Guest guest Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 Ok Cynthia I've got her buying a 4 oz jar of progesterone cream from Source Natural. Theirs is 500mg of progesterone per ounce where as projest has only 400mg of progesterone per ounce. Their both good products my wife has been using one or the other for four years now with equal results. I work at a health food store that carries both these products and this girl is a cashier there. We get a 35% discount. I'm having her do a two month saturation period. CROSS YOUR FINGERS! I'll keep you posted. Thanks for all your help and bless you! ..... Noel ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 Dear Noel Saturation is the word. The recommended dosage of 1/4 tsp was much too little for me. I asked other women and started using a 1/2 tsp twice a day. I also found that rubbing into upper body was much more effective than lower body. I like under side of upper arms, neck and chest area. I started doing inner thigh as mentioned in Dr. Lee's 1st book but got no results. In his 2nd book he recommends what I learned from trial and error.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 Noel... >From my analysis of her chart, (the western chart) with the venus/mars conjunct square the Saturn, (yes, the moon is involved, but so is venus and mars) This "signature" would also match up to her presentation of Blood Stagnation in the Chong & Ren Meridians. Endometriosis clearly can have many different etiologies, from blood stagnation, coldness in the womb, liver qi stagnation, etc. etc. Of course, I would love to see what her tongue looks like and what her pulse feels like. But it seems like there are also some issues around the moon (mother) as well which may be contributing to her symptoms. I'm not a fan of Dr. Lee. (In fact, he has nothing to back up his findings. He has no research.) I think he over-prescribes the use of the progesterone creams. In my patients who have been diagnosed with endometriosis, it has shown up NOT to be a progesterone deficiency BUT a testosterone excess. I would be careful about "suggesting and recommending" the use of the progesterone cremes without having a saliva test to check her hormone levels first. She's young, only 19. Does her mother have a history of this as well?? Anyway, there are some great chinese raw herbal (tinctures, or capsules too) formulas to break up blood stagnation as well as ease the pain. Homeopathics work well too. You just need to determine what her temperature is. How does she present in Ayurvedic medicine?? Maybe you can provide more details to me in a private post. Two formulas come to mind,...Tao Hong Si Wu Tong or Warm the Mensus. But first, it has to be determined whether her stagnation is being caused by cold, or heat. So, tell me, what "signature" in her vedic chart points to this condition so I can compare.??

But it seems like there are also some issues around the moon (mother) as well which may be contributing to her symptoms. Her tongue is clean. Her superficial pulse is Vata, rhythm is regular, strength is strong. Her deep is the same as the superficial, Vata, regular & strong.I'm not a fan of Dr. Lee. (In fact, he has nothing to back up his findings. He has no research.) I have personally seen two woman reverse osteoporosis with a good quility progesterone cream and a good bone formula with ostivone in it I think he over-prescribes the use of the progesterone creams. In my patients who have been diagnosed with endometriosis, it has shown up NOT to be a progesterone deficiency BUT a testosterone excess. I would be careful about "suggesting and recommending" the use of the progesterone cremes without having a saliva test to check her hormone levels first. She real has nothing to lose at this point. If she doesn't pull out of this quickly she look at a hysterectomy in the very near future. She's young, only 19. Does her mother have a history of this as well?? Her mother has high blood pressure.Anyway, there are some great chinese raw herbal (tinctures, or capsules too) formulas to break up blood stagnation as well as ease the pain.

Two formulas come to mind,...Tao Hong Si Wu Tong or Warm the Mensus. But first, it has to be determined whether her stagnation is being caused by cold, or heat. I believe it started out as a Pitta condtion. And the doctors push it into a Vata condtion. I originally treated her for a Vata condtion fully expecting it to turn pitta, which it did. I now have her on a Vata/Pitta pacifying diet, oil massages And an herbal formula to treat her Srotas. (Ayurvedic Pathology)So, tell me, what "signature" in her vedic chart points to this condition so I can compare.??I have to say her signature is not as obvious as Case #1. But if a had to take a guest I would say her moon on the cusp of her eighth house is the heavy player here. I am sure there are other factrors here, but I am not a good enough astrologer to see It.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Dear Georgette Where can I read about the research done in these other areas? I found Dr. Lee's approach helpful but am very wired...vatta vatta vatta!...black kohash was horrible for me and I would be most interested in anything I could read about other approaches. BTW, I have been to a Chinese dr. for herbs and acupuncture but it did not help. It felt fine for a while then boom back to hyper woman. Apparently my system pulls strongly against itself. I was told that it is easier to cure cancer than to get my system to flow smoothly. I suspect that she is right so I am most interested in learning. cynthia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 Hi Cynthia... I'm not totally knocking Dr. Lee. He's like the Linda Goodman of HORMONE land. He has captured the attention of many women who are willing to take a pro-active role in their healing. And that's a good thing. But most of his writing is based upon his personal case studies. Not on clinical studies. And he's not always right. I don't know how old you are, but if you're mentioning black kohash,...then you must be perimenopausal. I am inspired by the work of Cristiane Northrup, M.D. She wrote several books on Women's Health. Her latest is "The Wisdom of Menopause" but her earlier one was titled..."Women's Bodies Women's Wisdom" (And she supports the role of astrology in healing!!) The other fellow that has inspired how I practice is Dr. Collins, N.D., author of "What's your Menopause Type". He has the references you're asking for and has gathered clinical data to back up his findings. It's interesting because he used to collect the data of thousands and thousands of "saliva tests" that came across his desk for years while working at Great Smokies Labs, and what he noticed were that there were 12 different types of menopause. Each with it's own peculiar set of signs and symptoms and each with it's own particular set of high risks. (One man's medicine is another man's poison.) For more information, I refer you to his website,...www.yourmenopausetype.com. Menopause was thought to be an estrogen deficiency, but in this country most of us are estrogen dominant due to many factors. So the one size fits all approach, meaning prescribe estrogen (even black cohosh) and all will be well, does not work for us anymore. Women can be a combination of estrogen excess or deficient, progesterone excess or deficient, or testosterone excess or deficient. So check out his work. It requires fine tuning. And by self medicating with hormones, one can actually throw off the balance of the other one's. That why I always recommend testing. If you're Chinese dr. did not help, then there is a strong possibility that he misdiagnosed you with the wrong pattern. I also often recommend that my patients get on a good "homeopathic constitutional remedy" as a foundation for the rest of their healing. is good, and Ayurvedic Herbs are great too!! Where one system might have a weak link, the other may be able to make up for it. Hope this helps!
