Common Questions and Answers about Estrogen in meat

Meat in any form doesn't sound good. I can cook it for my husband but I don't want to eat it. What should I do about protein.
No, you don't. But giving up all dairy products is just smart. All dairy cows produce a lot of estrogen just to produce milk. Forget the fact that they are given de-wormers, antibiotics, growth hormones and such. And animal estrogen isn't a good thing. Then there comes the debate about phytoestrogens in plants. Soy for instance .... so many studies and so many different answers! Keep everything in moderation and you will do well.
I actually take a drug called neurontin for hot flashes.
But, I ate soy meat and drank soy milk. These raise you estrogen. Also I drank bottled water in plastic. WEll laying off of these helped some , got hormone free reg milk and cut down on soy meats but it took taking Indole-3 carbinol 400 mg. a day to work. Everytime I try to quit taking this migraines return. So I know it its working. Now maybe 1 day of my period or rarely two I will have a migraine and sometimes not at all. If I do have them now they are less severe.
re already dealing with thryoid issues, as the estrogen levels are still affected by the thryoid and vice versa, whether male or female. It is estrogen in particular that soy affects in a huge way. Dr. Mercola explains more thoroughly and better than I can even begin to repeat why the traditionally fermented soy products are the only soy products that are even safe to consume.
A product like Estroven will in theory give your body a little more plant based estrogen but it is hard to say if it will have a significant affect on cancer risk. I personally don't think it does pose the same risk. However, the product is weaker than RX remedies and often doesn't provide relief over the long term. And...I can say from 1st hand experience with surgical menopause, that there are more symptoms than dryness and flashes that are caused by menopause.
How old are you? This is an old post, so don't know if the person is still around, but there are many reasons for a woman not getting moist. In this case, the woman had never had sex yet, so she had no idea if she did have it if she would have responded by releasing vaginal secretions. I'm guessing she did. But as stated above, yeast infections can cause dryness. So can thyroid problems. So can hormonal problems.
In a 6 month period my estrogen level went from below 20 to over 2300. What could it be?
I am a 'healthy' 53 year old female. 5' 5" and 140 lbs. I have been in menapause for 5 years. (no period). I have taken herbal supplement, "Estroven" since the beginning. I have not had HORRIBLE hot flashes, night sweats or mood swings. However, I have had vaginal dryness. A couple of years ago, I began using Estring 2mg - which helped.
I am not a total expert, but I have recently learned that my habit of eating lots of soy products (soy milk, soy meat, etc) mimics estrogen in the body. I also found out that certain chemicals in soft plastic water bottles (which I had drank out of every day for a year at work) 'leak' into the water and also 'mimic' estrogen. Even stress hormones can lead to further imbalances.
By ingesting other estrogens, there is a theoretical concern that a person could be interfering with the therapeutic effect of reducing estrogen and, in fact, give the tumor the food it needs to grow. It is not clear, however, that the types of plant estrogens found in soy and other foods are harmful to women being treated for breast cancer. Oncologists vary in their opinions on this, but many do not restrict foods.
I am 50 years old and was diagnosed with estrogen positive breast cancer stage 1 with no lymph nodes affected. I am currently on tamoxifen. I am overwhelmed as to what to eat. I get even more confused each day. I have stopped eating red meat. What are the foods i should avoid, and can i eat soy for my stage? Also what about flax seeds?
Elevated levels of estrogen in men cause them to take on more feminine characteristics. In fact, when estrogen levels in men are higher than they should be, it can bring about a whole slew of unwanted and potentially dangerous side effects. Enlarged breasts are one of the first and most noticeable side effects to appear in men when estrogen levels are elevated. This is known as gynecomastia and a few other names in the gym too.
A coroner I knew used to tell me HORRIBLE stories about cutting open people who had 10 lbs of undigested meat in them. YUCK!! I eat meat, but I try to eat lean meats, free range chickens, seafood, etc. That is not to say I couldn't kill myself on portugese sausage, (YUM) but you have to eat sensibly and indulge occasionally.
I know I am looking forward to a couple of more weeks when I can set some lettuce out in a cold frame and the mints will start coming up. YEAH!!!!
I've eaten lots of cold sandwiches during my pregnancy and have been fine.
Thank you for your last response. I did see a dermatologist and she said the marks on my legs were sun spots. However now I have many other questions. Mt Melanoma was "in situ", which I hear is great. But now I am trying to do all I can to prevent it from coming back. I have recently read that both estrogen and vitamin C have been linked to increasing Melanoma. Is this true?
Does certain types of meat ever make anyone throw up? Like ground beef and summer sausage?
Endometriosis feed off estrogen. The estrogen-dependent endo lesions, if left unchecked, will begin to create their own estrogen.
I do want to clarify that the pill or any other form of HRT does not prevent the Endometriosis from growing. The reason it is used is to help stop the pain by stopping the periods.
I was on a low dose BCP (Marvelon) for 8 yrs continuously and did help with my pain. However it still continued to grow even after deep excision surgery.
