‘First, Do No Harm:’ Why DzLogic uses Bioidentical Hormones Exclusively

This entry is part 5 of 8 in the series What is DzLogic?

Real Human Hormones (or bioidenticals) actually prevent most conditions caused by aging.

The Father of Western Medicine, Hippocrates, is often quoted as laying down the ‘Prime Directive’ of medical care – “First, Do No Harm.” That is a way of thinking we take very seriously at DzLogic.

There has been, and will continue to be, ‘public and media’ controversy about the safety of hormones. However, this is simply the result of people not having the facts presented properly. As I mentioned in the last blog, the root of the controversy continues to be the inaccurate use of terms by writers who don’t know the difference between real human hormones and “conjugated equine estrogens” (concentrated pregnant horse urine). They continue to call that ‘stuff’ estrogen!

These same writers also use the term ‘progesterone’ for synthetic lab creations that should be referred to as progestins, progestogens, progesterone-like substances – basically any term except progesterone. This travesty of language abuse goes all the way to National Institutes of Health papers.

The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) Study began in 1991 and included over 160,000 women. It studied the outcome of using Premarin in place of real human estrogens and synthetic progestins in place of human progesterone. It was stopped prematurely when a number of horrible effects of these substances came to light:

26% increase in invasive breast cancer
29% increase in heart attacks
41% increase in strokes

The WHI results scared a lot of women away from conventional, pharmaceutical HRT (Prempro and progestins) – which is a good thing! Without this data, your mother, your wife and/or your daughter could have died from the unknown side effects of these drugs. If they already suffered from one of the above after being on conventional HRT, you have our deepest sympathies and we share your rage.

If real human hormones caused these things, breast cancer, heart attacks and strokes would be rampant among 20-something women when their hormone levels are highest, right? Look around & think about it. Is that happening? NO! Real human hormones (or bioidenticals) actually protect against these issues. These conditions happen later in life when hormone levels drop.

Dr. Kent Holtorf wrote an excellent paper on the differences between Bioidentical hormones vs. Big Pharma synthesized products. It discusses the destructive effects of synthetics and the protective effects of bioidenticals. If you are a woman, or a man who loves a woman, please read it! We have it and another of Dr. Holtorf’s more extensive papers “Hormones in Wellness” available to you on our website as reference works.

On the male side, we have the same problem – misinformation posing as medical gospel. Testosterone contributes to prostate cancer, right? That’s why there are millions of men on what Dr. Dzugan calls “chemical castration” – androgen deprivation therapy – with (surprise, surprise) Big Pharma created products that destroy your natural testosterone production. Testosterone causes heart attacks, too – right?

I’m going right back to my original argument on this one. If testosterone causes or contributes to prostate cancer and heart attacks, then every testosterone-crazed 18-year-old male is in serious danger, right? WRONG. Once again, these conditions show up late in life after hormone levels drop. The original research that created this line of thinking was based on two men and a discredited test, yet it somehow became the dominant thought.

Dr. Abe Morgentaler, Professor at Harvard University, has made a couple of great videos on the subject of testosterone therapy for men. I think you’ll love hearing about what he and his fellow researchers at Harvard have discovered.

Bioidentical Hormones vs. Pharmaceutical “Creations”

/in , , /by
This entry is part 3 of 8 in the series What is DzLogic?

Bioidentical Hormones are exact duplicates of what your body already makes.

Hormone Therapy – or what is called “Hormone Therapy” – has been around for the last 40 years or more. The problem is that what was called “Hormone Replacement Therapy” replaced human hormones with animal hormones and lab-created patentable chemicals that aren’t quite anything except lab-created patentable chemicals!

The Problem in the Industry:

Real human hormones can’t be patented, so there isn’t a huge profit in selling them like there is on something you have an ‘exclusive’ on. Synthetic knock-offs are also cheaper to manufacture, are up to 100 times as powerful and have a longer shelf life.

The estrogenic product ‘Premarin’  (which is now being promoted as a vaginal cream) has its name derived from its primary source – pregnant mare urine! They take the hormones from horse urine and package them for over a $Billion in sales to women all over the world. Some of those horse hormones are pretty close to human hormones, but none of them are human and some of them are 20 times as powerful. They were created by – and for – a 1200 lb. animal after all.

As a woman reading this, would you ever want horse hormones anywhere near your body? I’m betting you wouldn’t! As a man, I know don’t want my sweetheart going down that road. I guess most women have never heard what it really is. However, if you read the label it clearly says “conjugated equine estrogen” – horse hormones. I hear that it break open one of the pill forms of Premarin and smell it, you’ll know what it is instantly. Yuck!

