HOW CAN MEN LOWER THEIR ESTRADIOL LEVEL?
Now comes the question: How can the aging (and perhaps overweight male lower his blood level of E2? Dr Jon Michnovicz (whom we have previously mentioned), has reported in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, that the deactivation rate of 17 beta estradiol was nearly doubled in healthy male volunteers who took 500mg per day of I-3-C for just 7 days. (Michnovicz and Bradlow 1990). We learned previously that injestion of I-3-C, especially with ascorbigen, will greatly increase MFO activity. Combining all of this information, the best way to deal with many potential problems associated with the prostate gland would be to injest both I-3-C and ascorbigen (as separate chemical compounds even though ascorbigen contains its own I-3-C, but bound to ascorbic acid). This can be done either by including adequate amounts Brassica vegetables or as a dietary supplement, reducing saturated fat intake, and avoiding being overweight.
This should reduce the rate of cell division by steroid-sensitive cells in the prostate gland, and by so doing, also reduce the liklihood of a DNA copying error that could result in that first cancer cell. If science is both rational and empirical, why not extropolate what is so well known about steroid-sensitive reproductive tissue cells in women to the less-studied male system? Doesn't the statistical picture of the incidence of prostate cancer in different countries of the world suggest that aging men could be far better off if they avoided the negative effects of DHT and E3 by taking appropriate action now, rather than waiting until the evidence to support such action becomes as strong as it presently is for cancer risk reduction in women?
