Estrogens in Food
Now, here is the Website showing the foods
high in estrogens and those that block estrogen. These should be considered in formulating the ultimate diet for the
epileptic, I would think, as we know that estrogens are inflammatory and sensitize neurons to the action of glutamate (e'g
catamenial seizures, PMS).
Here's the site:

Estrogen Inhibiting Foods
If you are suffering from breast cancer, PMS,
fibroids, ovarian cysts, and other situations that estrogen might exacerbate, the following estrogen inhibiting foods might
be of interest to you.
Berries
Broccoli
Buckwheat
Cabbage
Citrus Foods
Corn
Figs
Fruits
(except apples, cherries, dates, pomegranates)
Grapes
Green beans
Melons
Millet
Onions
Pears
Pineapples
Squashes
Tapioca
White rice
White flour Now, this is really cool! Why would wheat
be on the list of estrogen-rich foods while white flour is on the list of estrogen-blocking foods?
Doesn't make sense right? Actually, it DOES and illustrates a VERY important point. What do you get when you add water to
white flour? Glue/ paste, right? What have I been saying about gluten again...it is "glue" and it does coat and stick to the
villi of the duodenum. In this case, it coats the villi and blocks the absorption of the ESTROGENS in the food. Now, how cool
is that?
When I saw this site a couple of years ago, I had another "revelation". Even the bad things have a
purpose. In this case, the "glues" in the bad foods (gluten grains, dairy, and soy) don't just block the absorption of essential
nutrients (and drugs). They also help block the bad things in these trouble foods, like the estrogens and goitrogens....antinutrients,
like those found in soy. (Errrrrh.)
Whodathunkit? Yin and yang even applies to food. 
Again, I hope this helps,

my goal to help all of mankind navigate through the jungle of medical information now available on the Internet and find the

We do have our health's destiny in our own hands more than we've ever

Great News!
DogtorJ.com will
be getting a major facelift in the very near future. Yes, the time has finally come for this homemade Website
to be taken over by someone who actually knows what they are doing. I know that you all join me in looking forward to having
the site better organized and more accessible. It'll be prettier, too!
This is taking place for a number of reasons, the most of important
of which will be revealed in the upcoming months. Yes, the book is finally in the works but there will be a
major awareness project to go along with it.
So, please stay tuned. Anyone who would like to get on my mailing list can do so by simply using the visitor's comment area (like the one above)
found at the bottom of each page.
Onward and upward!
