Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 Dear San Diego practitioners: I just referred a patient to PCOM who needs an acupuncturist in San Diego...is there a better way for me to refer to specialists instead of just to the school in general? This woman has severe back pain but wants to get off drugs so she can get pregnant. A challenging case. You can email me privately if you like. Julie Chambers - Tuesday, April 02, 2002 4:40 PM Re: diet and gyn According to a friend/patient of mine, Miki advises against soyfoods also for low testosterone patients, saying it suppresses testosterone production, and omega 3 or 9 oils (including olive oils) which also suppress, although 6 stimulates testosterone.I'll have to ask Miki about this myself next time I see him.Personally, I've never bought the idea (or seen supportive research) that phytoestrogens could have such a direct effect, unless perhaps taken in unusually high dosages. I agree with you here, Todd. Z'ev RosennbergOn Thursday, March 28, 2002, at 12:24 PM, wrote: Someone told me that miki shima advises women not to eat soyfoods if they have endometriosis or fibroids. Has anyone heard this prohibition? Why does it make sense? there is an irrational fear that phytoestrogens increase estrogenic effects in the body, while all the evidence seems to show that phytoestrogens decrease estrogenic effects.Chinese Herbsvoice: fax: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
