This natural healing isn't complicated, but it requires several steps, including eating in a way that flushes estrogen, elevates your progesterone levels, eliminating
sources of synthetic estrogen from your life — like pesticides, chemical - based beauty products and cosmetics, and conventional household cleaners — and supporting your body's natural detoxification and elimination systems.
Newbold primarily looked at the
effects of the synthetic estrogen DES on the development and growth of rats; but she also examined other sources of endocrine disruption, including the phytoestrogens genistein and diadzen in soy.
Over time, the dose
of synthetic estrogen in BCPs has declined, more synthetic progestins have been included, and regimens beyond the 21 day active / 7 day placebo have been developed and marketed.
Growth hormones in animal products, both animal flesh, milk and cheese, are
made of synthetic estrogen, similar to a hormone that is naturally produced in very small amounts by a woman's body.
Edit 2017: Recently, after learning about new research and working with even more women, I'm finding that plant - based phytoestrogens may promote ER beta activity, which can lower estrogenic potency in the body as a whole, thereby decreasing the risk for certain cancers (this is not
true of synthetic estrogen, like that in hormonal birth control or estrogen replacement therapy).
Other side
effects of synthetic estrogen, and the consuming of animal products which cause the body to produce too much estrogen, not only include cancer, but also bloating, bleeding, change in sexual desire, cramps, depression, irritability, cervical damage and fibroid growths, just to name a few.
If your liver and pancreas are too busy figuring out your blood sugar issues, then they won't ever be able to concentrate their efforts on getting rid of
all of the synthetic estrogens we absorb every day in the form of plastics, cleaners, beauty products and more, which lead to health problems like endometriosis, PCOS, acne, cramps, infertility, and PMS.
