Besides providing new insights into biological energy and aging, the recognition that estrogen activates the stress hormone system-the pituitary-adrenal system- also provides clear insight into other problems, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, hirsutism, adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing's disease, etc.
Thanks Blossom, this is helpful! I appreciate you searching for it.
I don't know why I'm so hung up on this. I can't figure out why some PCOS symptoms go along with high testosterone in some, but not in others. And what is exactly causing the formation of excess body hair when high testosterone isn't present. I guess Peat is giving the bigger picture... I'm curious about the exact pathway of what causes what causes what to lead to the hair growth, etc. Or maybe it's in the articles and I'm just not well-read enough yet to see it.
High DHEA will cause hair...speaking from my own experience.
