Natural Progesterone, An Australian Mystery Story

If this wasn’t so serious, it would be a great work of fiction! This is a story about women’s health, hormones, HRT and natural progesterone cream. It is a true history of what happened when this product hit the streets in Australia!

Most women will be aware that in our modern era, hormones are not working as they should. Many suffer from constant mood swings, with no idea that it is caused by hormone imbalance. We husbands think that our women our just cranky, but often it is out of their control. They are not going mad, they simply have imbalanced hormones. Before I get on with the story, you might be interested to know how this all comes about!

What Causes Hormone Problems?

First, it is not a deficiency in Pregnant Mare’s Urine (premarin) the most likely solution your Doctor will suggest. A study of HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) was stopped after participants started to get major diseases at an alarming rate compared to the control group. Depsite this, HRT is still the preferred treatment for hormone imbalance!

There are two primary hormones governing the mood of women (and men). They are Estrogen and Progesterone. There is a delicate balance between these two. In normal circumstances, the body happily produces necessary Progesterone and Estrogen for good health. Unfortunately, these days we are exposed to a wide variety of external sources of Estrogen, leading to imbalance. It is little wonder that HRT is one of the world’s most prescribed medications! The principle culprits are Xenoestrogens, or estrogens from external sources.

Xenoestrogens – Nasty Artificial Oestrogens

Where do these come from? Unfortunately everywhere. Here is a short list!

• Petroleum Products
• Most Skin care
• Meat including Chickens
• Pesticides sprayed on Fruits and Vegies
• Household Cleaners
• Swimming Pool Chemicals
• Bottled Water (comes from the plastic bottles)
• Sunscreen
• Cosmetics
• Car Exhausts
• Plastic Bags

I think you get the picture. There are so many sources of artificial estrogen bombarding us every day that a woman’s supply of Progesterone is soon exhausted countering the effects of these toxins.

The Contraceptive Pill’s Contribution

The Pill is very similar to HRT in that it interferes with natural hormone production.It follows closely on the listing of HRT drugs under the same classification, which is logical, because the hormones in the Pill are very similar to the hormones in HRT. And consider this: When HRT use dropped by 68% between 2001 and 2003, breast cancer rates dropped by 11%, a decrease never before seen in breast cancer rates. According to the National Cancer Institute in the US, the drop in cancer rate can probably be attributed to the drop in HRT use. This, on its own, is probably enough reason to look for alternatives to the Pill and HRT! (Source 29th Annual SABC)

Getting Back To Our Story

Dr John Lee is recognized as possibly the world’s greatest authority on hormones. Following 30 years of medical practice he concluded that hormone related problems such as as mood swings, hot flushes, Oesteoporrosis, and many otherdisease conditions, stemmed from an Oestrogen/Progesterone imbalance caused by the above factors. AIM, the company that makes Barley Life and Herbal Fiberblend, created their Renewed Balance, a progesterone cream made according to Dr Lees strict guidelines.

A couple of brave women brought this product to Australia and started sharing it with women who were suffering from mood swings, Oesteporrosis and other hormone related illnesses. The effect was immediate. With a little dab of the cream they started feeling like humans again! The word spread rapidly and even Doctors like Dr Henry Stulzman from my local area started recommending the cream instead of HRT because it solved the problem better!

I joined AIM in December 1997, after hearing about Herbal Fiberblend. It was really an afterthought at the time, as I had just invested heavily in another business venture. I understood the benefits of colon cleansing from my earlier experience with Colonic Irrigations including owning a Colonic machine for a while.

Within 5 minutes my sponsor who was standing right beside me received a phone call. The TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) had just raided the AIM offices in Melbourne, and confiscated their entire stock of renewed balance. The Medical profession had organized to make it prescription only, and only to be recommended by a health professional. Women were furious! They were effectively cut off from Life Support! Husbands all over Australia prepared for the worst!

Now women were racing off the their GPs, begging for the cream and those who dispensed progesterone cream started receiving an ever increasing stream of desperate patients.

As one woman reports, “After 10 years on Premarin and Provera, I took the initiative to discontinue all synthetic hormones and try natural progesterone. My symptoms were less the first month, even less the second month, and the third month was a breeze! No symptoms at all. I didn’t retain water, cravings for sweets were less noticeable, breast problems were gone and, best of all, no sinus headaches”.

And from another woman, “I spent three years with migraine headaches, terrible aches in my pelvis, severe fatigue, sever memory loss and sometimes complete disorientation, terrific depression, and I had cold and flu-like symptoms constantly. I tried everything. I wasn’t until a friend of mine introduced me to natural progesterone that things changed. In one month every symptom went away. My life has changed in a big way. It’s a Godsend”.

“I have been using natural progesterone for the past year with some wonderful benefits, such as a more balanced emotional state, increased libido, painless periods, elimination of sore breasts and night sweats.

Does Dr Lee recommend Renewed Balance?

Well yes, and here is a portion of a letter written by him to AIM. Please note the proportions recommended which are a great starting point for those using the product.

From: John R. Lee, MD

“In my book, That Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause, the dosage recommendations (e.g. 1/4 tsp, etc.) refers to creams containing about 450-500 mg/ounce As you know, Renewed Balance contains 750 mg/ounce, or approximately 50% more progesterone. Thus, the book’s dosage recommendations are not correct when Renewed Balance is used.

“Because of this difference in progesterone concentration, Renewed Balance is not listed on page 271 of the latest printing of my book which contains a list of creams containing progesterone concentrations of 400-500 mg per ounce.

“However, as I have repeatedly stated, Renewed Balance is a good cream but the amount of cream to be used to obtain the progesterone dosages (15-20 mg/day) I recommend for the usual female with progesterone deficiency should be reduced proportionately”.

Remember, you can get this cream for personal use in Australia.
