Why are they \u201cmessengers\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2705 Where does the term \u201chormones\u201d come from?<\/strong><br>The origin of the word hormone is Greek, <em>HORMAO<\/em>, which means stimulus, movement. It was physiologists Ernest Starling and William Bayliss, both British, who identified the substances called hormones in 1902.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2705 What are they for?<\/strong><br>(Analogy between hormones and a city without media, or with insufficient media, or with errors in media)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2705 Who has hormones?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2705 Who needs hormones from time to time in life?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2705 The need for hormones tends to vary throughout the stages of life - does everyone always need them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who produces hormones in the body?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2705 What does the body need to produce hormones properly?<\/strong><br>Healthy lifestyle habits and quality food as a basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2705 Do hormones invariably cause cancer, heart attacks, strokes, thrombosis and other problems?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bioidenticals are safer, but anything can cause problems if misused.<\/strong><br>Even medicines, supplements and water: understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rational use of hormones:<\/strong><br>Only for those with good lifestyle habits, preferably bioidentical, avoid oral administration, use the lowest possible dose and, preferably, use guided by tests (for those who have reliable tests available for evaluation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to treat hormonal deficiencies?<\/strong><br>Allow the body to produce its own hormones in the quantity it needs. When this fails or symptoms require more urgent intervention, replenish the necessary hormones, preferably with bioidenticals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2705 Why shouldn't you use hormones before improving your lifestyle?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2705 Who can prescribe hormones?<\/strong><br>A good, up-to-date endocrinologist, based on quality knowledge, certainly \u201cknows more\u201d about the subject - but any doctor can prescribe them, as long as, preferably out of common sense and in the patient's best interests, they have sufficient knowledge, training and practice to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2705 Dangers of contraceptives and hormones with a different molecular structure to what the body recognizes as its own<\/strong><br>(Greater chance of the body trying to neutralize the \u201cforeign\u201d molecule)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important note<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea here is not to exhaust the subject, be the \u201cowner of the truth\u201d or replace your health professional's advice on your case. After all, they're the ones who know your clinical condition and your tests and who are monitoring you. My idea with this video was to try to help answer the main questions on the subject in question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note Dr. \u00cdcaro - I'm not an endocrinologist: I'm a homeopath, with a post-graduate degree in Orthomolecular Medicine and Sports Nutrology (in progress).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The video is homemade and therefore not very good quality, for which I apologize, but I hope it fulfills its purpose of providing quality information.
