What Makes Estrogen Tick
“Estrogen receptors” are rarely talked about unless a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer (or a man with prostate cancer), but they are critical to how an estrogen behaves. For example, tamoxifen is a “known human carcinogen” due to its estrogenic effects, yet it is marketed as an “estrogen blocker” because of its estrogen-blocking effects. It has beneficial effects on bone, but negative effects on the circulatory system.1,2 It blocks estrogen-driven breast cancer growth temporarily, yet later becomes estrogenic in the same tissue, promoting new breast cancer. How can one “estrogen” do all these things?The answer is, partly, estrogen receptors, which are proteins in the body that react to estrogen. Estrogen is like fuel, and estrogen receptors are like machines. When fuel meets machine, things happen.
Unfortunately, what happens depends on which area of the body is in question. The receptors of different parts of the body are different. In other words, although all the machinery runs on some type of estrogen, not all the machinery does the same thing. Estrogen does different things in different parts of the body. It does one thing in the brain and another in the breast. It might surprise you to learn, for example, that the pituitary gland is second after the uterus as the most estrogen-responsive area of the body.3 So it is not accurate to think of estrogen as the thing that makes breast cancer cells grow.

I am not going to argue the merits or otherwise of what you have posted. It would take too long and bore a lot of people.
I have carefully read the article that you extensively quote. The up shot of that article is that if you take genistein then you will be well & will prevent breast cancer.
There is no evidence that HRT or any other form of oestrogen causes breast cancer in transgendered females.
When I searched the “Life Extension” web site I found 4 products that they are selling which contain genistein. Hence what they have to say about genistein has to be taken with a grain of salt as they have a financial interest in the product.
Plus in their disclaimer page I found this;

Finally, you extensively publicise the products of “life extension”, this raises an ethical question – do you have any financial arrangements with this company – yes, it is just another multipharma drug company trying to make a profit – that you have not shared with us?

I will disagree with a lot of coments that you have said. Lisa, but I only just have time for this response.
No one is perfect but I did notice that you questioned LEF.
LEF does also mention that any person taking products of any source need to see a professional or some one who knows what they are doing. Admittedly I, after a decade am still balancing things out
As published in weight loss, I stress that taking a supplement or drug [HRT} in a sick body ie from the foods that we eat and more in the inviroment can cause cancer and other illnesses. A drug or supplement can tip the balance. Even weight loss can release toxins stored in the fat of the body can cause serious illnesses and I have herd of a few people who caught cancer just by MASSIVE weight loss.
I look at the media and shake my head at the health crap they put on. Some is good but in gerneral is misleading.
LEF may have products that other sites say cause cancer. But always question everything which is what you are doing and that is great.
I dont have a lot of time to go indepth so unfortunitely I will have to brief.
Anyone can prove nearly everything Fox axample
Vitamin E is useless and will not help anything can be statedVitamin E Alpha ans Omega is very powerfull at 100mg doses
A drug company sees the benifits and issues a statement that with their studies that vitamin E does not work with their tests becacuse of threats to their product and so they do a study with, lets say 30mg and no co factorrs. The media grabs hold of this and exploits it .
Falsafying data even to the FDA is quite high as wellSo dont dismiss what LEF says. If in doubt question it, which is great.
If I did not question, I would not be alive today
As far as the Estrogen topic is concerned, yes it is involved and many would not bother to read it
The points I am trying to make is
Cellular receptors behave differently. We need to evaluate where phytoestrogens, estradiol (natural and synthetic) are attached.
Common receptors of the above or different receptors that will determine the effectiveness of HRT in a little more understanding of what is happening inside the body
GOTTA GO

Hi,
I forgotLisa Questions if I have financial involvement with LEF.
Finally, you extensively publicise the products of “life extension”, this raises an ethical question – do you have any financial arrangements with this company – yes, it is just another multipharma drug company trying to make a profit – that you have not shared with us?The question is very valid
The answer is NO NO NO
I also have a health web site
Do I get and finiancial benefits NO NO NO
The site comes out of my personal pocket. I can say NOT one cent has ever been made from that site or anything I said here
I have not made one cent or any benefits of any sort form any companyIn my business I visit many clients whose sickness can be prevented and or cured by just a healthy nutritious diet.
I have seen how my relatives have suffered and knowing what I know now could have prevented a lot of it, even as far back as 2001Admittedly I am a angry person who wants to make a difference in health for those who are blinded. The place a seed so that person can open their eyes and see the deception of this world in religion and health and then question and do something for themselves
I believe that 95% of sickness can be prevented
I was nealy a victim of this myself, going against the very thing I believe bacause of my business
Long hours of Work + bad food = blood infection
Infection causes vegetation in mitrial valve and open heart surgeryI think you know where I come from
I am trying to spread awareness
Thanyou for clearing this part up
