Frequently Asked Questions...
What
Is A Hormone ?
Hormones are substances secreted
directly into the bloodstream and are produced by several glands and organs
in your body such as the ovaries, testes, thyroid, pancreas, pituitary,
liver and others. They travel through the bloodstream from where they are
produced to where they interact with receptors to do the work for which
they were intended. They initiate reactions in the body, whereas enzymes
usually help to facilitate them. Hormones regulate fluid retention, mineral
metabolism, sexual function and libido, reproductive functions, growth and
development, aging and numerous other functions.
What
Is Natural Progesterone Cream ?
Natural Progesterone is
an important hormone manufactured by the adrenal glands in men and women
and in the ovaries in women. Extra amounts are manufactured by the placenta
during pregnancy. Progesterone is responsible for numerous functions taking
place that are necessary for optimum health.
What
Is Estrogen ?
Estrogen is a hormone produced
in the body. Estrogen is to a woman what testosterone is to a man. However,
both women and men have some of each, but women have more. It is the basic
female sex hormone and is responsible for the development of female characteristics.
It is balanced in healthy individuals by progesterone.
What
Are Xeno-Estrogens ?
These are synthetic compounds
that occur as a result of petrochemical industries and environmental pollution.
When ingested or exposed to our bodies, they act like estrogen and can cause
the same negative effects such as the unopposed synthetic estrogen that
is prescribed by physicians.
What
Are Progestins ?
Progestins are synthetic compounds
that are intended to mimic the actions of natural progesterone. However,
they actually cause numerous side effects and should be avoided.
What
Is Hormonal Imbalance ?
Hormonal
imbalance is a term that has become popular to describe an incorrect relationship
that exists between levels of progesterone and estrogen. It occurs in nearly
every instance where synthetic hormones are prescribed by physicians.
Can
You Explain Hormone Cycles ?
During the first half of a woman's
monthly cycle her body is prepared for accepting a fertilized egg. As estrogen
levels increase during the first half of the cycle, water and nutrient storage
takes place. At this point, progesterone begins to become the dominant hormone
for the second half of the cycle. If fertilization occurs, progesterone
levels increase to very high levels for several months. If fertilization
does not occur, levels of both estrogen and progesterone lessen, but progesterone
remains dominant.
What
Is HRT ?
HRT is an abbreviation for Hormone
Replacement Therapy. Several years ago it became popular for
doctors to prescribe the hormone estrogen for women with menopausal symptoms.
They thought they were replacing the hormones lost with the advent of menopause.
Contemporary physicians now know that estrogen is not the hormone needing
to be replaced. They are becoming increasingly aware that it is progesterone
that is desperately in need of replacing. So, when synthetic estrogen is
given, it actually aggravates the symptoms all the more. Later, these synthetic
estrogen products were formulated to include synthetic progestins to offset
some of the bad effects of estrogen dominance. This vicious cycle is just
now beginning to be understood with the advent of natural progesterone.
What
Benefits Can I Expect ?
There is
much evidence that men and women, especially women, suffer from reduced
levels of progesterone. Keeping progesterone levels to optimum levels
can help fight depression and anxiety, increase sexual libido, fight aging skin, wrinkles and brown spots, help oxygenation
of cells, alleviate sleeplessness, control acne, reduce premenstrual discomforts,
protect against breast fibroids, reduce hair thinning, reduce hot flashes
etc.
Why
Natural Progesterone Only ?
Synthetic progesterone (progestins)
simply do not perform the same functions in the body. They can even lower
your levels of progesterone. Natural progesterone is also a precursor
to many other hormones in your body, so it is imperative that it be used
in its natural form.
What
About My Emotions ?
Most women notice a leveling
off of their emotions when they get their progesterone levels up to where
they should be, especially if they have been a victim of estrogen dominance.
Some women actually report a feeling of well-being or euphoria. Thus, it
has been dubbed "the happy hormone."
What
About Using Natural Progesterone Cream If I Am On Birth Control Pills
?
Birth control pills usually contain
synthetic progestins. It is not recommended to take them together.
Birth control pills have been known to cause many health problems when taken
over a long period of time.
Do
Post-Menopausal Or Hysterectomized Women Still Produce Hormones ?
The best way to describe a hysterectomy
is "instant menopause." What is not really understood by most doctors is
that the body continues to produce about 40% of the estrogen it once had
been producing before menopause or hysterectomy, even through the ovaries
have been removed. However, progesterone levels decrease more severely.
The symptoms usually attributed to low estrogen are really due to a lack
of progesterone. Women who are in this category seem to notice the benefits
of natural progesterone much quicker than those who are still menstruating.
