Myths There are many myths attached to breast cancer. Some think that any lump in breast is a breast cancer but to contrary most of them are benign. Similarly it was a popular belief earlier that breast-feeding decreases one’s risk of cancer but that has been now found to be untrue. Some say that mammography makes breast cancer widespread but it’s not true. Similarly there are many other myths, which need to be cleared in mind of general mass for proper detection and management of tumor.

Early detection Breast cancer can be detected in an early stage if women are taught to self-examine their breast. In case of detection of any breast lump or of any slightest suspicion, mammography should be done to rule out any tumor. Mammography is a good tool to diagnose this type of cancer.

Statistics The incidence of breast cancer is increasing at an alarming rate. It is said that every 2-3 minutes one American woman is diagnosed a breast cancer.

Progesterone, a highly fat soluble and essential hormone created by our body naturally when body metabolizes "mother of all hormones," pregnenolone.

Pregnenolone is precursor for corticosterone, testosterone, estrogen progesterone, DHEA, cortisol and aldosterone both in men and in women.

Look at research that was done over years (and is still going on around world):

The question for both genders is: 'how much progesterone is your body producing to help keep you hormonally balanced.'

The key word here is "balance." As we get older we tend to produce less and less progesterone for a variety of reasons, such as menopause, creating a hormone imbalance that can affect us in many ways.

There is a big difference between pharmacological versud physiological doses of a hormone.

Pharmacological doses are superphysiological that involve taking large quatities of an active ingrediet. These doses exceed level found naturally in human body and promote abnormal actions and imbalances.

Physiological doses are merely a replacement designed not to exceed normal levels.

In case of pregnenolone, less than 50mg a day may constitue a good physiological dose. In fact many people have obtained excellent resuts with much less (15-20 mg per day).

With DHEA, 25 - 50 mgs are recommend for women; 50 to 100 mgs for men per day. For those taking progesterone, 20 mg a day is sufficient. If you are over 50 years of age, you may require slightly more, while those youngs may require slightly less.

Why do we need to supplement with a hormone?
