Synopsis

Are you a woman?
 Do you have excess estrogen in your body?
Are you bathing in a sea of it?

Estrogen Dominance: Hormonal Imbalance of the 21st Century identifies:

• How every day products used within the household can contribute to excess estrogen in your system;

• How everyday foods that are chemically enhanced can overload your body with estrogen;

• How endometriosis, PMS, cancer, fibroids and fibrocystic disease can be symptoms of Estrogen Dominance and

• How excess estrogen has become the silent killer for women today.  

Many of the disorders encountered today were unknown and unheard of a mere century ago. Technology, the multitude of new chemicals and other agents of modernization cause a host of illnesses and health problems.

Chief among these silent killers is the estrogen hormone when present in excess amounts. Sometimes the danger comes in the guise of useful household products that we buy off the shelf that have chemical structures akin to those of estrogen. Hormone-laced beef and poultry, pesticides, car pollutants and the leftover estrogen from hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are all culprits.  

You may not have known it but you are bathing in a sea of estrogen and estrogen-like compounds created by our industrial world over the past 100 years.  

The hormonal imbalance caused by excessive estrogen has brought us a myriad of illnesses including premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenopausal syndrome, uterine fibroids, breast cysts, endometriosis, and breast cancer. Many women develop the entire series. The list is not exhaustive and these illnesses are not mutually exclusive. Many women develop the entire series—the root cause is the same. It’s time to clear up the misinformation and ignorance. Estrogen Dominance will be your guide.

 

Dr. Michael Lam and Dorine Lam are the authors of numerous best-selling publications, including Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome.
