HORMONAL IMBALANCE
Hormones are messengers that our body's cells,
tissues, and organs use as a means to communicate with each other. When I began my study
of medicine forty years ago, the lectures on hormones concerned the diseases of the
thyroid, adrenal, sex glands and pituitary. Now it is different. In my clinical practice,
I recognize that each cell needs to communicate with every other cell since, by
definition, any part of a whole must have some relationship with all of the whole. Now
when I see a patient, I think of hormones made by the heart, lung, bowel and the immune
cells. I think of all the messengers that maintain cellular communications and allow cells
to express their cellular intelligence. After decades of work as a hospital pathologist
and a practicing clinician, I now consider it poor medicine to classify a patient's
symptoms as "this or that" disease.
In light of the above comments I want to answer three very good
questions posed to me.
Q: Can taking testosterone help some women with hormonal
imbalance?
A: All women produce
testosterone naturally, it stands to reason
that the hormone must do some good. Regrettably most gynecologists are not well informed
about the value of small doses of oral testosterone supplementation (1.25 to 2.5 mg daily)
restoring hormonal balance in women with chronic health problems such as fibromylagia,
chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivity, and complex thyroid and adrenal problems. In
addition I observe good results with a testosterone cream (2% strength of dipropionate
form) than with estrogen creams for my patients with vaginal dryness and irritation.This
subject however requires considerable experience on the part of the doctor. With small
doses as mentioned here, the potential for adverse effects is extremely small. many women
report improvement in their sex drive. Hair growth, if it ever occurs, clears up quickly
when testosterone is discontinued. I do not recommend that women do this therapy on their
own, without close professional supervision. Testosterone is a prescription item.
Androstenedione, a precursor of testosterone, is available without prescription but enough
about its clinical use is not known. Hence, I do not recommend it for women at this time.
Q: DHEA helps adrenal weakness. Pregnenolone does the same.
Which is better?
A: Both are natural substances which the adrenal gland uses to
prepare progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, cortisone and related hormone. The following
table shows their relationships:
The question which is better of the two cannot be answered in a
generic sense. Each individual has her/his own unique requirements based on hormonal
evaluation with laboratory tests and clinical assessment. For most persons with simple
adrenal weakness, DHEA given in modest doses of 25 to 50 mg daily is enough. However, in
many patients with chronic immune, ecologic and metabolic disorders, adrenal weakness is
also a complex problem. It is created by failure of adrenal enzymes at more than one
levels, and is often associated with functional weaknesses of thyroid, pancreas and sex
hormones. In such patients it often requires a "multi-layered" approach that
addresses enzyme failures at whatever level they take place. Thus, I sometimes use 25 mg
of DHEA, 10 mg of pregnenolone and 25 to 50 mg of natural progesterone in my female
patients as a three-prong approach to restoring the normal adrenal and female sex hormone
balance. So you can see it is not a matter of which is better, DHEA or pregnenolone.
Rather, what hormonal support is necessary for a given patient with hormonal imbalance.
Q. Is there any truth behind claims of natural female
hormone replacement therapy?
A: The word "natural" in the context of hormone
supplementation for hormonal balancing requires a careful comment. Drug companies design
their synthetic hormones to be different from natural hormones for patent protection. Such
hormones, of course, wreak havoc on cell memebrane receptors (where hormones connect to
the cell as they float in blood).
I know many women who have fallen victim to estrogenic avalanches
unleashed by synthetic hormones and hormone-like substances (such as pesticides) and these
avalanches of estrogen are causing the epidemics of breast and prostate cancers. However,
it is possible to take raw materials from foods such soybean to prepare hormones which
faithfully copy the structure and the function of the naturally-occurring hormones. Thus,
in integrative medicine, we seek to correct hormonal deficiencies by prescribing
soybean-derived hormones which are identical to naturally-occurring hormones. From many
years of experience at The Institute of Preventive Medicine, we know that this approach is
far safer than using synthetic hormones. Furthermore, we use anti-cancer hormones in much
larger doses (for example, progestrone) and hormones with potential cancer-causing effects
(such as estrodiol) in much smaller doses.
