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 estrogen 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"
