Re:Interaction of Synthetic Estrogens & Hg Toxicity

[Guest guest]

I've been studying synthetic estrogen activity and found quite a

list of contraindications are listed on the flyer included with

my 'patch' systems that weren't listed in the past, including but

not limited to: " exacerbation " of hepatic hemangiomas (two large

ones were found via CAT scan 5 yrs ago), migraine, dementia, fluid

retention, breast tenderness & fibrocystic disease (mine are

called 'calcifications' ), IBS/constipation, bloating, thyroid

problems (mine include Hashimoto's/ very high antibody titers),

increased thyroid-binding & sex binding hormones, arthralgias

(osteoarthritis & bursitis), immune weakness, etc. Although they

haven't affected me (to my knowledge), heart problems,

glucose/insulin problems, & venous issues/stroke risk are also

listed. One can't help but notice this list is quite similar to

that associated with amalgam toxicity.

I am so glad that you have discovered the terrible effects of synthetic

hormones! When I was looking into them, I was lucky enough to come up on the

information you have posted regarding their ill effects on our bodies. I could

not believe that doctors would even prescribe them after knowing this

information. Anyhow, there is a support group for hormone-related issues here

on Yahoo.

The address is: HormonesandHealth-Naturally

clued me into this group, so " hat tip " to her.

My feeling is that natural hormones are the best for our bodies, because they

are recognized by the receptor cells, and they perform very similarly to our

natural hormones.

I'm not sure of the effect and Hg, but my guess would be that there is a

connection. I feel that my progesterone levels have risen in the last few

months of chelation, so it would not be a big leap to guess that my estrogen

levels are rising, as well. These are just educated guesses, as I am not able

to test at this time.

Thanks. In all honesty, I doubt many doctors have the time required

to read all the fine print that now comes with synthetic ERT.

Because I'd had a child recently, everything started with an OB who

probably didn't get into great depth with gynecology/surgically

induced menopause issues. Without " parts " to worry about, I only

saw MD's during the early years on medication. None referred me to

a specialist despite the problems, but when I found a female OB/Gyn,

she didn't know any more than the rest of them. I remember PPO

physician lists, narrowed down by doctors actually accepting new

patients and within reasonable driving distances, making it

difficult to get help, too.

From the pharmacy, I receive 3 levels of info: one is a simple

computer printout (and you'd never guess it's only hinted at a

couple of the possible effects of the medication), the second is a

little more detailed from the manufacturer, also easy to read, found

on the flip side of application info (which you wouldn't look at

once you get started). The 3rd unfolds to a huge sheet. It's

detailed, includes technical lingo, in a barely legible type size,

with some sections including some problems to be aware of (so if you

find one of them & read it you'll think you've found it all).

There's 3-4 more related sections scattered in, each having both

common & different potential health consequences discussed.

It could be worse & be like my Cytomel - coming with no info beyond

the pharmacy's simple, minimal printout once a year.

Apparently our protection rests with our own ability to both take

the time and to study the pharmaceuticals in depth. Now I feel like

I'm ready to tackle a class in organic chemistry and certainly wish

I had a long time ago.

I did speak with my compounded pharmacist, who said synthetic

estradiol is the only form of that particular estrogen and it's what

goes into the compounded versions.

Did you say that you had recently had a child? Are you Rh negative? If so, did

you have a Rho-Gam shot? I ask because they contain mercury.

I was kind of confused by your post, because it sounds like you had your

uterus removed?(Not to be nosy, just clarifying)

Anyhow, when I discovered that the Rho-gam shot had mercury in it, the pieces

of the puzzle started coming together, as far as my slow decline in health. An

internist that I was seeing had made the comment that there was a connection

between hypothyroidism and women who've borne children. Well, duh...did it not

occur to her that there may be a deeper reason behind women who've given birth

and hypothyroidism (such as being poisoned with mercury??)
