 Although some pharmaceutical companies are now manufacturing standard dosages of BHRT, it is more typical for a doctor to write a prescription for the exact amount of the hormones that your body needs. A compounding pharmacist will then mix your individualized prescription on site.
If you have never had your prescriptions filled by a compounding pharmacist, here are some facts you should know:
• Every compounding pharmacy is licensed and inspected by the State Pharmacy Board. |
| This is critical because, as the many layers of the oily globule of liposome melt away like a snowball, the hormones are dispersed continuously through the skin for up to twelve hours. This means that the underlying issue of hormonal imbalance is eliminated, hormonal balance is restored and my patients have continuous relief of their symptoms throughout the day. In contrast, many over-the-counter progesterone creams are not formulated for sustained release. |
| Saliva Testing
Convenient home collection, accurate, and inexpensive, saliva testing provides a true picture of the bioavailable levels of steroid hormones.
2. Capillary Blood Spot Testing
Capillary blood spot testing offers an easy, finger-stick alternative to blood draws in the doctor's office.
3. Combination Saliva and Capillary Blood Spot Combines both saliva and capillary blood spot test materials in an all-in-one test kit for easy home collection of the major hormone groups—reproductive, adrenal, and thyroid—on the same day at the optimal time.

| As a woman approaches her midthirties, the balance of hormones within her body begins to shift, starting with a decline in progesterone. In fact, progesterone production declines 120 times more rapidly than does estrogen production. It is this downward shift in progesterone production that causes the body to become estrogen dominant.
Contrary to the popular belief that estrogen is solely a female hormone, men can also be estrogen dominant. In men, progesterone is produced in the adrenal and testicular tissue. |

Sticking to this nutritional plan will go a long way toward balancing your hormones and will help you lose weight; however, for those wanting to get rid of estrogen dominance and belly fat quickly and for good, there are two more important steps you have to take. The next two chapters will tell you exactly what they are.
USE PROGESTERONE-THE SIMPLE WAY TO A FLAT BELLY
Although the title of this chapter might sound too good to be true, the success of thousands of patients has shown this to be a reality. |
| Once a doctor has determined which hormones are deficient, he or she can write a prescription for a formulation of BHRT to address your unique needs.
Patients come to see me from all over the world because it's not always easy to find a physician who has experience diagnosing hormone imbalances and BHRT as the preferred treatment. BHRT is not yet taught in medical schools, and most physicians remain uneducated about it.
However, since the World Health Institute has begun detailing the significant health risks of synthetic hormone replacement, this trend is shifting. |

 Many such studies were tainted because it is virtually impossible to enlist women for study who have not taken some form of exogenous hormones?the birth-control pill, the morning-after pill, or HRT—at some point in their lives. Consequently, none of the studies has a clean control group of true "nontakers," with which to compare results. Women who take hormones now are compared with women who have taken hormones in the past. Both situations carry a cancer risk. The same "tainting" would apply to these prayer studies. |

 Although estrogenic hormones enhance the growth of livestock by as much as 20 percent, many consumers were becoming wary of the use of hormones and other animal drugs.43
"My brother and sister-in-law were shopping at a health food store and they found that a lot of their friends and acquaintances were looking for beef that was raised without hormones and antibiotics," he said. "So we took some calves and fattened them naturally, and we called them natural beef."
Initially, they met opposition from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which argued that there was no definition for natural beef. |

 It's all the same hormone in the milk -- genetically engineered milk does not contain genetically engineered hormones. It works on the brain to stimulate the cow to make milk containing more hormones. But it's the same hormones you would get in an organic glass of milk, and those hormones are dangerous. The good old wholesome milk hormones are dangerous. The ones that we thought were so wholesome are so dangerous, and shouldn't be in your body.
Continue with part five. |

 And those substances have names -- they are lactopherins, immunoglobins -- you don't want to eat estrogen everyday, and progesterone, and proactin and melatonin and oxytocin, and I can go on and on and name 59 different hormones in every sip of milk. That's what milk is -- it's a hormonal delivery system. And you don't want dog hormones or pig hormones. You don't want cow hormones. You don't even, as an adult, want human breast milk hormones.
Mike Adams: That's right -- it's perfect food for infants, but not for adults. |

