More Support for LDN/Risperdal/Prolactin Hormone

The hormone Prolactin is instrumental in myelination of the brain and the immune response!  We need to protect this hormone to protect our immune system and our brain.

PART 1:
Dr. Rhonda Patrick:  Found My Fitness

Here is an image from the video podcast that explains the positive impacts of heat stress like sauna.  There are many brain impacts -- neurogenerative and myelination.  Prolactin is increased by LDN.  (See my test results on the first page of this blog.)  Prolactin is also increased by Risperdal, Re: psychiatrist.  Dr. Patrick says: Prolactin increases the production of myelin.  There is hope!  Pretty cool.

I think we are on the right track.  :-)

(So sorry about Rhonda's funny, funny face.  I caught her off guard. :-)   )

    PART 2:
    And the Journal of Neuroscience, May 1 2001:

"Taken together, prolactin acting at brain level has to be considered as a novel regulator of both emotionality and HPA axis reactivity."

PART 3:

From the Society for Endocrinology, www.yourhormones.info, 2015:

Definition:  Prolactin is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland, named because of its role in lactation. It also has other wide ranging functions in the body from acting on the reproductive system to influencing behaviour and regulating the immune system.

"Most people with low prolactin levels do not have any specific medical problems, although preliminary evidence suggests they might have reduced immune responses to some infections.

CONCLUSION:  Since estrogen also plays a role in modulating prolactin, my use of Bio-HRT and my reduced dose in Spring 2013, may have seriously impacted my immune system!   This explains why I suddenly needed anxiety medicines for the first time at age 56!

I predict, the Bio-HRT doctors will add prolactin to the sex hormones they manage and monitor!  They should use immunological markers/infection evidence in the future for determining the efficacy of BioHRT and the proper dose for each individual.  

Wouldn't it be nice to have enough hormones to adequately support your body's response to infection?
