Return to Eden Diosgenin (nicknamed Progesterone) Cream.
Do you remember our newsletter
last year detailing how Wyeth Pharmaceuticals was attempting to stop
compounding pharmacists from prescribing natural progesterone (diosgenin)
after their profits fell by more than 57% from $2.07 billion in 2003 to
$800 million in 2004 (after the WHI study had to be stopped)?
Well, now they have gone after
centers like ours making complaints to the Federal Trade Commission
(FTC). The FTC's position backed by the big pharmaceutical companies is
that Dr. John Lee, M.D.'s studies were not scientific and did not rise to
the standard of FDA and National Institutes of Health studies, and that
our claims about natural progesterone are false, unfair, deceptive,
misleading advertising in violation of the law..
(Please read
what Dr. Helen Pensanti M.D. has to say about this. Read on to how the study
was conducted.)
This is an attempt to force women into taking
unsafe proven cancer causing synthetic hormones using
your tax dollar to harass natural hormone suppliers. We here at the Women's
Menopause Health Center refuse to take away your choice of a healthy
alternative to Premarin, Prempro and the other dangerous drugs. We are
taking a stand against this heavy handed attempt to destroy competition. We
are going to fight for your choice of a healthy way to get through menopause
comfortably and safely.
(Ed. note: This was from our newsletter last year. The
continued harassment by the FTC has caused us to discontinue our wonderful
product. Do not be forced
into taking something that can kill you. You may purchase safe
progesterone cream at your local health food store, or find it a lot less
expensively on line at places like ebay and yahoo stores.
Do not let these heavy handed tactics destroy your health!)

Hot flashes, or hot flushes, are the commonest
menopause symptom reported. Although hot flashes are experienced by
many women -- around 70-80% of those in menopause -- not every woman
in menopause experiences hot flashes. It is believed that the
reduction in estrogen level that the menopause brings is the main
factor in causing hot flashes.
A hot flash (flush) either starts at the chest or waist and moves up
or starts at the head and spreads down. Some women find that it
spreads to other parts of the body. Its duration is from a couple of
minutes up to as long as an hour.
Hot flashes are much more common in the USA and UK that in the Far
East.
What Can You Do For Hot Flashes (Flushes) Hot flashes, or flushes,
can be uncomfortable and inconvenient and where this is the case,
many women are willing to try just about any thing to relieve them.
The main approaches to coping with hot flashes are:
1. Drugs, especially ERT, or HRT
2. Herbs
3. Diet
4. Exercise, and
5. Rest
Many women try to avoid the hormone based drugs which are used to
treat hot flashes, ERT or HRT. Fortunately, a combination of the
other four methods helps the majority of women - if followed
closely.
The difficulty often is changing your habits to healthy ones.
If you will:
* Take several different herbs regularly -- such as agnus castus,
dong quai and red sage
* Modify your diet -- reduce starchy food, junk food and processed
foods; increase fresh foods especially fruit and vegetables and
especially raw
* Get vigorous exercise 3 times a week
* Chill out - spend time relaxing
... then in most cases hot flashes will reduce in 1-2 months.
Continue for 6 months for more long-lasting effects. An extra
benefit is that your general health will improve too.