 DHEA
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which is manufactured in the body and secreted by the adrenal glands, has been called the "mother of all hormones" because it serves as a precursor to both male and female sex hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen. Actually, that label is somewhat inaccurate, because cholesterol serves as the key starting point for the production of all sex hormones. Today, DHEA is perhaps best known for its role in aging.
DHEA levels in the body begin to decline after age thirty. Along with aging, declining levels of DHEA are associated with higher glucose levels. |
| It just so happens that the hormones psychologists call stress hormones are the same ones that can significantly impact blood glucose levels, and that these hormones (e.g., Cortisol, epinephrine [also known as adrenaline], norepinephrine, and growth hormone) can have a serious negative impact on glucose metabolism unless they are controlled. Fortunately, simple stress-management techniques can be very successful at controlling hormone and glucose levels in people with diabetes when they are practiced regularly. |

 This led the authors to conclude that hormones like cortisone whose secretion is augmented by stressful stimuli can act synergistically with other hormones to maintain homeostasis when the levels of the stress-related hormones bear a specific relation to the concentrations of the other hormones.
A number of substances of microbiologic (Farrow et al., 1978; Kaemmerer and Kietzmann, 1983) or plant origin (Brekhman and Dardymov, 1969; Ciplea and Richter, 1988; Wagner et al., 1994) have shown adaptogenic effects in experimental animals. |

 I am continually amazed at how many chronic diseases can be halted and, many times, cured through the use of natural, bioidentical hormones.
Man has searched for a fountain of youth for thousands of years. Although there is no "cure" for aging, my clinical experience has shown that natural hormones, when used appropriately, can slow down many of the signs of aging including deteriorating mental function, loss of muscle tone, and wrinkled skin. Hormone production peaks when we are young, usually in the age range from 20 to 30. |

 Furthermore, any notions of the use of radiation in cellular communication were utterly swept aside in the middle of the twentieth century, with the discovery of hormones and the birth of biochemistry, which proposed that everything could be explained by hormones or chemical reactions."
By the time that Popp had his light machine, he was more or less on his own with regard to a radiation theory of DNA. Nevertheless, he doggedly pressed on with his experiments, learning more about the properties of this mysterious light. |

 When the hypothalamus perceives the markers of inflammation, it responds by producing anti-inflammatory hormones. These hormones are produced by your adrenal glands, which sit on your kidneys. The major hormone produced is Cortisol. In this way, the inflammatory discomfort in your intestines stimulates a gland in your brain to send a message to the adrenals to produce more stress hormones. If this only happens now and again, it will not have any deleterious effects on your body. |

 US shoppers reject rbGH 2006-07
The Boston Globe reported in September 2006 that "The region's biggest dairies are rushing to rid their bottled milk of artificial growth hormones." They wrote "If more dairies jump on board, it could be a tipping point in the long-running debate about the safety of using synthetic hormones to spur milk production."14
Two weeks later, the manager of a milk producers' co-op told the New York Times, "It seems to be an explosion in the industry.... All of a sudden we have national processors like Dean Foods taking entire plants hormone-free. |

 Perhaps it is the steroid growth hormones typically present in the milk and meat; these hormones (which occur naturally in meat and milk but are often augmented in industrial production) are known to promote certain kinds of cancer.
Or, as I mentioned, the problem with a meat-heavy diet might not even be the meat itself but the plants that all that meat has pushed off the plate. We just don't know. But eaters worried about their health needn't wait for science to settle this question before deciding that it might be wise to eat more plants and less meat. |

 For example, cholesterol is a building block for steroid hormones, such as sexual hormones and cortisone, it is converted into vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight, and it is involved in the biosynthesis of bile salts, which are important for the intestinal absorption of fats. Cholesterol is also important during the metabolism of carbohydrates and acts as a vehicle to transport fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A and E and beta-carotene) in the bloodstream. It also supplies material for building cell membranes, especially in nervous tissue. |

 Beef hormones" are not something to be avoided if you are a fan of organic meat, but the principle that one country cannot ban the ingredients in food from another country without substantial scientific evidence to back it up; the EU lost that challenge by the United States in 1988 at the GATT, but rather than comply has opted to pay about one hundred million dollars a year in penalties on exports to the United States to keep growth-stimulating hormones out of European beef.
One of the most significant trade decisions, however, has spun a different way in the long haul of history. |
