i've not heard of flax lignans, but i put milled flax seed in my food. same thing???   Yep, same thing. Flax seeds naturally contain lignans.  

I think this is pretty much the reason for most of my problems.   I developed hirsutism a year or two ago, and I never knew this before but apparently estrogen dominance/ progesterone deficiency ...

Many patients are taking diindolylmethane (DIM) or indole 3 carbinol (I3C) for "safe" estrogen metabolism. These substances improve the "2/16" ratio, which is known to decrease the risk of breast canc...

Some people who have seen results on their acne with DIM have indicated better quality of sleep (deep restful sleep). Perhaps one's sleep or lack thereof using DIM is a good marker of whether DIM is ...

I'm also finding that DIM inactivates NF kappa-B which is involved in acne lesions. Also, DIM downregulates androgen receptors!! Hmmm, wouldnt that mean that the receptors would rev back up later ...

How does one know if they have an adrenal problem? That list could cover any ailment. I don't know many people that can't answer yes to a lot of those ailments. Is there a certain test one can take?

Cool, thanks.

Thanks jodiat!   "The Mood Cure" is a great book regarding this. I believe it saved me alot of "feeling around in the dark" for an answers to some of my problems. The protocols are easy to fol...

The hardest part for me will be getting to sleep early. I have pretty bad insomnia (ironically that is a symptom of adrenal fatigue). So, how to break the cycle???   But one thing I know helps m...

Licorice, huh? Thanks, I didn't know about that.

OK, forgive me if something similar has been posted here lately... I've read so many things, I don't remember. I'm sure this has been mentioned among all the DIM threads...   ANYWAY, I didn't rea...

This is confusing now, I never knew Estrogen was what it is.   So Basically im seeing this as we have Testosterone and Estrogen. Estrogen balances with Progesterone. Estrogen dominance is where...

I don't understand why you say idiopathic hirsutism is a cause of hyperandrogenism. Idiopathic hirsutism is hirsutism with no identifiable cause. Someone with idiopathic hirsutism does not have hypera...

I'm just starting to think that eggs are a problem for me too. I was mostly clear for a long time just from avoiding grains, sugar, and lactose... but my skin was still very oily... and recently I sta...

I got something like that a few months ago.... After awhile I finally figured out it was my foundation. I just randomly developed an allergy to something in it. It wasn't because the makeup was old (I...

The only thing i can think of is he phytic acid in lentils. I have the no added salt canned lentils. So i'd say they have been soaked for a long while being on the shelves. I do get a sore stomach af...

Do you soak them overnight in water before cooking them?

This is such a brilliant idea. I don't know if it has helped my skin really, but I just like that I'm getting green veggies regularly now, whereas I almost never ate them before. Plus... I don't know ...

So I'm wondering if you or anyone else has any experience cooking with it (Denise2?)? It seems to have a subtle but deep taste that would work well in dinner entrees, possibly with potatoes, or in a s...

It tastes nice, kind of like gravy, but everytime i eat it, it makes me sick to my stomach. B vitamins do that when you take them on an empty stomach.

No more info anyone? I just want to know if eating like this all (or most of the time) is appropriate, and adequate enough for good health and well-being. No, you can't live on just fruits and veg...
