Missing: Men with Testosterone (and a Back Bone)
German version: https://legitim.ch/vermisstmeldung-maenner-mit-testosteron-und-rueckgrat/
There is a relentless attack on men (particularly white men) and masculinity since a few years as part of the greater agenda to completely change society into a dystopian hell hole. For eons it was part of the responsibility of men to protect and defend the weaker and stand up for what is right. During the Scamdemic there were very few men who stood up against the tyrannical impositions. Most meekly followed orders, complied with ridiculous mask mandates, social distancing, and worse, and took the shots. It’s a tyrant’s dream not to have to go up against strong willed opposition, such as men with a strong back bone. At the same time the tyrants have been suppressing the feminine for millennia and are now going as far as erasing women by letting biological men compete in women’s sport, use women’s locker rooms and toilets and sharing women only hospital wards.
What causes this meekness? Indoctrination to obey authority figures since early childhood certainly plays a role, but the lack of Testosterone will play a major role in the lack of inner and outer strength with which comes self-confidence.
Testosterone is responsible for muscle strength, sperm and red blood cell production, sex drive (libido), bone mass, facial hair and much more. On an emotional level, Testosterone plays a role in certain behavior such as aggression, dominance and competitiveness. Low Testosterone results in a loss of confidence and lack of motivation. It can also lower a man’s ability to concentrate or cause feelings of sadness. Low Testosterone can cause sleep disturbances and lack of energy, and can also result in erectile dysfunction (ED).
Why is Testosterone, the male sex hormone and with it sperm, becoming an endangered species?
Environmental & Pharmaceutical Products
We’re bombarded with chemicals that mimic the effects of Estrogen, the female sex hormone. If there is too much Estrogen in a man’s body compared to the amount of Testosterone, it’s has the same effect as not having enough Testosterone as Estrogens counteract some of the effects of Testosterone. These chemicals are called hormone or endocrine disruptors. The table below shows some of them.
Hormone Disruptors
Atrazine in pesticides
Glyphosate
Pesticides
Bisphenol A (and S)
Phthalates
Parabens
Nonylphenol Ethoxylate in detergents
Triclosan
Butylated Hydroxyanisole
Oxybenzone in sunscreen
They are found in food grown in soil treated with pesticides and the weed killer glyphosate, in the ground water, in plastic bottles, in all products with a fragrance. Most products use chemical fragrances as opposed to essential natural oil derived fragrance as they are cheap. These are found in scented candles, household cleaners, air fresheners and personal care products. A major chemical is phthalates which are also a plasticizer to make plastic flexible, transparent and durable. They are used in lubricants, binders, emulsifying agents, dispersants used to make end products such as enteric-coated drugs, glue, electronics, building materials, personal care products, food products, pesticides, paints, toys, modeling clay, packaging, textiles, shower curtains, sex toys, vinyl upholstery, floor tiles, cleaning materials, perfume, eye shadow, moisturizers, nail polish, dish soap, hair spray, and more. Phthalates are the dominant plasticizer in PVC.
They are not solidly bound to the plastics they’re mixed in and thus get released into the environment very easily. The CDC tested individuals and found metabolites of multiple phthalates in the urine of most of them. They are taken in through diet and the environment. Dietary intake accounts for most of it. It is very prevalent in fatty foods like butter, milk, and meat (non organic).
Bisphenol A, the main chemical used in plastics is just as bad as phthalates and also disrupts hormones. The industry has replaced it with Bisphenol S, but it’s just as bad. It is also found in printed receipts. It ubiquitous in the water ways and can turn male fish into female fish. The Canadians statistics office did a survey in 2010 and found that 91 percent of all Canadians were excreting BPA in their urine. The average level found was one part per million—about 1,000 times higher than Estrogen circulating in the body. Canadian teens had about 30 percent more BPA than adults. It hardly is oversight or coincidence that government agencies tasked with protecting the public from such chemicals are not doing their job.
