--Monday, 19 January 2009--Steve Jobs’ has just been diagnosed
with a “Hormone Imbalance”. Could this be you? Researchers in
Texas, Boston, Brazil and India are exploring the diagnosis and
treatment of hormone imbalance. Hormone imbalance may cause a
wide variety of symptoms including weight disorders, fatigue,
pain, chest tightness, anxiety and loss of short term memory.
Austin, TX, January 08, 2009 -- Hormone imbalance may affect
millions of people. Over half of all adults have symptoms that
cannot be explained by doctors. Key symptoms include weight
problems, fatigue, pain (joint pain and muscle pain), anxiety
and panic attacks and loss of short term memory. Researchers at
the Roby Institute have identified hormone imbalance as a cause
of numerous undiagnosed disorders. Hormone imbalance occurs
when one or more of our reproductive hormones isn’t functioning
properly. The imbalance results in symptoms, sometimes severe,
of fatigue, weight gain or loss, painful joints or muscles and
anxiety. The imbalance causes the body to operate with the
emergency hormone adrenalin. The chronic use of this major
stress hormone leads to fatigue and all manner of
stress-related disorders. These are disorders little understood
by medicine. They include chronic fatigue syndrome, weight
disorders, fibromyalgia, arthritis, shortness of breath and
anxiety. The patients are easily identified…they feel serious
symptoms…and their doctor insists there is nothing wrong with
them. A readily available blood test for hormones could measure
for such an imbalance. Hormones tested include estradiol,
testosterone, thyroid, cortisol and DHEA. An imbalance could be
treated by hormone replacement thereapy (HRT) or supplements.
Lifestyle changes are often prescribed (“long, slow, distance”
as in walking) since stress is a common factor. The patients
are usually intense individuals with increasing stress in their
lives. Researchers point out that this is so common that it
might affect half of all patients seeking medical attention.
The diagnostic blood tests are inexpensive (under $300.00) and
are covered by most health insurance. The treatment is safe,
effective and inexpensive (under $100.00 for HRT and
supplements). The disorder is rarely diagnosed because doctors
are not trained to look for it. In 2006, Texas researchers at
the Roby Institute and the University of Texas, Austin,
published the first paper describing hormone imbalance (Hormone
Allergy, AJRI). In 2008, Dr. Roby of the Roby Institute
published the book, “Maybe It IS All in Your Head…and You Are
NOT Crazy!” (Amazon.com and Amazon Kindle). Centers for the
diagnosis and treatment of the disorder have been established
in Texas, Brazil and India. The symptoms include all the
“syndromes” for which medicine can find no cause or solution.
The problem is rarely addressed by medicine since the hormone
levels, while out of balance, are often “within normal limits”.
Physicians are not trained to look for imbalances and therefore
do not order hormone levels that might give the diagnosis.
Hormone imbalance has been described in traditional medical
literature for the last sixty years or more. Some of the well
known examples include multiple sclerosis, premenstrual asthma
and premenstrual migraine. Only recently has hormone imbalance
begun to be seen as a probably cause for all manner of
“syndromes” not associated with known diseases. Summary: Steve
Jobs’ has just been diagnosed with a “Hormone Imbalance”. Could
this be you? Researchers in Texas, Boston, Brazil and India are
exploring the diagnosis and treatment of hormone imbalance.
Hormone imbalance may cause a wide variety of symptoms
including weight disorders, fatigue, pain, chest tightness,
anxiety and loss of short term memory. This common disorder may
affect half of all patients seeking medical attention. The
blood tests for hormone imbalance are readily available at all
clinical labs. The treatment is safe, effective and
inexpensive. |