Can
I Discontinue HRT ?
Many women now taking estrogen
or estrogen combined with progestins are able to discontinue their HRT.
Please consult with a medical professional before doing so. It is possible
that if adequate natural progesterone levels were present, any needed estrogen
could be made from it. Because progesterone sensitizes estrogen receptors,
it makes sense to supplement with progesterone rather than estrogen. If
you are taking hormone replacements and begin applying our product and do
not lower your estrogen dosage, you may experience symptoms of estrogen-dominance,
so with your doctor's permission, lower your estrogen dose. Continue replacing
your HRT with progesterone and after a while you will have discontinued
your HRT.
How
Can I Tell About My Progesterone Levels ?
A woman can usually tell by how
she is feeling. However, blood or saliva testing is recommended. (Dr. John
Lee * recommends only the saliva test.)
What
About Estrogen And Cancer ?
There is now no question that
estrogen can be linked to certain cancers. For instance, it has been
shown to contribute as much as a 30% increase in breast cancer. It
has also been shown that as many as two thirds of women taking estrogen
can develop uterine lining abnormalities. Also, evidence is showing that
estrogen use can be associated with cancer of the bladder, pancreas, cervix,
endometrium and brain.
What
About PMS ?
Estrogen dominance is usually
associated with PMS. In the earlier parts of the cycle and just before it
begins, progesterone levels are usually low while estrogen levels are beginning
to increase. Applying progesterone is one sure way of balancing out the
estrogen dominance. Numerous benefits can occur by using our cream during
the month. It is usually recommended to use it each day, except the days
of menses.
Should
I Use Progesterone ?
It is highly recommended. Due
to faulty diets, decreased nutrients in our foods and the stress that we
experience, most women have reduced levels of all hormones, but especially
progesterone. We are exposed to numerous xeno-estrogens (certain chemicals
in the environment that have effects on the body similar to estrogen). Keep
in mind that health problems arise from not only the estrogen itself, but
from imbalance resulting from a deficiency in progesterone.
If
Natural Progesterone Is So Wonderful, Why Isn't It Used By My Doctor ?
This is the question most frequently
asked of Dr. Lee during his more than 30 years of active clinical practice.
To quote from Dr. Lee: "The medical-industrial complex refers to the close
knit association of organized medicine with the pharmaceutical manufacturers
and governmental medical regulatory agencies... The system taken together
is neither necessarily corrupt nor evil, but, like any human agency, is
subject to the frailties and faults of humankind. Medical research is dependent
on the billions of dollars of grants from the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) and the private pharmaceutical industry. The two are closely interlocked.
Any given pharmaceutical company,
like any private enterprise, must make a profit to stay alive. Profit
comes from the sales of patent medicines. The system is not interested
in natural (non-patentable) medicines, regardless of their potential health
benefits. Thus the flow of research funding does not extend to products
which cannot be patented.
Few people know that the definition
of malpractice hinges on whether or not the practice is common among one's
medical peers and has little (usually nothing) to do with whether the
practice is beneficial or not. A doctor willing to study, to learn the
ins and outs of an alternative medical therapy, and to put what he has
learned into practice in helping patients is potentially exposing himself
to serious charges of malpractice.
But what does all this have
to do with natural progesterone? The answer is quite simple, really. Ample
medical research regarding progesterone was carried on from the 1940's
through the 1960's, and amply reported in mainline, recognized medical
literature. Since the early 1970's, however, medical research has become
much more expensive and the grants subsidizing progesterone research,
(or any unpatentable medicine or treatment technique), have dried up and
been blown away by the contemporary trade winds of synthetic drugs, particularly
the progestins. The potential market for patentable progestins is vast--
contraceptive pills, irregular menses, --literally every woman
through the age of puberty on is a target for a sale. Do you think the
prevailing powers wish to see this lucrative market left to an over-the-counter
natural product not in the hands of physician prescribers and not controlled
by the pharmaceutical industry?
Thus, when he (the physician)
hears of the use of natural progesterone, he wonders why none of his associates
know about it. If it is not commonly know, 'it must in some way be false
and/or unapproved.' Having given lectures on the role and medical uses
of natural progesterone, I have observed numerous instances wherein perfectly
fine physicians will inquire about obtaining product for use by their
wives or mother-in-law but not for their patients. What can account for
such behavior by professionals? I suspect that it is fear of alienation
from the flock that is paramount in their minds. If progestins were the
equivalent of natural progesterone in effect and safety, the argument
would be moot. But progestins are not the equivalent of natural progesterone
and never will be."

