Estrogens & the Environment

By Jacobus Hollewijn

Hormone-specific prescription drugs for both promoting and deregulating natural hormone production not only affect the inside of our body, but after they’ve done their job, the body eliminates the residue back into the environment.

A similar effect happens when women have cancer in their female organs and they’re being told it is hormone-positive. This already is an interesting, but also somewhat controversial topic. I may delve into that at a later date.

As part of the cancer treatments doctors often prescribe TAMOXIFEN® to block estrogen hormone production and eliminate them from the body into the groundwater. However, in that process other sex-hormones are also affected in their natural production, and they drop as well.

In the case of men fighting prostate cancer a similar process happens. They’re often being told it is because of their high-testosterone. This time a drug called LUPRON® is prescribed to lower, even eliminate testosterone from the body, but also, unbeknownst to men, other hormones that are important for life, vibrancy, and reproduction.

As I’ve stated before: “If testosterone causes prostate cancer, how come older men get it and NOT the 25-year olds?” Same goes for women: “If estrogens cause breast cancer, or cancer of any of the female reproductive organs, how come middle-aged and older women get these cancers and NOT the 25-year olds?”

Women do BETTER with estrogens! And men do BETTER with testosterone. We just need to help balance ALL hormones as we age, NOT get rid of them.

But I guess there is no money in that…?
