| Prostate Cancer and
Progesterone Progesterone is a precursor to testosterone and the
corticosteriods, which means that the body uses progesterone to make these hormones.
Progesterone levels in men are lower than in women. Men typically continue to produce
normal testosterone and corticosteriods into there 70s and 80s.
The testicles in the male are equivalent to the ovaries in the female and the prostate
is the male equivalent of the female uterus; they originate from the same cells in the
embryo. So, we see the same hormonal effects in both the prostate and the uterus. There is
a large amount of evidence that exposure to xenohormones (petrochemical environmental
components) may play a significant role in recent declines in male sperm count, testicular
cancer, and prostate cancer. Application of small amounts of natural progesterone cream
for the reduction of enlarged prostates and reversal of prostate cancers, have shown
preliminary evidence in anecdotal reports that progesterone may also play an important
role in protecting the prostate gland in men.
A loss of testosterone in men may lead to osteoporosis. This may be prevented or
treated with natural progesterone. Progesterone has no feminizing effects and will
accomplish the same bone-building benefits as testosterone.
The use of natural progesterone cream is a safe and sensible supplementation, which
when used in the proper dosages, may well prevent or even reverse prostate cancer. |
