A NON-TOXIC APPROACH TO BALANCING YOUR HORMONES
by Abram Ber, M.D. Homeopathic Physician
Many symptoms result from an imbalance in the sexual hormones produced in the ovaries (or testes in men) and in the adrenal glands. Some symptoms include uterine bleeding, PMS, diminished libido and impotency in the male, water retention, accelerated aging, loss of energy, anxiety and depression...
TESTOSTERONE
was once considered an exclusively male hormone. Men produce 10 to 15 times more than women, but research over the past decade has demonstrated that this hormone also plays a definite role in women's physical and psychological health, particularly their sex drive. Testosterone which is significantly reduced following surgical or natural menopause regulates a woman's libido. Heightened libido is not the only benefit of testosterone; many women report that they have more energy and a greater sense of well-being.
ESTRADIOL, ESTRONE, and ESTRIOL
are the three basic estrogens. Estradiol is the prime or true ovarian estrogen secreted by the ovary.Estrone is an estrogen converted from estradiol by biosynthesis. Estrone is also converted from androstenedione which is also formed in the ovary but largely by the adrenal cortex. Estriol is a converted estrogen although a small amount may be secreted by the ovary. It is mainly converted in the liver from estrone and also by a more circuitous route from estradiol. The placenta secretes huge amounts.
PROGESTERONE LEVELS
under ideal conditions should begin to rise almost immediately following ovulation and continue to do so until menstrual flow begins. Estrogen levels are also climbing during this phase. Progesterone acts as an antagonist to estrogen and helps negate many of its adverse effects.
HORMONE REGULATION
A balancing of hormones for males and females is achieved by sublingually applied micro-doses of specific hormones that your body needs. This is determined by electrodermal testing.
In balancing hormones, progesterone is given usually in a low dilution as it is frequently lacking in the body. In this natural system a low dilution will actually supplement your body with required hormone. a high dilution i.e numbers 11 to 20 will actually neutralize or block that particular hormone which is causing problems due to its overabundance or it may represent a sensitivity to that hormone.Hormone balancing can be done in a simple office visit.
