Re: Girls hit puberty earlier than ever

[Guest guest]

my daughter was followed by an endocrinologist from 5 to 8 due concerns of early

puberty and was discharged at 8 because puberty is now considered normal at 8.

That was 5 years ago now. She started her period at 10 and hasn't grown since-

she is 4'8 " . She wants to be 5' so bad. I wonder if women are going to be

shorter now that puberty starts so early.

Dr. JM,

is there a chance that Calcium-D-Glucarate would help w/my daughter's heavy,

prolonged periods. We've put her on bcp's to regulate her periods. We did a

trial off after a year w/o improvement.

My NT youngest daughter was 3 when she started to develop breast buds and pubic

hair ..

She went through test after test ... nothing.

The endrocrinologist suggested we change to non-hormone foods/milk and do away

with her hair grease (it had growth hormones in it ... sigh) . (at the time we

were not treating autism with gfcf stuff etc ...

She stopped developing ... She is typical now ... She is 11 and just starting

to develop ... and no cycle yet.

I think you are right ... It is the crap our kids are exposed to so young ...
