What Is the Endocrine (or Hormonal) System?
Not much has been known about the body’s Endocrine System until recently.
Its activities were thought mysterious and possibly only of secondary
importance. But now we’re realizing just how essential a healthy Endocrine
System is, what it actually does, how it's governed and how to ensure
its balance and operation with the rest of the body. The Endocrine System
is the biochemical system of the body which controls and regulates the
function of our entire metabolism through the production and direction
of all of our hormones. The Endocrine System and its activities are specifically
governed by parts of the brain (namely the neuroendocrine apparatus of
the medial basal hypothalamus, the pineal gland and the pituitary gland),
but it also involves other areas of the body including the major endocrine
hormone-producing glands: Thyroid, Thymus, Parathyroids, Heart, Gastric
and Intestinal Mucosa, Adrenals, Pancreas (pancreatic islets), the Testes
in men, and even the Heart. Within the Endocrine System there are literally
hundreds of types of hormones produced, some of which merely stimulate
the release of still larger even more pronounced hormones. Nearly every
process in our body is kept in balance by this incredibly complex, but
precise, interaction of our hormones and their neural balancing function
on all body activities.
Is the Endocrine (or Hormonal) System Involved with Aging?
Yes, it is. The Endocrine System directly controls the process of aging,
including how fast or slow we will age and how healthy we will be in the
process. Through the directions of the Endocrine System, its hormones
actually guide the body in its daily metabolic feats. Hormones manufactured
by the Endocrine System directly govern the welfare of our whole body,
keeping us young, healthy and happy. Hormones are often the critical “conductors”
of our “biochemical orchestra,” making sure that everybody else within
the biochemistry of our body's reads from the same “sheet music” and plays
their part at the right time with the rest of the band without anyone
missing a beat. Hormones can help us delay the aging process, keeping
us young and generally free from disease.
What Do Some Of These Hormones Specifically Do?
Hormones like GH (Growth Hormone or Somatotrophin) are critical
to all forms of growth, healing, and repair in the body.  Hormones
like TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) play a critical role in stimulating
the thyroid to release its respective hormones, T3 and T4, which
directly influence the metabolic rate of all cells of the body,
helping us to metabolize food stores (fat and glycogen) efficiently,
giving us energy and orchestrating the use of other biological materials
throughout the day, as well as keeping us young, active and alert.
ACTH (from the Pituitary Gland) stimulates the adrenal cortex to
synthesize and secrete some of its hormones, like DHEA (discussed
in the next section), Pregnenolone (the “Memory” Hormone), Adrenalin
(epinephrine) which increases body metabolism, a small amount of
Estrogen (both the ovaries and the adrenals produce Estrogen), and
Aldosterone which stimulates the kidneys to retain sodium and water.
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH - from the Pituitary Gland) acts in opposition
to Aldosterone to dispel excess water and sodium. Calcitonin (also
produced by the thyroid) helps to increase blood calcium levels
while promoting the conservation of hard bone matrix, while Parathyroid
Hormone (PTH) acts as a direct antagonist; together these two hormones
help maintain calcium balance within the blood- stream and keep
bones dense and healthy. Normal neuromuscular excitability, blood
clotting, cell membrane permeability and the normal functioning
of certain enzymes, all depend on the maintenance of normal levels
of calcium in the blood. The Thymus, although generally considered
to be a lymphatic organ, secretes two families of peptide-hormones,
thymosin and thympoietin, which play a critical role in the development
of the immune system’s T-cells.
Pancreatic Hormones such as
Glucagon, Insulin, Somatostatin and Pancreatic polypeptide all aid in
regulating body metabolism, glucose and fat production as well as in the
inhibition of Growth Hormone. The Gastric and Intestinal Mucosa produce
Gastrin, Secretin, Cholecystokinin-pancreozymin (CCK) and others which
control digestion and assimilation of foods. The hormone CCK is most importantly
involved with appetite and eating. Upon its secretion, it immediately
travels to the Hypothalamus within the brain to “shut down” appetite.
