Uterine Fibroid Tumors

Researchers have linked uterine fibroids with xenoestrogens, which are estrogen mimickers – artificial chemicals that can fit into estrogen receptors, and can cause 

Contaminated water is a prime source of xenoestrogens, as lakes and rivers near chemical processing plants where waste products are dumped, have been noted to have an extraordinary effect on the wildlife that live in the water. 

Researchers at the Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans have linked estrogenic toxins in the environment to uterine diseases such as fibroids and endometriosis.

They found that male fish, turtles and frogs in detergent-contaminated water started to develop female characteristics, such as ovaries, and decided to see whether the contaminated water affected mammals.

The researchers found that polar bears exposed to the contaminated water gave birth to hermaphrodite offspring (this means they are neither male nor female), and female seals developed an excess number of uterine fibroids.

When they started to research the effect of these chemicals on human females, the results were the same.  Women exposed to estrogenic toxins tended to develop more fibroids and endometriosis than women who were not exposed to the substances.

If you’re drinking this water, even if it’s been refined, or you eat plants or animals that have been farmed with this waster, then you are more likely to be affected by xenoestrogens. 

Contaminated water is just one source of xenoestrogens.  Your fibroids can grow from:

• Foods that cause fibroids to grow
• Substances that cause fibroids to grow

Xenoestrogens are environmental estrogens, artificially created as a by-product to the chemical industry.  In the past 10 years, there have been a lot of studies that have linked xenoestrogens to conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, infertility, lowered sperm counts and cancer. 

They are found in pesticides, PCBs, plastics, the lacquer that lines the inside of cans used for storing food, and many common foods and household products.

Xenoestrogens are recognised by estrogen receptors, but have a stronger effect on the cells than other types of estrogen.  Some of the most deadly xenoestrogens are PCBs.

PCBs were used in industry decades ago, but were banned in the 1970’s.   Although these substances are no longer in use, they have accumulated in water, soil and in the fat of animals and humans.  Scientists have even found the substances secreted in human breast milk!

Because they’re a mix of synthetic chemicals, they’re not very biodegradable, this means it’s difficult for the environment, and human body to break them down. 

It can take hundreds of years for these substances to be broken down in the environment, and in our bodies as they are unnatural substances that nature does not have processes or tools to deal with.
