Consider study conducted by Dr. Susan Hendricks, who found that long-term use of estrogen and progestin significantly increased chances of cancer, stroke and heart attack. Estrogen and progestins have been used to replace hormones that are no longer produced during menopause. The lack of these natural hormones triggers common menopausal side effects such as hot flashes, mood swings, and insomnia. Dr. Hendricks’ study included 16,608 women between ages of 50 and 79, at 40 hospitals nationwide.

Hendricks’ case study results of long-term use of estrogen and progestin: stroke risk rose 41%, heart attack risk rose 29%, and cancer cases increased 26% above average.

Premarin , which is most common HRT being prescribed today for menopausal women, is a unique blend of horse hormones, which include only minute amounts of progesterone. While prevalent thinking was “horse juice” prevented osteoporosis, recent studies indicate that it is likely small amount of progesterone that is actually beneficial. Despite recent studies, there is still no endorsement of transdermal progesterone by medical community at large. However, there is an increasing use of progesterone creams by women outside medical establishment due to heightened publicity.

Since Dr. Lee’s book hit shelves more medical professionals have been conducting rigorous studies and are now claiming that it is impossible to deny viability of natural progesterone creams .
