Women kick the PremPro habit and live to tell the tale.
In November 2006, research was released by cancer centers around the U.S. showing that breast cancer rates have dropped dramatically since 2002. Most doctors and researchers agree that the drop was created when millions of women suddenly stopped using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study group announced, in the summer of 2002, that HRT users had an increased risk of breast cancer, stroke and heart disease. Estimates are that as many as 50 percent of women using HRT stopped taking it within six months after the WHI results came out.
How large was the drop in breast cancer? It depends on who's reporting the statistics and how they're interpreting the numbers. Most of the data came from the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) cancer registry.

Older generation birth-control pills may have significantly increased breast cancer risk among women with a family history of the disease.
In a study of 426 families, investigators found that oral contraceptive use tripled breast cancer risk among women with sisters or mothers who had the disease.
The risk was confined to women who used "the pill" prior to 1975.
Since then, birth control pills have evolved to include lower doses of estrogen and progestin, which may make them safer in terms of breast cancer, researchers suggest, although this will likely not be definitively known for years to come.

Endometriosis is caused by the imbalance between too much oestrogen and a deficiency of progesterone.  This unopposed oestrogen results in many symptoms of oestrogen dominance including endometriosis.  Oestrogen switches on the BCL 2 gene which causes the cells to multiply uncontrollably, and if this message is not switched off by Progesterone (Progesterone switches off the BCL2 gene and switches on the P53 gene which gives the cells the right message and matures them), then these cells continue to multiply and go berserk .... hence endometriosis.
As oestrogen is the problem, it should be avoided.  Progesterone in quite high doses over a period of months will help to clear this condition.  It is THE most important factor.  it is the only antagonist to oestrogen, and is the only thing that will stop that message to the cells. If the endometriosis has become too thick on the endometrium, then a scrape will help clear those cells and taking progesterone will stop further cells forming.

This condition of oestrogen dominance comes about for a number of reasons

1.  the Xeno-oestrogens in the environment …. Mostly petrochemicals found in insecticides,  plastics, mineral oil- based creams, household products, oetrogen drugs such as the PILL and HRT, car fumes etc.-  in fact we now live in a “Sea of oestrogens”
 
2.   You may have been on The Pill or HRT
 
3.   As soon as you start an ovulatory cycles (when you stop ovulating, now around the average age of 34),  you produce NO progesterone in the cycle to balance the
