A Safe Natural Alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy
By Lori Ramsey
Let's face it menopause is a natural occurrence in women. Menopause should
be an event that happens smoothly with little to no problems. But because
of the lack of proper nutrition and lifestyle, the poor quality of our
soil and other environmental factors we experience problems with our
endocrine system.
With the breaking news of the pitfalls of hormone replacement therapy
many women feel at a loss as to how to treat their symptoms of menopause and
how to ease through this difficult time.
Hormone replacement therapy at the forefront looked like a promising
resolve to treat millions of premenopausal and menopausal women. It looked
like the answer to the horrible disease osteoporosis and seemed to be a
"drug" therapy that would help to prevent heart disease and
certain cancers in women.
But the truth is that artificial hormones aren't beneficial to the
body.
They cause cancer, strokes and various other health problems.
The answer lies in a natural approach, a safe and side-effect
free approach that's been proven time and again to help ease and alleviate
the horrid symptoms and side-effects of menopause.
First let's go over the symptoms of menopause. Actually the symptoms of
menopause are not caused by menopause itself, but from a condition known
as an "estrogen dominance." When the female body approaches
menopause
the production of progesterone decreases or stops altogether.
When this happens the estrogen in the body dominates the endocrine
system, thus producing the very unpleasant symptoms that many
menopausal women experience.
Symptoms of estrogen dominance: Worse allergies, breast tenderness,
cervical dyslasia, thyroid symptoms such as being cold all the time,
decreased libido, depression, dry eyes, fat gain, fatigue, fibrocystic
breasts, gallbladder disease, hair loss, headaches, hypoglycemia,
scatterbrain, increased blood clotting and risk of strokes, infertility,
irregular menstrual cycles, irritability, insomnia, memory loss,
miscarriages, mood swings, osteoporosis, bone loss, PMS, uterine cancer,
uterine fibroids, water retention. These are "some" of the
most common symptoms of estrogen dominance.
It's these symptoms that prompt women to see their physicians and find
remedies to alleviate the problems. For the past several decades the
number one prescription for this was hormone replacement therapy.
But you can relax and know that a safe and natural alternative to the
dangerous HRT is available and it's available over the counter.
Natural progesterone cream has long been used to fight and cure the
symptoms of estrogen dominance. A natural progesterone is far different
from its synthetic counter- part that's chemical based. Natural
progesterone is derived from Mexican wild yams and processed to exactly
match what our bodies produce.
Therefore it is easily assimilated into the body. It's the lack of
progesterone that causes the estrogen dominance and all the horrid
symptoms.
Using a natural progesterone cream may seem too easy or simple. You will
rarely find a "regular" medical physician who will agree or who
will even know the true
benefits of natural progesterone cream. It's the few who have stepped out
of their comfort zones of FDA approved drug therapy and researched the
natural means who have realized the profound benefits of such a natural
and safe alternative.
It's the insistence of many women, who researched this for themselves and
armed themselves with the information that confronted their
physicians and help to put them on the road to under-standing the
virtues of natural progesterone cream.
Man-made chemicals have never been better than what God put on this earth
naturally. Research this for yourself. Progesterone is the main hormone in
the body that regulates the entire endocrine system. Without it you
experience horrible side-effects.
Progesterone even helps to regulate estrogen and to keep the body's
production of estrogen in check. With the delicate system of checks and
balances our bodies need progesterone and especially during times such as
menopause.
Natural progesterone cream is the answer to a safe and natural alternative
to hormone replacement therapy. The cream, applied to various spots on the
body twice a day for several weeks each month help to alleviate all the
symptoms of estrogen dominance, helps to restore bone loss, helps to stop
osteoporosis and helps in preventing certain cancers and heart diseases.
This in conjunction with a proper diet and a
healthy lifestyle will increase your quality and enjoyment of life.
