The Wiley Protocol

It is the carbohydrate content of food that drives the chemical reactions that turn the proteins and fats you eat into steroid (sex) hormones, muscle tissue, cytokines in your immune system, and neutrotransmitters in your brain and body. Fats called triglycerides can fuel all of the same chemical reactions that carbohydrates do. Remember that even your heart as a summer and a winter metabolism - in the summer your heart uses glucose and in the winter it's meant to run on free fatty acids. In other words, you are designed to live on both carbohydrates and fats, depending on the landscape and season.

There is no scientific evidence that you were ever meant to live solely on carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are converted and storedto see you through lean times. Protein and fat in the form of other living things would be available wherever you were living, no matter what the season --unlike carbohydrates, which would grow and be available only during the warm-weather growing season. So summer eating -- carbohydrate consumption driven by the number of hours of light -- is a physical imperative to secure to secure sugar storage for famine, and it's driven by the timing of the light.

According to the Women's Haert Foundation, 1.5 million heart attacks occur in the United States each year with 500,000 deaths. More than 233,000 women die annually from cardiovascular disease. A heart attack happens about every 20 seconds with a death about every minute caused by a heart attack. Sudden death is more common among women with heart attack.

Premenopausal women have sudden vasospasm in the absence of progesterone's dampening effect on twichy estrogen receptors. A younger woman's heart attack, sudden vasospasm, damages the heart because the clamping down of the heart's arteries and veins, constricting and shutting off blood flow, creating the white knuckle effect you see in your hand when you make a really tight fist. When the heart muscle is deprived of blood and the oxygen it carries, it dies. Men's heart attacks cause oxygen deprivation to the muscle, too.

In men, because they've eaten too much of the planet, a heart attack is "environmental." On their way to a heart attack, first their kidneys are affected by the constant water retention of a high-carbohydrate diet. You need a lot of water to hibernate, so the more sugar you eat, the more water you retain (that's why on a high-protein, no-carbohydrate diet, the first ten to fifteen pounds of weight loss is actually stored water.)

High insulin from long light and too many carbohydrates also mean high seratonin. Seratonin is a vasoconstrictor and controls blood clotting. During the mating season, when fighting among men would be more likely, seratonin is always high perhaps to keep men from bleeding to death. Water retention, together with elevated seratonin narrowing arteries and veins, creates a disease state known as hypertension.

The hormones from the kidney, angiotensin I and II, that report to the heart how hard and fast to pump the blood must alter this feedback loop when chroinic subclinical hypertension damages the heart. That heppens when your blood pressure doesn't fluxtuate normally but instead stays high, never giving the heart a break. This heavy workload causes the left side of the heart muscle to "overdevelop" to compensate. When this happens, hypertension has led to left ventricular hypertrophy. The damage is irreversible and makes the heart work even harder because its symmetry is altered.

On Sept. 20, 2009 this Los Angeles Times newspaper article by Thomas H. Maugh II prompted women to write regarding their Wiley Protocol bioidentical hormones, which are biomimetically dosed.

"This LA Times article and other media continue to report on the negative outcomes of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) that validates the elimination the drugs with hormone-like effects," said Dr. Taguchi, an oncologist at Santa Barbara's Sansom Clinic. It was Taguchi who worked with T.S. Wiley on her book Sex, Lies and Menopause, The Shocking Truth About Hormone Replacement Therapy.

She continued, "The WHI study used Premarin and daily PREMPRO (Premarin and the progeSTIN Provera) and not bio-identical estradiol or the real hormone, progeSTERONE. Physicians will continue to lump progesterone together with progeSTINS when discussing "Hormone Replacement Thereapy" until there is definitive research on progesterone. I have been following patients on BHRT in my oncology practice for seven years and not one has developed lung cancer."

The initial Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) ten years ago was a study of more than 161,000 women which was designed to identify the benefits and risks of using hormone restoration therapy to prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, breast cancer and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Many people, including doctors, still do not realize that the results of WHI Study dealt with only women over 65 who were taking only synthetic hormone replacement therapy which consisted of the drugs PremPro and Premarin only. The study was ended mid-stream in 2002 when WHI investigators found that the risks of this approach using synthetic therapy exceeded the safety limits established at the beginning of the study. They never looked at compounded bio-identical hormones in static doses because they are prescribed and dosed too many different ways. This is yet another reason why T.S. Wiley has standardized the Wiley Protocol.

To read about the different types of hormones, please refer to this section of the Wiley Prototol website referring to bioidentical hormones.

Additionally, here's a video interviewing T.S. Wiley about why hormones are dose dependant.

The Austin-American Statesman reported a story about a man who had a condition that ended up being very serious, but began with a relatively common hormonal imbalance. He had suffered from chronic neck pain since he was 15. As an adult, they discovered that he was suffering from hypogonadism, a fairly common hormonal imbalance. This led to osteoporosis.

"He was like a 40-year-old man with the spine of a 95-year-old woman. He developed a 90-degree kink in his neck where the bones just sort of folded over like a book," said Mark Burnett, an executive medical director of NeuroTexas Institute where the man had surgery.

This may have been an extreme case, but it is easy to get hormone testing to determine if there is an imbalance. Other symptoms in addition to osteoporosis that are linked to a hormonal imbalance include prostate inflammation, low blood sugar.

Many women and doctors have reported excellent results from being on the Wiley Protocol, which in some cases has actually reversed bone loss.

"It was important to me to figure out what was safe, and what the science behind it was," she said in an interview about the Wiley Protocol that has been posted to YouTube. "I needed to understand how to handle problems that came up with patients on hormones. Nobody could answer my questions until I met T.S. Wiley and then attended her environmental endocrinology seminar," said Dr. Ryan. "I have switched everybody from the linear dosing to the Wiley Protocol rhythmic cycling. I've seen improvements in migraines, libido improved, insomnia, and vaginal dryness. Nobody has gained weight, which has been a big issue... I see their cholesterol levels come down, inflammation decrease and I can prove it with lab tests. I have also seen total reversals of osteoporosis after a year." Her favorite story is of one patient who experienced a ten percent improvement in bone density.

Santa Monica California-based DO Christian Renna said in a video interview about the Wiley Protocol bioidentical hormones that is posted on the Bioidenticalas network on You Tube, "the demand for Wiley Protocol is growing from the women who want it."

He continued by saying, "It doesn’t matter what the medical community has to say; it doesn’t matter what critics of medical protocols have to say or what commentators, newscasters or talk show hosts have to say … it really doesn’t matter. When something works and offers women this much benefit, they are going to get it, and they are going to promote it and popularize it.

Without question it is a better solution than women have in any other protocol. It’s better in terms of how they perceive it - like are my symptoms gone, do I have the energy restored that I wanted, can I sleep through the night, is my mood totally different now? The answer to all those is yes. When that happens they are going to be women telling other women you have to do this…"

People want to know if their symptoms are going to be relieved.
