A: The Pill Protects Against Cancer

[Guest guest]

Gibran,

In thinking about adaptive physiology could it be that the estrogen

supplied by the oral contraception is protective against xeno-

estrogens?

I base this on something learned at a seminar this past weekend.

While the presenter was talking about Hormone Replacement Therapy I

think this concept can be applied to oral contraception:

Given the estrogen saturation of the modern world, plastics and

pesticides, starved estrogen receptors will morph to satisfy their

hunger to have union with environmental estrogens. Once xeno-

estrogens occupy those receptor sites they are unable to be broken

down and hence over stimulate the proliferative responses to the

receptors thus risking proliferative activity. Low level HRT using

estriol, progesterone and minute amounts of estradiol

2%( sublingual)can saturate these receptors with easily degradable

forms of estrogen and prevent the environmental saturation.
