To
keep a cystic liver in optimal health, limit exposure to estrogen,
phthalates, methylparabens, estrogen disruptors, phytoestrogens,
estrogen mimickers, xenoestrogens,bleach, pesticides, dry cleaning
, and more.
How can methylparabens affect us with cystic organs? Methylparabens are chemical compounds that resemble estrogen molecules, with a similar structure to human estrogen. These are called estrogen mimickers. These are also called false estrogens. These are also called xenoestrogens. These are also called estrogen disruptors. The common ones are methyl, propyl, butyl and ethyl parabens found in personal care products. Tucks is a product that some have used. This contains parabens. Here is a site that lists some paraben free skin products. Check they are also soy,fish oil, flax free as well. Endocrine disruptors are transported into the body, daily, via absorption through the skin and hair follicles when using personal care products.
What about plastic?
PLASTIC has
been considered unsafe for children and pregnant women when associated
with heated foods. I also avoid plastic to come into contact with any
thing that I put in my mouth. Plastic is a strong estrogen disruptor.
I think it is better to keep kidneys well hydrated rather than to avoid
drinking because of the plastic container. Try if possible to transfer
to a glass container. To read this article on BISPHENOL
A click here. Bisphenol A BPA has
been widely used in cosmetics and foods. However bishenol A is an estrogen
disruptor. Bisphenol A was investigated in the 1930s during the search
for estrogen mimics. From this study the synthetic compound diethylstilbestrol
was shown to be a better competitor with estrogen. Bisphenol A, can
activate estrogen receptors, leading to similar physiological effects
as the body's own estrogens The first evidence of the estrogenicity
of bisphenol A came from experiments in the 1930s in which it was fed
to rats with their ovaries removed. Liver cysts have estrogen receptors.
Some hormone disrupting effects in studies on animals and human cancer
cells have been shown to occur at levels as low as 2–5 ppb (parts
per billion). It has been claimed that these effects lead to health
problems such as, in men, lowered sperm count and infertile sperm.
Recent studies have confirmed that bisphenol A exposure during development
has carcinogenic effects and produce precursors of breast cancer. From Wikipedia

Phthalates A lab employee had two bottles of detergent, one for the floor and one for the cages, and he picked up the wrong one.The harsh alkaline floor detergent caused the plastic in the cages to begin to disintegrate, which leached a chemical called bisphenol A into the animals' food and water. Suddenly, 40% of the eggs had chromosomal abnormalities.
Phthalates Plastic may cause defects in infant boys.
Phthalates present in many beauty products. The not so pretty cosmetics.

Estrogen Metabolism -An active metabolite of estrogen may be even more powerful than
estrogen itself in stimulating the growth of certain breast cancer cells. This article is from great smokies laboratory.

of liver metabolism was greatly slowed.
Chemicals - How to reduce your exposure to chemicals in food. Although this is related to breast cancer it also applies to liver cysts. Liver cysts have hormone receptors just like many breast cancers.

What
are methylparabens? Methylparabens are harmful to liver cysts. They are a form of estrogen disruptors and as such can trigger liver cyst growth. In 2004 the media reported that English researchers identified parabens in samples of breast tumors. Parabens (alkyl esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid) are widely used as antimicrobial preservatives in thousands of cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceutical products, and food.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in their report "Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products in the Environment: Agents of Subtle Change?" reported that the chemical preservatives called parabens—methyl, propyl, butyl and ethyl (alkyl-p-hydroxybenzoates)—displayed estrogenic activity in several tests. This means that these chemicals mimic your body´s own hormones and can have endocrine-disrupting action when they are rubbed into your body or washed down the drain into your drinking water. These disruptors interfere with your body´s endocrine system: your hypothalamus, your ovaries, your thyroid—virtually every system in your body. The EPA also stated that "continual introduction of these benzoates (parabens) into sewage treatment systems and directly to recreational waters from the skin leads to the question of risk to aquatic organisms." Scientists in Europe found other endocrine-disrupting body care chemicals in the bodies of fish that humans are eating, and in human breast milk.
Dr. Elizabeth Smith has written that "It is a known medical fact that estrogen stimulates breast cancer" and that "anything absorbed through the skin may be as high as 10 times the concentration of an oral dose." (Think about how nicotine and birth control/hormone patches work—the chemicals are absorbed through the skin!) She also reported that, in one study, a paraben was injected under the skin and was found to have an "estrogenic response on uterine tissues." Scientists observing these harmful effects on the uterus remarked that "it is suggested that the safety in use of these chemicals should be reassessed."
Endocrine disruptors are transported into the body, daily, via absorption through the skin and hair follicles when using personal care products.

Ovarian cysts and xenoestrogens It seems that ovarian cysts are also triggered by exposure to too many xenoestrogens. This is from the yam progesterone people. I tried yam progesterone cream and it resulted in documented liver cyst growth. Progesterone, the yam creams are all to be avoided with severe polycystic liver disease.
Estrogen like compounds avoid. These affect fertility. If there is enough estrogen like
molecules to affect fertility -they will affect liver cyst growth.
False Estrogen like molecules can affect DNA. This will affect liver cysts, which are triggered by a change in the DNA, a dropping off of a substance.
