Hormone Replacement Therapy, Without a Downside
There is an old saying - "Truth is the daughter of Time." With the advent of the
Internet, that daughter, truth, is being born at a much faster pace. One of those truths
is the effectiveness of progesterone as an alternative to the synthetic hormone progestin.
Women have been the subjects of a long experiment by doctors and
pharmaceutical companies to alleviate the symptoms of female hormonal imbalances. So far
the results have received mixed reviews.
Hormone replacement therapy or "HRT" has been with us for years
in many forms. It's goal is to reduce the symptoms of (the natural or unnatural) hormonal
imbalances that happen to women as they age. Estrogen replacement has been the main focus
of most of the research.
Recently HRT and Estrogen Replacement therapy (ERT) have been under intense scrutiny. The
side effects can be as bad as the symptoms or worse, even life threatening. Most
treatments prescribed by doctors are interventionist - they do nothing more than suppress
symptoms, never getting to the causes. Worse, they often interfere with our bodies natural
methods for correcting imbalances. Women still need help, and it's here - in a natural
form.
A transdermal cream, PrimeTime Rx is now available which uses: - a plant extract
containing progesterone-like activity, plus a small amount of natural progesterone itself,
mixed with female specific herbs that have a powerful synergistic effect on women's
health.
Impressive evidence now demonstrates that progesterone, progesterone-like
extracts, and certain herbs can correct a deficiency, which is proving to be the real
cause of PMS, the real cause of menopausal symptoms, the real cause of osteoporosis,
progesterone deficiency and or progesterone/estrogen imbalances.
Progesterone refers to one specific hormone-the natural one manufactured
by your adrenal glands or ovaries. Progesterone is functionally related to (but not a
member of) the class of synthetic hormones called progestin. The distinction between
natural progesterone and synthetic progestin is extremely important. Doctors often confuse
the too. The difference is like comparing leather to vinyl. Progesterone is the primary
building block of most of the steroid hormones produced by our bodies; synthetic progestin
is incapable of performing this function. Natural Progesterone has a wide range of
positive effects on your health; synthetic progestin has a wide range of side effects with
breast cancer being at the top of that list. To make matters worse, synthetic progestin
actually lowers women's production of natural progesterone, as does synthetic estrogen!
A low dose approach is wise considering how little hormone is needed to
make an impact. By adding important female specific herbs like Wild Yam, Black Cohash,
Siberian Ginseng, Chamomile and Burdock root to this transdermal formula, it's reported
women feel better overall, and, their skin looks fantastic! In addition, doctors are
starting to advise women to use HRT as a preventive measure against osteoporosis. This is
dangerous! As stated in Endocrine Reviews 1990, "Osteoporosis may be, in part, a
progesterone-deficiency disease". Remember that synthetic estrogen and progestin
lowers your progesterone levels. Progesterone stimulates new bone formation. That means
that this formula is coming at a very important moment in time. The formula was designed
based on recommendations made in Betty Kaman's book "Hormone Replacement Therapy Yes
or No" I consider this a must read for all women! The base cream uses only the
highest-grade ingredients. Over 1.5 million jars of this formula have sold so far and the
word is spreading fast. This product will help balance women's hormones and alleviate many
of the symptoms associated with those imbalances. Many women are reporting their skin is
looking better every day, and some say that facial wrinkles are disappearing! This is a
natural effect of proper progesterone levels.
Drug companies have overlooked progesterone for years, instead looking to
estrogen as the hormone to research and replace. Because estrogen dominance is the cause
of so many of the symptoms women experience, the pharmaceutical companies came out with
Progestin, a synthetic form of progesterone to balance the estrogen. (Note that synthetic
estrogen is a major contributor to progesterone deficiency!) There is now evidence that
progestin drugs like Provera, Delalutin, have there own set of side effects. But why don't
doctors prescribe natural progesterone? It's natural, low in cost and NO SIDE EFFECTS!
That's the problem. It's all natural and can't be patented by the drug companies for huge
profits. Hence, why would they want to spend the research dollars? Why would a board of
directors allocate millions of dollars to develop a product it couldn't patent or protect?
If a drug has side effects that would require yet another drug to counteract those side
effects, could that mean more profits for the drug companies?
You may ask, "why doesn't my doctor know more about this?" Most
continuing education for doctors is sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. Of course, they
mostly talk about their own products and downplay, mislead, or scare doctors and the
public about any alternatives.
It's becoming more difficult to keep information secret. The Internet and
the curiosity of millions looking for answers have brought alternatives to light. Now
armed with this information, mothers (and daughters) everywhere can ask more informed
questions and demand better research on products before blindly swallowing what is
prescribed by their doctors. Remember that "Truth is the daughter of Time."
Thank goodness that time has born this truth into the family of all women.
