Way too many men and women are pouring "bioidenticals" into their body
in hopes of regaining "balanced hormones!"

It's not going to work...

Bioidentical hormones can be very beneficial for women who have had
hysterectomies. They have provided huge relief to those who would have
otherwise been forced to risk the more dangerous Hormone Replacement
Therapy (HRT). When used by this select population, under the careful
guidance of a health professional who uses blood tests to gauge and monitor
their safety and effectiveness, bioidentical hormones can provide a quality
of life that would not be available, otherwise.

But for others, it’s a shot in the dark.

That’s because “bioidenticals” are not really bioidentical, and over time,
they can desensitize our body from its own hormones, causing long term
consequences.

The term “bioidentical” is used to describe lab-created hormones known
as estradiol, estrone, estriol (sometimes simply referred to as
“estrogen”), progesterone, testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone
(DHEA). While they are similar to our own hormones and share the same name,
they are NOT “identical” as has been claimed. The atoms that make up
their structure – like the bricks of a home – are different than the
atoms used by the body to produce them. Unknown to most patients, this
important distinction is now well understood and has officially become a
part of college chemistry text books.

In a recent statement, The International Union for Pure and Applied
Chemistry underscores the difference between biological hormones produced
by the body and bioidentical hormones, which are commonly used by athletes
to gain a competitive edge:

“For the first time in history, a change will be made to the atomic
weights found in the inside covers of chemistry text- books worldwide. In
sports doping investigations, perfor- mance enhancing testosterone
considered bioidentical can be identified in the human body because the
atomic weight of natural human testosterone is higher than that of
pharmaceu- tical testosterone.”

This seemingly small molecular difference between “bioidenticals” and
those produced by the body can make for big side effects. But hormone
patients and athletes are unaware. Via the marketing ploys of “kick
starting your metabolism” and “slowing down the hands of time,” the
use of bioidentical hormones has spread widely into the aging and obese
populations who show low hormone production.

Admittedly, many users of bioidentical hormones report increased energy and
alertness. But outside of their use for women who have had a hysterectomy,
those who swear by the benefits of these chemicals are little different
from a bodybuilder who swears by the use of steroids. Like many drug
cocktails, bioidenticals can make people feel good. But their benefits can
be short term and there are risks.

Unlike biologically produced hormones, bioidenticals not only desensitize
our hormone receptors, they also bypass full processing in the liver. This
causes the counterfeits to slowly build up, or bioaccumulate, in the body.
As saturation continues, every “small” dose becomes a larger one in
time and our tissues become overwhelmed. This alters our internal hormone
landscape.

Like the wrong key being jammed into a lock, the body becomes severed from
its natural hormonal output, balance and sensitivity. A slew of dangerous
outcomes are possible, as shown by studies on the use of bioidentical
estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

Estrogen is made by men and women. However, it is the relative balance
between this and other hormones that dictates its powerful effects on
sexuality. Among a kaleidoscope of functions, estrogen directs thyroid
function by binding to the gland and stimulating activity in much the same
way that combustion in a car engine elicits wheel movement.

Too much estrogen puts thyroid cells into overdrive and raises the risk of
cancer by igniting uncontrolled cell growth. Scientists writing for the
Journal of Thyroid Research wrote that, “Carcinomas of the thyroid are
three-times more frequent in women than in men, and the peak rates occur
earlier in women. These epidemiological data suggest a role of estrogen in
the pathogenesis of thyroid diseases.”

Adding to the risk, uterine cancer is also cropping up among those with
high estrogen. Over time, the accumulation causes thickening of the uterine
wall, which strips cells of their innate ability to slough off and make way
for new ones. As the aging uterine cells stack up, they begin to decay, yet
continually replicate, giving rise to uncontrolled growth – cancer. To
offset the cancer risk, many physicians prescribe bioidentical
progesterone, which brings yet more risk!
