There appears to be a very troubling trend worldwide. What appears to be hormone disruption is affecting the behavior and reproduction of fish, birds and animals. Millions of humans are suffering from the gland-disruption of modern life also, largely due to the synthetic chemicals in our air, food, and water. These chemicals, which can mimic or block our normal hormone action, are widespread in the environment, and have the nasty habit of concentrating in fatty tissues. These pollutants are released into the air from incinerators, chemical plants, and vehicles in cities and surrounding areas. Other such chemicals are utilized in the home and offices. Some are deliberately added to our food and water -- ostensibly for health purposes, but causing the reverse.
It is becoming increasingly clear that many of today's illnesses are the result of toxic accumulation in our bodies, as has never occurred before in human history. Recent studies have shown that even women's breast milk contains significant amounts of these hormone-disrupting chemical pollutants, as do the fish we eat. They are affecting how we live, procreate, and die. Worldwide, fertility rates and sperm counts are declining, impotence is increasing -- witness the tremendous sales of Viagra and its spinoffs.
Levels of contamination that would not be considered toxic in lab studies are - in fact - sufficient to create hormonal disruption in adults, more so in children, and even more so in utero. Our book suggests many ways to effectively reduce your exposure and significantly detoxify your body to reclaim health.
Q. The book features a 5-day Jumpstart program...can you describe it a bit, and how it can help readers?
The Jumpstart is a set of initial evaluations and treatments to help a reader start feeling better right now. It's divided into 5 days:
- Naming the problem helps each reader understand the personal meaning of this large epidemic for her life.
- Determining the cause, which is gland disruption from pollution and excess stress.
- Estimating the "apparent" endo-type using self evaluations; for some this will be enough to begin treatment efforts.
- Confirming the "actual" endo-type with simple home testing, usually by saliva or the new blood spot technique.
- Setting the stage for success with specific remedies for initial rebalancing of your glands. This includes immediate actions for all endotypes, followed by first interventions for each specific endotype.
Q. Since the majority of my site's readers struggle with some form of thyroid problem, how specifically do you see the book helping someone with a thyroid condition?
This book is indeed "the next step" for those with long-standing thyroid challenges that have not been easily resolved. It is also the next step for those with long-standing female hormone challenges -- or adrenal problems -- that have not yet been adequately fixed. For example, in addition to simply providing enough thyroid hormone to run your engine more effectively, and therefore feel better, our program discusses how you can restore the thyroid gland to its former full function.
Also, if you have a concomitant adrenal or sex gland problem that is slowing your thyroid recovery, this program addresses the best currently known methods for handling that. Many people using our protocols have been able to eventually go off of their thyroid medicines entirely, and instead use just natural approaches. Others are able to improve with much less medicine than they were previously taking.
Specifically, many people with thyroid problems are not utilizing a diet plan that's right for their endo-type. Nor is their exercise program necessarily the best approach for someone in their particular situation. Even the amino acids and Bach flower remedies, when chosen with the endo-type in mind, are much more effective, and yield more lasting benefits. It does more than address symptoms, it improves the underlying causing, helping to heal the whole person for the long term.
