Hormone Health

Balancing our sex hormones is a cornerstone to age reversal. Much is now written about bioidentical hormone replacement for women. However, men can now receive testosterone replacement using bio-identical hormone creams. These are only available by prescription. For hormone replacement therapy, I recommend finding an anti-aging physician who is trained in anti-aging medicine. This approach requires medical supervision and regular lab work.
The largest problem for both men and women is unopposed estrogen dominance. Excessive estrogen levels cause a long list of health risks (read some of Dr. Wong’s articles in my Articles section). In women, it leads to weight gain at the abdomen and thighs, loss of libido, fibrosis and cancer. In men estrogen dominance is the cause of prostate cancer. It is true that the average American male of age 50 has more estrogen than his female counterpart at the same age. Estrogen interferes with testosterone and when testosterone levels fall off, so does everything else, including our hair.
Natural progesterone cream helps to safely correct estrogen dominance in both men and women. While women use larger doses, men can help protect their testosterone by applying 1/8 tsp. on the testicles for 25 days on and 5 days off.
Myomin is a remarkable herbal formula that fights estrogen excesses in men and women. For men it can be effective at inhibiting the enzyme aromatase from converting testosterone to estrogen. Myomin prevents your own testosterone from converting into estradiol and estrone (the two worst forms of human estrogen). It also acts as an estrogen blocker filling up the estrogen receptors and not allowing the estrogen to have a physiological action while at the same time helping to get rid of the estrogen through metabolization by the liver

Dr. Wong Says:
Progesterone is one of the two main female hormones and is produced in the ovaries. In the female body, progesterone is made from cholesterol and is essential for proper uterine and breast development. It also plays a key role in the stress response, maintaining sugar and electrolyte balances and blood pressure regulation.
As women age and go through menopause, their production of progesterone decreases, resulting in what many deem a progesterone ‘deficiency’. This decrease has been linked to the common side effects associated with menopause; hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. A decrease in progesterone has also been linked to a woman’s loss of interest in sex, dry and wrinkly skin, water retention and depression.
For fighting menopause symptoms, estrogen dominance, depression, migraines, PMS, and all of the women’s fibrosis diseases (fibrocystic breast disease, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids). Progesterone, not only, is the antagonist to estrogen but also acts as an aromatase inhibitor protecting against having too much estrogen made by the body. Pre-menopausal women generally use one application a day between day 7 to 27 if they ovulate early or day 12 to 27 if they ovulate late. Post menopausal gals can use one application daily 25 days on and 5 days off. While most progesterone creams contain soy, herbs and other possibly estrogenic substances that could undo progesterone's effects the Karuna brand is pure pharmaceutical (USP) grade progesterone with minimal additives.

Dr. Wong's suggested places of application are:
"Personally, I recommend applying the natural progesterone cream to the sites with the largest number of progesterone receptors (ie: the genitalia such as breasts and labia in women and the testicles in men). And, for women who have migraine headaches, especially those occurring before or during the estrogen-rich menstrual cycle, a dose can be applied to the forehead and this usually relieves the headache in less than 30 minutes."

Myomin is an all natural formula of Chinese herbs that has been shown to help metabolize unhealthy estrogens and promote proper hormonal balance. Studies show that it also inhibits aromatase, an enzyme that converts androgens (testosterone) into estrogen.
Hospital research has shown that Myomin helps to reduce the size and symptoms of myomas (fibroids) found in the breast, uterus, and ovaries. It is especially helpful when these conditions have been encouraged byestrogen dominance. Myomin can also be effective for cysts in the thyroid, kidney, and liver. Those with osteoporosis, kidney, and liver problems have found this dietary supplement to be safe and effective. Furthermore, Myomin's herbal formula is also said to help induce more interferon in the system, which activates natural killer cells. This action can be beneficial for men with enlarged prostates and for women with uterine fibroids.

Balances excess hormone levels and normalizes hormonal systems
Boosts formation of interferon interlukin-2 and tumor necrosis factor
Regulates and alleviates discomfort
Inhibits aromatase
Blocks estrogen

Myomin has been shown to inhibit aromatase, a key enzyme involved in the synthesis of estrogen. For women and men, this action prevents the conversion of testosterone into unhealthy estrogens (estradiol and estrone), and leads to the unhindered production of more good estrogen (estriol) from progesterone, DHEA, and other hormones.

According to Dr. Chi's Newsletter, "The importance of aromatase inhibitors in the treatment of hormone-related conditions has gained momentum in the past few years. One of the advantages of Myomin is that it can be used by men as well as pre- and postmenopausal women."
Dr. Wong Says:
Dr. Tsu-Tsair Chi, N.M.D, PhD was the head of oncology research for 2 major US drug companies. Having medical training in China and having earned a PhD in biochemistry from the Waksman Institute of Microbiology at Rutgers State University, Dr. Chi saw, that according to the statistics for the chemotherapy he was helping to create that the outcomes for cancer patients using the Chinese Herbal Medicine he had learned were better than the results of chemotherapy on US patients. Following his conscience, he left the pharmaceutical firms and established his own company to bring to the US chinese herbal formulas that were useful against cancer and the things that create it.
Over 99% of all cancers are driven by estrogen. In conventional medicine, drug related estrogen control (ie: Tamoxifen) is extremely toxic and has many negative side effects. Drugs like Tamoxifen and other pharmaceutical estrogen blockers act as E blockers in some tissue (like the breasts) while acting as estrogen in others (like the womb) which is why Tamoxifen users have such a high incidence of Uterine cancer.
The first thing Dr. Chi had to develop was a way of controlling both the formation and utilization of estrogen that had no side effects and no toxicity. The resulting product is: Myomin.
Since estrogen control is essential, not just for fighting cancer, but for fibroids, endometriosis, fibrocystic breast disease, and ovarian cysts in women and overcoming andropause in men, the Myomin is applicable to anyone needing to gain control over their estrogen dominance.
Myomin acts as both an estrogen blocker and aromatase inhibitor (keeps the body from making estrogen) without side effects or heavy toxicity and has been reported to reduce the size and symptoms of myoma. It may also boost the formation of interferon interlukin-2 and tumor necrosis factor.
Dr. Wong's Suggested Use: 2 to 3 capsules 2 to 3 times daily depending on the severity of the estrogen dominance.

Myomin Research
"A human study involved 60 post menopausal women with cysts. Post menopausal women were studied because their estradiol levels are more stable than those of premenopausal women. Initially, the average estradiol level was 74.58 pg/ml. After only 10 days on Myomin, their average estradiol level reduced to 38.84 pg/ml. The fibroids, cysts, and the associated pain gradually reduced.”

"Another study was conducted on both pre- and post menopausal women with ovarian cysts. In one study from the Chang Hai Hospital in Shanghai, China, 85 female patients with ovarian cysts were involved, with ages ranging from 27 to 64 years old (more than 50% of them between 34 and 45 years old). Out of the 85, 40 cases were related to endometriosis (hyatidiform cyst), 44 cases were simple ovarian cysts…after 1 to 3 courses of the herbal formula, the cysts and symptoms of 15 patients completely cleared with no recurrence 3 months after the study. In 34 patients, the size of the cyst reduced by 50% and some of the associated symptoms were relieved.”
Myomin is often suggested for those who are menopausal to post-menopausal because they are not producing as much natural estrogen; although, it can be used safely by women in their twenties, thirties, and forties.
One study involved men and women with fibrocystic breasts. In three of the five men in the study, their cysts cleared completely. In that same study, 65% of the women were under 35 years old, demonstrating that this herbal formula is not only limited to postmenopausal women.
