The Little Hormone Book

There are three compartments to the human ovary. The Follicle compartment is the structure that enlarges each month forming a small cyst or follicle. As it does, it releases primarily estrogen. When the follicle ruptures, releasing the egg, the small ruptured cyst (the follicle) collapses forming a small crater called the Corpus Luteum. This crater wall thickens and becomes another compartment which produces progesterone. These two compartments slow down and eventually stop at menopause. Fertility ends.

The third compartment which is greatly overlooked is the Ovarian Stroma. It looks as if it is merely fibrous tissue holding all of the follicles together. In fact, it is the source of the androgens, the primary one being testosterone (the forgotten female hormone). This vital structure continues to secrete testosterone for the rest of the woman's life or until it is removed. Even after the ovary has stopped releasing eggs, this compartment continues to work. The post-menopausal ovary, though much smaller in size, remains a valuable endocrine organ.

Pregnancy and childbirth change hormone production in ways that nature designed in order to preserve our species. Some of the change isn't necessarily good. For this reason, women are so much more vulnerable to hormone decline than men.

The secretion of hormones from the three compartments of the ovary is altered during pregnancy as the placenta of pregnancy takes over hormone production temporarily. When the pregnancy and breast feeding time are over, the ovary tries to return to its previous function, but, sometimes the Ovarian Stroma (testosterone producing compartment) doesn't work as well as it did before pregnancy began. This is especially true after several pregnancies. The woman continues to feel tired, irritable, depressed, and have a diminished libido. She thinks it is all due to new baby responsibilities, child-rearing stress, and requirements on her in general…just a very busy life. Actually, the cause is a diminished testosterone level in her body. The Ovarian Stroma compartment has not returned to normal. Even without pregnancies, this valuable ovarian compartment progressively declines in production and symptoms begin to occur.

Natural human hormones are manufactured by a biochemist in a chemical laboratory or drug company. The biochemist extracts the base molecule from soybeans or yams, then adds the necessary carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms to the base molecule. The resulting molecule is bio-identical to the human molecule (as pictured in biochemistry textbooks).

The hormones produced in this manner are exactly like the same hormones present in the human body and already created by nature.

This product is then made into an injectable hormone or placed into oral capsules, sublingual tablets, vanishing cream, and subcutaneous pellets.


Injectable Hormones
Below are three very important human hormones used in my recipe and administered to the patient by injection. These hormones are naturally produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands, and decline as we age. They are part of the "special oil" that has to be replaced.

Depo-Estradiol Cypionate
What It Does: The stronger of the estrogens; relieves hot flashes, prevents migraine headaches, protects against heart disease, raises the good (HDL) cholesterol, lowers the bad (LDL) cholesterol, enhances mood, increases sense of well-being, prevents osteoporosis, reduces risk of colon cancer, prevents Alzheimer's disease, improves skin texture, and stops vaginal dryness.

Depo-Testosterone Cypionate
What It Does: Long acting but slower onset of action; increases sense of well-being, restores enthusiasm, and relieves headaches, crying spells, depression, irritability, heart palpitations, insomnia, panic attacks, and irritable bowel.

It is anabolic, i.e., it builds tissue-bone and muscle, reverses osteoporosis, increases the body's response to exercise, lowers cholesterol, protects against heart disease, enhances or restores libido, restores memory and concentration, relieves joint and muscle aching, increases energy, relieves dry skin, dry eyes, and skin crawling sensation, helps to relieve urine leakage, vaginal pain, breast pain, and probably prevents cancer of the breast.

Testosterone Propionate
What It Does: Rapid acting with faster onset of action; dissipates more quickly than Depo-Testosterone Cypionate, increases sense of well-being, restores enthusiasm, and relieves headaches, crying spells, depression, irritability, heart palpitations, insomnia, panic attacks, and irritable bowel.

It is anabolic, i.e., it builds tissue - bone and muscle, reverses osteoporosis, increases the body's response to exercise, lowers cholesterol, protects against heart disease, enhances or restores libido, restores memory and concentration, relieves joint and muscle aching, increases energy, relieves dry skin, dry eyes, and skin crawling sensation, helps to relieve urine leakage, vaginal pain, breast pain, and probably prevents cancer of the breast.


Oral Hormones
Below are five very important human hormones used in my oral recipe. These hormones are naturally produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands, and decline as we age. They are part of the "special oil" that has to be replaced. They help to maintain the hormonal levels between injections.

DHEA
What It Does: One of the most basic steroid hormones and a building block for other hormones; restores energy, rejuvenates the immune system, prevents cancer and heart disease, reduces body fat, speeds healing, stops joint aching, and helps relieve the symptoms of Fibromyalgia. Probably prevents autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, and Multiple Sclerosis.

Pregnenolone
What It Does: Another building block for other steroid hormones; enhances memory and improves concentration.

Estriol
What It Does: Most predominant estrogen in women; protects against breast cancer by binding to the estrogen receptor sites as it blocks estradiol stimulation to the breast tissue; valuable anti-aging hormone. Probably prevents autoimmune diseases.

Estradiol
What It Does: The stronger of the estrogens; relieves hot flashes, prevents migraine headaches, protects against heart disease, raises the good (HDL) cholesterol, lowers the bad (LDL) cholesterol, enhances mood, increases sense of well-being, prevents osteoporosis, reduces risk of colon cancer, prevents Alzheimer's disease, improves skin texture, and stops vaginal dryness.

Micronized Progesterone
What It Does: A very valuable hormone even in women who have had hysterectomies; reverses osteoporosis, enhances the actions of estrogen, protects against cancers, usually increases the sense of well-being, and regulates or eliminates uterine bleeding. It also helps to rebuild the myelin sheath which has been damaged in the disease Multiple Sclerosis.
