A commonality of the worlds' industrialized societies is the prevalence of uterine fibroids, fibrocystic breast disease, breast and/or uterine cancer, PMT, pre-menopausal bone loss as well as a high incidence of post-menopausal osteoporosis.
Significantly, the common thread weaving its way through all of these conditions is oestrogen dominance, secondary to an insufficiency of progesterone. In cases where Oestrogen Replacement Therapy is elected to control hot flushes, natural oestriol is recommended usually for 1-3 months. This is a safe, non-cancer promoting oestrogen available by prescription. In most cases, however, oestriol is not needed when a sufficient amount of Natural Progesterone is available as it is the precursor (raw material) for other adrenal hormones, including all three forms of natural oestrogen.
By establishing a balance of these hormones through diet, stress management and Natural Progesterone supplementation, fluctuations of oestrogen and progesterone, the resultant hot flashes, night sweats and other symptoms of menopause are either significantly alleviated or completely eliminated
However, in a very few cases of post-menopausal women where hot flushes, night sweats and virginal dryness are not completely eliminated by Natural Progesterone, this indicates a deficiency of Oestrogen and Dr Lee recommends a temporary vaginal application of Natural Oestrogen Cream along with the usual application of Natural Progesterone Cream.
