PMS and
Natural Progesterone
Traditional Treatments
Traditional treatments have included tranquilizers,
diuretics, dietary changes, thyroid supplements, herbs,
vitamins, exercise and acupuncture. While these may provide some
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 PMT with oral doses
of natural progesterone. An even higher rate of success has been
reported by Dr. John R. Lee, M. D., using Transdermal Natural
Progesterone Cream in his practice for more than 17 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 Transdermal Progesterone Cream. Approximately
80% of oral progesterone is intercepted by the liver and
conjugated by glucuronic acid for excretion in the bile.
Additionally, oral progesterone will produce a sharp rise in
serum progesterone levels followed by a rapid drop in serum
levels within several hours.
In twenty years of clinical practice, seventeen recommending
transdermal natural progesterone, Dr. Lee has observed the
consistent benefits and safety of natural progesterone therapy.
He makes this statement:
| "Though not completely
understood, PMS (PMT) 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 supplemental Transdermal Natural Progesterone Cream" |
