    PARADOX: Cortisol promotes inflammation, drives Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

    It looks like serotonin (5-HT), commonly known as the "happy hormone" has a serious competitor for the title of the most grossly mischaracterized substance in medicine. That serious competitor is cortisol, in both its synthetic and bioidentical forms, commonly known as the "master of...

    Most cancers overproduce cortisol, and it accelerates their growth

    This post is right on the heels of the one I just did on cortisol stimulating its own production and driving cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, etc. The study below demonstrates that most tumor types known to medicine overexpress the rate-limiting enzyme for cortisol synthesis known as...

    Cortisol stimulates its own synthesis (peripherally), drives obesity/diabetes/CVD

    Synthetic/bioidentical glucocorticoids (GC) are perhaps the most widely used steroids clinically. In addition, the HPA axis, culminating in cortisol production, is one of the most widely studied mechanisms in regards to many chronic diseases including obesity, diabetes, CVD, mental conditions...

    Severely dry skin from Vitex/Calcium D glucarate

    Ok in a desperate attempt to lower my prolactin and estrogen, I ended up with dry skin and hair. I notice with Vitex it caused either dopamine or adrenaline surges at high dose. Along with the Calcium D glucarate I noticed my hair was starting to sound like straw when I tried to tie it up. My...

    Another "paradox" - elevated cortisol, from high-fat diet, increases inflammation

    Over the last year or so I posted about several studies demonstrating that even short-term usage of glucocorticoids may be a double-edged sword. Namely, while it is beyond doubt that, acutely, glucocorticoids suppress inflammation, those studies demonstrated that the glucocorticoids upregulated...

    Androgens, glucocorticoids are antagonistic - former inhibit, latter promote fat gain

    As most of my readers know, androgenic steroids are considered extremely dangerous by medicine and are in fact outlawed in most "developed" countries. Aside from the (in)famous "roid rage", medicine claims that a large number of chronic conditions (spanning the spectrum from cosmetic to...

    DHEA levels in young children? And how to prevent it's conversion?

    There are papers talking about DHEA decline and supplementation could resolve a lot of problems related to aging. I see some sources say DHEA levels are low or significantly lower in childhood than in teens or young adults. Is this really the hormone of such importance if this is true? When I...

    Hormonal birth control puts women in chronic stress, by blocking progesterone synthesis

    A truly remarkable study as it exposes so many lies that Big Pharma and its medical accomplices would rather not become public knowledge. Since most hormonal birth control (pills, patches, IUD, injections, etc) contain a combination of an estrogen and a synthetic progestin, it implicates both...
