The Truth Behind 8 Babies-Part II

My last writing about the 8 baby news item was about a reason men have become less fertile. Now why women have become less fertile.

The fact that an unmarried woman can become artificially impregnated raises ethical and moral issues indicating  flawed regulatory oversight and personal judgment.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common cause of infertility in women today. An imbalance in the hormones that control release of the egg from the ovary results in an incomplete release  of the egg and the formation of cysts.

Several physicians have written that a major cause of the hormone dysfunction that leads to this condition is affected by a chronic elevation of serum insulin. Insulin is the hormone necessary to control the levels of sugar in the blood. Excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates can cause a chronic elevation in serum insulin.

In our diets of highly processed foods this is a major problem. Various forms of sugar give us the major source of our calories in the United States. Overweight adults make up nearly 70% of the population with nearly 35% being obese. This is just a sign of our poor food selections and excess consumption.

Elevated serum insulin cause excess estrogen in men and excess testosterone in women. When this continues, masculine traits can develop. The testosterone excess interferes with estrogen/progesterone balance and FSH and LH as well. The resulting improper release of the egg contributes to the polycystic ovary syndrome.

It is very likely that a woman’s toxic burden  also contributes to the infertility problems. I have seen dramatic improvement in blood sugar levels when we reduce the toxic burden. This would indicate that the toxins may impair normal receptors on the cell for insulin. Many studies have observed toxic involvement in DNA function. In the last article I discussed the effect of a man’s toxic burden on reduced sperm count.

It is imperative that we reduce our toxic burden. See the link on the right to” Remove what we must not keep…..”

Do those activities and make the food choices that we know are best for our health and well-being.
