menopause and the years preceding it (peri-menopause) are causally connected to the condition of Estrogen Individuals in Menopause and/or with signs of low thyroid, Dominance, a term coined by John Lee, M.D., (What Your fibroids, endometriosis and overall symptoms of too much Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause). The name estrogen including: breast tenderness, fibrocystic breasts, refers to a prolonged state of estrogen excess (particularly mood swings, vasomotor fluctuations, (hot flashes &/or in relation to progesterone) common to the waning of night sweats) irritability, anxiety, fat gain (hips and thighs) reproductive hormones with age, but exacerbated by exposure to the plethora of synthetic "xenohormones"such as HRT, pesticides and pollutants in our environment.
The Problem
Saliva testing is a simple, reliable means for detecting estrogen dominance as it measures only the fraction of The scientific literature is clear (www.salivatest.com for hormones that have left the bloodstream and are active complete references) that an excess of estrogen or in the tissues of the breast, uterus, brain, bones and estrogen activity at the cell level is a root cause of breast skin. This "bioavailable" measurement can detect long cancer. We know too, that hormone imbalances triggered hidden hormone imbalances and more closely correlates by the use of synthetic hormone combinations ( Premarin, with the clinical picture. Because hormones work Prempro, Premphase, Provera) can have deadly together to create a balanced internal milieu, its important consequences. The most recent definitive study, The to test all of the following to determine estrogen Womens Health Initiative Trial, was abruptly cancelled in July 2002 when it showed a greater risk vs. benefit for a · Estradiol (E2) the most potent of the estrogens
majority of diseases it was thought to be preventing: · Progesterone (Pg)
· A 41% increase in strokes
· Testosterone
· A 29% increase in heart attacks
· A 26% increase in breast cancer
· Cortisol (Adrenal Function)
· A 22% increase in total CVD
· A doubling of the rate of blood clots
Benefits
· A possible contributor to Alzheimer's disease
Key to hormone balance is the knowledge that when estrogen becomes the dominant hormone and progesterone is deficient, estrogen becomes toxic to In Premenopausal Women:
the body. At ZRT we monitor symptoms and hormone Ovulation or lack of (anovulation) followed by insufficient usage and relate these back to tested hormone levels to provide more diagnostic clues than are available with At PeriMenopause (30s-mid-50s):
standard tests. In this way, saliva testing can assist Lack of ovulation or erratic cycles, when estrogen levels detection of previously undiagnosed disorders, and serve fluctuate rapidly from high to low in the absence of as a rational basis for treatment to relieve symptoms PostMenopause:
An excess of estrogen to progesterone in waning reproductive years when ovarian production of estrogen declines up to 60% but progesterone levels can drop to nearly zero with the cessation of ovulation.
