"I got your details from L after I sent her a query from one of my
customers regarding the safety of use of the Natpro (or other
progesterone creams for that matter). Thank you in advance for
taking the time to answer my query. My customer has had a
hysterectomy a few years ago and was advised against HRT by her
doctor for various reasons. She has also been diagnosed with
calcifications in her one breast. She is excited about using
progesterone cream after reading up on it, but was just not sure if
it would be okay for her to use it because of the aforementioned
medical history. Please can you advise accordingly?"
I reply...
"Dear M, I'm relieved your customers doc advised against the HRT,
the risks are too great to use it! And the progesterone is fine, no
adverse side affects, bar those when first starting. I would
suggest she starts with about 2.5ml/day, and to use it
continuously. It's perfectly safe to do so, it's only mimicking
pregnancy, when we make up to 50 times the amount of progesterone,
compared to our monthly cycle.
To begin with she might experience adverse symptoms which are:
nausea, mild depression, headaches, migraines, weight gain due to
water retention, tiredness, breast tenderness. This is caused by
progesterone activating the estrogen receptors, which in turn
causes the "estrogen dominance" symptoms above. Some women
experience it, others not at all. It's extremely safe to use, so
play around with the dose, she might find that the 2.5ml/day is not
enough to begin with.
I've listed some of the symptoms which can be caused by a
progesterone deficiency...
agitation, aggression, anger, anxiety-internal, outwardly calm,
backache, particularly premenstrually, binges, brown patches on
cheeks, brown spots on backs of hands, easily upset, quick to cry,
depression (worse at puberty, childbirth and menopause), fatigue,
excessive body hair on women, headaches, hypoglycaemia,
infertility/difficulty in falling pregnant, insecure, insomnia,
irrational fears, lack of self confidence and esteem, lethargy,
libido-low, loneliness, memory-poor and short term loss, menstrual
problems, irregular flow etc, migraines, mood swings, miscarriages,
period pains and/or ovulation cramps, pre-eclampsia,
procrastination, rebellious, early aging of skin, spaced out,
stress upsets emotional balance, suicidal thoughts or attempts,
tension, weight gain at puberty, childbirth and menopause
Progesterone is the most amazing hormone. I have papers on how it
prevents ovarian cancer, breast cancer, stress induced miscarriages
and pre-term birth. Emory University have been studying it for 20
years now and they have just announced in January this year that
they've found it helps in traumatic brain injury, they believe it
should help a stroke victim and someone with MS, and will be
carrying out studies on these. If you should like any of the above
papers I can send them to you. I've also attached a few on
hysterectomy. Do hope this helps. Please come back to me if you
have any more questions"
MT responds...
"Thank you so much for the fabulous reply. I have sent it on to my
customer and am sure she'll be just as happy with what you say. I
am still new to the whole progesterone scene, but am encouraged by
what L has told me and because of what I can read in your e-mail -
I'm quite excited by all its possibilities!"
And I answer...
"Dear M, Bless you for your kind words! I've been excited about
progesterone for 10 years now, after it helped me out of a bad
depression (plus 38 other awful symptoms!) at the onset of
peri-menopause. Do hope it helps your customer. And any time you
need help, advice, more info, please come back to me. When I first
started talking about progesterone, I was often confronted by
doctors saying there's no research on it and that it's a scam (some
still say this!). At that time there was no fast connection to the
internet so searching was difficult, now that there is I feel
overwhelmed by all the research!
For instance putting into Google Scholar 'progesterone and
hysterectomy' it came up with 8,940 research papers! The other day
I put in 'progesterone and stress' and there were 25,800 papers!
Not in a life time could I possibly get through them all. I think
the thing to remember is that progesterone is the oldest hormone
known, some authorities say 500 million years old, so our fat based
steroids are all 'descended' from it. Without progesterone we
wouldn't have estrogen, testosterone, cortisol and cortisone and a
whole host of others.
I've been thinking about the calcification of your customers breast
and feel her calcium/magnesium ratio is out of balance. Calcium
usually gets deposited in soft tissue if not enough magnesium is
present. She could have a hair analysis done to confirm this."
