Estrogen estradiol? (Was: Medical News: Dietary Supplement / Cancer)

[Guest guest]

Hmm. I'd have to say that's interesting, Ken. Given one of the allowed forms

for tested athletes for birth control pills is estrogen estradiol.....how then

can one go " on the Pill " in your doc's thinking?

Aren't there birth control pills that use such things in combination with a form

of testosterone? Depo Provera? (name brand etc) or other like substances?

I'd be very interested to know just how a bacterial intake is supposed to

prevent a hormone uptake? Dr. Ralph, am I missing something on how the body

works? I mean, women make some test and if they take birth control pills with

estradiol?

Have to say I'm confused at present, I look to Dr. Ralph, possibly Krieger

or someone to light this one up for me. Thanks.

How utterly amazing: combining test with estradiol finds relationship

to several incidents of prostate cancer?

My physician places far greater emphasis on estradiol levels than PSAs

with respect to men and women - in terms of danger of prostate or

breast cancer onset. He recommends use of probiotics to provide

protection against estradiol reuptake. One study he mentions

demonstrates considerable increase in breast cancer incidents among

women on antibiotics for three months or longer due to compromised

probiotics resulting in heightened concentrations of estradiol due to

reuptake.

I use testosterone therapeutically. It is compounded with an aromatase

inhibitor to prevent conversion of testosterone to estradiol. Why on

earth someone would use a combination of test with estradiol confounds

imagination.