Not only do they lower Testosterone relative to Estrogen in men, but they lower the actual Testosterone synthesis. Dr. Shanna Swan published in the International Journal of Andrology in November 2009 found that boys exposed to phthalates during their mothers’ pregnancy showed less male typical play behavior. They avoided toys like cars, trains, or toy guns and rough play. They preferred playing with feminine toys. Think of a boy playing with a Barbie doll. It’s not only suspected that phthalates interfere with the male sex hormone Testosterone, but that they also actually alter the brain structure.
The pharmaceutical industry is pushing antidepressant drugs on pregnant women to “prevent” postpartum depression. Many antidepressant drugs contain fifty times the “safe” phthalate levels. This madness produces an entire generation of feminized boys with low sperm count, infertility (an epidemic), and feminine body types. Other pharmaceuticals that contain high levels of phthalates are omeprazole, meselamine, theophylline, and didanosine.
Obesity
Obesity caused by over eating, lack of exercise, lack of good nutrition, stress, environmental toxins such as toxic metals and chemicals leads to an increase in Estrogens in the fat tissue as adipose tissue is a major site for Estrogen storage and metabolism. This really is a vicious circle as the relative and absolute lack of Testosterone and increased level of Estrogens leads to abdominal fat accumulation in men. The fat tissue then produces more Estrogens and so the vicious circle continues.
Age
When men enter Andropause around the age of 40-50 there often is a decline in Testosterone and a relative excess of Estrogen, leading to the accumulation of body fat, leading to more Estrogen. Excess Estrogen also leads to inflammation, which in turn damages the lining of blood vessels, causing the body to patch it up with cholesterol and other material causing clogged blood vessels.
The combination of enormous amounts of Estrogens from the environment and low Testosterone is outright deadly. Add to that the low or sub-optimal thyroid hormones, chronic stress, diabetes, lack of exercise, unhealthy food choices, and smoking and you have a ticking time bomb. It gives you the classic picture of a heart-attack prone man with excess fat around the waist and enlarged breasts. Such a man will not have the physical or mental strength to stand up to tyrants.
What can be done?
Stop the Intake: First and foremost, the intake of hormone disruptors should be stopped as much as possible. Organic food contains much less of them than regular food. Since water contains these chemicals, a good water filter is indispensable. The best filter system is a reverse osmosis system, preferably for the whole house, but at the minimum for the kitchen faucet. Avoiding plastics such as plastic bottles is an absolute must as are plastic containers, particularly when they are heated in the microwave. Microwave cooking is not good for us anyway. It kills the food.
A mother I met at a medical convention told me that her fourteen-year- old son started taking plastic water bottles to school a year earlier. Then he started to gain weight and develop a girl-type figure with gynecomastia (men breasts). I’m sure that if I were to test his testosterone level, it would be too low for his age.
I know of several young men with Testosterone levels that are lower than those of a ninety-year-old man. There were no obvious reasons found for their low hormone levels, and I suspect they were caused by the hormone disruptors BPA and phthalates.
Detox: Bisphenol as well as Phthalates are mostly excreted through sweat. Thus exercise and/or sauna are good ways to start sweating to eliminate these chemicals. The body loves to store things it doesn’t know what to do with in fat tissue. If you begin a fat loss regimen, make sure you do something to break into a sweat a few times per week so the body can detox the released chemicals from the fat tissue and drink plenty of clean, filtered water from glass or steel containers.
A healthy liver is also very important for detoxification. There are basically two supplements that support the liver: Silibinin/Silymarin from Milk Thistle and DLPC (Plaquex Oral).
Reduce Estrogen: Excess Estrogen can be reduced by eating cruciferous vegetables (Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbages) or by taking supplements that contain the main ingredients like Indole-3-Carbinol ( I3C), Chrysin and Diindolylmethane (DIM). These supplement also block the conversion of Testosterone into Estrogen.
After a while, Estrogen levels should decline in men taking the above steps and Testosterone levels should increase relative to Estrogen.
Increase Testosterone Naturally:
There’s a bit of truth to the “use it or lose it” theory. A man with low levels of Testosterone may lose his desire for sex. Sexual stimulation and sexual activity cause Testosterone levels to rise. Testosterone levels can drop during a long period of sexual inactivity.
