    Extractions: @import url( http://www.romow.com/health-blog/wp-content/themes/Green/style.css ); A recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) reported three cases in which young boys aged 4-7 began to grow breasts after using skin care products containing lavender oil and tea tree oil. The doctor in the case contacted a governing agency which tested the oils on in vitro cells and found that they acted as estrogen. The oils appear to be endocrine disruptors. During recent decades, millions of tons of man-made chemicals have been produced and released into the environment. Many of these chemicals can be found in personal care products such as soaps, lotions, cosmetics, and perfumes. The danger is that many of these chemicals act as synthetic hormones and disrupt normal endocrine function—hence the name endocrine disruptor. The danger is two fold. Scientists do not know what long-term effect these chemicals will have on the environment because testing was sketchy at best prior to approving their use. Secondly, testing that has been done after the fact has shown that these endocrine disruptors wreak havoc on human beings and animals. They are responsible for such things as a fish having male and female sex organs, little girls going through puberty at age six, declining sperm counts, infertility , and little boys growing breasts.

Disruptions in the endocrine system and hormone levels it produces can lead to cancers and irregularities in the reproductive system. Some scientists propose that hormones can induce cancers by directly altering genetic material (DNA) or can induce cancers indirectly through cellular activities. Many researchers think that hormone imbalance can lead to increased rates of cancers and reduced fertility. Scientists are also developing genetic biomarkers for early detection of cancers, as well as new therapies and prevention In recent years, some scientists have proposed that chemicals might be disrupting the endocrine system (glands and hormones) of humans and wildlife. The endocrine system also referred to as the hormone system is made up of glands located throughout the body, hormones which are synthesized and secreted by the glands into the bloodstream, and receptors in the various target organs and tissues which recognize and respond to the hormones. The function of the system is to regulate a wide range of biological processes, including control of blood sugar, growth and function of reproductive systems, regulation of metabolism, brain and nervous system development, and development of an organism from conception through adulthood and old age.

The Way To Peace ENDOCRINE-IMMUNE DISRUPTION SYNDROME by Michael W. Fox, B. Vet. Med., Ph.D., D.Sc., M.R.C.V.S. Chemical compounds called endocrine disruptors may play a significant role in various chronic diseases in both companion and other animals and also humans. These diseases include allergies, chronic skin diseases, recurrent ear, urinary tract, and other infections, digestive system disorders such as chronic colitis, diarrhea, and inflammatory bowel disease frequently associated with immune system impairment, and metabolic and hormonal disturbances expressed in a variety of symptoms from obesity to thyroid and other endocrine disorders especially of the pancreas and adrenal glands. Adverse reactions to vaccinations, anti-flea and tick medications and other veterinary drugs, and hypersensitivity to various foods and dietary additives, may be consequential and contributory elements in what I interpret as a widespread and not yet well recognized Endocrine-Immune Disruption Syndrome. I receive many letters from readers of my syndicated newspaper column Animal Doctor

    Extractions: UPDATE INTRODUCTION The mechanisms through which endocrine disruptors interfere with the hormonal system are complex and not yet well understood. Researchers do know, however, that a wide range of substances affect health, precisely because of the complexity of the hormonal system, and that very low concentrations are sufficient to affect the physiological processes of several animal species. THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM AND ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS: BASIC CONCEPTS A. How the Endocrine System Works The endocrine hormone system plays a key role in growth and sexual development. It consists of the endocrine glands, including the testicles, the ovaries, the thyroid, the pancreatic and adrenal glands, the parathyroids and the pituitary gland (which controls the other endocrine glands). These glands secrete substances known as hormones, which are chemical messengers released directly into the bloodstream, where they travel to and stimulate other organs (or receptors). The pancreas, the thyroid, the parathyroids and the pituitary secrete protein hormones; the adrenal glands and the gonads

58. UTMB Magazine | Features | Invasion Of The Endocrine Disruptors
    The first time UTMB professor Cheryl Watson heard of the endocrine disruptor hypothesis, she says, “I thought, now there’s a scary idea.

    Extractions: UTMB Magazine UTMB Home UTMB Newsroom UTMB Impact ... Archive By Jim Kelly T A small but growing group of wildlife biologists, environmental toxicologists, cancer researchers, and specialists in developmental disorders suggested such interference could be causing a host of problems that recently seemed to have emerged in both animals and humans. Endocrine disruption caused by pollution, they said, was the best explanation for why certain populations of birds near the Great Lakes had mysteriously become unable to produce viable eggs, or in some cases had become completely uninterested in courtship and mating. It might also explain the sudden appearance in England of fish possessing both male and female sex characteristics, and male alligators in a Florida lake with sex organs one-third to one-half normal size. In humans, some asserted, exposure to endocrine disruptors before or just after birth could account for an apparent decline in the average quantity and quality of sperm, as well as an increase in the rates of breast, prostate, and testicular cancer. Environmental Health Perspectives Immediately, Watson began thinking about how she might do antibody experiments to look for estrogen receptors on the cell membrane. Estrogen signaling was known to play a critical part in the genesis of breast cancer, and estrogen receptors on the cell membrane might act differently from those inside the cell, activating previously unsuspected biochemical circuits. If they could be found, membrane estrogen receptors could help supply a major piece of the breast-cancer puzzle.

    Extractions: About NRP50 Chemicals with endocrine activity, also termed “endocrine disruptors”, can exert a variety of detrimental effects on humans, animals or entire ecosystems. In humans, disturbances of foetal development, a decrease in fertility and the increased incidence of breast, testicular and prostate cancer have been reported. In animals, numerous studies attest to reproductive disturbances across a broad species spectrum ranging from fishes to marine and terrestrial mammals. The extinction of otters in Switzerland is attributed to these deficiencies: polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which used to be a component of lubricants, impregnating agents as well as adhesives, accumulated in the food chain and caused a decrease in fertility of female otters. At the level of ecosystems, a major concern is that endocrine disruptors could be a factor in reducing biodiversity in animals. Various solvents, insecticides, pesticides, combustion products, certain drugs, cosmetics and even plant products are suspected to be endocrine active. All these chemicals have in common that they are are suspected of interfering with the endocrine system of humans and animals.
