Balancing Estrogen levels naturally

[Eaglewings]

I came upon this article searching out some information and found it has some tidbits that are interesting in it for those trying to balance out their hormones with food stuffs. Hormones regulate so many things internally its worth taking the time to learn about which ones do what.

12 Tips to Balance Estrogen Levels Naturally

I would put this in the same category as holistic snake oil salesman, he's trying to sell you his products which may or may not help.
What kind of doctor is he? Doctor of medicine? Doctor of chemistry? Doctor of physics? Doctor of aeronautics?

Like I said there are bits of info in the article. You don't have to buy anything but the links to the studies are also in that.

Yeah, I know about those and they're all old and outdated. The supposed link between estrogen replacement and breast cancer, higher risk of heart disease which everyone quotes was a study done on synthetic estrogen ONLY, natural estrogen replacement not only doesn't cause those increased risks they're beneficial in many other ways.
The problem is that study was done very recently and the word is still getting out. We found out from the wife's OB who had just finished a training seminar on exactly this subject last year, changed everything she originally had been told about estrogen replacement.

Do some research on your own too...This is a OB -Gyn telling you this..yes she went to a convention but she is not an oncologist..
I am not feeling really well right now..but when I feel a bit better I will get you some links..

Estrogen cream vaginally is said to not get into the blood ( Stanford doctors told me that ) but taking anything orally will...Do you have any links on this from your doctor?

No links and I'm more than familiar with how doctors use medical studies and how medical studies are done than most people. I would trust my wife's OB over any oncologist as what actually causes cancers is still correlative and not empirical except in extremely limited cases. Docs typically just repeat what they've been told by researchers.

I wish I studied on my own...but you need to do what you need to do.

I have been through breast cancer 2 times. I have had so many surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation over the last 5 years of being a survivor..It came back 2 years ago this month...I had to do it allover again.

The breast cancer surgeon specialist missed tissue the first time, so it came back and got out of my lymph nodes into my body which means it can show up anywhere now ..

I have been to support groups of many women where the cancer has spread into their body (like mine ) many of them are dying or on drugs to keep them alive.. these are personal stories.. many of them have estrogen positive cancer..

10 years ago it was considered the best thing to eat tons of soy because it was a natural way , today they tell women to stay away from it ..

My good friend is a doctor, and had the gene blood test done which is affordable. It measures the mutations in your body and % of breast cancer risk in the future. This is not the estrogen level blood test.. She was considered high risk for breast cancer and is now on a anti estrogen drug to take the estrogen's out of her body ..

It is a blood test...

I can not tolerate that anti estrogen drug..it is horrible

Anyway I won't give you any links..Blessings to you and your wife..

We can see the ambiguity: the 27kDa heat-shock protein in breast cancer is an ambiguously-behaving Janus protein. We again look to Nature for the resonance in lichens:

Iceland / Estrogen / Xanthoria elegans
Evaluation of selected lichens from iceland for cancer chemopreventive and cytotoxic activity. - PubMed - NCBI

 

[badger2]

Pubmed search 'estrogen[AND]lichens' which retrieved the Xanthoria elegans abstract and one other:

Aspergillus / Orsellinic Acid / Streptomyces hygroscopicus
Intimate bacterial-fungal interaction triggers biosynthesis of archetypal polyketides in Aspergillus nidulans. - PubMed - NCBI

Streptomyces hygroscopicus from Easter Island (Rapa Nui) produces rapamycin, linking to mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin).

'Xanthoria elegans (Link) Th. Fr. This species grows on limestones, old bones, bird perch rocks, sometimes on old wood. It is circumpolar arctic to boreal and is sometimes so abundant that it is conspicuous in the landscape. In Wisconsin it is scattered over the state, although most collections are from the bluffs of the Driftless Area.'

Notice that orsellinic acid derivatives have potent anti-HIV-1 activity and for what it's worth, boiling everninic and ramalic acids in barium hydroxide also produce it. It is beneficial to find virus-immune system links to this chemistry in comparison to drug-resistant cancer cells.

The estrogenic/anti-estrogenic parameter for X. elegans is intriguing, though apparently no specific compound links to this activity. The acarologist Harry Hoogstraal described an extremely strange form of Ixodes tick from the cold deserts of Ladakh.

Ladakh / Xanthoria elegans
Antioxidant capacities, phenolic profile and cytotoxic effects of saxicolous lichens from trans-Himalayan cold desert of Ladakh. - PubMed - NCBI
'....highest antioxidant capacity in terms of beta-carotene linoleic acid bleaching property was observed in the water extract of Xanthoria elegans.'