Exercise, particularly lifting weights, helps to increase Testosterone as do competitive sports.
Eat protein and healthy fats. Testosterone is ultimately made from Cholesterol. A low fat diet will decrease Testosterone. Beware of cholesterol lowering pharmaceuticals!
Avoid stress or find a way to deal with it. As the stress hormone Cortisol goes up, Testosterone goes down. Cholesterol will be shunted to make Cortisol instead of Testosterone in stressful situations.
Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to low Testosterone levels. Expose skin to the sun responsibly to make your own from cholesterol (no sunscreen) or take a Vitamin D3 supplement.
Zinc is important for Testosterone production. Taking Zinc 15-30mg for one week per month is a good way to replenish the Zinc stores.
Maca root: The maca plant is from South America. It has been shown in clinical and pre-clinical studies to encourage healthy sexual performance1-3.
Muira puama extract: the Muira puama plant is also from South America. Muira puama has a long-established reputation for promoting healthy male sexual function.
HMRlignan™ Norway spruce lignan extract: Norway spruce tree is a source of lignan compounds, which are converted to enterolactone in the digestive tract. Enterolactone is then absorbed into the bloodstream.4,5 Blood levels of enterolactone have been shown to be related to youthful testosterone ratios.6,7
Get enough, but not too much sleep. One study found that 5 hours of sleep per night was linked to a 10%–15% reduction in Testosterone levels. A study involving older men found that increased sleep duration of up to 9.9 hours was associated with increased Testosterone levels. Conversely, sleeping more than 9.9 hours was tied to lower Testosterone levels.
If all the above fails, bio-identical Testosterone replacement therapy is the last option. This comes with the disadvantage that the testicles will begin to shrink as they are no longer needed to make Testosterone due to the feedback loop that hormones have. If you give hormones from outside, the body thinks there is plenty and stops poking the glands to make their own. Then the gland begins to shrink.
The supplemented Testosterone often turns into Estrogen as well which must be blocked by Chrysin, I3C and/or DIM. Sometimes the pharmaceutical aromatase inhibitor Arimidex is necessary to block the conversion of Testosterone into Estrogen. Therefore, this should be the last resort.
Testosterone levels as well as Estradiol levels should be measured if symptoms of too little Testosterone are present. It can be done as a blood test: Free and Total Testosterone, DHT (DiHydro Testosterone), Estradiol and SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globuline).
The most important hormones can also be measured in a saliva test for people who don’t have a doctor willing to do the blood test. The company I work for offers such a test with no prescription needed. It tests Estrone, Estradiol, Estriol, Progesterone, Testosterone, DHEA and 4x Cortisol. As nearly everybody has gone through major Stress it’s a good idea to check the stress hormone Cortisol at four different times during a 24 hour period and the hormone DHEA. Under chronic sustained stress, the adrenal glands reduce the output of DHEA. Supplementing with DHEA can give the adrenal gland a rest which has been taxed with making Cortisol.
Comprehensive Saliva Hormone Test
The saliva tests usually costs USD 376.--. Use the discount code HormoneSubstack to get a discount of USD 77.--, valid until 9.30.2023.
If you can get a blood test, then that is preferable to saliva testing. If not, the saliva test is better than no test at all to see where you stand and if your measures of increasing Testosterone and reducing Estradiol are working.
Call to Action
For the coming months and probably years, we will need strong, confident men to stand up against the tyranny being imposed worldwide. We need a large enough portion of passengers on airplanes, people at airports, hospitals, restaurants, stores and particularly schools and other places to refuse wearing a mask now that “mandates” are being put in place again. We need enough strong and confident men (and women) to refuse testing with a “test” that can’t test for disease and to refuse injections and “vaccine” passports. We need strong back bones to NOT comply with the tyrannical schemes by the evil that thinks it has the right to control the world.
So get your hormones tested, avoid the chemicals that feminize and take action to increase your Testosterone levels and lower Estrogen levels, gain self-confidence, be strong mentally, physically as well as emotionally and spiritually.