That’s on the estrogen side of things for women. On the progesterone side, pharmaceutical companies have created a dozen versions of things they call “progestins.” These compounds aren’t progesterone, but they were ‘close enough’ to get FDA approval. That “close enough but not quite” aspect of their chemistry is also what has their advertising have to mention things like blood clots, heart attacks, breast cancer, etc.

I want you to take a few minutes and sit in on a conversation between Suzanne Somers, Dr. Prudence Hall and Dr. Abe Morgentaler on what a difference bioidenticals can make for you.

What Makes DzLogic Different?

We use Bioidentical hormones.

Bioidentical hormones are just that – bioidentical. They are identical to the hormones your body already makes. These are manufactured products as well. (They aren’t harvested from people who have too much of a good thing!) They are manufactured from plant sources that have compounds in them that allow FDA-regulated laboratories to convert them into exact duplicates of human hormones.

One of the things that really irritate me about this entire area of conversation is the incredibly sloppy, inaccurate use of language in many of the articles and even scientific papers you’ll see. Writers will say “estrogen” when talking about horse “stuff.” They’ll use the term “progesterone” when referring to the Frankensteinian “progestins.” I honestly think some of this is intentional. No wonder there is so much confusion in people’s minds! You practically have to be a biochemist to know what compounds are being studied and talked about – and where to tally the results.

DzLogic uses Bioidentical Hormones exclusively. They are what your body produces naturally and are completely safe if used properly. I’ll give you plenty of evidence in our next blog. See you there!

Are your Chronologically Old, or just Biologically Old?

/in , /by
This entry is part 2 of 8 in the series What is DzLogic?

Your chronological age is fixed, but your biological age CAN be changed!

Garth Brooks wrote a hit song in the late 80’s entitled “I’m Much Too Young To Feel This Damn Old!”

 

Do you feel like that sometimes – or all of the time?

The Bad News:

We can’t do a thing about when we arrived on Earth, right? Every day, our chronological age simply keeps growing. As a result, most people think age and aging is a set thing and nothing can be done about the signs of aging we see on our face, eyes, hands and body.

But did you know we can do a lot about how we feel for the time we’re here and practically reverse the signs of aging that other people experience?

The Good News!

Your chronological age is fixed, but your biological age CAN be changed! Reversed in some cases.

“Biological Age” is the condition of your body and body chemistry relative to what is normal for people in a specific age range. Have you ever gone to a class reunion and been amazed at the stunning differences in how your friends have aged? Some have barely changed, but others are really showing the years. That’s the difference in Biological vs. Chronological aging.

Biological Age is impacted by many things. Some people just have great genetics and don’t seem to age like the rest of us. However, the rest of us poor folks are affected dramatically by our environment and lifestyle.

The Things That Age Us:

Air and water pollution will age you if you aren’t careful about what you breathe and drink. Processed foods with more chemicals than actual food sources on the label will age you. High Fructose Corn Syrup is probably the very last thing you’d want in your body, and it is in almost all processed foods in some form. Smoking will age you quickly.

So what if you live a healthy lifestyle, eat well, get exercise and good sleep – but you still want to turn back the clock? You can now control your body chemistry to a degree that was unheard of 20 years ago.

Your hormone levels and balance are going to degrade as you age – “normally.” And with that, your health declines as well. However, you don’t have to just accept it as we did in the past. DzLogic works to restore your hormones and body chemistry to what you had in your late 20’s or early 30’s. Wouldn’t you like to get back to that Biological Age?”

Coming up next – How we help you turn back the clock and the things we use to do it!

Because every person’s body chemistry is different, we work closely with you to develop a personalized program that improves your overall Quality of Life.

Why Men Should Care About Estrogen

/in /by

For a long time, estrogen was considered only important to women. Thanks to research, we now know that is not the case.

So, Why Should Men Care About Estrogen?

Two words: sex drive.

Yes, testosterone is a major player when it comes to “manhood,” but estrogen may be just as important.  Both hormones were found to affect a man’s sex drive, with deficiencies in both leading to a low libido.

Furthermore, estrogen deficiencies are linked to increases in a man’s body fat, which in turn can lead to a higher chance of high blood pressure, heart issues, and type 2 diabetes.

 

What You Can Do to Fix It

Balance is key.

As noted, not enough estrogen contributes to a slew of medical conditions. But you should also know that too much estrogen can cause heart problems and feminization of the body.

To help men achieve a proper estrogen level, we recommend a two-pronged approach.

  1. As is the case with many medical conditions, a healthy lifestyle can help. This means eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly!
  2. Older men may also want to consider bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). BHRT is a restorative medicine technique that naturally optimizes testosterone, estrogen and many other hormone levels without causing the nasty side effects associated with prescription medications.

Because balance is key, and because every person is different, we will work closely with you to develop a personalized BHRT program that not only gives you your sex drive back, but improves your overall quality of life.
