@peanutspatty these are compounds which are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body. They are usually obtained by prescription from a compounding pharmacy.

@claudianow what exadtly are bio-identical hormones ?
id like to know because i suffer with acne and cystic ones too. so anything that dosent mean taking antibiotics or taking birth control im all for.

I too have PCOS, just got diagnosed last week. My doctor put me on birth control. But right now I am in the progress of losing weight. Do you think if I start taking the pills, it will delay my weight loss progress?

I also got off birth control four months ago and my skin is worse than its ever been…I mean, Ive never had horrible acne to start with, just mainly scarring and a minor break-out here and there…now its so bad
How long do you suppose it will take for my body to stabilize again??? My periods seem to be getting back to normal…….

Doctors now days push drugs on you so bad. When I was pregnant, their answer to everything was- drugs.
During my labor they were trying to talk me into taking epidural so bad. Thank God I didn’t give in, even though I had a very long labor. I was more afraid of taking that drug than the actual labor and delivery. And, after delivering baby EVERY nurse offered me ibuprofen, so frustrating!!! I refuse and refuse, and they look at me like I’m stupid for not taking the drugs.

Oddly, most mainstream doctors know very little if anything about our own bioidentical hormones, while they love to prescribe chemicalized hormones that they got “educated” about by the pharmaceuticals. So yeah, it was a battle to get my doctor to give me the hormones. You have to bring them some material to educate them and talk them into it.
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:11 pm
so how does one get thise bio chemical hormones to treat insomnia? thank you for answering my questions
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:26 pm
Our hormones use a lock and key system, and the fake chemical hormones fit into some of our cells but in some cells their fake key doesn’t fit and so our cells aren’t deriving the benefit offered by our own natural hormones. A horse has 13 different estrogens, and most of these are found in your birth control pills. For some crazy reason, doctors will try to tell you that fake chemicals (horse estrogens) are better than your own hormones! I dont get it!
August 22nd, 2010 at 9:22 pm
These are compounded hormones (made by a pharmacist) that are the exact same molecular structure as our own hormones that our body produces. Chemicalized hormones such as Prempro and all birth control pills, as well as the Merena IUD (which killed my natural progesterone system), have hormones that try to mirror our own natural hormones but are different from our own hormones so the company can obtain a patent. These hormones wreak havoc in our bodies because they are foreign molecules.

what are bio identical hormones?
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:22 pm
I have taken birth control since I was 11 years old. I have been trying to get off of it for years but I keep getting my period for months at a time. I’m now 22 and still rely on bc and don’t know what else to do.

I will have to agree, the scarf definately brings out your essence. Sexy Canadians are serious business.

there is a natural way you can control pregnancy –by regulating when you have sex. Research it!
August 23rd, 2010 at 12:53 am
Awesome topic!
You should wear scarfs more often…. really accents your complextion
August 23rd, 2010 at 1:36 am
yeah it takes time
August 23rd, 2010 at 1:47 am
I agree that birth control messes with your hormones and has side effects and stuff, however, a barrier method can be less than 80% effective in preventing pregnancy, so it’s always much much safer to use a barrier method for preventing STDs and birth control.
August 23rd, 2010 at 2:37 am
Very interesting…. not ready to ditch birth control, just yet, but I will take these things into consideration.
August 23rd, 2010 at 3:21 am
Yes, chemicalized hormones are the WORST. Often people get suckered into treating their hormonal problems with birth control pills or other chemicalized preparations that are not identical to our own hormones. Rebecca pls spread the word about this! You can treat yourself with bio-identical hormones if you have insomnia and other hormonal issues (excessive bleeding etc, acne etc) and they work so well whereas fake hormones (like the pill) derived from a horse OBVIOUSLY are not good for us.

I personally think most doctors are a sham…… all they do is diagnose you and put you on some poisonous pharmaceuticals that keeps you sick, and causes even more complications such as cancer etc…
It’s a hard issue to deal with some people on though….. people are just plain unaware, when the fuck are ppl gonna wake uP? Most ppl I try to inform don’t even seem to give a shit…. YAY LETS ALL DIE OF CANCER COOOOOOOL
August 23rd, 2010 at 4:35 am
what kind of acne do you have? have you tried drinking celery juice or cucumber juice? they flush out toxins quicker. I still eat a lot of fruit for energy which allows me to stay on the raw food diet.

@annure5 – I agree with Natasha. I was told if I go off the pill to expect it to take 3 months for hormones to completely balance. I have been on the pill forever. I am 46 and not in a position to have another child this late in the game, so I stay on it (and I have no problems with it either). But I hear if I went off it would be an adjustment. I also know it is not the healthiest situation, but that’s why I am continuing my (fairly new) raw journey, to keep countering the toxins!
August 23rd, 2010 at 6:30 am
sound advice. good video.

@stripeyteacups
I’ve been doing mostly raw for 3 months and lots of green juices with spinach, kale, and cilantro for about a month. I even did a 6 day juice fast. I’m a very healthy person so I don’t understand why it is taking this long.
