Re: O/T I have a theory about that

Estrogen is a red herring.

I think you are absolutely on the right track in A) looking at the receptors and B) looking upstream for an organ failure/disfunction cause.

People with tons of estrogen don't get cancer. What is different about them? They are younger, for one thing. Their receptors haven't gotten polluted or damaged. They can tolerate feast and famine because their compensation mechanisms remain strong.

About the diet changes you mention. I think dietary changes can trick the receptor --as has been theorized about soy. Dietary changes may also make less demands on the receptor and lower the rate of the receptor's metabolism, make it less "receptive." Soy is a goitrogen which makes the thyroid hypo and it may have a similar mechanism on estrogen receptors, slowing them down, making them less crazy, putting the receptors in hibernation. But in tricking the receptors, this also creates a temporary fix of a symptom, not a solution to the underlying problem of receptor damage.

Also, you mention in massage, the body sites compete for attention by triggers. Similarly, estrogen receptors compete for fuel. If there is not enough fuel, the body will make more receptors to suck up more estrogen. Just as the thyroid enlarges (goiter) to provide more surface tissue to grab Iodine from the bloodstream.

Instead of blaming the fuel (estrogen), we need to look at why the target organ (the receptor) got disfunctional and damaged. How did the receptors get that way? Bromide damage? What else?

I've been trying to brainstorm this since subject 1980. One of the reasons I was drawn to Iodine so much is it heals the upstream cause of so called "estrogen diseases." It works on the proteins of the estrogen receptors, nutritionally downregulating them. The premise of Iodine therapy is that it doesn't blame the vital hormone, estrogen, but looks at damaged receptors as the cause. Iodine heals estrogen receptors just as it repairs other organs.

I appreciate it that you have a theory. I like the way your mind works and how you observe things and raise questions. Sorry I can get so carried away on this topic.
