One of the greatest tragedies is the great number of women who have suffered for years, month in and month out, with agonizing health problems, which are caused by an imbalance in their hormones. These range from the physical problems of migraine headaches, severe uterine cramps, painful breasts, water retention, easy weight gain, hot flashes, osteoporosis, broken hips and more than a dozen others, to the mental and emotional problems of hopelessness, frustration, irritability, extreme sensitivity, panic, PMS and many, many more.
Do you know what the real tragedy is? These women have already been to their well meaning but uninformed doctors to have these problems resolved. However, instead of having the problems relieved, they are almost always made worse! If you are a woman, you probably already know this from your own personal experience.
For many years I have witnessed women who have gone through this personal tragedy, often for years, only to have all these problems disappear almost overnight as soon as they start using natural progesterone. Both they and their husbands are eternally grateful. I have had more than one husband say to me, "Doc, I don't care what that stuff costs, don't ever let my wife run out of it! "
If such a simple solution to all these female problems exists, you are no doubt wondering why the medical profession has ignored it so long. Well, as Paul Harvey would say, "Here's the rest of the story."
THE MYSTERY OF FEMALE CHEMISTRY
From the earliest of times women have been given a special place of respect and reverence because of their ability to give birth to a new human life, something no man could do. A woman could bleed for a week every month, and yet remain healthy, something no man could do. This was a great mystery that lasted for tens of thousands of years.
There was also another mystery about the female. The seemingly unpredictable change in mood, emotions and health, which occurred throughout the month in many women. But not all women. Which only made the mystery all the more baffling.
Down through the ages, these feminine mysteries became the source of myths, legends, old wives tales, and even found their way into poems, stories and plays, as well as the pages of the Bible and the writings of Shakespeare! It was not until very, very recently that science has begun to reveal the truth and strip away the mystery.
DISCOVERING THE HORMONES
It wasn't until 1926 that the first of the female hormones was discovered. It was found in the urine of menstruating women. Since its level was found to fluctuate in rhythm with the monthly fertility cycle, it was named "estrogen". Which means "to generate estrus", the period of female fertility.
In 1929 the second major female hormone was isolated from the corpus luteum (yellow body), a small temporary gland created from the egg follicle within the ovary once the mature egg is released. Because this hormone was produced in abundant amounts from ovulation to menstruation, or if conception had taken place, in increasingly abundant amounts until the birth of a child, it was called "progesterone". Which means, "to promote gestation (pregnancy)". Please note, this is NOT the same as promoting ovulation, which makes pregnancy possible. This refers to keeping the pregnancy viable once it has occurred. Progesterone is a protective hormone for both mother and fetus.
