Estrogen - Angel and Demon!Each one is important enough to merit its own page, but on this page I'd like to explore their overall effects on our bodies, and the importance of a natural balance between them. You may be wondering about the title...angel and demon? Isn't that a little melodramatic? Not really when you understand their importance to a woman's well being. As the authors of What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Premenopause have said, "An excess or a deficiency of estrogens can make a world of difference in a woman's outlook on life and in her overall health and well being."

Don't believe everything you hear about them.The mainstream media often reports studies on conventional hormone replacement therapy by using the word estrogen. This is scientifically false and misleading since most modern day hormone replacement therapies also include synthetic progestins.The benefits and dangers of these prescriptions are not clearly understood or reported by the media. Careful research is necessary to understand their roles, their proper balance in the body, and how they can be balanced with other hormones to bring out their angelic characteristics instead of their demonic side. True Signs of DeficiencyDeficiency can also cause: but these symptoms can be caused by an excess as well. Practical AnswersUsually the best start is to avoid xenoestrogens. These are usually synthetic hormones, or petrochemicals, that act like estrogens in the body.Although it is rarely possible to avoid them all, it is important to avoid as many as possible. The second key to avoiding an excess is to supplement with a
natural progesterone cream.
These two steps will usually enable you to avoid the demonic difficulties caused by an excess of these hormones.
