BIG DRUG COMPANIES USING THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION IN AN ATTEMPT TO DESTROY COMPETITION FROM NATURAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPIES!!! 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.

WHEN TO APPLY AND HOW MUCH TO APPLY:

• It is recommended that you use Return to Eden natural progesterone cream from days 12-26 of you cycle to alleviate your symptoms.

• Day 1 is the first day bleeding. On day 12, begin using up to one teaspoon progesterone cream TWICE A DAY, and use through day 26, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. For an irregular cycle, use on days 12-26 and you should begin to have a regular cycle. This could take from 3 to 6 months.

• Return to Eden natural progesterone cream begins to work 20 minutes after application and lasts in the body for 8 hours; thus TWICE A DAY applications of progesterone cream are required. You may increase the progesterone cream dosage by adding up to one teaspoon in the middle of the day if you PMS symptoms get worse the week before your period. Discontinue use of the progesterone cream on day 26 of your cycle to allow your body to have a period. If you begin to bleed before day 26 of your cycle, stop the progesterone cream applications and start the cycle all over again. You should get regulated within 3 to 6 months.

• It is sometimes impossible to use natural progesterone cream with precision as you go through menopause because your body is trying to stop your period altogether. Continue to use Return to Eden natural progesterone cream with as much precision as is possible until your period subsides. If you have cramps with bleeding, you can apply Return to Eden natural progesterone cream directly to the cramping area for immediate relief. After a couple of months on Preserve, your cramps should subside.

HOW TO TAPER OFF SYNTHETIC ESTROGEN:

• Never go cold-turkey off your estrogen. Always taper off according to the recommended It is recommended that you taper off your estrogen over a 3 to 6 month period. If you are on estrogen and you begin to use Return to Eden natural progesterone cream, you should cut your dose in half the first month, cut it again the second month then again the third month. Example: If you take one pill (estrogen) every day, the first month you should take one pill every other day. The second month, take one pill every third day. The third month, take one pill every fourth day.

• You may choose to taper of your estrogen over six months. If so, take one pill every other day for two months, one pill every third day for two months and one pill every fourth day for two months. (If using a patch, substitute it above.)

• If taking a synthetic progestin (Provera, etc.), discontinue it when you start using Return to Eden natural progesterone cream. Provera is the synthetic form of natural progesterone and is taken up by the same receptor sites. The synthetic progesterone will overpower the natural progesterone.

• If you are on a combination pill of estrogen and progestin (PremPro; PremPhase etc.), you need to get a prescription for an estrogen only pill to use during your tapering process.

• When you have tapered off your estrogen over a three-month period, you may choose to test your hormone levels through a saliva test.
   

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

• Natural progesterone cream is not suggested for birth control. Progesterone cream can suppress ovulation if used prior to ovulation time. Progesterone cream can enhance conception if used starting on the first day of ovulation. If you are using the birth control pill, it is recommended that you use natural progesterone cream seven days prior to your period. You may get some relief of your PMS but women not on the pill obtain the best results.

• Although there have been no reports of significant side effects or health problems associated with natural progesterone cream, we encourage you to find a trusted health care provider to work with you as you use natural progesterone cream.

• There have been reports of incidental spotting, which may be associated with progesterone cream use. This is usually temporary. A physician should always check any persistent spotting or breakthrough bleeding. Because some PMS and Menopausal symptoms may indicate other conditions, please be sure to consult a health care provider if you ever experience headaches or progressive symptoms.

• Natural progesterone cream can potentially INCREASE THYROID ACTIVITY. If you are taking thyroid supplements, you should consult your health care provider and consider lowering the amount of thyroid supplementation you use.

• DOSAGE MAY VARY PER INDIVIDUAL. A woman typically produces 20 to 40 mg of progesterone per day in her ovaries during the luteal phase of her cycle. During pregnancy, the production of progesterone is taken over by the placenta. A woman in her third trimester of pregnancy produces up to 400 mg of progesterone per day.

• For vaginal dryness, you may apply part of your dosage of progesterone cream intra-vaginally.

•  For migraines, headaches or night sweats, you may use a dab of progesterone cream every 15 minutes for an hour.
