Leonie rheumatic For Esther - Re: New/Old and Effective RA Treatment Hello; I just joined to find out more about this program while we wait for the books. I am some what surprized by the comments on hormone therapy as it clearly states ... item j. Are there hormonal imbalances that need correcting?

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hello; I just joined to find out more about this program while we wait for the books.ANSWERS ARE IN LARGE PRINT IN YOUR NOTE. I am some what surprized by the comments on hormone therapy as it clearly states ... item j. Are there hormonal imbalances that need correcting? SOME PEOPLE FEEL THI IS SO. I ONLY TAKE HORMONES BECAUSE I HAVE STARTED HOT FLASHES AT AGE 60. In addition it says to test for: 2 - possible low levels of DHEA and testosterone SORRY I DON'T KNOW MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE WILL HELP YOU HERE. So wouldn't hormonal testing be a basic part of this program? NO. THIS ANTIBIOTIC PROGRAM IS BASED ON ANTIBIOTICS FOR " AUTO IMMUNE " DISEASES. Also one of the side effects of the recommended antibiotics is that of reducing the effectiveness of birth control pills, it doesn't say exactly why. does anyone know? THERE ARE A LOT OF MEDS THAT REDUCE THE POTENCY OF BIRTH COMTROL. IT MEANS THAT YOU SHOULD BE SURE AND USE OTHER PROTECTION WHEN ON THEM. How many people actually had all the recommended tests done before beginning the program? MOST OF US HAVE HAD THE TESTS DONE BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN TO RHEUMATOLOGISTS THAT DO THEM ON A ROUTINE BASIS. AS FOR THE MYCOPLASMA TESTING I THINK YOU WILL FIND THAT MOST PEOPLE JUST START THE ANTIBIOTICS. YOUR VERY WELCOME. ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT DOING ANTIBIOTICS? For what disease? Is your doctor in favor of the program? Cooky ap 10 years Thanks > > Although this is just surmise on my part, this would beg the question...by > supplementing with hormones, natural or otherwise, are we feeding the mycos and > just keeping them happy?

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi, Wiccan. I don't know about your experience ... but when it comes to hormones, my experience is that most doctors don't have a clue. I'm pretty sure they do not teach hormones in med school. Regular doctors do not know how to test hormones. They don't know anything about what symptoms mean (like hot flashes). One of my doctors says that hormone stuff should be taught in high school, especially for women because we start & stop at certain points that put some of us in radical swings. Men in general aren't prone to swing this way. Anyway, I have to go to hormone doctors (that's what I call them) because endocrinologists & mainstream haven't the foggiest. Even with the hormone doctors, I found that I needed to be educated FIRST! The hormone docs tend to over prescribe, which will screw you up as much as anything. ... oh don't get me started there!! I realize that the rheumatic.org (on which this group was founded) recommends that we correct hormonal imbalances. It is pretty far down on the list... the first focus being AP of course. I don't know if others had hormone problems like me... but I'm guessing many of their doctors are like the mainstream that I know... doctors who do not consider hormone testing to be relevant. The only reason I'm on the hormone path is because it was the first fire I came upon I found out that my thyroid died ... and then I started looking at the other hormones & found those were close to zero. I'm just busy putting out fires.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi Amy, You sound like you really could use the book NATURAL HORMONE BALANCE FOR WOMEN by Uzzi Reiss, Md GYN. It gives you practical and useful advise to adjust various hormones based on the symptoms you experience instead of analyzing, paying and waiting for the results. My wife, nne, gave the book to her doctor and she was delighted. Applying the recommendations, nne really got well. Good Luck Amy wrote: > > Hi, Wiccan.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 PS: Dr.Reiss recognized early that every women may have a different hormone requirement. For this reason the dose should not x mg/day, rather observe your body's reaction and optimize according to symptyms. He tells you for every hormone the symptoms of too low or too high. For example estrogen: Too low, results in night sweats, Anxiety, Depressed, fatigue, weight gain Too high, gives you tender breasts and water retention.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi all, As soon as I saw the title below, I checked for the book at my public library and it is there! So I'm going to check it out and see what Dr. Reiss has to say. Thanks for the lead.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Dr. Reiss has an excellent reputation (in the circles that I've traveled). I very much want to read his book. I strongly agree and support what you are saying about the symptoms. I've read much about symptoms (as well as testing). I believe symptoms should be a main consideration. I've been a follower of Dr. Lee who considers both testing and symptoms. In part, this is because I've been on a few hormone groups & have seen what excess amounts do to some of those women. Once that happens, they don't seem to straighten out so easily. I don't mean though that people should rely on testing alone. To me, it's really sad that most people don't know about the symptoms. Even symptoms such as energy, fatigue, insomnia, are usually involving hormones. I am inspired by your wife's story. Thank you for sharing this. I've been taking hormones (progesterone, testosterone, thyroid) for a while now myself, and they made a difference for me.
