How Can Estriol Help Women Lose Weight?

- Roger Mason

Men, you can't be included in this column today because modern science in all its infinite wisdom doesn't have a clue as to the effects of estriol on men. You do have a wife, mother, sister, daughter or other loved one who needs to read this. Not that men don't have estriol- 80 to 90% of human estrogens are, in fact, estriol. There are three main estrogens in humans- estradiol (the strongest and most dangerous), estrone (strong and dangerous) and estriol (the good, safe, or beneficial estrogen). Fortunately most men have normal estriollevels thruout life. If you want absolute proof of how incompetent medical doctors are, just keep reading. Your doctor does not know, nor care what the heck estriol is. He has never once ever measured the estriol level of any of his female patients during his career, much less wrote a prescription for it. He never heard a word about it in medical school. This includes gynecologists and even endocrinologists believe it or not. Again, 80 to 90% of human estrogen is comprised of estriol.

It gets worse. Go down to any independent or chain drug pharmacy and ask the pharmacist for estriol. They will look at you with a blank stare. Now ask them to special order it as you have a doctor who is writing you a prescription for estriol cream (never take the synthetic oral estriol tablets!). Pester them and make them look thru their drug catalog and they won't be able to find estriol. No regular pharmacy in America sells estriol!!! This is insanity folks and shows you just how backward the entire medical community is. The entire medical community is in the Dark Ages.

You have to find a sympathetic doctor who will prescribe estriol cream according to YOUR instructions since they won't have a clue as to what they're doing and have never written such a prescription in their lives. You need 100 grams of a 0.3% transdermal cream or gel (that is three tenths of one per cent or three parts in one thousand). Use a half gram a day if you are low.

And how will you know you are low? If you have a medical plan insist the doctor test your level of FREE bioavailable, not bound unavailable, blood level estriol. Or get a saliva test kit and you can find out for only about $30 and you will always get the free level, if you are low, or near the bottom of the scale, raise it with the transdermal cream or gel. There are some strong human clinical studies on the value of raising low estriol levels showing really dramatic benefits. Un fortunately there is little research available as there is just no profit motive here.

But what about weight loss? You will never read these things anywhere in the world except in this column folks. At Fujita Health University in Japan (Nippon Naibunpi Gakkai Zasshi v. 72 in 1996) doctors tested obese women who were both menstruating and who were anovulatory (not ovulating and producing progesterone). They found all of them were low in estriol. All of them were low in blood estriol levels; not just some of them. This is an astounding finding. Anovulatory women were also heavier, which is just one more reason to use natural progesterone cream as well, as that means you are not producing progesterone two weeks out of the month. Another reason to use natural progesterone cream. Obesity was clearly and strongly related to low estriol.

This does NOT mean by raising low estriol you will magically lose weight, but it sure will help. There are no Magic Supplements to lose weight, but everything you do helps. A diet high in complex carbohydrates (brown rice, whole wheat pasta, whole grain bread, beans, etc.), high in fiber, LOW IN FAT, and low in protein (yes, low protein) will literally allow you to eat all you want, never be hungry and lose weight consistently.

So, order a hormone test kit and test all three of your estrogens and see how you are. If you don't understand your hormone levels you'll never have good health.

Estriol is the "forgotten estrogen" but you can read about it in my book No More Horse Estrogen! Heal yourselves ladies, because your doctor sure isn't going to help you.
