Hormones affect each of our lives at all stages of development and into the aging process.  Both men and women experience a dramatic change in hormone levels at different times during the life cycle.  “Menopause” and “Andropause” are characterized by alteration in hormone levels towards the achievement of a new balance during the middle-age years of life.  Menopause and andropause show hormone levels declining by an average of 50%.

The effects of supporting ad correcting these hormone levels result in decreased headaches, fluid retention, PMS, dysfunctional cycles, and mood swings for women.  Men benefit from improved nourishment to the urinary and reproductive systems, stimulation of sperm growth, regulation of prostaglandin production which assists in controlling prostatic hypertrophy, and promotes protein metabolism for better muscle strength and durability.  Both male and female patients experience a boost in libido, sexual desire, and increased stamina.

We get additional estrogen from food sources and many of our common foods have been sprayed with steroids.  The end result is altered levels of progesterone and testosterone with a higher than usual level of estrogen.  The replacement with bio-identical hormones which are 98% identical in structure to the hormones that your body produces allows for man fewer side effects of therapy.  Hormone replacement therapy as we are most familiar with are synthetically made and are only 6% identical in structure to our body’s own hormones. Testing by saliva is much more specific and results are more reliable.  We welcome your inquiries.

WHAT IS GROWTH HORMONE?

Growth hormone is produced in the Pituitary Gland as we mentioned above.  During the growth phases of our life it governs the growth of each individual organ in our body.  It makes us grow.  After we reach our maximum growth around the age of 30 its production starts to markedly decrease but its presence is still markedly needed for the replacement of cells in each organ as they wear out.  When we lose the ability to replace worn out cells we die. Therefore growth hormone is our life hormone.  When we run out of it we lose life.

Although not definitively proven it has been postulated that Mercury toxicity greatly decreases the Pituitaries ability to make growth hormone.  If there is one reason to do a Mercury Detox or better yet to remove Mercury fillings this is definitely the reason!

There is a blood test that measures Growth Factor, which correlates with levels of growth Hormone and is called THE SOMATOMEDIN-C test.  If this test comes out low you should definitely consider stimulating growth hormone Homeopathically.

This office does not recommend the use of Injectable growth Hormone as it is both Illegal for non-indicated purposes and can stimulate the growth of latent cancers.
