maureen - progesterone supplements and candida

[Guest guest]

Maureen - if your read up on progesterone you will see that both men

and women's bodies make progesterone - it's not a 'female' hormone

only. but of course it is produced in higher levels in women,

cyclically. men sometimes are prescribed progesterone as well.

Furthermore, the headlines you are speaking of linking hormones to

cancer are probably talking about pharmaceutical synthetics, not bio-

identical hormone supplements prescribed responsibly!

so many people are suffering needlessly from being prescribed

synthetic drugs, and not given natural supplement to help support the

immune and endocrine system etc.....
