Re: Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Re: Grounding/Earthing Testimony
Thanks for taking the time to gather all the links and info, Water. I promise to look at them. I have actually done several colon cleanses, colonics,
Liver Flushes and various organ and system cleanses and detoxes as well as various protocols like ozone saunas & insufflations (have my own ozone generator), as well as months of Rife treatments and many other therapies that have been helpful to various degrees.
I understand that bioidentical hormone therapy is well regarded in some circles and not so much in others--I only mentioned it because the Earthing book stated that Earthing was a great adjunct.
I have only started the bioidentical hormone therapy just recently (on advice of a naturopathic doc) so can't say that I am convinced one way or the other about whether it will have a permanent place in my regimen. But I have already tried many other things like Maca, B.Cohosh, etc. and scores of other "female herbs" for years, and have not seen the results I was hoping for. I worked for about 10 years in the mutual fund industry (super high stress) before stepping into media ministry and ghostwriting. My adrenals (which I had trashed during those years) have made a slow but steady recovery over the past couple decades but I am still far from vibrant. I do pretty much everything I know to do--from rebounding & dry brushing to regular antifungal/
parasite herb rotations while increasing the fermented foods like raw sauerkraut and atchara (in addition to all the proper unprocessed oils, greens/veggie
juicing & proteolytic enzymes to break down biofilms). I buy local/organic whenever possible (good options here in TX) and get my water from an artesian spring about an hour away that has fantastic pH and sediment levels (it was a private underground 40 sq mile artesian spring deeded to the Canton municipality with stipulations that they must keep it free to the public but we get the benefit of monthly testing). Sorry for going on, but I did want you to know that it's not that I have just begun this healing journey. I love many of Uny's products and share them with others whenever I can.
For the most part, I do believe that the best answers are often the simplest, but the hormone area is one that seems to have been especially troublesome for me.
One thing the hormone doc said was that although I was a good candidate for the therapy she was surprised and impressed to see my free T3 levels so much higher than most women in my situation (post menopausal at 48--I'm 50 now). I told her I was sure it was the
Iodine I take regularly.
Anyway, all that to say that I am not unwilling to look further, but I believe I have done quite a bit of research already and the many women I have spoken with who have been on them for many years seem to have nothing but raves for the therapy.
Thanks again for the info, I will look into the various links.
