Congratulations! I know from my clinical experience how wonderful it is to feel better. I still have to stick to my opinion, though, that a complete hormone profile is the way to go prior to starting any hormone altering regimen. 7 Keto definitely increases the metabolism in much the same way androgens increase metabolism. For you that worked very well. It is not necessarily wonderful for everyone! I am very happy that you are doing so well with 7 keto. Congratulations!

If you have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) you are potentially already too high in androgenic hormones (hormones which increase masculine body traits) . Also, if you are hypothyroid, you need to successfully balance your thyroid. These two conditions, PCOS and Hypothyroidism, are significant health challenges and need to be successfully handled to help you return to better health. If you are hypothyroid and it has not been corrected, that alone could cause you to gain weight. You are a candidate for a comprehensive hormone assessment and one should be ordered by your physician. Unless you are perimenopausal it is not normal to have your menses stop. If your physician will not do the blood work up but believes you to have PCOS and Hypothyroidism then you need to get a new doctor! Good luck to you!

You ask important questions. What ultimately happens to radioactive isotopes is not my area of expertise but my thoughts are the following: Obviously, I would avoid any produce and sea vegetables from Japan or any source that is within a 200 mile radius of a previous incident. Radioactive Iodine has a much shorter half life than other isotopes so it because a non issue after a certain amount of time. But other isotopes, such as Plutonium and Cesium, unfortunately, have a very long half life so they are a significant problem. Wind currents and possibly ocean currents, can transport these isotopes around the world. Dust storms from one area can mobilize soil into the wind currents and it is difficult to say where isotopes may ultimately come to rest. This fact makes it difficult to say where the highest levels of soil isotopes may be found. Staying healthy is an important goal. Along with radioactive isotopes we are also affected by approximately 85,000 different chemicals in our environment on a daily basis. We can either feel overwhelmed and paranoid about this or we can, simply, do our very best to stay as healthy as we can. Eating as locally as we can (unless we live in Japan or close to another former incident such as Chernobyl) and knowing our farmers and distributors makes a big difference. As you already know, eating organic is very important. it is also important, since we are being exposed to many chemicals in our air and environment, to detoxify on a somewhat regular basis. Radioactive isotopes seem to have a negative effect on our lymphatic system along with other organs. Cleansing, using lymphatic drainage massage, Raindrop therapy, keeping higher antioxidant levels in the body, using therapeutic grade essential oils internally and topically (I use Young Living - you can sign up on our website if you do not know anyone locally) can also be helpful. Using mindful visualization of your body being very healthy is important as well. We help our patients stay healthier by running various laboratory tests to monitor their over all health. By monitoring their health status, other than solely relying on how they feel, our patients can avoid rising levels of toxicity in their systems. You may want to consider including such evaluations in your own plan to keep healthy. We do know through research about longevity that keeping a positive, loving, proactive state of mind and having a positive mission in life are two of the most important factors in staying healthy even if we are exposed to toxins. So keep that foremost in your mind and do your very best to drop any "worry or anxiety" about toxins. Take the action steps you need to take and then enjoy your life!

We often run these panels at the clinic. Some times our thyroid can be low, sometimes progesterone levels are way out of balance with estrogen levels and sometimes our Cortisol levels are so out of balance that they are disrupting the conversion of thyroid T4 to T3. These are just a few examples of possibilities. So there is a lot that can cause metabolic disruption. The key is finding out your personal metabolic "story." Once you know that you can then very specifically utilize products that are the best for you. Sometimes 7 keto DHEA could be the best product if your hormone profile fits that need. But I would never place a woman on 7 keto DHEA if she already was high in Testosterone or other androgenic (masculine) hormones. I feel that would be risky. Some people feel it is too expensive to have blood levels of hormones tested. But our health is so important and the most expensive product is one that is not good for YOU! Dr. Pat Hi Valerie,

I notice that the last comment made on here was nearly a year ago and I was just wondering what your thoughts are now on food supply from around the globe? With the continued radiation, is there any countries in the world that you would not eat food sourced from there? Also are certain types of food more suseptible to contamination than others? I understand about the accumilation in milk etc, but I am a vegan so am thinking more about seeds, nuts, grains and fresh produce...as well as oils and dried goods etc. Thanks again...I look forward to your reply. :-) Hi, great article thank you!
