Natural Holistic Medicine - Bioidentical Hormones

Natural bioidentical hormones are the only safe way to supplement our human needs of the body.  Natural means they should be made from plant products.  There is no way that derivatives from other mammals hormones will help a human.  An animal’s hormones are distinct for their DNA.  Giraffe hormones for giraffes, pigs for pigs, humans for humans.  The only delivery source that is safe for humans is in the troche or buccal delivery form.  This means dissolve slowly between the cheek and gum like chewing tobacco to dissolve the hormones directly and slowly into the blood stream.  This is like our body releasing hormones normally when we are fully functioning.   Anything swallowed has to be made too strong and is run through the liver.  Therein lies the problem with causing cancer.  So capsules that you swallow are dangerous and should not be used.  Creams are not reliable and consistent in their delivery amount to your body.   Skin changes it’s resistance, heat, and moisture and affect how much hormone you would be receiving.  Ups and downs are not the goal to normalize your body function. 

Compounded hormones are made by specific pharmacies with specialized training and equipment.  If they do not have this, they shouldn't be compounding.   Your troche should be made by pharmacist’s, not made by pharmacy technicians, nor made by technicians SUPERVISED by pharmacist’s.   The pharmacies troches should have assays done by an independent lab and available to you and your physician for review.  These should be spot checked frequently.  The assays need to be done on the finished troche not the precursor products.  Many pharmacies without the expensive equipment do not formulate their product without destroying the original product. 

Men enter andropause and are an analogous state to menopause with all it’s stages as well.  We all lose our hormones from the toxicities of our environment with pesticides, xenoestrogens,  tubal ligations, vascetomies, birth control pills and our diet from the agricultural supplements supplied to our feedstock animals.  In the United States our toxicities are huge, and our hormonal stress load reflects disease processes that are helped with natural bio-identical hormone supplementation.   Hormones run the functions of every cell in our body.  They are not just for sex organ function.  The second organ with hormone demand is the heart and the third is the brain.  Cholesterol metabolism and thyroid functions are all modulated with hormones.  The only way to monitor hormone levels are through blood serum testing.  Saliva testing is a con and has been proven repeatedly to be unreliable.  Make sure you go to a physician that is experienced with the five tests, sometimes six that are needed.  An FSH and LH takes an average of 10 years to show menopause.  Most physicians don’t even know what to order for andropause.  Find a physician who understands.  We are out there and willing to help.
