Documentation from the University of Tennesse Hyperestrinism in dogs may be a new and emerging disease entity. In sample submissions to the Clinical Endorinology Service (2005) at The University of Tennessee, 40% of adrenal panels had elevated estradiol levels present (>70 pg/ml).29 In hyperestrinism cases, estradiol is the estrogen that is increased, ACTH stim and [...]

The balance of good health comes from a proper balance of active cortisol from the middle layer of the adrenal cortex and the estrogen that is produced from the inner layer adrenal cortex.
When these two hormones are in a proper balance both the hormone producing system and the immune system regulate the effects of good health.
When an imbalance occurs, the immune system may not protect the body with their functions and can lose recognition of self tissue allowing for destruction of the host.

This HIV virus is very similar to the FIV virus in that it appears that both viruses effect patients in a similar manner. This can be overcome in 70 % of cases involving cats and it may also apply to patients with aids.
It has been proven that a certain immune cell is responsible for protecting the body against viruses and fungi. This cell is called a T cell which is programmed through the thymus.

Supplements, good nutrition, and exercise are extremely important in slowing down the aging process, but no more important than are the homogeneity of the endocrine system, and its regulation of the immune cells, which hopefully will protect the body as it relates to anti-aging.
When an imbalance occurs between natural, active cortisol, and total estrogen, not only are the thyroid hormones bound, but a total, slow down of metabolism can occur. When this happens, breakdown products, toxins etc, are not decreased or properly broken down within a 24 hour period, but remain in the body, to kill vital cells needed for healthy maintenance of the body. This is where aging and not anti-aging begins.
