Natural Progesterone - why is it such a secret?

“Twenty years ago a doctor asked me why I wasn’t on progesterone and I responded, “nobody told me I should be.” Within 3-4 days of commencing progesterone cream, I felt so much better about myself. More confident; more in control of my life. I’ve been taking progesterone and feeling the benefits for twenty years without any side effects.

“During this time doctors tried to take me off the cream but I refused. I have suggested that maybe these doctors listen to the women who are taking progesterone and getting well. Many times I have shared my experience on progesterone cream with women but their doctors argue they don?t need it. Such a pity! I personally wouldn?t be without it.” — Marjorie Amyot, St Petersburg, Fl, USA.

Natural progesterone has been around since the 1940s. The late Dr John Lee bravely championed its use despite the medical fraternity’s inability to embrace his theories. Millions of women around the world continue to be eternally grateful to him having discovered the benefits of its use because of his indefatigable stance. Thank you, John.

So, why are doctors reluctant to prescribe it? Why do doctors refuse to honour a woman?s choice of natural progesterone? Why does mainstream medicine remain sceptical? Why IS it the world?s best kept secret?

Perhaps resistance it’s due largely to the lack of published clinical trials and scientific evidence made available to doctors on natural-to-the-body hormones like progesterone. So what’s hindering test trials that can change all this? Simply put, lack of funding. Pharmaceutical companies, in the interests of self-preservation, flatly refuse to inject millions and millions of dollars into research and development of a drug that cannot be ?owned? under a patent.

Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical industry is guilty of a massive campaign of mis-informationin regards to the less ‘natural’ hormone replacement therapy drugs they manufacture and push doctors to prescribe.

There is growing evidence that synthetic HRT is perhaps not all it’s cracked up to be. Clearly some medical claims are based on myth and not fact. The effect on heart disease is just one example. The dangers of synthetic HRT, especially on breast cancer, are only now being given any exposure as more and more women demand answers to their health questions.

Let’s not fool ourselves here. What is best for women’s health is NOT very high on the agenda. It’s about patents and profits, and chemically-altered drugs that ineptly replace our natural hormones. It’s about over-shadowing responsible information on hormone replacement therapy with test trials and data, in some cases funded by the multi-national pharmaceutical companies who manufacture these drugs.

Women globally are angered by this conspiracy. One has to ask why this information is buried so deep even the medical profession cannot find it?

As things now stand, women literally stumble upon natural progesterone by accident. And, in so doing, they struggle every step of the way to bring the world’s best kept secret to the light of day.

Women like us around the globe seek to break the bonds of limited choices in HRT and replace them with the freedom to be treated individually and more safely. For is it not a woman’s birthright to feel and celebrate her wholeness of mind, body and spirit?

Our Resource Library demonstrates, time and time again, why natural progesterone - our essence hormone, so vital to women’s hormonal health - is the world’s best kept secret.
