In order to accurately evaluate the effects of estrogen and
Natural Progesterone, on Menopause, PMS,
Fertility, and Osteoporosis, it is necessary to identify the
Sources of these two primary female hormones.
Distinguishing safe and natural hormones from those that are foreign and
carcinogenic will allow women to make informed choices.
This information will help them to avoid the unwanted effects of low or no
progesterone (Estrogen Dominance) and the
subsequent unpleasant symptoms associated with Menopause & PMS, the
conditions of infertility & osteoporosis. Other major disorders, including
breast cancer, stroke, osteoporosis & heart disease have also been shown to
be the result of an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone.
Under the normal, healthy circumstances of a woman's monthly cycle, estrogen
should be the dominant hormone for the first two weeks and is balanced by
natural progesterone, which should be the dominant hormone for the latter two
weeks.
After a woman has entered menopause, whether it is due to age or surgery
(hysterectomy), female hormone production is reduced to approximately 40% to 60%
of the pre-menopausal levels. While the need for a proper balance of estrogen
and progesterone are important to all adult women, it is more critical at this
time and many informed women have chosen a properly formulated natural
progesterone cream.
Problems arise, however, when foreign estrogens and synthetic hormones are
introduced into the body that interfere with natural hormone production and
normal Thyroid Function and when natural
progesterone production is consequently suppressed by these environmental
antagonists.
What are the sources of foreign hormones or xeno-estrogens?
