Rating: Summary: Vital Information for Every Woman Review: Dr. Lee's book has saved the quality of my life since 1998. I was given birth control pills, Provera, diuretics to stop the swelling from Provera and the Pill. I thought I was going crazy.Then I found Dr. Lee's book and found a doctor to prescribe the natural progesterone and my symptoms went away. No more tears, bloating, swelling, sore breasts, angry episodes, night sweats, binges, hot flashes, or hopelessness. Dr. Lee's book helped me to understand that my body would not tolerate the pharmaceutical companies' progestines that were patented to replace the natural progesterone. It is a money issue and so many women suffer from using man-made progestins that are in the Pill and Provera. Use Dr. Lee's recommendations on Natural Progesterone.
Rating: Summary: A good starter look at bioidentical hormones Review: Dr. Lee was one of the first to reveal the difference between natural progesterone and progestins. Progestins are one of the synthetic ingredients in Prempro, the HRT drug used in the WHI studies that many women mistakenly think is the only way to replace hormones. Surprise! Hormones that are identical to the ones your body has less and less of as you age have been around for years, like the progesterone cream Dr. Lee recommends. They can't be patented, so drug companies don't push them like they do Premarin and Prempro. I personally also needed natural estrogen, like that in the Vivelle DOT patch and Estrace tablets, so you might want to do some reading beyond Dr. Lee. It's not "all in your head" and it affects your mind, body, and sex life, so get your hormones straight!
