Hi,

I'm using the progesterone cream for symptoms of perimenopause and hormone imbalance throughout my body. Dr. Lee's premise is that estrogen dominance (rather than lack) is the true trouble for many women with hormonal difficulties, and that balancing progesterone, which opposes and balances estrogen, is the key to re-righting the system.

I was told about it by many people on this board, and by one of my best friends. But I didn't look into it because I'm not at menopause yet. However, hormonal imbalances can occur at any age. Well, this is my third cycle on the natural progesterone cream, and the chages have been enormous. So, I recommend the book, and I've got my post-menopausal Mom on the cream (and slowly coming off Premarin), to great effect. Dr. Lee's also got a new book out called, "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Peri-Menopause."

And, of course, both my Mom and I are on our O diets with total compliance, as well as balancing with the Zone, exercising regularly, doing our supplements, and adding in some principles of Ayurveda and the Chinese Medicine understanding of the Five Elements. Seems like a lot, but we're having a gas--'cause we got energy now!! We were both slowly dying before, I can tell you!

So, there you go.
