If it is conventional milk then it is because of the possibility of added hormones. But with organic you can get hormones too. If the cow providing the milk is pregnant their will be estrogens in the milk. (This is what I have read - I am no farmer LOL)

Milk from any animal contains the hormones of that animal. And even organic milk has been

questioned as to its hormone content more times than I can remember. The carton will usually say “no

hormones added” which does not address the hormones already in the milk. We all know that milk is a huge

controversy. We have been told by

the media and Dairy Association marketing over and over about how good it is

for us and how our children “must” drink it in order to

survive. Humans are the only ones

that continue to drink milk (and not even from other human’s) after being

weaned from the breast. A long time

ago when animals were raised on “clean” grass and no antibiotics,

etc., the outside hormone load for milk drinkers would not have been much or maybe

the only hormones that one would ever get would be through raw milk. Could it be that the good enzymes from

the raw milk might help the liver with processing out the bad hormones –

especially if one was not on hormone overload to begin with? (I have absolutely

no proof this can happen. Sorry for the long sentence.) However, we live in very different times.

The body can only take so much hormone overload before symptoms begin to show

up. Hormone disruptors are just

about in everything because we have become such a “chemical” world. Even with grass fed animals most likely

the grass is not clean (even if it is organic) and could actually contain

pesticides, herbicides that have been carried by the wind. And then there is toxic rain and/or the

condition of the water that is used to water the grass.

You had asked in another email about a liver test. The only liver testing I usually look at

is through serum and I often wonder if the current ranges are even remotely

appropriate. Some practitioners may

recommend an Oxidative Stress Analysis but unless there is

a good reason to believe there is liver “disease”, I wouldn’t

necessarily recommend it. Low thyroid function is known to be a contributor to impaired liver detoxification which is a big reason why I require

detoxing/cleansing before doing any type of protocol -- actually 1-3 cleanses

before and then 1-2 during. If a person is having health concerns, I

usually assume they have a toxic liver and digestive tract and with many

fungus/parasites. We are just

exposed to so much toxic junk that it’s a wonder anyone has a liver

functioning at a healthy level. In

fact, one reason that people will sometimes not get the desired results with a

natural health protocol or in using supplements is because they did not take

the time to cleanse and detox the liver.

It sounds like you are doing a lot of great things for your daughter! Please let us know how everything goes.

Early Puberty at Seven!

I have been dosing my 6, now seven year old with

iodoral - for two years now.

Now she is on one iodoral per day.

I think she is detoxed because I have weened her off 1/4 Naturethroid,

although I have not been able to afford a new/2nd bromide test.

(But she no longer complains of her eyes bothering her.)

(I had done a hormone panel two years ago that said she was Hypo.)

Well she just started developing a breast bud, a sore, when you touch it,

bump under one of her nipples.

The acupuncturist said let's wait a week to see if it goes away.

Well it hasn't.

So I took her to a western doctor who said it is precosious puberty!

I was shocked, and am afraid I have thrown off her hormones with the iodine.

Is there a way to slow down puberty?

She is only 7 and a half!

Also about a year ago I did an organic acid test for environmental toxins on

her which said she was full of plastics, heavy metals & pollution from the

air, paint on walls/off gassing & water.

Since then I now buy reverse osmosis filtered water, but I have not really been

detoxing all of this other junk so as to not overwhelm her liver.

But I think I will now because I know plastics make the body think it has

excess estrogen.

Any other ideas? My mom said there is something to give her to slow down her

puberty, but I do not want to use drugs or hormones if I don't have to. Thank

I was reading an article in the vitamin d council newsletter by Dr. Cannel and

he thinks that vitamin D deficiency is driving the early puberty we see these

days.

Please get her vitamin D level checked. It should be at least over 60 ng/ml.

I have to take at least 10,000 IU a day in order to get my levels over 60 ng/ml.

If I find the article, I will post it. My doctor says we " ignore vitamin D

levels at our peril "

You don't know how many people tell me they think their D levels are fine

because they drink milk or go out in the sun occasionally. You don't know unless

you get a blood test. I just shake my head at this amazing display of ignorance.

Detoxing the body as well. When my mom had high "bad" estrogens she used Ca-D-Glucorate and DIM to clear it. I am not sure what dosing for children would be but you can look into these items as it may relate to children.

Early Puberty at Seven!

I have been dosing my 6, now seven year old with iodoral - for two years now.Now she is on one iodoral per day.I think she is detoxed because I have weened her off 1/4 Naturethroid,although I have not been able to afford a new/2nd bromide test.(But she no longer complains of her eyes bothering her.)(I had done a hormone panel two years ago that said she was Hypo.)Well she just started developing a breast bud, a sore, when you touch it,bump under one of her nipples.The acupuncturist said let's wait a week to see if it goes away.Well it hasn't.So I took her to a western doctor who said it is precosious puberty!I was shocked, and am afraid I have thrown off her hormones with the iodine.Is there a way to slow down puberty?She is only 7 and a half!Also about a year ago I did an organic acid test for environmental toxins on her which said she was full of

plastics, heavy metals & pollution from the air, paint on walls/off gassing & water.Since then I now buy reverse osmosis filtered water, but I have not really been detoxing all of this other junk so as to not overwhelm her liver.But I think I will now because I know plastics make the body think it has excess estrogen.Any other ideas? My mom said there is something to give her to slow down her puberty, but I do not want to use drugs or hormones if I don't have to. Thank you - Ali

Your swollen ankle could also indicate lymph drainage problems. I have a

rebounder, and bouncing for a few minutes a day helps tremendously. It's fun,

too!

