PROGESTERONE Health Benefits

BPH and Prostate Cancer

Natural PROGESTERONE against BPH and prostate Cancer

PROGESTERONE is a natural inhibitor of 5-alpha reductase - an enzyme needed to convert TESTOSTERONE to growth- stimulating DI-HYDROTESTOSTERONE (DHT). Not only is DHT implicated in BPH and prostate cancer, but this conversion also reduces TESTOSTERONE, thus lowering the TESTOSTERONE to estrogen ESTRADIOL ratio and creating an estrogen dominance situation.

Prostate Cancer

Of 10 men with prostate cancer, Harvard graduate Dr. John R. Lee has anecdotal reports of an almost 100% remission rate using natural PROGESTERONE - One man was being treated at Mayo Clinic for prostate cancer and it had spread to the bone. He began to use his wife's PROGESTERONE cream for his bones. After 6 months of PROGESTERONE cream applied to his skin, Mayo Clinic could find no evidence of any prostate cancer. Several men with prostate cancer have told Dr. Lee that their PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) level-decreased when they started using a daily dab of PROGESTERONE cream, and that they have had no progression of their prostate lesions. In addition to reducing conversion of TESTOSTERONE to DHT, PROGESTERONE's success may be due its promoting activation of the protective tumor suppressor gene p53: Google scholar search. Dr. Lee advocated a split daily dose of 10-12 mg of a low-concentration PROGESTERONE cream (~500mg/oz).

Saw palmetto is very effective in rapidly alleviating symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy and reducing prostate specific antigen (PSA) (a marker for prostate cancer) -   however, it may not be as effective as PROGESTERONE therapy. Saw palmetto and also nettle root are natural inhibitors of the 5-alpha reductase enzyme.
