Top Ten Reasons Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Works
by Dr. Loretta Lanphier, ND, CN, HHP
Studies and research show natural hormone replacement therapy (or HRT) really works. By using natural progesterone you can reap the benefits in the following ways:
1. No side effects: It’s a natural hormone to the body with no undesirable side effects, when used as directed. Don’t mistake this with synthetic progestins, which are unnatural. Tests show they can cause harmful side effects including, partial loss of vision, birth defects, and breast cancer.
2. Alleviates symptoms: Natural progesterone alleviates symptoms typically associated with menopause and andropause.
3. Menopause comes naturally: Natural NRT allows you to experience menopause naturally—at your own pace—instead of artificial delays or interference with drugs like birth control pills.
4. Easy to test: Determining the need for HRT is easy with a simple saliva test that can be taken in the privacy of your own home.
5. Inexpensive: Natural progesterone can be bought over the counter in the United States, eliminating dependency upon a physician for prescriptions and keeping the costs down. Be aware that not all progesterone is created equal. Many of the recognized brands are full of fillers/chemicals that can build up in the body.
