Bill Parsons Replace Hormones With Bioidentical – It’s Natural
Bioidentical is a compound word that means: bio is defined as life; living organism and identical is alike in every way; the same. Put the two together and it means anything that is composed of the same type of substance of a living organism. The usage of the word bioidentical in this modern day is in reference to a natural hormone that has the identical cellular structure of the human body.
The popular thinking of this day and age is not about bioidentical natural hormone replacement ” popular thinking is usually concerned with synthetic hormones. The popular idea is that a body cannot use a natural substance to create the hormones needed, therefore synthetic hormones are used. The problem with popular thinking is that it does not require you to think at all by Kevin Meyers. Is popular thinking smart thinking?
Why hormone therapy?
We are what we eat has been a common saying, there is some truth to that because hormones are chemical substances that are produced in the body from the sustenance that we give our bodies. Once manufactured, the hormones are delivered via the blood to different organs to get the functional activity to occur.
From the age of 35 and each year thereafter, the amount of hormones created in the body decreases. Among the thirty-nine different hormones that are manufactured by our bodies are estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
Should we be with out these hormones in perimenopause (the time prior to menopause) and menopause years? Climacteric symptoms ” ones that indicate the period of decrease of reproductive capacity in men and women, culminating, in women, in the menopause, can span over 30 years from age 35 to 70 years. The first hormone that declines is progesterone (causes anxiety, irritability 15 years before menopause) followed by Estrogen (causes hot flashes and vaginal dryness, may last up to 2-3 years in 75% and in the rest can last way longer) and then Testosterone which is required to maintain muscle mass and strength and libido.
Should we just let nature take its course and suffer through? NO!!
Do Hormones Have Anything to Do With Cancer?
There are 3 forms of naturally occurring estrogens in a human female body, Estrone, Estriol, and Estradiol. Out of these only one i.e. Estrone is clot forming and breast stimulating causing cancer. Horse or equine estrogens, that are synthetic hormones in use today, have no Estriol, which is the most protective estrogen (it is anti-cancer), and it has 40% of equine (horse) estrogens, not exactly compatible to human female hormones.
Bioidentical hormones are made either from Soy or Yam and modified in the lab to be exactly the same as human hormones. Synthetic progesterone causes weight gain, irritability, acne, migraine, fluid retention and bad cholesterol ratio which in turn causes other body problems. Synthetics are given daily which is not the female cycle ” it only naturally occurs for 15 days of every month.
Bioidentical progesterone gives improved mood, less irritability, less bloating, a relief from hot flashes, plus a decrease of other symptoms such as digestive problems, flatulence, and loss of memory. Bioidentical progesterone also reduces breast tenderness and reduces vaginal bleeding.
Synthetic progesterone hormones create unhappy women, a lessened quality of life, higher levels of bad cholesterol that can lead to coronary problems, a loss of memory and less bone density. On the other hand, bioidentical progesterone creates the opposite because it is compatible with the human body thus it makes for a happier, healthier life.
Why is there a higher risk of cancer problems during menopause?
As the hormonal imbalance starts to occur in a womens body, estrone levels become way too high which are cancer causing and there is too little progesterone in the body, which is cancer protective. When we replace hormones in women we balance the ratios of various estrogens and progesterone naturally. This improves the overall quality of life and we get stronger and happier women.
