According to Dr. Doris Rapp MD, the worlds leading Pediatric Allergist and Specialist in Environmental Medicine, the overflow of estrogen in the foods and environment is the reason so many young men born since the 1970’s look, sound and act feminized in their physiques, voices, mannerisms and sexual preferences. (1,2). The soy formula had since 1973 is a major contributor to this process and to men reaching Andropause earlier than previously. Each bottle of soy baby formula contains 5 to 8 birth control pills worth of estrogen! (3). One simply cannot feed a boy that much estrogen (or any estrogen) and not expect there to be trouble! (4). At infancy and toddlerhood, is a time when infant boys are supposed to have the testosterone level of an 18 year old! This high testosterone level in boys 3 months to 3 years old produces the sexual differentiation in the anterior pituitary needed to tell a boy he’s a man.
So now, the men who were fed the first soy formulas as infants are in the 30-35 year old group. They are wandering into doctor’s offices asking for v****. But the answer to the changes they see and feel cannot be had with a pill that merely improves circulation. Andropause is a time when a man’s hormone production begins to change during the planned obsolesce the body has that ultimately leads to death. Anti-aging medicine tells us that it is testosterone and progesterone that begin to lag in men at andropause, while estrogen production is increased. It is dopamine and oxytocin levels that begin to lower in the brain while prolactin levels increase. How is this planned obsolesence? The answer is simple.
Higher estrogen causes inflammation. Today, medicine is worried about the hormone created by body fat that creates inflammation. That hormone is estrogen, specifically the Estradiol and Estrone variants of human estrogen. Medicine knows that inflammation is the root cause of most all non-infectious disease (i.e. diabetes, heart disease, lung fibrosis, cancer, Alzheimer’s etc.) as all have as their starting point inflammation. After they start, it is continued inflammation that drives the development of these conditions. Physiology knows, even if medicine refuses to admit the fact for reasons of liability, that it is estrogen that drives the formation of fibrosis diseases in women (i.e. endometriosis, uterine fibroids, fibrocystic breast disease etc.). It is this estrogen dominance that creates the chronic inflammation that in both sexes decreases the size and diminishes the function of our internal organs as we age. By our 70’s, our internal organs have shrunk to 1/2 or less of their young adult previous size. This is so significant that in med school anatomy it is taught that this fibrosis is actually what kills us all as the visceral dysfunction it causes leads us to chronic disease. (5)
Andropause like menopause is a time of very low or no testosterone and progesterone production (progesterone is what protects testosterone and keeps it from turning into estrogen and keeps both from becoming Di Hydro Testosterone). The only hormone being produced in any substantial amounts is estrogen and with it the signs of estrogen dominance and estrogen's conversion into DHT appear:
Lack of morning erections when awaking. (Testosterone is made between 2 and 4 a.m. and 2 and 4 p.m.). No morning erections equals no testosterone production that night).
Smaller less stronger and less frequent erections, with an overall shrinkage of penis size.
Hair loss from the head while there is, Increased hair growth on back
Gynocomasty (beast development in men or “man titsâ€)
Loss of muscle mass,
Flabbiness,
Loose saggy skin
Loss of mental drive, (i.e. no get up and go. Testosterone is the anti depression “I’m invincible†hormone. As we know from PMS estrogen is the hormone of depression.)
Lowered or lack of libido
Smaller less pleasurable orgasms,
Lowered volume of ejaculation,
Back pains,
Generalized weakness,
Swollen prostate.