I don't buy the supplements from this site, but like their concise articles on

bodily functions and what might help. I have all the symptoms of clogged lumph

system, and hope the iodine will help with this, also.

Wishing your daughter all the best. One question, do you remember how old your

were when you started developing? Sometimes, it can be genetic, at least the

predisposition, but of course, 7 is too young, no matter what. I wish you and

your daughter all the best and that you get to the bottom of what's causing

this. You sound like you're doing all your can to give her a good start!

I have hormone problems and for a while I followed a diet by Neal Barnard in his book Foods That Fight Pain. He explains the rise in hormonal problems and the reasons why high fat foods (even good fats) can contribute to this. I did get some relief by following his recommendations & cutting down on fat. I used to eat lots of avocados & cheese (organic) but when i cut these out it did help. Might not be the solution for everyone as I know that some people thrive on the good fats but it did help me. Anything high in fat now (if I eat a lot of it over time) will trigger hormonal problems for me.ValFrom: Alison Trotta-Marshall <atmarshall1@...>iodine Sent: Tuesday, 13 September 2011, 1:00Subject: Re: Re: Early Puberty at Seven!

We don't drink much cows milk.Just once every four months or so.I rotate between organic Goat milk, Almond, and Hemp milk.She does not like coconut milk, unfortunetely.But she does eat a lot of organic cheese & yogurt.AliOn Sep 12, 2011, at 9:26 AM, channabrennon wrote:

Thank you.On Sep 12, 2011, at 8:09 PM, Dr Loretta Lanphier wrote:

Milk from any animal contains the hormones of that animal. And even organic milk has been

questioned as to its hormone content more times than I can remember. The carton will usually say “no

hormones added” which does not address the hormones already in the milk. We all know that milk is a huge

controversy. We have been told by

the media and Dairy Association marketing over and over about how good it is

for us and how our children “must” drink it in order to

survive. Humans are the only ones

that continue to drink milk (and not even from other human’s) after being

weaned from the breast. A long time

ago when animals were raised on “clean” grass and no antibiotics,

etc., the outside hormone load for milk drinkers would not have been much or maybe

the only hormones that one would ever get would be through raw milk. Could it be that the good enzymes from

the raw milk might help the liver with processing out the bad hormones –

especially if one was not on hormone overload to begin with? (I have absolutely

no proof this can happen. Sorry for the long sentence.) However, we live in very different times.

The body can only take so much hormone overload before symptoms begin to show

up. Hormone disruptors are just

about in everything because we have become such a “chemical” world. Even with grass fed animals most likely

the grass is not clean (even if it is organic) and could actually contain

pesticides, herbicides that have been carried by the wind. And then there is toxic rain and/or the

condition of the water that is used to water the grass.

You had asked in another email about a liver test. The only liver testing I usually look at

is through serum and I often wonder if the current ranges are even remotely

appropriate. Some practitioners may

recommend an Oxidative Stress Analysis but unless there is

a good reason to believe there is liver “disease”, I wouldn’t

necessarily recommend it. Low thyroid function is known to be a contributor to impaired liver detoxification which is a big reason why I require

detoxing/cleansing before doing any type of protocol -- actually 1-3 cleanses

before and then 1-2 during. If a person is having health concerns, I

usually assume they have a toxic liver and digestive tract and with many

fungus/parasites. We are just

exposed to so much toxic junk that it’s a wonder anyone has a liver

functioning at a healthy level. In

fact, one reason that people will sometimes not get the desired results with a

natural health protocol or in using supplements is because they did not take

the time to cleanse and detox the liver.

It sounds like you are doing a lot of great things for your daughter! Please let us know how everything goes.

Be Well

If it were my daughter, I would suggest a

very healthy diet (as close to nature as possible, no fast foods, no

well as a good organic multi-vitamin/mineral complex. This will

eventually help to cleanse the liver. No soy, animal milk or cheese and

nothing that is packaged in plastics. Don’t eat anything that has

been heated in plastic or wrap foods in plastic – in fact, it would be best

to not have anything that is in plastic.Check shampoo and

personal care products as many of these contain chemicals that contain

xeno-estrogens. Eliminate fluoride (toothpaste & water); chlorine, etc.

Has she been vaccinated? One site says the following:

Vaccinations are high on estrogen antigens, monosodium glutamate, mercury, and

aluminum which destroys the biological clock in the hypothalamus region and the

pineal gland. Since you already know that she is high in heavy metals which can

cause early maturity, doing a heavy metal cleanse is warranted. Chlorella

and a good zeolite product would be good choices. Heavy Metal Detox (HMD)

is also an effective product.

I would also make sure that her circadian rhythm is not being affected by

having computer lights, LEDs or night lights on in her bedroom at night.

She should have a consistent bedtime and sleep in a dark room. Turn down

lights at least 30 minutes before bedtime. We are constantly surrounded

by artificial light and personally I believe this is a very real culprit in children’s

and adult’s hormone imbalance. And in some neighborhoods there are

street lights outside children’s bedrooms that keep their room lit up all

night.Good article by Sherrill Sellman with some good
