Slowing Down Early Puberty
Natural Remedies to Halt or Slow Signs of Early Puberty in Children
"Precocious puberty (La:pubertas praecox) is an unusually early onset of puberty, the process of sexual maturation triggered by the brain, which usually begins in late childhood and results in reproductive maturity and completion of growth. Early puberty may be a variation of normal development, or may be a result of a disease or abnormal hormone exposure. In some contexts, the term is used more broadly to describe the early appearance of any of the physical features of puberty even if the complete brain-directed process is not occurring.
Early pubic hair, breast, or genital development may result from natural early maturation or from several other conditions." (Wikipedia)

[QUESTION] 10/27/2009: Julie from USA: "Hi,
I found your site as I was looking to try and find natural ways to help slow down my 10 year old son's precocious puberty. He has a cyst on the pineal gland, is very short and is developmentally delayed. The doctor wants to do lupron shots but we are against it. Do you have any ideas for us or articles to read? Thanks so much, Julie"

THEORY AND DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS
08/20/2008: Linsa from Columbus, Ohio: "I believe the cause for early puberty, especially in the USA is because of the excess in soy, growth hormones in dairy and not enough fresh foods and too much fast food resulting in overweight children. It is a fact that over weight children with hit puberty sooner than normal weight children. The fat makes your hormones go crazy having to over compensate for extra fat. With all the soy hidden in the ingredients people don't even realize they are consuming it. Soy contains phytoestrogens which can mimic your own estrogen and creates an over growth of estrogen resulting in girl as early puberty and boys certain girlish features and penis abnormalities. Conventional dairy contains artificial growth hormones that accumulate in humans and as the name says cause growth. This is also causing infertility in many people today. Start your children out on an organic diet if you can, if not at least get dairy and meat organic or raised without hormones. Cut out fast food and increase fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains and lots of fiber."
RepliesEC: Yes, and don't forget about the growth hormones that they feed to cattle and chickens to plump them up! Growth hormones are reported to improve weight gain in cattle by 5 to 20%.
04/17/2009: Qwerty replies: "Should point out that Japan has the highest consumption of Soya Beans / Soy related products and they dont have any historical data indicating early onset of puberty."
04/17/2009: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "To Lindsa who is concerned over soy products causing early puberty:
Hello Lindsa,
I have read (don't remember what in or how long ago) that fluorescent lights causes early puberty. I haven't read anything to refute it since, but since our culture is working on saving electricity by going all fluorescent, we may observe for ourselves whether early pubery gets more rampant, as our old light bulbs disappear.
I also remember reading something more recent blaming dizziness or loss of equiliibrium on fluorescent lighting. Haven't seen anyone refuting it either."
05/12/2009: Mom2_3 from Baltimore, Maryland replies: "Joyce from TN: Where did you get all your info on fluorescent lighting? I have heard that it is bad for your immune system...can you please help me find more info?"
02/17/2012: Nutrition Expert from Zerbo's, Mi replies: "This might be so but another factor that is missed is environmental estrogens like BPA that is leached from plastics and microwaved foods in plastics. Another estrogenic property is uncontrolled sugar levels. This is the reason for many reproductive cancers and/ or cysts in adults. Although a child may not be a diabetic, diet that is higher on refined carbohydrates (bromine treated white flour) and little to no trace minerals in the diet will lead to high sugar levels and therefore increase estrogenic properties in young girls. DIM or cruciferous vegetables will help to metabolize these exo-estrogens (environment) more water, iodine to fill in the bromide and flouride and chloride ions (from tap water), exercise to flush the fat cells of their storage ( or sweating) and animal protein more often to balance blood sugar. No GMO soy products."
