so. But we all have the same—we all produce the same, exact
molecules as for as estrogens and testosterone and DHEA and
progesterone and these other hormones. it’s important that we
understand for these estrogens, the human ones anyway, that again
the—one of the pharmacologic characteristics of estrogen is that they
make cells multiply, right. And this is very important in pregnancy, right,
because that fetus has to grow so much. And so during pregnancy
estrogen levels go way up and we get, again, we get exponential growth
of a fetus, right.
Other cells, if they get exposed to higher levels of estrogen, right, then
they can grow faster also. So in breast cancer, in prostate cancer, and
in other cancers if estrogen levels are elevated, right, or if we’re
exposed to a more potent estrogen, right, and this is where we’re getting
into environmental estrogens then that cancer can grow faster, right.
And it’s not necessarily that indigenous estrogens cause cancer, right,
but they can certainly like insulin, right That’s the other cancer
promoting hormone. They can make the fire burn hotter.
Ty: Okay, great analogy. So it’s like more gasoline on the fire
when you have a higher level of estrogen than you should have
Dr. Roby Mitchell: Correct!
Ty: which lots of articles today that we’re reading about the effect
of what they call xenoestrogens, which are fake estrogens in the
environment.
Dr. Roby Mitchell: Right, right.
Ty: So can you talk about that a little big in relationship to cancer
Dr. Roby Mitchell: Right and then so that’s one of the reasons why we
see such a proliferation of cancer in the west, right, and haven’t seen in
this west. We’re seeing it more in third world countries now. But
because of our exposure to environmental and pharmaceutical
estrogens, right, that has the effect of throwing more gasoline on the
fire. So some of the insecticides, pesticides, fungicides that we use they
have an estrogen effect, right. These are what we call xenoestrogens,
xeno meaning foreign. So those, again, long term exposures so we
have to think about estrogen exposure and lifetime exposure as we do
like with radiation exposure.
So if you’re a radiation technologist, right, you where a little badge on
you that gives us a Geiger counter amount of radiation that you are
getting exposed to over a lifetime and you get to here, in other words, to
