Natural Holistic Medicine - Men’s Full Health Care
Men are not without significant pressures of the world, just expected to carry it without complaining. Men have the same toxicities of the environment as women affecting their mind, body, and endocrine function. Andropause is a real term affecting American males on a younger and younger basis. Reading about andropause on www.obrienrx.com is a necessity if not for the guy for his wife.
Obesity affects 80% of Americans, with morbid (severe) obesity affecting 60% of us. That means men, women and children. Fat is being classified as it's own new endocrine function, meaning it makes it's own hormones. Fat is where the pesticides in our environment is concentrated. As one moves up the food chain more and more pesticide concentrates often to toxic levels we are not aware of.
So men as well need nutrients, exercise and supplementation hormonal back to normal blood levels of testosterone, DHEA, dihydrostestosterone, estradiol, and estrone. Yes, the last two are girl hormones. Men need a smidge, but not too much. With the xenoestrogens (false hormones) found in dairy, animal meats, plastics, and other environmental pressure the girl hormones can rise and the male hormones fall. Actually normal testosterone levels on the lab have dropped their normal levels in the last five years because they couldn't find enough men with the higher levels previously recorded. So, the medical community just lowers the normals on the lab rather than figure out why the men's testosterone levels are dropping. Infertility is on the rise and it is not all sperm count problems.
Testosterone for men and estrogen for women is not all for sexual organs and function. The heart is the next organ that demands hormones for normal function. The third organ requiring hormones for function is the brain. Brain fog (lack of concentration and calculation) is the most common presentation. Delivery of testosterone is unreliable through the skin which is the only way conventional medicine knows how to supplement. Note that there is no knowledge of how to supply DHEA, or androstindione if needed. Men as well as women need bio-identical natural hormones delivered by troche in a buccal delivery (inside the upper cheek and gum) form if depleted. Appropriate blood tests of specific hormones are needed for determination of need and to follow appropriate supplementation.
If you need your energy and body functions to improve then holistic care, medication management and options are a necessity. Take care of yourself, first for yourself, then for your family and friends.
