Dwarfs and Giants -- Unless you are a pituitary dwarf or giant or have acromeglia you won't have your pituitary gland treated by modern medicine. Slight overactivity or underactivity of this gland is just not detected. Overactivity of the anterior pituitary gland is a particular problem. It is seen in type I diabetes cases, 95% of all cancer cases, at least 50% of cases of periodontal disease,and arthritis cases. The overactivity of this gland has to be supressed and the hormones will do this. It involves using micro doses of estrogen, testosterone, or a combination of both. This treatment also does double duty because it also corrects the andric/gynic balance. Testing by checking calcium/phosphorous ratios and sugar levels is used to determine the correct combination and dosages. R. Forbes
