The
earlier onset of puberty is conventionally ascribed to the increase in
hormone-mimicing chemicals in the environment today. Soy, which contains
estrogen, is an important ingredient in many diets today, but was rare a
few generations ago. Beef cattle and chickens
are fed hormones to fatten them for slaughter, dairy cattle are given
bovine
somatotrophin, a hormone that stimulates lactation, to increase milk
supply, and crops are sprayed with herbicides that contaminate
groundwater with residues that affect the
human endocrine system.
All
of these are well-established facts, confirmed by numerous scientific
studies by many laboratories over many years. There is no doubt that
psychological factors can play a huge role in psysical functioning, but
what is the evidence for the statement by an orgonomist that the
increase in early-onset puberty is due to lessening of sexual repression
in childhood? We are accustomed to the idea that in orgonomy, there are
concepts that run counter to those of mainstream science, but most of
those orgonomic concepts are based on
solid experimental evidence. Is the statement by a well-known orgonomist that earlier puberty is
caused by social and
psychological factors one of them, or is it only a
speculation?
