I don't know, but I *do* know that eggs have a wonderful natural balance

of lecithin and cholesterol - - - Eat the whole egg for the best benefit.

 

I would think that not eating them as one item, might unbalance other

things in your system.d

Hi everyone

I have been a lurker for a few weeks and rarely post.

 

First of all {{{{Chris}}}} my thoughts to you at this distressing time for

you.

 

Chakras:) A small pennyworth, I understand there are also 2 chakras called

the soul star {above head} and the earth star {beneath feet}

 

Sephiroth, these are not angels:) They are related to the qabbalistic Tree of

life. Vision a glyph with 10 spheres or sephiroth. Briefly this is a model,

based on ancient Judaic estorecism, of the formation of creation and is also

related to the understanding and development of the personality self, each

sephira having different attributes and correspondencies. Each one has an

archangel associated to it. The spheres are arranged in 3 pillars, the

sephirah on the middle pillar corresponding {though not exactly} to the

eastern Chakra system. The central sephirah, known as Tiphareth, is the heart

centre of the Tree and is associated to Archangel Raphael. Here too is the

'realm' of ascended masters. The Christ centre:)

Briefly, ascending the Middle pillar of Equilibrium, you have Malkuth, realm

of the physical, Archangel Sandalphon. Yesod, corresponding to the base

chakra in position, realm of the Astral, unconscious and learned patterns,

Archangel Gabriel. Tiphareth, sacral/heart centre, Daath,{An extra sephirah

but corresponding to the throat chakra} and Kether, the Crown {also

incorporating the third eye chakra}, Archangel Metatron.

Archangels on the other pillars are Michael, Haniel, Tzadkiel, Khameal,

Tzaphkiel, Raziel. An order of angels is also associated with each sephirah.

Hope that helps:)

L & L Bless

Hi Attilio

 

re: Digest 574

 

I must refer to the article you mention recommending Soya milk especially

for menopausal women.

 

Do refer to the article I mentioned several months ago on www.

nexusmagazine.com website entitled Tragedy and Hype. This product is highly

oestrogenic and potentially lethal for us.

 

My own son has been damaged from the use of Soya baby formula in infancy -

on prescription of course. We must remember that not all research actually

reports reality and industrial money speaks most articulately. Articles such

as this are media hype. I believe that there are massive court cases in the

States and Australia seeking damages for Soya damage.

 

With regard to bones, oestrogen stops bone loss, that's why they give HRT,

but if we have damaged bones we don't want to keep those... we want to grow

good new ones. Natural Progesterone promotes bone growth read Dr John Lee's

research and Dame Dr Shirley Bond's book Natural Progesterone.

Complications Regarding Progesterone

 

If one has not read Dr. Lee’s books on What Your Doctor May Not Tell You

About Premenopause and What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause, I

would highly recommend them. These books are classics and should be in

everyone’s natural medicine library. Progesterone cream has been one of the

most important supplements I have ever used in my practice.

I have come to a recent realization regarding the use of these creams. Most

women in our culture are estrogen dominant, so using the progesterone goes a

long way towards balancing hormones which usually decreases a woman’s risk

for breast cancer, improves her PMS and breast tenderness and normalizes her

cycle. Like most good things in life if one uses too much of the hormone

cream, complications can develop in disruption in one’s hormone balance.

Dr. Lee is fond of using the lower dose creams to avoid this. But this

complication can still occur with the low-dose creams. I always attempt to

provide the most cost effective solution in my practice so I use

prescription strength 10% cream. Theoretically, there is no problem with

this if one uses it as directed. There is a huge cost savings as this

concentration is able to get the cost down to $3 per month. However, if one

uses more than 1/16 of a teaspoon, complications appear to be inevitable.

The problem relates to the fact that progesterone is highly fat soluble and

once applied to the skin will store itself in a woman’s fat tissue. When one

first uses the cream, there is no problem here as the fat stores are very

low. But as time goes on, the cream accumulates and contributes to

disruptions in the adrenal hormones such as DHEA, cortisol, and testosterone

I have learned that although progesterone cream is an enormously useful

tool, it needs to be used very cautiously.

I have also learned that it is FAR MORE IMPORTANT to work to normalize the

adrenal hormones first. Once the adrenal hormones are balanced, the

progesterone levels will frequently normalize and one will not require any

cream. The wonderful thing about adrenal normalization is that it usually

only takes 3-6 months to balance these hormones. Once they are balanced, one

usually does not require any hormone supplements to keep them balanced.

The balancing process involves lifestyle changes first. If you haven’t

already guessed it by now, the diet at Read This First on my home page www

mercola.com is the first step. Secondly, one needs to get to bed by 10 PM.

This is an essential part of the process. If one is routinely going to bed

after 10, then one’s biorhythms will be disrupted. Addressing emotional

stress in one’s life is the other huge component. I believe that the therapy

we are now offering in with Applied Psychoneurobiology, APN, (see the

article section on my web site) is one of the most effective tools for this.

APN clearly is not the only way to address this and there are many other

wonderful approaches out there. Journaling is one of the better and least

expensive ones, but there are many other approaches also.

