WHEN DOES ESTROGEN PROMINENCE DEVELOP
INTO…
AN ESTROGEN DOMINANCE?
By Alfred J. Plechner, D.V.M.
An ESTROGEN PROMINENCE relates to a human or animal that is at the
high end of producing and ingesting TOTAL ESTROGEN.
An ESTROGEN DOMINANCE relates to a human or animal that has superseded
the high normal range of TOTAL ESTROGEN.
Either of these two conditions may lead an animal or a human into
PLECHNER'S SYNDROME, and this is why IT IS SO VERY IMPORTANT TO
MEASURE TOTAL ESTROGEN BEFORE ANY HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL PRESCRIBES ANY FORM
OF ESTROGEN REPLACEMENT THERAPY.
Measuring TOTAL ESTROGEN in an animal is fairly easy if you find a
Veterinary Lab that is measuring TOTAL ESTROGEN. When measured in male
animals, there is no ovarian estrogen as there is not in spayed females since
the ovaries are removed in the spaying process. Those female animals that are
not spayed only produce ovarian estrogen once to twice a year normally. By way
of a vaginal smear, it is easy to know when not to test for TOTAL ESTROGEN.
In human males, there isn't any ovarian estrogen and only ADRENAL ESTROGEN,
or estrogen from other exogenous forms occurring in foods, plastics, and
municipal water. IN HUMAN FEMALES, IN ORDER TO DISTINGUISH BEWEEN OVARIAN
ESTROGEN FROM ADRENAL ESTROGEN, THERE WILL NEED TO BE TWO BLOOD SAMPLES TAKEN,
AND THEN A COMPARISON MADE BETWEEN THE TWO SAMPLES. THE FIRST SAMPLE IS USUALLY
TAKEN ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE WHEN THE OVARIAN ESTROGEN IS AT
ITS LOWEST, AND THEN TAKEN AGAIN TOWARDS THE END OF THE CYCLE WHEN THE OVARIAN
ESTROGEN IS AT ITS HIGHEST. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO IS THE ADRENAL
ESTROGEN. YOUR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL CAN HELP YOU DECIDE ON THE PROPER TIMING
TO TAKE THESE SAMPLES BASED ON YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE. Again, ingestion of
foods, water, and liquids that have come out of plastics must also be considered
as estrogen sources. Animal foods tend to have less estrogen in them, unless
they contain soy products or any products containing DDT. Water sources are also
a concern.
A SLOWDOWN IN OVARIAN ESTROGEN MAY NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE SINCE WOMEN IN
THEIR VARIOUS PHASES OF THEIR MENSTRUAL CYCLES WILL ALSO INCLUDE ADRENAL
ESTROGEN. THE OVARIAN AND THE ADRENAL ESTROGENS NEED TO BE SEPARATED.
The ranges of these combined estrogens can be huge. What then is normal for one
patient may not be normal for another. PLECHNER'S SYNDROME MAY HELP IN
THIS RESPECT BECAUSE THE SYNDROME MEASURES THE REGULATION OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
AND IF THE ANTIBODY PRODUCTION IS LOW, THIS MEANS THAT THE PATIENT HAS TOO MUCH
ESTROGEN, AND THAT AN ESTROGEN SUPPLEMENT MAY CAUSE NOT ONLY FURTHER ESTROGEN
DOMINANCE BUT MAY ALSO LEAD TO A CATASTROPHIC DISEASE.
