any knowledge of progesterone?

[Guest guest]

I don't know if any of you know this answer, but here goes:

what is the difference between Promentrium and natural progesterone

cream? I know that one is in pill form and the other is a

cream...but I actually am wondering about the delivery of it. Is

one better than the other and/or more unrealiable? I got to

thinking about hormones and whether Promentrium allows more control

over the amount recv'd by the body.....

Thanks for any input!

The difference is that when you swallow it in a pill form, you loose

about 80%. A big part of that goes through the liver, which breaks

it down in to various metabolites, which can be hard on the liver.

Some of the metabolites can be good for you also. That is why the

typical prometrium dose is about 200mg vs. just maybe 20mg for a

typical cream daily dose. Hormones taken by mouth can be hard on the

liver over long periods, most especially estrogens, which can cause

liver enzyme problems. Swallowed strogen, especially is hard on the

gallbladder and can result in it having to be removed.

So, in my opinion, I think that the creams are much safer because

the dose is much lower and you are not loosing the hormone to

digestive destruction and not disturbing your liver.

After reading this I'm glad, then, that I quit taking estrogen pills a couple of

months ago. I got the cream but haven't used it except once. I'm so lazy to be

putting it on twice a day & rubbing it everywhere they said to. Also it would

interefere with the massage oil I use before & after my bath at night. So it's a

problem. But I'm having all kinds of pesky hot flashes/sweats since I stopped

taking the pill. I think I've got liver problems too so not happy about that.

Have digestive problems for sure. Never had to take the progesterone tho,

thankfully.

Personally I think " they " know better & do it on purpose to weaken us to keep us

sick, numb, dumb & so weak tired & in pain we want to die. Also for depopulation

purposes. I'll check out the progesterone vs estrogen stuff online. Thanx for

the tip. Prolly what I need.

Did you know that, with Estrogen Dominance, hot flashes can also come from

this, which is totally opposite from what a lot of doctors say? I order my

own progesterone cream, and progesterone does MUCH MUCH more in the body,