Once the lifestyle issues are addressed, then one would ideally evaluate the

adrenal and female hormones. One of the better ways to do this is though

measuring salivary hormone concentrations. I had been using Aeron Labs, and

they do good work. Dr. Zava used to run it and now he runs his own company,

which is also a fine lab. However, I have recently been introduced to

BioHealth Diagnostics (800-570-2000) and I am hugely impressed with their

services. They hold regular seminars and are even having one this weekend in

San Diego. I would have loved to attend, but I am still catching up from my

earlier learning tour. They also hold weekly phone seminars for health care

professionals, which are excellent.

I really believe they have a huge jump on the other labs as they run

multiple samples to make these measurements. One can certainly perform the

same test at other labs, but the bill for all the samples would literally by

two to three times as expensive. The other labs also do not have an

educational component. They have a wonderful clinician, Dr. Dan Bivens, who

walks the health care professional through proper evaluation of the test

results.

Once the results are in, the hormonal manipulation generally involves using

sublingual hormones such as DHEA and pregnenolone or cortisol improving

agents such as licorice root extract. The exact dosage, timing and use are

determined by the results of the test. The absolutely incredible aspect of

this testing and treatment strategy is that it recalibrates the brain and

helps the body to start making the hormones by themselves so one is not

stuck on hormone treatment for the rest of their life.

Getting back to progesterone cream, I have been finding that many of the

women who were on the cream have terribly elevated levels of this hormone.

This is not good. Progesterone is normally a cyclical hormone and the body

really needs to see a change in the concentration to affect a proper

physiological response. If the level is constantly above the concentration

that it recognizes as " off " or low, this is not possible. Fortunately, this

is repairable. But it may involve going off the cream for as long as two

years to wash the progesterone out of the system.

I am still in an evaluation stage and learning about how common this is in

my own practice as I have just started using this system for the past month.

At this point, I am relatively convinced that this is a big part of the

picture for hormone replacement.

Recommendations

 

 

If you are a health care professional and dispensing or recommending

progesterone cream, I would recommend you contact BioHealth Diagnostics for

an information kit. If you are not one of my patients, you can contact them

for a health care professional in your area. If you are one of my patients,

there will be a huge shift in the way that we are administering the

dispensing of progesterone cream in our office. We will not dispense any

cream at this point without a proper evaluation of one’s adrenal and female

hormones. This will be done through salivary hormone testing. This test is

usually covered by one’s health insurance. This will allow me to normalize

and restore the finely tuned hormone balance that one’s body is designed to

have, rather than blindly slapping on progesterone cream without any

appreciation of the potential complication or hormone disruptions.

Natural progesterone is the exact same hormone that is produced by a woman's

ovary. It is made from naturally occurring plant steroids found in the wild

yam. It is NOT the synthetic version that is commonly purchased as tablets

with a prescription such as Provera. The synthetic progesterone can produce

severe side effects including increased risk of cancer, abnormal menstrual

flow, fluid retention, nausea, and depression. Side effects are extremely

rare with natural progesterone. The only one of concern is that it might

slightly alter the timing of the menstrual cycle.

Reasons Why Natural Progesterone Made by Your Body Is Good

Natural progesterone is very useful to balance excess estrogen. Natural

progesterone is also different from estrogen in that your body can use it as

a precursor or starting material to make other hormones such as adrenal

hormones. It can even convert it into estrogen or testosterone if your body

needs it. The table on the next page lists the properties of estrogen

relative to progesterone. Some of the reasons that estrogen is frequently in

excess in many women are:

1. Over production of estrogen. Ovarian cysts or tumors can lead to excess

estrogen production. Stress also increases production, but probably the most

common cause is obesity. All body fat has an enzyme which converts adrenal

steroids to estrogen, so the more fat you have, the more estrogen is present

 

2. Inability to breakdown estrogen. Excess estrogen is generally removed by

the liver. Diseases of the liver like cirrhosis or decreased enzyme activity

can lead to increased estrogen levels. Vitamin B6 and magnesium are

necessary for the liver to neutralize estrogen. Increased sugar intake will

also excrete magnesium and interfere with its ability to breakdown estrogen.

 

3. Exposure to pesticides in foods. Most of us eat foods that have

pesticides on them. These and many other unnatural chemicals share a common

structure with estrogen and serve as " false " estrogens which further

stimulates the body's estrogen receptors.

4. Estrogen supplementation. Clearly any additional estrogen given by

prescription will increase the level unless it is properly balanced with

natural progesterone.

5. Decreased production of progesterone. Progesterone is necessary to

counterbalance estrogen. If women do not ovulate during their cycle they

will not produce any progesterone that cycle. This happens commonly and

worsens the already disturbed progesterone/estrogen balance.

hi Peter

I just read through your email to do with progesterone and thought

how interesting 'your' work sounded.

 

I did a google search for more info on progesterone and came across

the following:

http://www.mercola.com/article/progesterone/cream.htm#

 

now I am confused, as the content of your mail is almost verbatim to

the D. Josehp Mercola web page .

 

What was the purpose of your mail?

OK Peter:) why did you paste the page in? Do you use progesterone

much with your patients? what is your experience?
