PMT encompasses as many as 150 different
symptoms, although no woman experiences them all.
When one considers how common the symptoms
of PMT are in "technologically advanced" cultures,
(somewhere between 60% and 80% of all menstruating women
between the ages of 20 and 50 experience regular symptoms
of PMT), the conclusion might be drawn that women (and
their partners) are destined to suffer. However, because
there are numerous cultures among whom this condition
is essentially non-existent and unknown, diet, stress
and xenoestrogens (foreign oestrogens), often introduced
in the form of contraceptives, are all major contributors
to this disorder. The symptoms generally include all
or some combination of:
Irritability, Frustration, Anger Chronic Fatigue Depression/Loss of Esteem Mood Swings Panic Attacks Food Cravings Loss of Libido Irregular Periods/Bleeding Anger, Rage Bloating/Water Retention Weight Gain Muscle/Joint Pain Foggy Thinking Vertigo Acute Headaches (Migraines) Breast Swelling & Tenderness
As if the above symptoms are not enough,
secondary consequences usually result in impaired work
ability and strained interpersonal relationships.
Traditional Treatments
Traditional treatments have included tranquilizers,
diuretics, dietary changes, thyroid supplements, herbs,
vitamins, exercise and acupuncture. While these may
provide some easing of symptoms, the underlying causes
remain.
Successful Treatments
Dr. Joel T. Hargrove of Vanderbilt University
Medical Center USA has seen a 90% success rate in treating
PMT with oral doses of natural progesterone. An even
higher rate of success has been reported by Dr. John
R. Lee, M. D., using Transdermal Natural Progesterone
Cream in his practice for more than 17 years. The difference
between the methods of application is that oral progesterone
requires 5-8 times the daily dose to obtain the same
results of Transdermal Progesterone Cream. Approximately
80% of oral progesterone is intercepted by the liver
and conjugated by glucuronic acid for excretion in the
bile. Additionally, oral progesterone will produce a
sharp rise in serum progesterone levels followed by
a rapid drop in serum levels within several hours.
In thirty years of clinical practice,
seventeen recommending transdermal natural progesterone
cream, Dr. Lee has observed the consistent benefits
and safety of natural progesterone therapy. He makes
this statement:
"Though not completely understood,
PMS (PMT) most commonly represents an individual reaction
to estrogen dominance, secondary to relative progesterone
deficiency. Appropriate treatment requires correction
of this hormone imbalance and the most effective technique,
at present, for achieving this is supplemental Transdermal
Natural Progesterone Cream"
After reviewing the Serenity for Women
Natural Progesterone Cream formula, Dr. John R. Lee
MD retired gynecologist who has been a pioneer of Natural
Progesterone Therapy stated
" That's Perfect "
