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.

Bioidentical hormones has basically become a catch all phrase for anything that is not a synthetic hormone. What the word actually means is commonly applied to look-alike molecules derived from “natural” plants that are substituted for our own endogenously-produced hormone molecules. So “natural” or bioidentical hormones are made in a laboratory. How? By converting natural plant compounds from wild yams and soybeans into chemical molecules that are identical to those made in the human body (17-beta estradiol, progesterone, or testosterone hormones.)

In actuality, these sources of plant hormones mimic the chemical structure of hormones produced by a human body, with the premise that the body can’t distinguish these "created" bio-identical hormones from the ones the female ovaries "produce" on their own naturally.

Bio-identical hormones are available in standardized tablets, patches, compounded creams, gels and injectable prescriptions.

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.

Wiley Systems is introducing two new Wiley Protocol rhythms at the American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM) this week from November 4-8, 2009 at the Rio Las Vegas hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The rhythmic protocols include Snooz™ - Seasonal Neuroendocrine Optimal Organizational Zeitgeber; Melatonin, and Sparc™ Therapy - Seasonal Pulsatile Adrenal Recalibration; Cortisol capsules. These protocols will be available doctors and pharmacists by December 1, 2009.

Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that regulates the circadian rhythms of several biological functions. Cortisol is produced by the pituitary gland makes adrenocorticotropic hormone, or ACTH, which stimulates the adrenal gland, which produces Cortisol. If a person doesn’t have enough ACTH to stimulate the adrenal gland to make Cortisol, or if the adrenal gland is not able to make Cortisol, this person will need to take Cortisol replacement therapy.

“The rhythm of nature is so internalized that every molecular action of every hormone to its receptor, on every gene in every cell, functioning in every organ of your body, hears the cosmic tune,” said T.S. Wiley, author and developer of the Wiley Protcol. “Cortisol, insulin, melatonin, prolactin, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, and growth hormone all play like the keys of a grand piano in response to environmental sheet music.”

Recently there have been news articles about hormone therapies that could cause alarm if taken out of context - when in fact the news is NOT about bioidentical hormones. One new study was recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reporting an association between hormone use and ovarian cancer. In another, written up in the LA Times, the article talks about hormones and lung cancer.

Then you may have heard it in the news when CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta reported the study results. However, the study is NOT talking about bioidentical hormones. It refers to synthetic hormones. Synthetic hormone replacement, not balanced, with progestins, is harmful.

Here’s what you need to know, understand, remember and explain to both doctors and other women alike when it comes to hormone therapy.

This study culled the health records of nearly 1 million Danish women, and researchers found a 38 percent greater risk of ovarian cancer among women who were currently taking hormone therapy.

900,000 women studied over 10 years showed that ovarian cancer was up 30 to 40 percent whether women were on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for six months or 10 years.

Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, the makers of PremPro, made this comment: The findings in the study do not change what we already know about the benefits and risks of HRT which is based on data from multiple studies. HRT remains a good health care choice for the appropriate woman seeking relief from moderate to severe menopausal symptoms.

"This statement may have made sense years ago but it doesn't now, " said T.S. Wiley. It wasn’t just the chemical composition of drugs in PremPro that made us sick. It was the dosage too. And there is no doubt Wyeth knows this and still will not withdraw the drug from the marketplace."

Here's a video about why hormones are dose dependant.
