Estrogen dominance

Estrogen and progesterone should be produced by the body a balanced diet.

Estrogen is the hormone responsible for the changes taking place in the women from puberty. From puberty to menopause, estrogens are responsible for the stimulation of the construction of tissue covering the uterus (the endometrium), and growth and lubrication of tissue that covers the vagina.
This stimulating effect of estrogen explains why, if in excess, they are toxic.
Estrogen stimulates breast tissue and, therefore, if in excess may increase the risk of developing fibrocisti and even cancer. By stimulating the endometrial training, in excess, can increase the risk of endometrial cancer or the growth of fibroids.

Progesterone is a hormone produced by the ovaries after ovulation, which not only supports and maintains the pregnancy but is also required to balance the estrogen. In addition, progesterone receptors are found on brain cells, the nerve fibers and cells of the bones.

Progesterone is produced by the corpus luteum after ovulation and in smaller amounts by the adrenal glands. During pregnancy is synthesized in large quantities by the placenta.
Progesterone is a specific molecule synthesized by mammals and has specific roles in the body. Progesterone has effects on:
virtually all body tissues (including the uterus, cervix and vagina)
endocrine system
brain cells
metabolism of fatty
thyroid hormone function
balance in the water retention
synthesis of myelin sheath of peripheral nerves
Bone cells
energy production and thermogenesis
immune system
the embryo development and survival
growth and development of the fetus

But progesterone did not function only in the menstrual cycle a woman. Progesterone is a hormone that have the greatest protective function of the thymus depends on the progesterone, the adrenal glands use it to produce the antistress hormones.

In the natural cycle of a female estrogen hormones are dominant for the first two weeks and, normally, are balanced by progesterone, or d ormone dominant in the last two weeks. When exogenous estrogens are introduced in this cycle through food, water, drugs based on hormones, detergents, and other outdoor pollutants, the production of progesterone is suppressed and leads to symptoms of estrogen dominance that, according to his doctor theorized the American John R . Lee, would be a real syndrome.

However, through a series of hormone tests, Dr. Lee has found that many women suffer from uterine fibroids, breast cancer / uterus, fibrocisti, osteoporosis, etc.. Were often deficient in progesterone and, therefore, suffered from a real syndrome that he called "estrogen dominance".
Progesterone is a hormone produced by the ovarian follicle after the release of ovulo during ovulation. The female body produces progesterone and then only with ovulation. If ovulation does not occur, progesterone is not produced. This leads to an imbalance, since the main role of progesterone is to maintain estrogen balance.
Absence of ovulation, menopause, stress, xenoestrogeni, may induce the reduction or elimination of the production of progesterone and, consequently, a state of estrogen dominance.

The term "estrogen dominance" was coined by Dr. Lee to describe a condition characterized by:
accelerating the aging process
allergies (asthma, vent, sinusitis, etc.).
anger / irritability
tension / sensitivity of breast
cold hands and feet (a symptom of thyroid dysfunction)
