Women’s health issues today are often discussed using terms like PMS, estrogen, cancer, hot flashes, natural progesterone, acne, headaches, and menopause. These topics are hotly debated within the medical community. This article delves into the importance of natural hormone balance, particularly focusing on the role of natural progesterone in women's health.
International Health Distribution, the founders of IHDistribution.com, strongly advocate that achieving and maintaining health at any age hinges on natural hormone balance. Recently, all-natural progesterones have gained attention as a preferred solution for menopausal symptoms. Dr. John Lee, a pioneer in this field, authored the landmark book "Natural Progesterone: The Multiple Roles of a Remarkable Hormone." He discovered that progesterone is a major hormone produced throughout a woman's menstrual cycle, often in greater quantities than estrogen. His research confirmed that progesterone is the principal hormone in women, yet the current medical education system does not fully recognize its benefits.
Dr. Lee was a trailblazer in challenging the medical establishment's long-standing use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). He highlighted the risks associated with HRT years before they were confirmed by the Women's Health Initiative. Unfortunately, Dr. Lee passed away from a heart attack on October 17, 2003, at the age of 74.
Today, the debate continues between the use of synthetic estrogen and natural progesterone for alleviating menopausal symptoms and promoting general well-being. Transdermal progesterone creams, which are applied to the skin, can be purchased over the counter, while synthetic hormones require a prescription from a licensed physician.
Pharmaceutical lobbyists, the American Medical Association (AMA), and the broader medical/pharmaceutical complex staunchly support the use of conventional HRT. According to several studies, millions of women could benefit from natural hormone replacement, but they are often denied this option due to the influence of pharmaceutical companies and traditional medical practices.
A notable study by Dr. Susan Hendricks found that long-term use of estrogen and progestin significantly increased the risk of cancer, stroke, and heart attack. These hormones are commonly used to replace those no longer produced during menopause, which can trigger symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and insomnia. Dr. Hendricks' study included 16,608 women aged 50 to 79 across 40 hospitals nationwide.
Premarin, the most commonly prescribed HRT for menopausal women, is a blend of horse hormones that contains only small amounts of progesterone. While it was initially believed that Premarin prevented osteoporosis, recent studies suggest that its benefits may be due to the small amount of progesterone it contains. Despite these findings, the medical community has yet to fully endorse transdermal progesterone. However, its use is increasing among women outside the medical establishment, thanks to growing publicity.
Since the publication of Dr. Lee's book, more medical professionals have conducted rigorous studies and now acknowledge the benefits of natural progesterone creams. The debate over the terms progesterone, progestins, and natural progesterone continues, but more clarity is emerging.
