Why Taking Synthetic or Bio-identical Hormones are Damaging

[Guest guest]

I caution anyone about the (www.ditchthepill.org) website, even though they are

correct about synthetic hormones.

They are not correct about taking bio-identical hormones, since taking any kind

of hormones, whether natural or synthetic, has a much more powerful effect on

the body's health than other kinds of substances.

I learned about bio-identical hormones through my friend, when she was 70 years

old. Even though I warned her not to take them, she followed her Osteopathic

doctor's advice. After she took bio-identical hormones for 4 years she started

bleeding, and got it checked out.

Her uterus was building up a lining as if she were menstruating again, and she

had a cyst on her ovary and a polyp in her uterus. She stopped taking them, and

within 4 months her bleeding stopped and the cyst and polyp disappeared.

The reason hormones have such a powerful effect on health is because hormones

have many functions as the body's messengers. They are referred to as

" signalers. "

NOTE THIS: They are so important that all other signals within the cells are

ignored when a hormonal signal is sent.

Not only do hormones send signals throughout the body to keep the communications

lines open, but they also can help perform specific biochemical functions. For

example, if you cut yourself, your body sends out signals to repair and replace

tissues, which are growth hormones.

The main reason women have female-related problems is because their sex

hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, etc. are imbalanced and/or lacking.

There are two types of hormones in the body:

1) Anabolic hormones that involve anabolic processes (anabolism), build

molecules, tissues and even organs in the body, which includes sex hormones,

insulin, and growth hormones produced in the pituitary gland in the head which

are responsible for tissues repair, cell regeneration, and building new tissues

as needed.

2) Catabolic hormones that involve catabolic processes (canabolism), break down

substances into

simpler ones, which include thyroid hormones which function as general

stimulators of many cellular reactions, hormones produced by the adrenal glands

such as cortisol, and others.

The body strives to always balance out its anabolic and catabolic processes,

however when it is unhealthy it isn't as able to balance them as it could when

it is healthy.

Also toxins, including birth control pills, drugs, etc. make all of the body's

cell membranes stiff/rigid, which means any organs or tissues involved in

producing hormones are not as able to do their job (function normally), and

hormones that may be produced are not as able to get into stiff/rigid cells

where they are needed to do their job.

Such imbalances in hormones can happen long before puberty, and it can start

before birth due to a poor " nutritional status " acquired from parents upon

conception.
