In this interview (below), Bulgarian bioenergetic researcher Georgi Dinkov discusses the downsides of estrogen and serotonin, both of which are generally considered beneficial for physical and mental health. The drug industry is making a mint on the idea that depression is caused by low serotonin, for example. However, a closer look reveals both estrogen and serotonin can cause severe problems and you do not want high levels of either of them.   Estrogen Is an Obesity Promoter and Known Human Carcinogen The original name for estrogen was adipin, so called because it was known to make you fat, as in adipose (fat) tissue. In the mid-‘50s, when the drug industry started pushing synthetic estrogens, this knowledge faded from memory. One of the most infamous early synthetic estrogens prescribed was diethylstilbestrol (DES), which caused fetal malformations and deaths, and cancers in the mothers who took it. DES was eventually withdrawn and banned for use in humans. DES is not es...

For more than two decades, hormone therapy for menopause was widely viewed as dangerous. Millions of women were discouraged from using estrogen or combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT), often being told the risks outweighed any potential benefit. In 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made a landmark decision: it removed the long-standing black box warning from hormone-based menopause drugs. The move has reignited debate over whether a generation of women was misled about hormone therapy — and how menopause treatment should be approached today.   The Women’s Health Initiative and the Rise of Hormone Therapy Fear The shift in public perception began in 2002 with early findings from the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), a large U.S. government-funded study examining hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women. Initial headlines warned that hormone therapy increased the risk of: Breast cancer Heart attacks Stroke and blood clots Dementia Pres...

Graves’ disease (GD), an autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD), is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism, or overproduction of the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).  GD symptoms include heart palpitations, hair loss, nausea, masses in the neck (goiters), skin issues, vision/eye problems, weight loss, moodiness, depression, and gut problems. [i] Common conventional treatments start with anti-thyroid medications such as methimazole and propylthiouracil. Possible side effects of anti-thyroid drugs are skin rash, itching, hives, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, headache, joint or muscle aches, loss of taste, and a metallic taste. Harsher follow-up treatments for 50 percent of patients include radioiodine therapy or surgery. [ii]  These treatments cause hypothyroidism, requiring thyroid medications for life. Although GD is considered to be chronic and incurable, there is new evidence that lifestyle changes may normalize TSH and its autoimmune markers. In a remarkable case study titled ...
