Hi Lori,
Thanks for answering this, I do know John Lee, I have one of his books, Ive
read umpteen books on hormonal balance only to be more confused. LOL. This
is great news, I will ponder again taking progesterone cream. Now youre
talking about cream from a compounding lab, not wild yam?
Cheers
Kate

Hi Kate!
Chasteberry is an ingredient on some of the natural progesterone creams.
But the answer isn't just getting rid of estrogen. It is very complicated
and I KNOW I won't do a very good job of explaining. The website I cited
(www.johnleemd.com) has an articles section.
Estrogen dominance will use up all the progesterone in your body. It is the
lack of progesterone that results in the breaking down of the sheath that
surrounds the nerves. Progesterone also works at promoting bone growth.
Estrogen *does* stop bone loss, but it is the progesterone that promotes the
growth.
Here is Dr. Lee's definition:
Estrogen Dominance
Estrogen dominance is a term coined by Dr. Lee in his first book on natural
progesterone. It describes a condition where a woman can have deficient,
normal or excessive estrogen, but has little or no progesterone to balance
its effects in the body. Even a woman with low estrogen levels can have
estrogen dominance symptoms if she doesn't have any progesterone.
So it is of utmost importance to get the progesterone too.
Lori
