For Esther - Re: New/Old and Effective RA Treatment

[Guest guest]

>>>is it safe? what about breast cancer in response to various hormones.

(speaking from experience).<<<

Hi Esther,

This is a really good question and I'd like to know the answer, as well.

Though bio-indenticals are said to have a better track record in terms of breast

cancer (you might find it interesting to check out Suzanne Somers story), I've

also been mulling over hormone imbalances and endochrine dysfuntion, as these

might potentially relate to infectious theory just recently.

This is just a personal theory and I'm no scientist, but mycoplasmas are cell

wall deficient, pleomorphic organisms. We know this. However, they do have a

lipid outer layer that requires cholesterol to maintain. In order to survive,

therefore, mycos must sequester cholesterol from their host, as a primary food

source .

Cholesterol is a necessary building block for hormone production, so when the

host is competing with mycos for cholesterol, it would follow that hormone

imbalances would follow. This might also explain why women seem more predisposed

to RA during the perimenopause years, as normal hormone levels begin to wane.

Naturally lower levels of hormones leaves more free circulating cholesterol

and a perfect environment for mycos to thrive in.

Although this is just surmise on my part, this would beg the question...by

supplementing with hormones, natural or otherwise, are we feeding the mycos and

just keeping them happy? This would be much like the whole Vit D controversy.

Peace, Maz
