HORMONE HERESY 10/06/2010
 
An Excerpt from Oestrogen’s Deadly Truth, Part 1 By Sherrill Sellman

Women are misinformed about their hormones, to the detriment of their health, while drug companies reap huge profits at their expense.
 
………………..Enter Natural Progesterone
 
For the past 15 years, Dr Lee has conducted independent research into a natural, plant derived form of progesterone. His nonpharmaceutically-funded research presents a much broader understanding of a woman’s hormonal options and offers a totally safe, effective alternative that is free of all side effects. He has found that this natural hormone – used in conjunction with a good diet and lifestyle changes – is capable of eliminating much of the suffering associated both with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopause.

A nightmare of pain and disability for a healthy young woman.

This letter, originally published in the John R. Lee, M.D. Medical Letter, is from an articulate young woman we'll call Julie B. whose life fell apart after she received a series of Depo-Provera shots for birth control. Until she went to an astute chiropractor, she had no idea that the Depo-Provera was causing her symptoms, and neither did the many doctors she went to, in spite of the fact that backache and skin rash are known side effects. The supposed ease and convenience of this drug as a means of birth control seems to be particularly appealing to young women who want quick, easy solutions. They assume it is safe because their doctors will prescribe it. We suspect that many thousands of young women are suffering this way, and hope that Julie’s letter will be a wake-up call to both young women and their parents, to stay far away from this terrible drug.

HORMONES and RESEARCH: Progesterone and the Brain
Now even brain scientists agree that hormone imbalances are all in your head!
Brinton RD, Thompson RF et al, “Progesterone receptors: form and function in brain,” Front Neuroendocrinol 2008
May;29(2):313-39. Epub 2008 Feb 23.

Comments: Progesterone is the new darling of those who study brain chemistry. Research is coming out almost weekly showing how important progesterone is to brain function. Dr. Lee and I started reporting on progesterone and the brain a decade ago. Dr. Lee famously said that if anyone in his family had a brain injury, he would slather them with progesterone cream. You can imagine the derisive letters and phone calls he received from his colleagues for that statement!
