Women are the medical establishment's
"targeted" market.
|
As
physicians, the drug industry and the media continue to convince women
that the benefits of ingesting hormones outweigh any potential risk, the
use of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) steadily rises. During the
period from 1982 to 1992, the use of hormone therapy in the U.S. more
than doubled and today about a third of women aged 45 to 65 rely on it.
Such widespread promotion of this treatment implies that credible
science has proven it safe and effective, but unfortunately this is not
so.
Breast
Cancer
Breast cancer is a big concern for women. These articles discuss the subject
in full.
Crucifers
and Cancer - A Natural Protection Against Estrogen Overload
We are living in the age of estrogen. The food supply is laden with traces
of herbicides, pesticides and petrochemical residues from plastics, all of
which have estrogen-like, endocrine disrupting effects in animals and
humans. These xenobiotics, or foreign biological substances, have been
linked to abnormalities and cancers of human tissues that are hormone
sensitive, including fibrocystic breast disease, breast cancer, cervical
cancer and dysplasia, endometrial cancer, endometriosis and ovarian disease
as well as prostatic hypertrophy and cancer.

Hypothyroidism
The classic medical model states hypothyroidism in adults is almost always
caused by an autoimmune disease (called Hashimoto’s disease), in which the
body’s immune system reacts against the thyroid gland. The damaged gland is
unable to produce normal amounts of T3 and T4. This type of thyroid disease
is much more common in women than in men. But as you read below you'll see
the model is out-dated.
