Interestingly, the word progesterone is given its name because of its vital supportive role in gestation (Latin: gestare), a fact that sheds some insight into its importance in pregnancy and the reproductive process.
Modern science confirms that insight, as, of all female hormones, progesterone is the one most essential for conception and to the survival of the fertilized egg and the fetus throughout gestation. It is necessary for full-term pregnancy.
At ovulation, progesterone levels rapidly rise from 2-3 mg/day to an average of 22-25 mg. per day, peaking as high as 30 mg/day. If fertilization...
What are fibroids?
Fibroid tumors are usually benign (non-cancerous) tumors found, most often, in the uterus of women in their 30's and 40's, although they occasionally develop on other organs which contain smooth muscle cells.
Fibroid tumors are solid tumors which are made of fibrous tissue, hence the name 'fibroid' tumor. Most often fibroids occur as multiple tumor masses which are slow-growing and often cause no symptoms.
The size of fibroids varies widely among women and some are so small that a microscope is required to see them. However some women experience a single large fibroid...

PMS encompasses as many as 150 different symptoms, although no woman experiences them all.
When one considers how common the symptoms of PMS are in "technologically advanced" cultures, (somewhere between 80% and 90% of all menstruating women between the ages of 20 and 50 experience regular symptoms of PMS), the conclusion might be drawn that women (and their mates) are destined to suffer.
However, because there are numerous cultures among whom this condition is essentially non-existent and unknown, diet, stress and xenoestrogens (foreign estrogens), often introduced in the form of contraceptives,...
A hysterectomy causes the female body to become immediately menopausal.
According to Dr. Stanley West, Chief Endocrinologists at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York, U.S., 90% of the hysterectomies performed in the United States each year are unnecessary surgery. According to Dr. John Lee those women who are told that they have "pre-cancerous" cells after a gynecological exam, need only supplement with a properly formulated natural progesterone cream and implement the known dietary/lifestyle modifications, and the so called "pre-cancerous" cells will diminish along with the need for surgery.

Osteoporosis & Natural Progesterone
Osteoporosis is a disorder in which progressive bone mass loss and demineralization increase ones risk of fracture. This condition permits us to observe how prescription progestins and estrogens compare to Natural Progesterone.
The standard medical protocol for osteoporosis is to use estrogen, (commonly synthesized from pregnant mare’s urine), in spite of the fact that the most authoritative medical textbooks do not support it.
The following article illustrates:
"Estrogens decrease bone resorption" but "associated with the decrease in bone resorption...

(Medroxyprogesterone Acetate)
Warning: The use of Medroxyprogesterone Acetate during the first four months of pregnancy is NOT recommended.
Progestational agents have been used beginning with the first trimester of pregnancy in an attempt to prevent habitual abortion. There is no adequate evidence that such use is effective when such drugs are given during the first four months of pregnancy. Furthermore, in the vast...
Progesterone is the single most important hormone made by the female body. It is critically important for the health of virtually every cell and organ of the body.
Because progesterone is a master hormone, it is used as a precursor for the production of other important hormones, such as estrogen and cortisone.
Progesterone production, however, can be suppressed by environmental antagonists, such as the hormones found in most commercially grown meats & dairy products, pesticides, petro-chemicals, prescription hormones and stress.
Informed women have restored progesterone levels...
