According to Kim Schuette, CN, Certified GAPSâ„¢ Practitioner and owner of Biodynamic Wellness as well as the San Diego Chapter Leader for the Weston A. Price Foundation, gynecomastia responds extremely well to nutritional support and dietary change.
She has treated a number of cases successfully in recent years and the strategies employed by the staff at Biodynamic Wellness either via office visit, phone or Skype consultation include the following:
Immediately stop consumption of all sources of soy in order to remove plant estrogens from the diet. Because soy is in the vast majority of processed foods, this means freshly prepared, whole foods at home must become the rule rather than the exception. Many times, this change alone will resolve the problem.
Add iodine supplementation. Kim uses Iodoral or Nascent Iodine in her practice.
Add Symplex M from Standard Process.
Castor oil packs over the liver and/or coffee enemas. These two therapies assist the liver in processing all that excess estrogen causing the hormonal imbalance relative to testosterone.
Increase dietary animal fats to at least one tablespoon per meal.
Eliminate all grains for 30-60 days. After that time incorporate properly prepared, soaked grains.
Emphasis on a Nourishing Traditional diet.
Whole Vitamin C (not synthetic ascorbic acid) helps metabolize excess estrogen.
Some people are poor methylators (proper methylation in liver detoxification is critical for eliminating excess estrogen) and may benefit from methylated B vitamins with the addition of trimethylglycine (TMG). Fortunately, this last step is often not necessary.
