In his book, "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause," Dr. Lee breaks down the adequate daily amount of natural progesterone USP to be "20 to 30 milligrams per day." He further writes, "let's say each two-ounce jar or tube of 3 percent (by volume) or 1.6 percent (by weight) progesterone cream contains 950 milligrams." This would mean that a two-ounce jar with 950 mg has forty-eight 1/4 teaspoon applications and each application would provide about 19.79 mg of progesterone.

Natural hormones are developed through DNA technology. Sterol analogues from certain plants (wild yam) are combined with specific bacteria (microbial fermentation) and the resulting hormone is bio-identical in chemical structure to the hormone produced by the human body.

Progesterone is fat-soluble and in the first couple months may be absorbed just into the body-fat. For this reason in the first two months of starting to use a natural progesterone cream you should double the application.

Synthetic progesterone (progestins) simply do not perform the same functions in the body. They can even lower your levels of progesterone. Natural progesterone is also a precursor to many other hormones in your body, so it is imperative that it be used in its natural form.

This is the question most frequently asked of Dr. John Lee during his more than 30 years of active clinical practice. To quote from Dr. Lee: "The medical-industrial complex refers to the close knit association of organized medicine with the pharmaceutical manufacturers and governmental medical regulatory agencies... The system taken together is neither necessarily corrupt nor evil, but, like any human agency, is subject to the frailties and faults of humankind.

U.S.P. is short for 'United States Pharmacopoeia'. This organization sets international standards of purity for products used in the manufacture of drugs and cosmetics.

In his book, Premenstrual Syndrome & You, Neils H. Lauersen, MD, from the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, states that natural progesterone may be helpful to maintain pregnancy. However, synthetic progestagens should not be used because they may adversely affect the developing fetus. No adverse effects on fetal development have been reported when natural progesterone was used during pregnancy. Dr.

Ounces refer to the total weight of down that is included in a comforter or pillow. Therefore, a 30 ounce down comforter is lighter than a 40 ounce. When maximum weight and fill power are combined, the quality of the product increases significantly.
