Can progesterone be used to lower estradiol levels in men?

[Guest guest]

My wife's hormone doctor went to this conference

October, 2010 Advanced Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Medical

Conference

Among the notes she took were these

Heretofore, Anastrozole (Arimidex) 0.5 mg 1-3 x per week has been prescribed to

lower Estradiol. Arimidex is a breast cancer medication. Estrogen in the male

must not get too low as Estrogen is necessary for a man's brain, heart, and bone

A less toxic way to lower high Estrogen levels in men is to inhibit Aromatase

with the following: Chrysin (a bioflavinoid) 250 mg po BID or TD, Zinc Citrate

30 mg TID, Progesterone 5-10 mg TD, AND decrease belly fat. Those 12 month

pregnancies I see in men increase the conversion of Testosterone to Estradiol

What are the thoughts about using progesterone instead of Arimidex to lower high

estrogen levels - this would certainly be a less toxic method without all the

potential side effects
