Confused which form of hormone replacement therapy you should use?
These days anyway, most women are confronted with the question of hormone replacement therapy whether it be a young girl prescribed the Contraceptive Pill to control period problems, cyclic pain, acne or contraception, or whether it’s a woman being prescribed synthetic HRT to treat perimenopausal or post menopausal symptoms.
The most important thing to remember here is that you have options. That the decision is entirely up to you, based on accurate information, your health requirements and lifestyle.
You need to conduct a little research - don’t accept everything you read or hear - and if hormone replacement therapy is a likely choice, think about natural-to-the-body forms of hormone replacement therapy that, if required, includes progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and the corticosteroids (the ’super’ anti-aging hormones). These bio-identical hormones are less imposing on the body and kinder on your liver.
We urge women not to blindly accept claims that one form of hormone replacement therapy, be it synthetic or natural, is your only choice. We suggest you do some research which is not at all difficult on the Internet.
There are stacks of publications available on this subject, many of which have been written by doctors and healthcare professionals who support alternative natural therapy or give a balanced view. Books we?ve found to be very informative and openly recommend can be found in the Resource Section of this Library.
New Age approach to HRT
- Use bio-identical hormones
- Get these hormones into the blood stream, bypassing the liver and gut
- Preserve the delicate balance of hormones, fine tune
- Individualise therapy to suit your weight, symptoms, bone density, blood profile, body type, age entering menopause
All the above share something in common. That hormones should be given in minimal doses. Their books imply, if not stating outright that synthetic HRT is perhaps overused and overdosed. The Natural-Progesterone-Advisory-Network.com website always endeavours to be as balanced and open as possible. In so doing, we have come to realise that all forms of HRT, if used widely and conservatively, have their place in women’s health.
Our fundamental focus is essentially natural progesterone. But we would not be telling women the full story if we failed to admit that there are other factors within a woman?s personal hormonal profile and health regime that need to be considered for her ultimate health and success in healing.
One needs to adopt a holistic approach rather than being biased towards any one treatment. We are constantly observing and broadening our knowledge such that what we publish today may be adjusted or expanded upon tomorrow as new information finds its way to our Network. We will always remain open to new findings and women’s experiences with natural progesterone.
We believe natural progesterone is quite an incredible and remarkable hormone, discovered by millions of women worldwide. Nonetheless, if any of these women fail to understand the benefits and the interplay of other aspects that can increase the capacity and functioning of this incredible hormone, then they are not getting the best out of their cream … or experiencing optimal health.
