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!)

The follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level
measurement is a good - though not completely accurate - indicator
of perimenopause and the need to begin treatment. Increased FSH
level measurements can help women understand experienced symptoms
like fatigue, headache, insomnia, hot flashes and mood swings.
As women age and begin perimenopause, the
ovaries gradually make less estrogen and the FSH level increases.
The FSH level begins to rise at about age 30 and the FSH level
continues to increase during perimenopause. The FSH level at that
time may also fluctuate erratically, ranging from a level consistent
with postmenopausal range and falling again to the range typical of
young fertile women.
It is because of these frequently changing FSH
level that place the FSH level measurement as an unreliable marker
of infertility. Ovulation - and potential fertility - can still take
place sporadically for up to one year after the FSH level
measurement places a woman in menopause.
Though women should not rely completely on an
FSH level to determine whether or not they are still fertile, the
FSH level measurement can indicate a time to begin treatment in
perimenopause.
Women at the beginning of perimenopause
looking for the right treatment must weigh all options before
deciding which perimenopause treatment is best for them. Finding a
perimenopause treatment for symptoms must be balanced by the
long-term safety of the perimenopause treatment they select.
- Alternative and complementary perimenopause
treatments include herbal remedies, nutritional supplements,
exercise programs, diet modifications, homeopathy, acupuncture and
lifestyle changes. The Vaxa alternative perimenopause and menopause
treatment line of products contain a formula that incorporates
herbal blends, homeopathic remedies and nutritional support. These
products are safe and work without side effects.
- Synthetic hormone treatment for
perimenopause and menopause: Studies show that women choosing
synthetic hormone replacement therapy for perimenopause and
menopause treatment are at a greater risk for breast cancer, uterine
cancer, blood clots, heart disease and stroke, among numerous other
potentially life-threatening diseases, conditions and side effects.
- Combination hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
is a mixture of estrogen and progesterone, given on a cyclical
schedule to mimic a menstrual cycle. Women who still have a uterus
are typically prescribed the combination progesterone and estrogen
treatment.
- Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT) is
available in patches, tablet form, vaginal creams, ring inserts,
tablet inserts, implants and injections. With the significantly
increased occurrence of uterine cancer associated with the estrogen
only replacement therapy, this treatment is most commonly prescribed
to women who have undergone a hysterectomy.
