Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 In her book The Healing Power of Enzymes, Dicquie Fuller, Phd discusses the value of enzymes as an option for women looking for something other than hormone replacement. My partner Les is 69 and uses BHRT for men. We have noticed that his use of Wobenzym seems to potentates his hormones. He uses the Wobenzym on an empty stomach at night and first thing in the morning and in the middle of the day if he remembers. When he ran out he really noticed a negative difference and started hunting around the house and car for any little baggies he left lying around from traveling. He isn't normally a pill person at all. Something has to be really good to get that happening. I notice my porcine pancreatic enzymes act as a lip plumper and my skin is better. Fuller's book is interesting. If I could go back in time I'd tell my pre-Wiley self to try detox and enzymes before touching hormones. Then if I did do hormones an ultra low dose (like science supports) would likely have a profoundly good result. Laurel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I keep doing detox, sauna, homeopathic drainage and using diet to improve my health. As I do so my cycles are going back to normal with much less problems than I had for most of my 40’s (I’ll be 50 in a week). If I had taken detox and lifestyle issues more seriously at an earlier age I would have saved myself much suffering (not caused by the WP). I will use bioidentical hormones if all the other things fail me and bone density or something like that becomes an issue. But so far all these other methods seem to be effective, but they do take patience. I’ve just finished the book called “You’ve Hit Menopause: Now What” by Gillson MD, PHD and Marsden BScPharm that contains case histories of hormone supplementation and descriptions of protocols that vary depending on the symptoms and test results. It shows that indeed hormone balancing can be tricky and the doctors including the PHDs are still learning. I dare say those of us who are trying this out are experimenting and will help those in the future do this more effectively. This book has lots of information about hormone testing the advantages and disadvantages of the various kinds – plus it has information about the various application methods. The chapter on men’s hormones is good too. They are not pushing progesterone over estrogens or visa versa and are thankfully not selling any hormones either. However, they are connected to a testing lab that specializes in salivary hormone testing. But it doesn’t sound like a get rich quick scheme, there are examples where hormone supplementation was determined to not be the most effect solution to the health problems of patients.

Karima, what lab are they connected with? I bet it is Daignos-Tech. This is the one that "Pat" from the other Hormone & Health list recommends. Madeleen Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 No its a Canadian lab called Rocky Mountain Analytical. They include Dr Zava in their acknowledgements.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Hi Lynne, I don't know exactly how they work, scientifically, but I understand this: Because of their power to gobble up other, unhealthy bacteria-pathogens and potential virus-causing proteins, they keep bacteria in check (anti-inflammatory), so that viruses are less likely to take root in the body; they therefore strengthens your immune system, hence to help your organs produce the hormones a body needs for health.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 You ask all the good questions, damn you! ((-: Watch me NOT answer your question.I've recently received a pile books on enzymes. The one in front of me Enzymes: The Fountain of Life. Three docs and one with a Phd. They study the field of immunoenzymology. These guys say enzymes work on immune complexes. When a cold bug was going thru I took thymus, lysine and lots of enzymes and I was the only one in the house that avoided the cold. Fuller, the women who wrote the other book said the enzymes help get 'nutrition to the cells' and help detox. There. Weak weak answers. Sorry. It's a huge subject and I haven't interviewed a bunch of doctors - making me 'almost have a phd' (LOL) Maybe I'll dive into this more later. The subject is huge. As with hormones it appears the Europeans are way ahead of what is happening in the US. Laurel Laurel, Does the author say how enzymes maximize existing hormones?