When its secretion is delayed or diminished, over-eating is often the
result! Researchers are also finding that previously defined “sex-typed”
hormones manufactured by the Endocrine System are not only necessary for
reproductive possibilities, but serve a myriad of other essential health
sustaining functions as well. Testosterone, for example, allows males
to keep their hair and not go bald as well as develop muscle mass (even
late in life), while Estrogen and Progesterone maintain women’s smooth
and supple skin, protect their hair and eyes as well as many other functions
within the body, including the maintenance of bone density, thus preventing
osteoporosis. Again, when the Endocrine System is not functioning properly,
or has been interfered with by chemical look-a-likes such as the estrogen-like
hormones coming from canned foods (see next page), our health suffers
dramatically, and we age much, much more quickly!
Can Hormones Really Affect Our Overall Health?
Yes, most certainly! Now, more than ever, it’s time to seriously take
care of and nutritionally rebalance our Endocrine System. Hormonal balance
is now being seen as critically essential to the maintenance of good health
and a strong Immune System. Indeed, Endocrine System functioning and our
health are intimately related... you can’t speak about the Immune System
without referencing the essential organic hormonal steroids of the Endocrine
system. In fact, researchers recently are discovering that a number of
hormones from within the Endocrine System play a significant role with
“T-cell markers” within the Immune System, such as some of the ones previously
mentioned, and most notably DHEA.
What is DHEA?
DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is commonly called the “mother” hormone,
since from it a number of other hormones may be manufactured upon demand,
such as estrogen, testosterone, progesterone and corticosterone to name
just a few. Because of DHEA’s biochemical flexibility, it has become the
subject of much recent study, especially for its almost unbelievable but
wonderful potential to actually slow the aging process. Some are even
calling it the “fountain of youth” anti-aging elixir we’ve all been looking
for. More and more research is being published about DHEA production and
the body’s need for it. For example, recent studies have demonstrated
that DHEA levels in our blood generally peak around 20 years of age. As
we grow older, DHEA levels decrease in both men and women to only about
5% of our peak levels by the time we’re 80. Understandably, researchers
have seen a strong inverse correlation between DHEA levels and disease.
It appears that the higher the level of DHEA in the blood, the less an
organism may suffer from disease. Further, published studies have demonstrated
that appropriate supplementation of DHEA could possibly be a factor in
decreasing the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity,
even senility, Alzheimer’s disease and premature death.
Is it Safe and Wise to Supplement with DHEA?
Yes it is! DHEA may play other important roles within the body,
such as in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome, aging, osteoporosis
and bone health, as well as many of the autoimmune disorders including
arthritis, systemic lupus, and Crohn’s disease. In lab tests, DHEA
reduced the fat stores of rats by converting fat calories to heat
rather than storing them as fat, while at the same time helping
the body to produce lean muscle tissue. (Not too surprisingly, naturally-occurring
DHEA and its precursors can also be found in VÄXA’s Cell-U-Lite
and Ultra CitriSlim!) More and more scientific support is emerging
which calls for early supplementation of DHEA and its nutritional
precursors (such as the “Memory” Hormone
Can Environmental Factors and Pollutants Disturb Hormonal Imbalance?
Yes they can! It’s recently become widely known that the chemical pollution
of excess man-made Estrogens are very real and proliferate in our environment
(as independently documented on CBS, the Discovery Channel, and other
news programs). These chemical pollutants offer a very real threat to
our body’s Endocrine (hormonal) System which affects various bodily functions,
including sexuality. A case in point, our health and welfare are being
threatened from something that nobody ever thought dangerous: the common
tin can! The modern process of canning foods in tin cans lined with a
thin layer of plastic is not as innocuous as has been first believed.
