Product Information
Natural progesterone was pushed under the carpet by drug companies anxious to patent their own synthetic progestins and these have formed many of the treatments for premenstrual syndrome, osteoporosis, fibroids, endometriosis and menopausal syndromes as well as being a constituent part of HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and the contraceptive pill. Yet research conducted over many years by Doctor Lee, together with his experiences with patients under his care, shows just how different natural progesterone is from these artificial versions. Not only are they chemically different, but women's bodies react differently to them. In addition, whereas the progestins carry warnings of numerous undesirable side-effects, the natural hormone is free of such ill effects. Many of women's health problems arise from unopposed oestrogen. Dr Lee examines critically the received wisdom about oestrogen and shows how at menopause women do not need more oestrogen but more progesterone. Readers should find this work a useful guide to hormones and women's health. It is of equal importance to health professionals, who may need to re-evaluate their treatment of patients, and to women who wish to understand more fully the workings of their bodies and improve their quality of life. Topics discussed include: menstrual cycles; bone marrow density; osteoporosis; HRT; cervical cancer; endometrial cancer; endometriosis; fibrocystic breasts; ovarian cysts; vaginitis; pelvic inflammatory disease; uterine fibroid tumour; and bone problems.Product Identifiers
