Testosterone destroying chemicals and their effects

[nullorchis (imported)]

ETHANE DIMETHANE SULPHONATE

(Suspected that this destroys the body's endoctrine glands or their hormones, such as pituitary, hypothalamus, testes, ovaries, etc.)

Medical studies have determined that when this chemical is injected into testes of rats the LEYDIG cells in the testes die. The LEYDIG cells produce testosterone. No Leydig cells, no testosterone. No known tests on how this chemical (and hundreds like it) an infiltrate our bodies via food, water, air, and skin and kill OUR leydig cells.

Because other processes convert testosterone into DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the loss of testosterone in the body means there is then also no or low DHT in the body.

DHT is produced males in vivo and is responsible for the formation of male sex-specific characteristics. DHT is an important contributor to other characteristics generally attributed to males, including facial and body hair growth, and deepening of the voice. DHT may also play a crucial role in both sex drive and the growth of muscle tissue. While DHT is best known for its roles in causing male pattern hair loss and prostate problems, it is also crucial to virilization and is necessary to mitigate estrogen's effects in men. ("Fringe benefit": low DHT can help minimize naturally occuring prostate cancer risk).

With no DHT to control estrogen High levels of estrogen in men can destroy any new or remaining testosterone that is produced or introduced into the body. Fatigue, loss of muscle tone, increased body fat, loss of libido and sexual function and an enlarged prostate can result.

(estrogen is not a guy thing so your genitals shut down and atrophy).

Excess estrogen can also:

1) Excess estrogen (with or without loss of testosterone in the body) can saturate testosterone receptors in the hypothalamus in the brain therefore reducing the signal sent to the pituitary gland. This in turn reduces the secretion of luteinizing hormone, which is necessary for the gonads to produce testosterone.

(so you get into this endless loop where the loss of testosterone increases estrogen which destroys any remaining or new testosterone that may be present).

(2) Excess estrogen can Increase the body's production of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). SHBG binds testosterone therefore reducing the amount of the clinical important free testosterone in the blood available to cell receptor sites.

(3) Excess estrogen reduces the effectiveness of the testosterone replacement therapy due to excess aromatization of testosterone medications to estrogen. (which is why lab tests for estrogen should also be done when testing testosterone levels; you may have adequate testosterone in your system, but it may not be doing it's job if there is too much estrogen in your system).

NOW, WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? While you hopefully won't be injecting ethane dimethane sulphonate into your testes (danger, danger, no, no ), when this chemical was injected into the testes of rats, their leydig cells died. Humans aren't rats, but testes are testes.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE, this chemical is but ONE of HUNDREDS of known chemicals in our environment that damage or destroy the endoctrine organs and/or hormones.

See: http://www.scorecard.org/health-effects ... do&all_p=t

FROM THE STUDIES done on rat testes using this chemical we get a good idea of the chain of events that goes on when there is no testosterone in the body.

When you eliminate testosterone from the body, there is an imbalance, a cause and effect, other things start to happen.

looked up ETHANE DIMETHANE SULPHONATE it is a commonly used pestacide

IMHO, watch out for info on estrogen effects on males from a source that quotes "From International Antiaging Systems:" everything I have read from them is very anti-E and pro T.

Warning noted and will do further research.

Yes, the chemical they injected into the rats nuts was a pesticide, not vodka, not saline solution. (Sure hope reincarnation isn't true or in our next life it might be my nuts they are injecting).

Yes, the chemical is like the stuff they spray on our food, that we eat, which goes into OUR bodies, and may eventually wind up in our nuts, or pituitary, or somewhere else.

And it is only one of hundreds of chemicals that can have an adverse effect on our hormones. So many chemicals and such a small planet.

I feel sorry for future generations of all life forms. It's not looking good.
