Why does my Doctor not know about Natural Progesterone?

Research of Natural Progesterone and its findings

Dr. Lee wasrepparttar 144785 first doctor to questionrepparttar 144786 use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and was heavily criticized for it. According to Dr. Lee only natural USP progesterone has a molecular structure identical torepparttar 144787 progesterone produced byrepparttar 144788 human body. He stated, "Synthetic hormones don't work as predicted and, worse, they pose a health threat to women."

Afterrepparttar 144789 infamous HRT "Nurses Study" was stopped due to numerous and dangerous side effects, including heart attacks, strokes and cancer, Dr. Lee's work was finally brought to light and taken seriously.
