The Effect of Female/Male Hormone Disruptors
This was a very interesting article. As I read this article I thought about my patient. He is male in early 50's who had increased urination. He was concerned about waking up at night and losing sleep. More so about prostate cancer risk. So he got a series of medical tests including a prostate exam, followed by a vaccination then a PSA blood work, in that order. What they found was an increased PSA which decreased one month later upon re-testing the PSA levels. He did not get the prostate exam or the vaccination shot at the time of re-testing. So one wonders what caused the increased PSA levels? Thankfully, he did not receive any more invasive procedures because they just wanted to wait and see since PSA levels was already progressing downwards. When he came to my clinic, testing revealed he was affected by plastics which have endocrine disruptors (hormone messer-uppers). The prostate gland is highly susceptible to endocrine disruptors in our environment. Plastic being one of the many endocrine disruptors. Upon further questioning, the patient stated that he had been consuming his water through plastic bottles primarily. Testing also revealed excessive contamination with bacteria in his body. After some natural therapies & treatments his urination is less frequent and patient is waking up less at night. I am curious to see what his next PSA level will show.