Ironically, although today’s canned goods are keeping foods from spoiling,
they’re “spoiling” us instead. As reported, it seems that all canned goods
are inadvertently supplying us with unwanted estrogen-like hormones, apparently
coming from a newly discovered reaction between the tin and the plastic
liner over time. This unwanted cumulative chemical addition is believed
to have dire consequences within our bodies, adding a synthetic steroidal
hormone which directly interferes with the normal function of the critically
important Endocrine System in both males and females.
Can Our Lifestyle (diet,exercise habits, etc.) Cause HormonaI Imbalance As Well?
Yes again! Not only do these chemical pollutants interfere with our body’s
hormonal balance, but bad or inadequate diet, poor nutritional habits,
erratic eating patterns, lack of exercise, mounting periods of ill health,
and the nutritional wearing-down which often occurs when growing older,
all combine to dull our health and further compromise the Endocrine System.
Although not often understood, the body’s Endocrine System intricately
impresses itself upon the cellular nature of our complexion, our psychology
and mood, our muscle tone (including appropriate gender-specific muscle
growth and formation), the clearness of our eyes, the health and shine
of our hair, even our body’s ability to heal itself. In fact, much of
that which allows us to be happy and “balanced” in life we really owe
to the wonder of our body’s Endocrine System and its ability to maintain
a precise, yet flexible balance over time.
Hypothalamic Potentiation of Some of the Major Pituitary Hormones and the Organs They Affect in
the Endocrine System
How Does the Men’s Strategy Pac Work?
The Men’s Strategy Pac consists of three unique formulations, (1)
Endocrin For Men, (2) Eternal-In, and (3) Prostatin+, respectively, in
each Pac. It works to normalize Endocrine function through Homeopathic
stimulation of the body, and through the replenishment of critical nutritional
elements and hormones which serve as precursors and cofactors to the biochemical
processes of healthy, balanced hormonal production, while helping the
body protect against premature aging and associated dysfunction.
How Does Endocrin for Men Work?
Endocrin for Men is a homeopathic medicinal expressly engineered
for men, serving as an all-natural strategy to safely rebalance
the male hormonal system. Homeopathic Medicines contained herein
address a number of recurrent or continuing problems including lack
of sexual desire, functional impotence, failure of erections, weak
erections, failure to ejaculate, premature ejaculation, diminution
of genitalia, sexual melancholia and sexual neurosis. Endocrin for
Men contains DHEA derived from nature (Barbasco Yam Tubor extract:
Dioscurea Macho Stachya) and safe buffered amounts of pure pharmaceutical
grade DHEA (the “Mother” Hormone) as well as Pregnenolone (the “Memory” Hormone).
Endocrin for Men also contains pharmaceutical
grade free-form amino acids, the necessary vitamins and cofactors
which help potentiate this formula, and the correct balance of Homeopathic
Medicines and specific phytomedicinal ingredients from rare and
exotic Chinese and South American Herbs, such as Radix Morindae,
Multiflori Polygoni, Rehmanniae Glutinosa, Lycium Chinense, and
Yohimbe, Catuaba and Quibracho bark extracts containing potent alkaloids,
plus other cofactors believed to be required by the Male body in
order to allow healthy physiological hormonal/sexual function and
proper balance of biochemical and nutritional necessities.
 How Does Eternal-In Work?