Why
Is A Premium Quality Cream Superior To Capsules Or Suppositories ?
Nature did not intend women to
put hormones into their stomachs. Consequently, about 80% of orally administered
progesterone is intercepted by the liver and passed out of the body, unused.
Progesterone in suppository form is also intercepted by the liver and bound
up by the wax vehicle. In either case, because there is no sound basis for
putting an extra burden on the liver, informed women have chosen to use
a transdermal cream which is almost 100% biologically available, as shown
by salivary hormone assays.
Why
Progesterone ? Isn't Mexican Wild Yam Enough ?
A component of yam (diosgenin)
was, at one time, thought to be converted in the body to progesterone but
that has been proven to be unsubstantiated. In fact, while it has certain
health benefits, there are no published studies that would allow one to
conclude that Mexican Wild Yam will increase progesterone levels in humans
or animals. Only supplemental natural progesterone has been demonstrated
to increase serum and saliva progesterone levels in women, a fact that is
verified by ample clinical and published scientific research.
Are
There Any Reported Side Effects Associated With Progesterone?
There are no reports of any
significant side effects or health problems associated with natural
progesterone. However, the Physician's Desk Reference has a long list of
side effects and contraindications for what is commonly referred to as progesterone,
but which are really synthetics.
Should
Natural Progesterone Be Used During My Pregnancy ?
In his book, Premenstrual Syndrome
& You, Neils H. Lauersen, MD, from the Mount Sinai Medical Center in
New York, states that natural progesterone may be helpful to maintain pregnancy.
However, synthetic progestagens should not be used because they may adversely
affect the developing fetus.
No adverse effects on fetal
development have been reported when natural progesterone was used during
pregnancy. Dr. Lauersen says studies on the offspring of women who used
natural progesterone during their pregnancies have given birth to especially
well-adjusted children. Dr. Dalton summarized her 1968 research of 90
children whose mothers received ante-natal progesterone compared with
matched controls. She noted that more children of mothers who had received
ante-natal progesterone were still being breast-fed at six months; more
were standing and walking at one year; and at nine to 10 years of age,
more had demonstrated superior performance, compared to the control group,
in academic subjects such as verbal reasoning, English, arithmetic and
craft work. Both groups were equally developed in physical education.
None of the ante-natal progesterone mothers experienced toxemia during
the pregnancy; in the control group, more than half experienced toxemia.
This natural cream is not
only safe for use during pregnancy, but is is also recommended. It is
suggested to be used from conception to delivery, applied primarily to
the abdomen, breast, lower back and upper thighs (where it will tend to
prevent the skin from stretching). For the first 2 trimesters of pregnancy
(the first six months), use an average of one-half to three-quarters of
a teaspoon, 2-3 times a day. During the last trimester, apply one teaspoon
2-3 times a day. Discontinue at delivery and resume again at one-quarter
teaspoon twice per day beginning one month after delivery. Our natural
cream is also useful for post-partum depression which many women experience
after childbirth.
I
Always Get A Yeast Infection After I Take Antibiotics Or While I Am On
Birth Control Pill. I Have Heard That Hormones Aggravate Yeast Infections,
Is This True ?
Because of the general use of
antibiotics given for a variety of conditions without accompanying acidophilus,
Candida Albicans, the primary yeast fungus, has become a serious health
problem for many women (and men). Candida also aggravates premenstrual syndrome
(PMS). Natural progesterone supports all hormone activity in the body, so
it acts to strengthen the body's defense (immune) system. However, the synthetic
progestagens tend to weaken the immune system and in general should be avoided.
Our natural progesterone cream can be safely used because it supports the
immune system and thereby helps to correct the yeast fungus problems.
My
Hands And Other Joints Are Swollen And Painful. I Cannot Make A Fist Or
Grasp Anything Firmly. Will Your Cream Help ?
There are reports from people
(men and women) who experienced this problem. They claimed that after applying
the natural cream several times a day for five consecutive days and less
frequently thereafter, there was a noticeable reduction in swelling and
joint pain, and increased hand flexibility occurred.
Can
The Natural Progesterone Cream Be Used On Abrasions, Muscle Soreness,
Cuts And Skin Ulcers ?
This natural cream is reported
to alleviate aches and pains from cuts, bruises, lacerations and skin irritations.
It has been used to rapidly heal skin ulcers and in some cases has also
been reported to benefit skin graft operations. People who have muscle fatigue
have reported relief from rubbing the natural cream on the affected area.
Incidentally, there have been reports from pet owners that application of
the natural cream is also beneficial to animals with lacerations or skin
ulcers.
