Today I want to talk about the difference between hormone therapy and glandular therapy, right?

I know the name for glandular therapy is organotherapy using organ extracts from animals,

whether it's a sheep, pig, or cow. And this therapy was used in even hospitals in the late

1800s, early 1900s, I think up to like in the 30s, it was used.

But then we started isolating the hormones in the gland tissue and then making them synthetic.

And that's what we have now.

You can get growth hormone.

You can get thyroxin, which is T4 in the form of synthroid. You can get estradiol,

testosterone, insulin, cortisol, adrenaline. And so this is what our treatment for the endocrine

system has become. You know, when someone has a hormonal imbalance or hormonal deficiency,

I always want to ask a question, why? Why are your hormones

deficient in the first place? There are a lot of complications and side effects that occur when you

start to do hormonal therapy. If we talk about the endocrine system and look at it from a very

simplistic viewpoint, you have the gland,

you have the hormone, and you have the connection or receptor where it goes, right? And so what you're

looking at is a very rudiment communication network. The gland is kind of like the thing that

makes the hormone. The hormone is the communication. This hormone communication travels

through the blood and it gets received by a receptor on the other end. And so it's the receptor

that activates certain functions through genes and certain proteins. And when that activation

occurs, there's also something else that's

very, very important in this communication mechanism. And it's the feedback loop that's connected

with this communication. In other words, it's a control mechanism that's controlled by the receptor.
