Interview with Dr John Lee:

 

So what does John Lee think about the situation in Australasia where

progesterone is now only available via a doctor's prescription pad?

 

'It shows that government regulators are easily influenced by the

pharmaceutical companies. Natural progesterone has been available for 40

years or more, there is no reason why this situation should exist. At

the same time as they make progesterone a prescription-only medicine

they are allowing all kinds of pharma-dangerous products to be sold over

the counter. The Australasians have such a profile as people who take

self responsibility in their lives, I can't believe that they are going

to buckle under this crazy situation.

 

Why does he think this situation has arisen?

 

'Because oestrogen prescriptions make a lot of money for pharmaceutical

companies. Oestrogen is being prescribed for women who don't need it -

they are even giving it to women who are still having their period! If

you've got enough oestrogen to have a period, then you've got more than

enough oestrogen for everything else that your body needs. By doing this

they are allowing women to get breast cancer, ovarian cancer,

endometrial cancer, fibrocystic breasts, gall bladder disease, thyroid

problems ... it is killing people off with strokes and heart attacks'.

 

How complicit does this make our government health authorities?

 

'I think women should have the right to read about and become educated

about hormone imbalance. I don't have a stand about whether they should

be able to access progesterone over the counter or by prescription, but

I do know that the Australasian system is a ruse; it's a way of

preventing women from getting access to progesterone. They pass a law

that progesterone is prescription only and then pharmaceutical reps tell

doctors not to prescribe it.

 

It's a way that oestrogen can maintain its monopoly in the hormone

business. It's a very misleading ruse. Any doctor who wants to look up

the references regarding progesterone can do so if they want to. I have

many doctors who call me about their wife, their mother, their

mother-in-law. They tell me they aren't doing well on oestrogen and ask

how they prescribe this progesterone stuff, yet they still will not use

progesterone in their practice because they are scared of what their

colleagues might think of them. I'm not saying progesterone will cure

everything, but it is one of the major factors being overlooked in

medicine today. Lee says he gets calls from doctors all over the world.

  

The calls from doctors are one of two kinds. One is where they describe

a patient's symptoms to me and think I might be able to help them. The

other type is 'My God, I read your book and it makes sense. I realise

everything you said makes sense and I tried it in my practice and it's

amazing. I don't know how I practiced medicine for 30 years without

understanding this'.

 

Does Lee get shocked about how brainwashed doctors have become over the

use of synthetic hormones?

 

'It's a matter of fact that when you've been running a practice long

enough you know a lot of the things they taught you at medical school

turn out to be not true. The half life of what they taught at medical

school used to be 10 or 15 years - the half life being the time it took

them to realise that half of what they taught you has now found out to

be wrong! That half life is now seven and a half years. Recently the

dean of the medical school says they know they got half the things wrong

.... but they don't know which half!! So it's kind of become a standing

joke, every doctor is comfortable with the fact that everything taught

at medical school is not quite right and learn to correct themselves.

But what happens now is that a good looking rep comes in from the

pharmaceutical company to tell them about the next new thing, the supply

comes in and they hand it out like pop corn. All they have heard about

the drug is some advertising literature.

 

But in this case the nice lady from the pharmaceutical company says you

can't believe those things that Dr Lee is saying and that if

progesterone was such a good product then they would have some

themselves. But companies can't patent it and make money, so they don't

like it and they don't want it to succeed'.

 

Has Lee come across any dangers, any side effects that have come to

light with nature identical progesterone cream?

 

'There are shysters out there who produce ground up wild yam and sell it

as progesterone. And there are shysters who make very high dose

progesterone creams. They believe that if a bit of progesterone does you

good, then even more will be better, but that's not true.

If there is a central observation Lee has from his years working in

progesterone, it is this: the power comes from the women themselves.

Women are responsible for spreading the information about progesterone.

Women catch on as soon as they read or hear about progesterone from

other women. They know very well what their doctor is doing is not the

right thing'.
