How I Overcame My 50-Year Struggle With Gynecomastia

Before we get started, here's a little story from one of my clients, Sammie Fields.
Hey there I’m Sammie.

I’m in my 70s now and I’m finally enjoying my life as a masculine-looking guy. I struggled with gynecomastia ever since puberty. Back in the day it was totally unheard of for a man to have breasts.

Man boobs were quite a rare thing. If you think having man boobs is bad now, try having them in the 60s. I spent my entire life in fear that someone would notice my breasts. I stayed away from women - I was horrified of the bedroom. I also stayed away from the beach and only got out wearing the thickest of clothing to try and conceal myself.

Back then there was no internet, and no information out there to help me. I tried everything I could to try and get rid of my man boobs. I lost weight and tried different diets but all to no avail.

One day however, just a few years ago I came across a newspaper article.

This article complained of how male fish in our waters were becoming feminized. Scientists had studied these male fish and found how they had developed feminine characteristics, even to the point of producing eggs! Apparently this was due to the prevalence of the female hormone estrogen in our water supply.

Apparently, due to most government water filtration systems (including the US), estrogen passes unfiltered right into our taps, and straight into your belly when you drink that glass of water.

The estrogen is being absorbed by us and is resulting in modern man having low sperm counts, fertility problems and gynecomastia. Heck it might even be responsible for the boom in the male cosmetics industry (joke).

So I went out there, did some research and found some other shocking sources of estrogen that exist especially in the modern environment, but were also there in the past albeit in much lower quantities and not as widespread back in the day.

Why am I telling you all this?

Well I lost my man boobs in my mid-sixties. The only way I managed to succeed was after I armed myself with the facts, and all the information I needed to know about the very root cause of my gynecomastia.

If I could get rid of my gynecomastia in my sixties, then I know for a fact that anyone else can do it too. So if you're about to give up or you have given up and are ready to face the world as a pseudo-man, then I'm here to tell you to wake up! Get out of that trance, shake yourself up and inform yourself of real working tactics that have been proven time and time again to help many thousands of guys lose their man boobs permanently using all-natural methods.

And I can't think of a better person to help you than my good friend Robert Hull. I leave you to his very capable hands and I'm sure that you will learn much on his new blog.

I survived: the alcoholic who healed herself

I thought, 'Someone up there wants me to stay alive. I should try to do that from now on and work it out.? I lay there in cold water thinking, 'I have got to sort my stuff out: what baggage can I dump easily? I cannot easily change myself, but I can dump booze.?

I found a counsellor and he recommended Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). I tried it, but it didn?t work for me. Part of the reason I?d got myself into such a mess was because I was always getting too involved in other people?s lives and had not paid enough attention to my own. I?d been having relationships with addicts, and if you get involved with an addict you never mean as much to them as the drink or drugs do.

I?d spent hours on end listening to other people?s problems but felt no one was really listening to mine. I?d had it with other people?s problems, but that?s what AA is all about.

So I went off and did things my own way one step at a time. First I stopped drinking at home, and then one night ? 12 September 2002, a date I will never forget ? I thought, 'I am going out sober.? I went to a friend?s birthday and it was OK. I watched as other people became very loud, and I didn?t stay out late. Back home, I thought, 'Wow, I?ve been out for the evening and not had a drink ? how amazing. I am going to stay like that.?

I wouldn?t describe myself as sorted, though. I do still get depressed, but it?s a lot less bad than when I was out partying. I am very proud I haven?t slipped off the wagon; there were a few periods I easily could have, like when my father died a few years ago, but I have stuck to it.

If you go to a party and see a woman with a mug surrounded by people with glasses of wine, that?s me. I like tea; it?s become my trademark.

It?s funny because in my party years, if someone had the temerity to go home at three in the morning, my friends and I would phone them up at 7am when we were still going strong and shout, 'Lightweight!? Now I am a permanent lightweight, and some of my former friends are saying, 'Oh, she?s boring,? but I don?t care. I can walk into all sorts of situations ? stressful, exciting, naughty ? that they would need a drink to be able to get through, so they are the lightweights, I think.
