Aging and high levels of physical, chemical, and emotional stress are associated with the loss of progesterone in women and testosterone in men. When these key hormones are depleted, it causes a state of estrogen dominance. This state of estrogen dominance is one of the major factors associated with degenerative disease processes.
“As a species, we`re on a fast track to extinction,” says Ori Hofmekler, author of The Anti-Estrogenic Diet. “In the past few decades, men have lost 50% of their sperm count and within only one generation, the average man’s sperm count and testosterone have dropped by 20%. Women are no better. Staggering figures show that most women today are suffering from female disorders and three out of ten women between the ages of 35 to 60 will develop breast cancer.”
