Do hormones cause cancer? Not really: if used properly, they help the body prevent cancer and even treat it, if necessary! Read, watch and understand:
🔗 For those who still believe the MYTH that all hormones cause cancer
🔗 Hormones - Clarify your doubts about them
The first link is an excellent text by our brilliant colleague, Dr. José Carlos Peixoto, on the subject - it's a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the subject of Hormones.
The second link is a short video of mine on the subject - I recommend that everyone watches it and listens carefully to what I say.
For you to think about:
1️⃣ Everything your body needs to build or repair itself depends on the raw materials and conditions you provide it with through your daily lifestyle habits (here's a quick overview).
2️⃣ If your cells, tissues, organs and systems don't have what they need to function properly, they tend to develop disorders such as inflammation, degeneration, tumors (including cancer), etc.
3️⃣ Every substance that enters the organism differently from what it produces will be chemically and physically treated as disruptive, aggressive, “foreign” to a greater or lesser extent; therefore, no substance “similar” to another produced by the human organism will have identical effects to those that are the same as what this organism produces.
4️⃣ Hormones are just messengers: in other words, they transmit the “order” from one place to another, for example, what substance a tissue or organ needs to produce. Therefore, if the “message” carried by a hormone is “carried out” by malfunctioning parts of an organism, the end result can be an abnormality, which will often be cancer. For this reason, many cases of cancer are mistakenly attributed to the use of hormones (when done properly, within the precepts widely explained and discussed in the links above) when, in fact, they were caused or aggravated by the patient's bad lifestyle habits.
5️⃣ Numerous current studies deny the mandatory relationship between hormones and cancer, but many insist on relying on old (and often poorly conducted) studies to support their prejudices. The fact is that several more recent studies even indicate the benefits of well-conducted hormone modulation (always together with the adoption and maintenance of good lifestyle habits by the patient) to help prevent and treat various disorders, including cancers.
6️⃣ In many cases, it is possible to restore optimum, adequate or sufficient hormone production in a patient without having to use hormones that have been proven to be lacking, not least because the body in question may not be producing them properly due to a lack of raw materials, intoxication, inflammation... And in these cases, correcting the deficiencies, excesses and disorders that are causing the change in hormone production tends to correct the hormonal part or improve it. However, as much as some people resist this, in many cases of hormonal disorders it is necessary to replace hormones externally (I only recommend bioidenticals in this case), temporarily or even permanently, in order to restore effective communication between cells, tissues, organs and systems, which are largely the responsibility of hormones (remember).
7️⃣ Think of an organism that lacks hormones like a company that lacks means of communication, such as telephones or delivery services. Even though it has the raw materials and resources to produce what it needs, the “employees” don't know exactly how or what to produce without effective communication.
8️⃣ Your doctor and other health professionals deal with hundreds of cases a month, while you only have one: yours! That's why you should be the main stakeholder in your own health: study, seek knowledge, get informed and updated from reliable sources, and use your common sense to decide what's best for you and your loved ones.
