Alternative Estrogen Dominance Treatment:
What we generally think of as diseases, may not be diseases at all. They may be only symptoms of the true disease, which is a nutritional and hormonal deficiency. Hormonal deficiency causes Estrogen Dominance. There is no hormone called Estrogen. Estrogen is a name given, to denote three hormones, Estrone, Estradiol and Estriol. Hormones are not male or female, they exist in both men and women.
As we age, our nutrient absorption weakens and our hormones become out of balance. This happens for a number of reasons. When our stomach acid is too low, we do not get proper absorption of nutrients. This condition also causes heartburn, acid reflux and gerd. Some Allopathic doctors will prescribe ant-acids, which only kill more stomach acid and make the situation worse. At this point you get a temporary relief, because you have less stomach acid. To fix the problem you may need to take HCL to lower the stomach ph. Keep in mind, that if your doctor does not know this, it may be time to find another doctor.
Now that we have a better understanding, of the nutritional side of the problem, lets tackle the hormonal side. Again, as we age, we ( both men and women ) begin to lose both Progesterone and Testosterone. We also start gaining the very powerful hormone, Estradiol. Estradiol is about 300 times more potent in the body, than either progesterone or testosterone and therefore it occupies the cell sites, that should be occupied by progesterone and testosterone. To overcome this problem, we need to supplement with progesterone and testosterone. For information on hormone Saliva Testing: Click Here
As an example, if your Estradiol was 2.0 pg/ml as found with a saliva test, then Progesterone and Testosterone could be applied ( on the skin ) transdermaly or ( under the tongue ) sublingualy, in a quantity that would drive the estradiol down, between .5 pg/ml and .9 pg/ml. The amount of progesterone and testosterone necessary to achieve this Estradiol level ( transdermaly or sublingualy ), according to Dr. John R. Lee is about 8 mg. progesterone and 2 mg. testosterone for MEN and about 25 mg. progesterone and 1/4 mg. testosterone for WOMEN. This level will vary from person to person, with the starting point as mentioned above. Both hormones can be compounded into a transdermal creme, or into a troche, that can be taken sublingualy.

To simplify this, we need to know that we can defeat the symptoms, of what we have been told by allopathic doctors are diseases. When we get our nutrition and hormones balanced, we can begin to strengthen our Immune System, which is the only way we are going to correct the true disease, nutritional and hormonal deficiency.
