The excess oestrogen caused by diets, makes your body think it s preparing to implant an egg 28 days a month. The link between dairy products being high in synthetic oestrogen and abnormal behaviour in women s bodies is well documented. Cows are often given synthetic hormones to increase milk production and to make them grow fatter, for the market. These synthetic hormones are then stored in the muscles of the animals and are later consumed by humans. As a result when food laden with synthetic oestrogen is eaten by women who already suffer from high oestrogen, it aggravates the problem.
Research shows that milk has a high level of synthetic hormones.
Fibroid sufferers who experience heavy periods would do well to omit meat and dairy products from their diets for at least two weeks leading up to their period as this would help to reduce heavy bleeding and pain. Occasional use of Yellow dock is also good for the womb and has been known to help increase iron levels in the body, help ease constipation and is a powerful blood cleanser. The female hormone Oestrogen stimulates cell growth and therefore where there is an excess, then the oestrogen receptors i.e. breast cells and womb cells tend to become over stimulated. The main purpose of oestrogen in a woman s body is to prepare the womb for the implantation of an egg. Oestrogen sends a chemical message to the smooth muscle cell lining of the uterus to reproduce in order to build a thicker muscular lining ready for the egg to attach.
