Top Ten Reasons Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (NHRT) Works
by Dr. Loretta Lanphier, ND, CN, HHP
Studies and research show natural HRT really works. By using
natural progesterone you can reap the benefits in the following
ways:
1.No side effects: It’s a natural hormone to the body with no
undesirable side effects, when used as directed. Don’t mistake
this with synthetic progestins, which are unnatural. Tests show
they can cause harmful side effects including, partial loss of
vision, birth defects, and breast cancer. 2.Alleviates symptoms:
Natural progesterone alleviates symptoms typically associated
with menopause and andropause. 3.Menopause comes naturally:
Natural NRT allows you to experience menopause naturally—at your
own pace—instead of artificial delays or interference with drugs
like birth control pills. 4.Easy to test: Determining the need
for HRT is easy with a simple saliva test that can be taken in
the privacy of your own home. 5.Inexpensive: Natural
progesterone can be bought over the counter in the United
States, eliminating dependency upon a physician for
prescriptions and keeping the costs down. Be aware that not all
progesterone is created equal. Many of the recognized brands are
full of fillers/chemicals that can build up in the body. 6.Safe:
It’s safe for women ages 9 to 99 years old. It’s safe for men
too and can be used as long as it is needed. The name
progesterone stands for pro-gestational hormone. It’s so safe
it’s given to pregnant women to prevent premature birth.
7.Relieves PMS: Natural progesterone can be used to relieve
premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms. You don’t have to suffer.
8.Produces well-being: It’s has been dubbed the “happy hormone.”
Most women notice a leveling off of their emotions when they get
their progesterone levels up to where they should be, especially
if they have been a victim of estrogen dominance. Some women
actually report a feeling of well-being or euphoria. 9.Reduces
stress: In experiments, progesterone was found to be the basic
hormone of adaptation and of resistance to stress. The adrenal
glands use it to produce their anti-stress hormones, and when
there is enough progesterone, they don’t have to produce the
potentially harmful cortisone. With progesterone deficiency, we
produce too much cortisone, and excessive cortisone causes
osteoporosis, aging of the skin, damage to brain cells, and the
accumulation of fat, especially on the back and abdomen. 10.You
have more freedom: Because natural progesterone is safe, hormone
levels can be tested at home, and is available over the counter,
you have the freedom to be proactive in your menopause care.
