Dear Knight:

It is extremely difficult to use tea tree oil as abirth control device, or breast enlarger creams forwoman who wants larger breasts. It would be fantasticif that were possible. However, you get better chanceswith hormone replacements.

Most popular press are the voice of the industry'ssponsors or owned by one and anytime antibioticsdangers is likely to be overlooked while they willmagnify the issue of of natural therapiesdisproportionally. Of course natural therapies hurtantibiotics sales and if any industry knows about thisthey will find an excuse somehow.

If you want to know the truth, it is best to look intoscientific journals, where there is less industrysponsor's influence.

There is in fact only one study into this area whichconcerns the use of tea tree oil in adolescents. Thebest way to prevent this adolescent problems in youngboys is simple: use either one or the other but notboth. However the dangers of antibiotics studies isincomparable and it easily reach thousands. Certainherbs can also neutralize estrogenic properties incase you worry, such as wild yams. Most commercialproducts have far more estrogen components than thatof natural therapy, such as those found ininsecticides, woman's perfume, soaps, detergents, etc.

The best way to stabilize the hormones with all thepseudoestrogen out there, I think might be the use ofboron supplements which tend to increase the body'sproduction of hormones such as testosterone, as wellas decrease in prostrate cancer. The boron supplementsI use is a simple borax which I take on many ocassionsfor fungus, yeast, arthritis, bone problems,tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.
