‘NATURAL’ PROGESTERONE AS A ‘NATURAL’ ALTERNATIVE TO HRT
It is true that researches appear to demonstrate that progesterone cream has improved bone density among his patients who could not take oestrogen therapy. But his admirable desire to help those women who could not take HRT leaves a fundamental question mark over the results of his surveys since it means there is no ‘control’ group not taking progesterone whose results could be compared. The Natural Osteoporosis Society (NOS) marks its concern by stating that there has been ‘little validated scientific research into the effects of progesterone alone on bone density or fracture risk.’ NOS medical advisers do not recommend the use of ‘natural progesterone’ creams to prevent osteoporosis (or to counteract the effect of oestrogen in HRT products). Their recommendations for healthy bones include a well-balanced diet, regular exercise, no smoking and a minimal intake of alcohol. Dr Lee, the Californian physician, also made recommendations on exercise, diet and nutrient supplements as part of the treatment. It could well be that these factors, rather than the progesterone itself, were responsible for the improvement in his patients.
This is very important. My main fear is that the media hype about progesterone and the desire for easy solutions to a myriad of complaints are obscuring the real issues. Are we merely falling into the same trap that we did in the fifties and sixties when oestrogen was hailed as the wonder cure for menopausal women? First we try one hormone, and then another. First it was oestrogen. Now it’s progesterone. Both, I believe, are short-sighted short-term solutions which may have long-term negative effects. Surely the aim is to get our bodies back in balance naturally – and to allow our bodies to do this by themselves. By adding in any kind of direct hormone we are never addressing the fundamental cause of problems. If you stop the cream, you are back to square one: your body will not have become any healthier in the process.
There is the possibility too that supplying something from an outside source merely encourages the body to produce less of its own. This is known to happen when people are given the thyroid hormone thyroxin. Our bodies are extremely clever. Why produce something yourself when it is being supplied from the outside and somebody else can do the work! And can it be sensible for women to take progesterone supplements after the menopause when the body’s own production of the hormone stops quite naturally? Its fans talk of progesterone as the ‘missing’ hormone. But after a certain stage of our lives it’s not supposed to be there anyway.
‘Natural’ progesterone is being touted as a ‘natural’ alternative to HRT. But there is nothing natural or alternative about it. The theory behind it is the same as the theory behind HRT – that menopausal women are suffering from a hormone deficiency disorder, a modern complaint that has arisen because we are now living way beyond our reproductive years. That is how the medical establishment, when pressed, explains and justifies the case for hormone supplementation.
