Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Hi Wanita, Welcome! Glad to have you on the list and really appreciate your questions and comments. Dr. Rind had me on one supplement for my liver, Xymogen's Lipotropix, that had 200mg Taurine, 1000mg Inositol Hexanicotinate, and 400mg Methionine. I took 3/day for 4 months. Actually just finished the last bottle today and wasn't planning to get more - have not noticed anything from taking it. He also had me on 500 mg Calcium D-Glucarate 2/day for about the last 6 months. Is that the same as D-GAL? What do you think? I really appreciate the help!

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hi Sharon, Looks like Calcium D-Glucarate is thought to be a precursor to D-GAL. http://www.drweizer.com/breastcancerresearchsummaries.htm D-Glucaro-1,4-lactone, a derivative of D-glucaric acid, inhibits ß-glucuronidase, reducing the rate of deglucuronidation and thereby increasing the detoxification of carcinogens and tumor promoters. D-Glucaric acid is found in some fruits and vegetables, including apples, grapefruit, bean sprouts, and cruciferous vegetables. In addition to its positive effects on detoxification, it also seems to regulate the synthesis of cholesterol and steroid hormones.Walaszek Z et al. Metabolism, uptake, and excretion of a D-glucaric acid salt and its potential use in cancer prevention. Cancer Detect Prev 1997;21:178-190. Calcium D-glucarate Animal studies have demonstrated that increasing the net glucoronidation of carcinogens reduces the likelihood of chemically induced carcinogenesis. Inhibition of the enzyme ß-glucuronidase, which catalyzes deglucoronidation, should therefore be protective against carcinogen-mediated tumorigenesis. Supplementation of the diet with calcium D-glucarate decreases ß-galactosidase activity in the liver, lung, and GI microsomes of rodents, and has been shown in other studies to inhibit carcinogen-induced carcinogenesis in animals. Many drugs and toxins, or their metabolites, are substrates for glucoronidation, so this is a potentially powerful method of chemoprevention. The probable mechanism of action of calcium D-glucarate is the conversion of about a third of it to glucaro-1,4-lactone, which is a specific inhibitor of the enzyme.Dwivedi C et al. Effect of calcium glucarate on ß-glucuronidase activity and glucarate content of certain vegetables and fruits. Biochem Med Metabol Biol 1990;43:83-92. Wanita Hi Wanita, Welcome!

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hi , I am assuming you are hyperthyroid? Have you been diagnosed with a blood test? I am leery of a diagnosis of estrogen dominance with a Vega machine and feel it would not be wise to take supplements based on that. I have discovered the hard way that the " everyone is estrogen dominant " theory that seems to be so pervasive is a myth, that in fact many women, even younger ones, are showing estrogen deficiency, and the progesterone cream that so many use is used in doses that are too high and build up in the tissues resulting in toxic doses eventually. Also, taking something that alters your estrogen can affect your thyroid, since high estrogen suppresses it and low estrogen can result in hyperness. I would suggest serum testing of hormones, if you feel those are really a problem for you, since serum testing is the gold standard for fertility clinics and experts. -- In hyperthyroidism , " wirihananz " <anna_vanw@...> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm hoping that or one of the veterans of this site can answer a > question of two for me. > > I recently saw my naturopath and she diagnosed that I am deficient in > the following: > B2, B6, B12, Folic Acid, Vit C, Vit E, Mag, Iron, Zinc and Selenium > (she used a Vega test machine to make this diagnosis). > The test also showed that I have too much estrogen, and she is > recommending that I take Metagenics products Estrofactors and > Menstrocare to balance out hormones etc. My naturopath checked with > Metagenics, who say that these products would only have a beneficial > effect on my thyroid. > > My last blood test (from my doctor) showed that my thyroid levels are > all within the normal range, so I have stopped taking medication for > hyperT. > > The Vega test also showed that my gall bladder, ovaries and thyroid > are all not functioning properly. > > Do you have any opinions about my naturopaths recommendations, or what > picture my deficiencies/symptoms give? > > Thanks for your time, > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 , Can you post your thyroid test results? Many docs don't do the right test, and even if they do don't read them correctly and will tell you that you are normal just because the levels are in range, which doesn't mean much by itself. When you post the levels, be sure to include the ranges, since each labs is different. Assuming it's not your thyroid, it sounds to me like you have estrogen deficiency, since those are the same symptoms I get with low E. Let us know how it all works for you. > > Hi , > > Thanks for your reply. > > My last blood test showed my thyroid levels as being all in the normal > range.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Thanks for links I can probably try Chaste Tree but I am afraid to take more hormones bc of candida, reflux, and adenomyoma - fibroid I have. I also can`t tolerate amino acids so diet is my only hope for now. It is difficult to diet bc I have wolf-like appetite and hypoglicemia.I am slim but I have some fat around the belly. In low - estrogen diet article it is written that I should reduce total calories intake but at the same time I should eat more fiber to eliminate estrogen from intestines. Most of calories come from fiber food so it is very controvercial diet. , I eat only organic and grass fed food and most of my supplements are organic.This one is not organic but hypoallergic and has no much ingredients. It is from Allergy Research Group. > > > > I thought fat cells stored estrogen, and as you lose weight the estrogen > > gets released and causes more free-flowing estrogen in the body.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Hello, If a person is considered estrogen dominace - is that a result of candida or something else? Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 It may be related to candida as candida fungus does mess up the hormonal levels, but more than fungus it is an amino acid and mineral issue connected to a perpetual state of negative emotions potentially. With out knowing more it is hard to advise.
