above and the interview will be sent free of charge.

We must ALL be proactive in removing heavy metals and toxins from our body and lifestyle.  Today’s question is “have you or anyone you’ve known had issues with heavy metals?”  Post your story below.
