Libido and Natural Progesterone
| The Female Body manufactures many types of
Oestrogen but only one Progesterone and Natural
Progesterone is the Source of Libido or Sex Drive in
Women! |
Sources of Natural Progesterone
Natural Progesterone is normally produced by the corpus
luteum after ovulation and balances the side effects of
otherwise unopposed oestrogen. Under the influences of dietary
antagonists, stress, anovulatory cycles (cessation of
ovulation), and menopause, Progesterone production ceases or is
suppressed and the effects of Oestrogen Dominance, can be
observed. Most women experience loss of libido, mood swings,
irritability, depression, headaches and otherwise unexplained
weight gain from the lack of Progesterone that is required for
proper thyroid function.
Natural Transdermal Progesterone Cream applied topically to
the fatty areas of the body such as the breasts, the buttocks,
the abdomen, etc., is stored in these fatty tissues for use as
required by the body and has been shown to reverse the effects
of Oestrogen Dominance listed below:

It is also important that we distinguish Natural Progesterone
from its counterparts in the drug industry - PROGESTINS.
Although these drugs are commonly referred to as Progesterone,
this is a misnomer.
In some ways they mimic the effects of Natural Progesterone
in the body, but in other important ways they gravely interfere
with Natural Progesterone and can create and exacerbate hormone
related health problems, and be a primary contributor to
Oestrogen Dominance.
Traditional Treatments
These have included tranquilizers, diuretics, dietary
changes, thyroid supplements, herbs, vitamins, exercise and
acupuncture. While these may provide some transitory easing of
symptoms, the underlying causes remain.
Successful Treatments
Dr. Joel T. Hargrove of Vanderbilt University Medical Center
USA has seen a 90% success rate in treating PMS (PMT) with oral
doses of natural progesterone.
An even higher rate of success has been reported by Dr John R
Lee MD using Transdermal Natural Progesterone in his practice
for more than 20 years.
The difference between the methods of application is that
oral progesterone requires 5-8 times the daily dose to obtain
the same results of Natural Progesterone Transdermal Cream.
Approximately 80% to 90% of oral progesterone is intercepted by
the liver and conjugated by glucuronic acid for excretion in the
bile.
In twenty years of clinical practice Dr. Lee has observed the
consistent benefits and safety of natural progesterone therapy.
He makes this statement: "Though not completely understood, PMS
(PMT), (and all of its complicating symptoms), most commonly
represents an individual reaction to oestrogen dominance,
secondary to relative progesterone deficiency. Appropriate
treatment requires correction of this hormone imbalance and the
most effective technique, at present, for achieving this is
transdermal supplemental Natural Progesterone Cream."
