Proferia, transdermal progesterone, is safe, natural and does not contain petroleum, lanolin or animal-derived substances.  Breast and endometrial cancer are two of the greatest fears, along with osteoporosis, that women face as they approach menopause.  These fears, under present circumstances, are well warranted.  However, they need not be.  Among many cancers, the cause is still unknown.  However, for breast and endometrial cancers, a great deal is known about it's major hormonal factors.  The mystery is, why hasn't this information permeated the halls of contemporary medicine?  The carcinogenic effects of unopposed estradiol, an estrogen, and the anti-cancer benefits of estriol and progesterone, are well established for these two cancers. Because  of its many benefits, it's great safety, and particularly its ability to oppose the carcinogenic effects of estrogen, natural progesterone deserves far more attention and application than generally given in the prevention and care of women's health problems today.

The foremost exponent of natural transdermal progesterone therapy for osteoporosis is California physician John R. Lee, M.D., who uses a skin cream containing progesterone derived from an extract of wild yam, which penetrates the skin safely and effectively.  Dr. Lee has published the results of his extensive clinical experience with progesterone skin cream in Lancet 1990 and others including the book Natural Progesterone: The Multiple Roles of a Remarkable Hormone.

In a study of 100 postmenopausal women, aged 38 to 83, many of whom had suffered one or more bone fractures and had lost height (common signs of osteoporosis), Dr. Lee reported that "97 of them showed 5% to 40% new bone formation within 6 to 48 months after using a wild yam progesterone cream.  Some women attained as much as 105% of the average bone density of a 35 year old.  It was common to see a 10% increase in bone density during the first 6 to 12 months of treatment, and an annual increase of 3% to 5% until stabilisation at the bone strength level of healthy 35 year olds". Dr. Lee added "the occurrence of osteoporotic bone fractures dropped to zero."

Healthy, well nourished follicle cells produce a healthy balance of estrogen and progesterone.  Follicle cell dysfunction from any cause, especially from nutritional deficiencies and or toxins will lead to progesterone deficiency and estrogen dominance.  Combined with elevated FSH and LH levels and hypothalamic hyperactivity., the net result of course is the gamut of hormone imbalance symptoms seen in perimenopausal women in doctors' offices on a daily basis.  The question now is --- what ought to (or can) be done about it?  The answer of course, is good nutrition, avoidance of toxins, and the proper supplementation, when indicated for hormone balance of trully natural progesterone, Proferia cream.  We all know what good nutrition means...fruit, more raw vegetables, raw nuts, grains, seeds, purified water and let's not forget positive thinking, rest and regular exercise.
