Better Estrogen Levels for Men and Women -Roger Mason

Both men and women in Western countries tend to have excessive estrogen (estradiol and estrone actually) levels. Estrogen dominance is an important cause of various cancers and other diseases. How does one lower excessive estrogen levels? Diet and lifestyle are the answer here, not Magic Supplements. DIM is a fine supplement proven to help normalize and improve estrogen metabolism, but you need diet, exercise, and other supplements to support its effectiveness.  DIM is twice as strong and half the price of I3C (indole-3-carbinol). We sell 200 mg X 60 for only $11.95. This is the least expensive price in the world, and much less than Puritan's. Swason's, GNC, and Life Extinction are too stupid to even sell it. This is a very important supplement for both men and women over the age of 40. If your tested estradiol and estrone levels are low you don't need it though. Flax oil is very important here and has been shown to lower estrogen levels. Take one or two 1,000 mg capsules a day.  By the way, chrysin doesn't work, never did work, and never will work. This is a delusion from the meatheads who publish those weightlifting magazines and websites. International, published, clinical studies prove chrysin has no value as a supplement, much less to lower estrogen levels.

It is a myth that Western women are deficient in estrogen and need to take horse estrogen (Premarin) to raise their levels, especially after menopause. Western women (and men) are generally up to their ears in estrogen due to gobbling down endless amounts of saturated fat, drinking alcohol, not getting any exercise, and being overweight. Why do you think 1 in 8 American women get breast cancer? One in eight women you know will end up with breast cancer. This is largely due to excess estradiol and estrone (the two most powerful estrogens). Let's mention all the other cancers, diseases, and conditions that excess estrogen causes. So, what does estrogen have to do with men? Men over 50 have literally higher estrogen levels than their postmenopausal wives. Frightening, huh? That's a basic reason men get fat, grow breasts, suffer from prostate disease, and lose their hair. The same reasons apply for this excess level of estrogen- gobbling down animal fats, drinking, laying on your dead butts watching TV, and being overweight. All American men will end up with prostate cancer if they live long enough. Fact.

It is almost impossible to lower estrogen levels except by changing your diet and lifestyle. Most people simply are not willing to do this. Can't medical science do anything? Yes, they give you dangerous, toxic, expensive "anti-aromatase" drugs like Tamoxifen, Arimidex, and Clonipine. Bad choice there. 

If you read the Journal of the National Cancer Institute in 1990 (vol. 82) you just will be amazed. Real live humans were given I3C and lowered their estradiol (the most powerful and carcinogenic) levels 18% in a week! It also improved the entire metabolism of estrogens. This was 17 years ago and now we have DIM. DIM will do the same thing with only half the amount. This is the direct digestive metabolite of I3C. The authors of this study concluded, "These results indicate that indole-3-carbinol strongly influences estradiol metabolism in humans and may provide a new chemopreventative agent." DIM is twice as good at half the price. It is easy to test your estrogen levels whether you are a man or a woman. Just buy an inexpensive saliva test kit. Women should test their estradiol, estrone, and estriol. Men only need to test their estradiol and estrone. The ranges are given with your results. It is rare for women to be low in estradiol or estrone, but all too common for them to be low in estriol. You must get estriol cream or sublingual drops from a compounding pharmacist, as normal pharmacies do no sell it nor can they order it.

If you are too high in estradiol or estrone you must take 200 mg of DIM, lower your fat intake- especially saturated fat, exercise, eat more fiber in the form of whole grains and beans, take flax oil, and limit consumption of alcohol. Alcohol spikes estrogen levels pretty dramatically. Exercise is proven to help normalize all hormone levels especially to lower estrogens. You must get regular exercise. Never, resort to anti-aromatase  and anti-estrogen drugs like Arimidex to lower your estrogen levels. Diet, supplements, exercise, and lifestyle lower excessive estrogen
