The body's calcium content is regulated by the parathyroid glands, known as the epithelial bodies. These are four hormone glands the size of lentils which are attached to the thyroid gland. These four parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone, which regulates calcium levels. A good acid-base balance in the body is also important. This tissue hyperacidity undermines bone calcium.
Sweets also have an unfavorable effect on the body's mineral content.
Before routinely prescribing estrogens for women, the responsible therapist should instead take care of the patients' mineral and vitamin balance first. Why Copper and Vitamins Are So Important Copper and vitamin C are important in enabling the body to produce hormones at all. Copper is a component of the respiratory enzymes, and the body needs 2 milligrams daily. If high doses of artificial estrogens are administered, they will use up the copper reserves, thus depriving those women of an important trace element. If there are also deficiencies of vitamins C, E or magnesium, then the vitamin D deficiency symptoms can be magnified considerably.
