Application of Moisturizing Cream
Natural progesterone is dissolved in a
moisturizing cream base containing aloe vera oil. It can be
applied to the face, hands, chest, abdomen, low back, and in
cases of osteoporosis, to the entire trabecular spine. The
cream is readily absorbed and leaves no trace after a few
minutes. During absorption, the cream bypasses the liver and
goes to specific receptor sites where progesterone is
needed. When the action is completed, residue then is
excreted from the body by the liver, so there are no toxic
effects. Absorption rates vary from person to person as does
the relative need for progesterone. Since progesterone is
an oil soluble molecule, it is absorbed into the body fat.
The body fat acts like a reservoir or sponge and soaks up
the progesterone. Thus, women who have much body fat may
need to take greater amounts of progesterone for it to work.
Skinny women may need to take less progesterone. After using
natural progesterone for a while, you will learn what feels
better. One sign that you are taking too much is that you
become too happy (emotionally elated) when taking
progesterone and when you stop taking progesterone you
become depressed. If this is the case, you may be taking too
much. Use whatever dose works for you!
Directions
Each woman is unique, so amount and timing
may be adjusted. Thoroughly cleanse skin, and then gently
massage cream into skin for 2 to 3 minutes until it is
thoroughly absorbed. The best places to do this are in the
thinner and softer skin areas, including the back of the
hands, inner arms, breasts, thighs, face, neck, or throat.
Progesterone is not needed during menstruation. The dosage
of cream can be reduced gradually as symptoms disappear.
Many women feel different in one to three cycles. During
pregnancy, many women find that applying 1/4 teaspoon of
natural progesterone cream daily will minimize stretch marks
and help keep the skin looking youthful.
For PMS
PMS affects over 25 million women. Once
considered to be "in a woman's head", PMS is now recognized
as a real health problem. PMS is a collection of over 150
reoccurring symptoms that usually appear between ovulation
and to the onset of menstruation, when levels of
progesterone are deficient and/or estrogen is dominant. PMS
appears to be a progesterone deficiency. Many of the
symptoms women suffer are influenced by the imbalance of
hormonal levels.
Until now, women had to endure PMS symptoms. The broad range
of PMS symptoms such as bloating, irritability, moodiness,
food cravings, crying, fatigue, depression, and anxiety
often are influenced by hormonal imbalance. Dr. K. Dalton,
who has successfully used progesterone therapy for over 30
years in England, reports complete relief of symptoms.
Many women experience relief of symptoms by applying 1/8 to
1/4 teaspoon from ovulation to the onset of menstruation -
14 days on, 14 days off.
For Menopause
Menopause affects over 40 million women.
Menopause is a biological event, signaling the termination
of fertility. Severe symptoms may be due to hormonal shifts,
ovarian decline and diminished estrogen levels. Common
symptoms of menopause are hot flashes, insomnia, fatigue,
irritability, anxiety, mood swings, and crying. Many women
experience relief of symptoms by applying 1/8 to 1/4
teaspoon - 21 days on, 7 days off. Try to remember
how your cycles were in the past and start during that
approximate time. If you can't remember, then try the first
of the month to the 21st, ect.
For Osteoporosis (Bone Loss After
Menopause)
We can not comment at this time.
For those with Fibrocystic Breast Disease
John
Lee, M.D. (he passed away) wrote that fibrocystic breasts usually reverts to
normal after two to three months of progesterone use. John
Lee, M.D. treated fibrocystic breasts with 40 mg/day of
natural progesterone for the first 2-3 months. After the
breasts revert to normal, then he maintains the patient on
20 mg/day. The ovary usually produces 20 mg/ of
progesterone. During pregnancy, the placenta at its peak
produces 400 mg/day of progesterone. Thus, there is a very
large therapeutic range for the use of progesterone. Natural
progesterone is quite safe to use in doses from 20 mg/day to
400 mg/day.
If
the cream or oil contains 900 mg/oz (and ours is 900 mg per
ounce - 2 oz container), and his patients use one ounces of
cream every month during the two weeks before menses, then
this comes out to about one (1/2) teaspoon per day. The
cream can be applied to any part of the skin with good
circulation. The area may be on the neck, chest, legs, arms,
thighs, palms, or soles of the feet. The cream is
applied once in the morning and once before bedtime. Some
patients experience mild drowsiness after application of the
cream. If so, one application before bedtime is fine.
After
the fibrocystic breasts have reverted to normal, Dr. Lee
found that the patients can usually maintain cyst free
breasts on one half ounce of progesterone cream per month
(if the cream contains 900 mg of progesterone per ounce).
