Why does my Doctor not know about Natural Progesterone?
For years women have been subjected to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), using synthetic hormones (like Diosgenin) to balance and ease
symptoms of menopause. These synthetics, prescribed to millions of women to ease immediate symptoms of menopause, prevent osteoporosis and heart disease, have now been found to actually increase
risk of heart disease, cancer and blood clots.
The primary reason so few studies have been performed on natural progesterone is lack of financial interest.
Pharmaceutical companies will not spend research, development or marketing money on a product they cannot patent, and no one can patent Progesterone; it's a naturally occurring hormone in
body.
Research of Natural Progesterone and its findings
Dr. John R. Lee, a renowned expert and leader in
field of research advocating
use of natural progesterone, was asked why doctors don't use or prescribe natural progesterone. His answer: "… it is not favored by
medical-industry complex."
Dr. Lee was
first doctor to question
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 to
progesterone produced by
human body. He stated, "Synthetic hormones don't work as predicted and, worse, they pose a health threat to women."
After
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.
What are your Progesterone Options
If you are unsure if your progesterone levels are too low (or in rare cases, too high), we recommend that you discuss testing your levels with your doctor.
One of
best home tests for evaluating levels of these hormones is a saliva test. Aeron Life Cycles provides accurate and convenient saliva tests for both consumers and
medical profession.
Protein Hormones vs. Steroid Hormones
Protein hormones are produced by glands like
hypothalamu, pituitary and thyroid. Such hormones inculde growth hormone and thyroxin. Supplies of these hormones are stored within
gland and released as needed.
Steroid hormones are made from cholesterol and include pregnenolone, progesterone, DHEA, and estrogen. These hormones are not stored; they are produced on an as-needed basis.
While conventional creams allow only 30% of their active ingredients to permeate
skin,
Natural Balance Plus Creme (http://www.naturalbalanceplus.us), a high-quality, all-vegetarian skin crème, supplies progesterone to counter estrogen dominance or maintain nerve myelin in areas of inflammation, through
application of an all-natural crème containing ingredients of
highest standard.
Reasearch has shown that natural progesterone creme best works when using a 5-day rotation schedule. Result will vary anywhere from 3 days to 3 months before you see any changes depending on your body type.
