Question
I've recently had some blood work done because I have been missing my cycle since Aug 2006 (has since come back...this week).
I asked my doctor about my test results and it shows that the testosterone in my body was at 3.60 nmol/L and the normal range is 0.20-2.90 nmol/L. I'm obviously above normal range. Are my results extremely high? Can I take some sort of herbs/vitamins that can help lower it? I do not want to take anti hormonal medicine.
thanks.

Answer
Dear Kristie,

Thank you for your question.

Addressing and solving elevated testosterone levels is quite a simple matter actually. One must look to the causing factors; What you would need to do is re-balance the estrogen/progesterone levels in your body rather than block or limit estrogen production, and you would address the stress your adrenals are currently undergoing. This will effectively normalize testosterone.

Re-balancing your hormones is simple; follow a good diet (info added below) and take the nutritional super-food found below. Take 2 ounces of this daily on an empty stomach. 1 ounce twice per day. This effectively gives the body the right amount of nutrition to rebalance both estrogen and progesterone levels.

Your adrenals will be addressed by getting enough sleep every night, this is of great importance. Getting into bed by 10PM every night will really help.

Also, it is important to learn to release stress or prevent stress in your mind; this will help every system in your body not just the adrenals. There is a very effective stress release program that i can send you some free links on to give you an idea of how it works. Email me for that info if you are interested: second-sun@shaw.ca
Add "stress release links" to the subject line.

One of the other things that we have found to worsen stress on the mind is actually electro-magnetic radiation given off by computers, monitors, printers, cell phones, near by cell towers, anything electronic, even the wiring in the walls has some effect on the physiology.

Since i myself have suffered these effects in the past, i needed a solution. The company below doesn't seem to advertise much but their products tested higher than any other i came across. This solved the problem for me completely.

I would recommend wearing the "environmental protection card" and having the "safe space 1" in your work/home environment. The addition of wrapping the cables exiting from the electrical panel or fuse box in your home would be a very good idea as well, as this converts the home's electrical system from a negative to a positive frequency. I believe their "energy strips" accomplish this.

Dietary Recommendations:

Cut out all soy products except fermented soy. Miso, tempeh and soy sauce are healthy. [fermented]

Soy contains goitrogens, which depress thyroid functions. It also contains phytic acid, which hinders the body's
ability to absorb proteins, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. In general, it is an enzyme inhibitor.

Do not drink pasteurized milk as it is quite harmful. Take only certified organic or raw milk.

Make sure you avoid all artificial sweeteners:
splenda, sucralose, aspartame, nutra-sweet, equal, acesulfame potassium.

Splenda/sucralose has become popular these days and is just as toxic as aspartame. These sweeteners are found in store bought vitamins, protein powders, anything sugar-free, gum, chocolate, soda... etc.

Please read labels carefully and cut out all artificial sweeteners. This is very important.

Both soy and artificial sweeteners weaken the immune system.

Cut out all margarine and hydrogenated fats. Cut out canola, rapeseed and soybean oils.
These are very unhealthy. Replace with butter, ghee, unrefined coconut oil, sesame oil, and virgin olive oil.  

7 glasses of water per day is a good idea to help flush out toxins from the body. Warm or room temperature water, never cold. Never drink tap water. It must be filtered. Avoid drinking distilled water. It leads to mineral depletion and hair loss.

Vaccines:

This is a subject that most do not pay enough attention to. Vaccines are actually harmful. This has been proven by medical doctors/physicians.

You can do some research on Google:
"dangers of vaccinations". You can search for vaccine information at this site also:  www.mercola.com

I know there is a lot of information here, but go through it slowly and a step at a time. Email me if you have any further questions.

With best wishes,
