The benefits of natural progesterone cream - part 2

What are the benefits of using a usp natural progesterone cream?

Remember in my previous post you learnt that: Progesterone is the “mother of all hormones”. It is the raw material from which your body makes all other hormones. It is not simply a sex hormone as it is commonly assumed. If your body is overloaded with environmental estrogens and cannot produce enough progesterone to counteract and balance them – dis-ease is the result.


Progesterone is not an “alternative remedy”, it’s an essential need. If your body cannot produce enough progesterone of its own you need to help it by giving it what it needs to protect your health.


It has been shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that supplementing with usp natural progesterone cream raises progesterone levels and corrects these unchecked estrogens providing relief to a wide range of health issues.


In part 1 we discussed the pms, menopausal and weight loss benefits. Here, in part 2 we are looking at how natural progesterone helps prevent and protect against the more debilitating diseases.



Cancers


When unopposed estrogen is present in tissues that are sensitive to hormones such as the breasts, uterus and ovaries, these tissues can turn cancerous if the unopposed estrogen, is not balanced off with progesterone.


Natural Progesterone therefore:
  • Protects against breast cancer
  • Protects against ovarian cancer
  • Protects against endometrial cancer
It also protects against :
  • fibrocystic breasts
  • uterine fibroids
  • endometriosis

Heart disease

Natural progesterone protects you against heart disease by:

  • decreasing the risk of the coronary arteries going into spasm by relaxing them
  • normalizing blood clotting, which also protects against strokes
  • brings down high blood pressure by acting as a natural diuretic
  • increasing the body’s ability to burn fats for energy
  • protecting the integrity and function of the cell membranes
  • promoting better sleep and reducing stress
By contrast and contrary to popular opinion estrogen does not prevent heart disease. It causes salt and water to be retained and potassium and magnesium to be lost, thereby increasing blood pressure. Estrogen promotes fat synthesis and blood clots. Estrogen also accelerates the aging of collagen, weakening the walls of the arteries.

When the known actions of progesterone are reviewed, it is clear that many of its actions are also beneficial to the heart.



Arthritis & osteoporosis


Progesterone, is an extremely effective anti-inflammatory. This is because it is the precursor to cortisone, which is an excellent anti-inflammatory. It therefore:
  • helps to reduce arthritic pain. Rubbing progesterone cream directly onto arthritis affected joints has helped many sufferers.
With osteoporosis reaching epidemic levels in the West, and the prediction that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 8 men are likely to get it, it is not surprising that this has become a growing concern.

Natural progesterone helps to reverse the ravages of osteoporosis by:

  • Protecting against bone loss and hence osteoporosis
  • Improving new bone formation
  • Stimulating bone building responsible for Osteoporosis Reversal

Findings to support the fact:

Women using usp natural progesterone cream experienced an average 7 to 8 per cent bone-mass density increase in the first year, 4 to 5 per cent in the second year, and 3 to 4 per cent in the third year! Untreated women in this age category typically lose 1.5 per cent bone-mass density per year! These results have not been found with any other form of hormone replacement therapy or dietary supplementation!



Depression


Depression is a huge topic and, as with the other ailments mentioned already, it is on the increase, with woman suffering more than men.


Supplementation with Natural Progesterone helps to alleviate depression.


It does so by it’s ability to:

  • stabilize low blood sugar levels (hypoglycaemia)
  • ease stress by providing the raw material for the anti-stress hormones
  • by influencing the production of serotonin and dopamine
Depressed people have been found to have a higher incidence of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). Woman suffering from PMS and depression have also been found to have low levels of serotonin in their blood. Many depressions are triggered by the inability to cope with stressful situations such as a death or a life threatening disease.

Progesterone and depression are linked through progesterone's influence in the metabolism of serotonin and dopamine, both known to play a role in depression.



Post Natal Depression


This is caused by the sudden drop in progesterone once the placenta has come away.


Relief is provided by supplementing with Natural Progesterone for the first few days after child birth.


There are many factors involved in treating cases of depression - and hormonal imbalances should not be overlooked as one of them, since the balance of our hormones is vital to our mental health and stability. Very often supplementation with natural progesterone can help to turn depression around.



Thyroid

Natural progesterone therapy facilitates normal thyroid hormone action.


Dr. Lee has successfully treated people with a hypothyroid (under active thyroid) condition as well as people with hyperthyroidism (excessive production of the thyroid gland) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis with natural progesterone therapy.


Low thyroid activity causes low energy levels, cold intolerance and weight gain.

Excess thyroid activity induces higher energy levels, feeling too warm and weight loss.

Estrogen, progesterone and thyroid hormones are complementary. Estrogen tells the body to turn food into fat while thyroid and progesterone hormones tell the body to burn fat for energy. Thyroid hormone and estrogen balance each other's effects. If there is unopposed estrogen or estrogen dominance the thyroid may be unable to keep up.


A Doctor will often prescribe Thyroxin supplementation, but this accelerates bone loss which leads to osteoporosis, so a natural approach, as with natural progesterone, is a far better first line of defense.
