Penny’s Story: Total Hysterectomy:Total Hormone Imbalance

Man-made Chemicals Causing Hormone Disruption

GENEVA, Feb 19, 2013 (Reuters) – Man-made chemicals in everyday products are likely to be at least the partial cause of a global surge in birth deformities, hormonal cancers and psychiatric diseases, a U.N.-sponsored research team reported on Tuesday.

These substances, dubbed Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), could also be linked to a decline in the human male sperm count and female fertility, PMS, Endometriosis, Uterine Fibroids, hot flashes and an increase in breast, uterine and ovarian cancers.

Dr. Hansen has written and spoken out about this subject frequently over the past 5 years.  If you have wondered why it seems like you and everyone you know is having significant hormone issues this is the reason why. Watch this video to learn what you can do about it.

Growth Hormone -The Rejuvenation Hormone

Growth Hormone (GH ) is one of many endocrine hormones, like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone,  Melatonin and DHEA, that all decline in production as we age. Hormones are tiny chemical messengers continuously secreted in the bloodstream in order to regulate the activities of the vital systems of the body. The word “hormone” is derived from a Greek word meaning to stimulate. Many of these hormones can be replaced to deter the effects of aging.

GH supplementation has been found to reverse age-related symptoms including increased body fat, decreased muscle mass, increased cholesterol, decreased stamina and energy, decreased mental function, decreased collagen production, wrinkling of the skin and loss of libido. When GH levels fall below the optimal range, supplementation can boost the body’s internal supply and production. Continue reading

Government Lobbies are Running and Ruining Medicine

Does AARP really speak for the elderly? Or the AMA for doctors?

In Washington, AARP (the American Association of Retired Persons) and the AMA (American Medical Association) claim to represent the interests of retirees and doctors. But do these groups actually represent anything other than their own special interests and their own pockets?

Flu Vaccine Doubles Risk of More Serious Illness

Data collected from Canada and Hong Kong during 2009-2010 showed that people who received the seasonal flu vaccine in 2008 had twice the risk of getting the H1N1 “swine flu,” compared to those who hadn’t received a flu shot

While the initial findings were largely discounted, new research confirms the link between the flu vaccination and an increased risk of more serious bouts of pandemic illness.

Whooping Cough Epidemic is No Epidemic at All!

Whooping cough, caused by Bordetella pertussis, is a cyclical disease with natural increases that tend to occur every 5-7 years, no matter how high the vaccination rate is in a population using DPT/DTaP or Tdap vaccines on a widespread basis. Whole cell DPT vaccines used in the U.S. from the 1950′s until the late 1990′s were estimated to be 63 to 94 percent effective and studies showed that vaccine-acquired immunity fell to about 40 percent after seven years.

US Prevention Panel Recommends Against Drug Hormone Therapy

The US Preventive Services Task Force has recently reviewed the past ten years of research on the use of Pharmaceutical Hormone Therapy. The  analysis, published Monday, May 28, 2012, in the Annals of Internal Medicine, combines the results of nine previous clinical trials and found that women taking synthetic estrogen or a combination of synthetic estrogen and progestin (synthetic progesterone) lowered their risk of broken bones, but increased their chances of developing a host of other complications, including breast cancer, heart disease, strokes,  gallbladder disease and dementia.

Mammograms Over Diagnose Cancer by 15-25%

“Mammography might not be appropriate for use in breast cancer screening because it cannot distinguish between progressive and nonprogressive cancer,” said Mette Kalager, M.D., lead author of new research linking mammograms to significant overdiagnosis of breast cancer.

The new research conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) suggests that routine mammography screening — long viewed as an essential tool in detecting early breast cancers — may in fact lead to a significant amount of overdiagnosis of disease that would have proved harmless. Based on a study of 39,888 women in Norway, the researchers estimate that between 15 percent and 25 percent of breast cancer cases are overdiagnosed and cause women to undergo surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation needlessly.  Continue reading
