Duncan DATA on VCO and hormones

[Guest guest]

Duncan:

Thank you so much for asking. If you can read to the end of this email and

give me some advice, I'll send you a cheque.

In Dr. Fife's book The Coconut Oil Miracle, he says that VCO is SIMILAR to

Pregnenolone (the Mother of all hormones) and he is right. Pregnenolone

first makes DHEA which makes Androstenedione which makes Testosterone which

makes Estradiol. In that order.

And in that very order, my levels are very elevated after several months of

using ONLY 2 tablespoons per day.

So VCO does NOT have hormones IN IT PER SEY but this Pregnenolone (similar

to) your body would USE to make the hormones. Do you see what I'm saying?

His books have information from people talking about how their Menopause WAS

WIPED OUT and other Testimonials on their hormones. Somehow you missed that

information.

In Fife's book Saturated Fat May Save Your Life he says-talking about

Sterols (which make hormones) in VCO " The greatest degree of protection

comes to those who have a healthy digestive tract, because the type of flora

present will affect the production of the Phytochemicals " .

How true that is. The Candida population is what's putting everything out of

whack for me. So I need to be intensive with that HOWEVER with hormones so

high, I couldn't tolerate a lot of things.

I'm sure you know about Progesterone used (topically) and I guess I was

using too much for a few years. I sent a Blood Spot Test to ZRT Lab in

Beaverton, Oregon and it showed VERY HIGH Progesterone. Here is some info

about Candida and Progesterone.

There has been a lot of research done on progesterone ~ and how it

influences candida growth. Here are some quotes:

" Back to Health " by Dennis W. Remington, M.D.:

Many believe that PMS is related to progesterone: symptoms worsen when

progesterone levels are high, and are minimal or absent when progesterone is

also absent.

1. Progesterone seems to enhance yeast growth and activity: At times when

progesterone levels are high - such as during pregnancy or when a woman is

taking progesterone-containing birth control pills - vaginal " yeast

infection " is common, and many symptoms of candidiasis are worse. The same

thing happens during the premenstrual phase of the cycle.

Toxins Produced by Candida may interfere with the transport of progesterone

and other hormones into the various cells. Most hormones must act on some

internal part of the cells, and can only do their job if they get inside.

And being Diabetic might have something to do with this 'out of control'

Candida. What are your thoughts on that?

Bonnie, I haven't found research that mentions VCO contains hormones,

or the actual level of hormonal precursors if any. Where did you get

your information?

The information I DO have is that hops tea is probably the most potent

common souce of phytoestrogens. One can usually pick and dry hops in

the fall for free as it's something of a backyard weed.
