In the early 1970s, the tragic health impacts
of diethylstilbestrol (DES), an
estrogen - based drug that was thought to prevent miscarriage, introduced the possibility
of hormone disruption as a threat to

of estrogens in the environment.
Dr. Mack's research has focused primarily on the use

In this report the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH) explores the endocrine disrupter hypothesis, which asserts that certain (primarily man - made) chemicals act as, or interfere with,
human hormones (specifically
estrogens) in the body and thus cause a range
of defects and diseases related to the endocrine system.
Humans are exposed through their diet to estrogenic substances (substances having an effect similar to that
of the
human hormone
estrogen) found in many plants.
These results, also presented at the 2015 European Cancer Congress (ECC2015, abstract # 5BA) today, which involve the group
of 1,626 patients with a Recurrence Score between 0 and 10, demonstrated that 99.3 percent
of node - negative,
estrogen receptor (ER)- positive,
human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)- negative patients who met accepted guidelines for recommending chemotherapy in addition to hormonal therapy, had no distant recurrence at five years after treatment with hormonal therapy alone.
Many women are «triple negative» No one yet knows precisely why, but African - American women are roughly twice as likely as white women to have triple - negative breast cancer — so called because tumor cells in this particularly aggressive form
of the disease test negative for
estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and
human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER - 2).
This is partly due to reduction in the production
of hormones such as testosterone,
human growth hormone and
estrogen and also because
of lack

Although not identical to
human estrogens, they are close enough to confuse the body and interfere with the production and utilization
of all hormones.
While it is made
of natural
estrogens, most
of them are natural to horses, not

human estrogens.
Premarin, made from the urine
of pregnant horses, simply doesn't function exactly like the
estrogens made in the
human body.
Though to date, research hasn't shown a direct link between the water we drink and feminization in
humans, there's plenty
of indirect evidence that suggests
estrogen in our drinking water is at least playing a big role in our feminization as a species, along with all the other sources
of estrogen we're exposed to on a daily basis.

of estrogen elimination in
humans is through Phase II glucuronidation (conjugation with glucuronic acid) in the liver.

Originated 1970s by Dr. Henry Lemon, who tested
estrogen levels in 24 hour urine samples and found that an EQ > 1 strongly correlated with a higher survival rate after breast cancer.24 Further research conducted by Lemon, Heidel, et al., a meta - analysis
of published fractional
estrogen excretion collected from 2,846 healthy women worldwide aged 15 to 59 years, with a risk
of breast cancer varying five-fold, found that an EQ < 1 reflects increased rates
of oxidation
of estrone or estradiol to 4 - OH catechols (also referred to in the literature as the 3,4 - catechol
estrogen quinones), which have been identified as the principal proximal
human mammary carcinogens after menarche, while an EQ > 1 reflects conversion to protective 2 - OH
estrogen metabolites.2526
HGH or
Human Growth Hormone is the most comprehensive anti aging hormone that has the potential to control the levels
of other hormones in the body — testosterone in men and
estrogen in women.

of breast and other
human cancers: implications for biomarkers
of susceptibility and cancer prevention.
Research performed on
human males with androgen insensitivity syndrome compared to the classical sexual development models which were created from research on rats, indicates that the rat model does not account for the sensitivity
of the hypothalamal - hypophyseal - gonadal axis with fluctuations in hormonal levels, namely androgens and
estrogens.7
Genistein Inhibits Both
Estrogen and Growth Factor — stimulated Proliferation
of Human Breast Cancer Cells Cell Growth & Differentiation 1996 (Oct); 7 (10): 1345 — 1351 Genistein is a naturally occurring dietary protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitor that is hypothesized to be responsible for the lower rate
of breast cancer observed in Asian women consuming soy.