This homeopathic medicinal formula works in concert with the body,
complementing and supplying the necessary anti-aging nutritive requirements
that the skin uses to repair itself, allowing it to maintain its elasticity
and safeguarding against premature aging of the skin. Specifically, Homeopathic
Medicines within Eternal-In aid in the reduction of emaciated shrivelled
skin, premature wrinkling, folds in the skin, skin ulcers, cutaneous eruptions,
some pre-cancerous states of the skin, senile prutitis (itching skin due
to sensitized nerve endings), necrosis, hair loss in men or baldness,
lymphatic inflammations which generally “backup” into the skin creating
acne-like problems, and regulation of optimal blood formation within the
dermis, epidermis and elsewhere. Eternal-In also supplies Pycnogenol®,
a powerful antioxidant well documented to help regenerate and sustain
fine capillary function, acting against the development of unsightly spider
veins within the skin. L-Cysteine and L-Cystine aids in restoring the
natural color to hair. Eternal-In also supplies DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol,
a very efficient antioxidant and free radical deactivator) which reverses
the formation of lipofuscin, a toxic pigment which clogs the brain and
nerve cells as we age, while also becoming deposited within the epidermis
as unsightly age/liver spots. But most importantly, DMAE has considerable
life extending properties even when started late in life, shown to have
extended the life of mice 36.6% who had already past their mean expected
lifespan. DMAE is now added to the whole blood stored for transfusion
purposes so as to double its storage life, preventing the clumping and
sludging of red blood cells. DMAE can also enter the brain easily, and
being converted to acetylcholine, increases mental alertness and mood,
as well as learning and memory abilities. Eternal-In also includes Ginkgo
Biloba, L-Glutathione, ActiVin+®, OptiZinc® and the Homeopathic Medicine
Sarsaparilla, as well as the necessary free-form amino acid precursors
to maintain our youth and health, and all which aid the body in usefully
eradicating “free radicals,” thought to be a major factor of wrinkling
and aging.
How Does Prostatin+ Work?
Prostatin+ is a homeopathic medicinal especially for men over
35 years of age. This formula provides essential medication and
nutrition for the prostate gland, and especially for those suffering
from mild to moderate Benign Prostatic Hyplasia (BPH), providing
relief for general prostatic hypertrophy where dysfunction may lead
to inappropriate enlargements and swellings of the prostate which
often prove painful and incapacitating regarding the abilities to
pass urine, frequent micturation at night, as well as to perform
normally, regarding sexual function. With the proper specific Homeopathic
and nutritional regime, the body often has the ability to heal itself,
even with problems of this type and magnitude. Homeopathics used
in Prostatin+ have been well documented regarding their efficacy
of BPH symptomatology and relief. Also, scientific research on Saw
Palmetto in Prostatin+ can be used as a primary treatment for both
short-term and long-term treatment of BPH, with little or no side
effects (no reduction of libido) as compared to synthetic pharmaceuticals.
Saw Palmetto’s mechanism of action appears to be due in part to
its activity on the steroidal-enzyme named 5-a-reductase, and the
anti-edematous actions of the free fatty acids in the Saw Palmetto
berry. Clinical studies have shown that when 5-a-reductase is inhibited,
the hormone testosterone will not be converted within the prostate
to dehydrotestosterone, and the prostate generally atrophies (shrinks
glandular hyperplasia), subsequently deobstructing the urethra for
easier urinary flow, and thereafter preventing the development of
incontinence because of exhaustive bladder failure. Finally, in
a conservative study that used lower dosages of Saw Palmetto and
Nettle than can be found in Prostatin+, over a 12-week period patients
reported a 25.8% increase in maximum urinary flow, a 29.0% increase
in mean urinary flow, a 44.7% reduction in residual urine, a 50.4%
reduction in nocturia, a 62.5% reduction in dysuria and a 53.6%
reduction in post-void dribbling. Interestingly, most popular conventional
pharmaceuticals used for BPH, whether for inhibiting hormones or
a-adrenergic blockers (smooth muscle relaxers), often demonstrate
little change within the first six months of therapy. Moreover,
Saw Palmetto is also a research candidate as a potential deterrent
to prostate cancer. And Taxus Brevifolia (the Pacific Yew Tree),
yet another ingredient in Prostatin+, contains “taxol” which has
demonstrated high cytotoxic effect on prostatic cancer cells, or
in other words, has been found to be phytomedicinally active against
prostate cancer. (Interestingly the hydrolyzation of testosterone
to dehydrotestosterone is thought to be the culprit behind male
baldness; the “perverted” molecule resting at the root of hair follicles
which signals them to “go to sleep or hibernate.” By stopping the
hydrolyzation of testosterone, it may be possible to reverse certain
forms of male baldness.)
