No surprise here. This is another example of how the human body is Naturally programmed to maintain 'Optimal Balance'. I have been talking about the importance of 'Optimal Balance' and its relationship to the immune system for over 20 years now. Employing a pre-programmed biological feedback system, it is hardwired in the DNA. Regarding drugs that enter the body, each individual is effected differently and having responses that are unique to their range of sensitivity, fidelity, bandwidth, tolerance, and resistance.
For men, maintaining the testosterone level in your body is critical for health. How many males actually know the guideline for normal testosterone range in males? How many males know of the many advertised products out there that effect male testosterone levels? What does lower testosterone levels mean?
Some background is required in understanding the potential “moob” problem. First, males produce both testosterone and estrogen in their bodies. Yes, males produce 'some' estrogen. It is the maintenance of the balance between testosterone and estrogen that is critically important. A reduction of testosterone does not effect the estrogen level, but the ratio changes. Lesser testosterone means a larger estrogen proportion. This is when males are vulnerable to developing male boobs (moobs).
Ask any body builder that frequently used steroids when they were young what it permanently did to their testosterone levels. It’s well-known in the body-building business that steroids will cause testosterone levels to drop. It’s folly to take steroids. If not properly monitored and offset by other drugs, some body builders grew what was known as “bitch-tits” (moobs) ruining their careers.
What are the factors affecting testosterone levels? There are many supplements and pharmaceuticals in the area of “prostate health” and male balding remedies containing Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) blockers. DHT is an androgen – a sex hormone contributing to the development to “male” sex characteristics, such as body hair, deep voice, and other functions. For balding, there are two main Big Pharma products called-- Proscar and Propecia. There's a close relationship between prostate health and hair-loss prevention pharmaceuticals. Proscar was originally developed for prostate, but was found to prevent hair loss. Propecia is the brand name for Proscar. It contains finasteride, which is a DHT blocker. One of the many side effects is gynecomastia (ie. moobs; bitch-tits). Health stores also sell natural supplements for prostate health containing a finasteride-like compound that inhibits (blocks) production of DHT. Saw palmetto is one of the natural supplement ingredients that contain significant levels of DHT blockers. Multi-vitamins, especially those for men, also contain prostate health ingredients such as saw-palmetto. Another side effect of finasterides is something called PFSD (Post Finasteride Stress Disorder). It is the result of finasterides causing the crash of testosterone levels in males. Most men never recover from this condition and take testosterone injections for the rest of their lives. Lower testosterone levels lead to many psycho-physical health problems like depression, memory loss, Mood changes, fatigue, loss of lean muscle mass, Hypogonadism, and more. The maintenance of DHT levels in males is 'tied-to-the-hip' of testosterone production.
Remember, what 'Q' (Q #1010,#1011, and #1012) mentioned about toxins in household cleaners? This goes far deeper than what most people understand. If there's interest I'll be happy to provide information concerning this.
Our bodies at all times tries to maintain Optimal Balance. The best any individual can be in terms of Optimal Balance is what the Creator originally provided us.
