Current hormone treatment for menopause, menstrual problems etc. is very confusing often leaving women in the dark about the safer natural alternatives.  
Doctor John Lee who researched the benefits of natural progesterone for over thirty years, first used it on women who could not take HRT because of breast cancer and soon observed that those being treated with natural progesterone were showing much better results than the ones on HRT and without the side effects or the risk of breast cancer.

He also saw the relief of many menstrual and menopausal problems such as breast and uterine cancer, fibrocystic breasts, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, depression, fatigue, allergies, backache, hair loss, memory loss and much more.   

The most important information he conveys to women is that there is an enormous difference between natural and synthetic hormones and that those which are bio-identical to our own are better for us.   

He also argues that natural progesterone may be the only hormone we need as it is the precursor to nearly all our other steroid hormones including oestrogen.   This makes a lot of sense when you realize that our progesterone gradually declines, usually from the age of thirty-five, dropping to just 5 per cent at the menopause, whilst oestrogen still remains quite high dropping only to around 40 per cent after the menopause.   Oestrogen, unlike progesterone still continues to be made in the fat and muscle cells throughout life and the fatter we are the more we make.   I found Dr. Lee’s book an excellent source of information covering everything related to most women’s hormonal problems from an early age to old age.

Many women are now seeking safer alternatives to HRT as a treatment for menopausal disorders.   And although there is plenty of excellent information on diet and nutrition to help these conditions, natural hormonal supplements really are in need of our serious attention and should be available on the NHS.  First because they work better than synthetic HRT, and secondly because they are actually far cheaper and safer.
