Stories of Fibrocystic Breast Disease and PMS Cures   Anecdotal Stories of Fibrocystic Breast Disease Cures Dr. Lee claims that he has never had a case in using progesterone on fibrocystic breast disease that was not positive. Here are two vignettes. by Elizabeth Smith, M.D. Arizona Daughter " On another occasion, I had consulted with an elderly lady about using natural progesterone for osteoporosis. In the course of our conversation, she asked about fibrocystic breasts. After doing so, I expressed surprise that she would be bothered by that problem because she had not used estrogen; at which point she said she planned to relay the information to her daughter in Arizona who was scheduled for bilateral mastectomies due to her severe fibrocystic breast problem. Six weeks later, after two cycles of natural progesterone, the daughter called me from Arizona and related that, much to her surgeon's surprise, the breast problem had cleared completely and surgery had been canceled." Feisty Lady "A feisty lady in her late '70's consulted with me about her advanced osteoporosis, having had several spinal compression fractures. She had previously avoided hormone therapy because of a long history of fibrocystic breasts prior to menopause. With natural progesterone applications, her BMD rose gratifyingly, her back pains disappeared, and she resumed normal activities such as hiking, boating, gardening, etc. Several years later, after I retired from active practice, she came under the care of a new doctor who convinced her that she should abandon progesterone and use estrogen instead. On reluctantly doing so, she soon developed painful fibrocystic breasts and her new doctor was now recommending bilateral mastectomy to avoid possible breast cancer. Upset at this turn of events, she called me to ask how she should respond to the doctor's advice. I told her to (1) immediately discontinue the estrogen and return to the progesterone that had done so well for her bones and had kept her breasts free of (2) obtain a mammogram to relieve her worry about breast cancer, and (3) tell the doctor he should have a bilateral orchiectomy to avoid possible prostate cancer. At this, she laughed heartily and promised to follow my advice completely. Back on natural progesterone, she has remained healthy and active to this date. I don't know if her doctor learned anything from the experience." Fibrocysts Gone! I'm a 33 yr old Hispanic female who 5 yrs ago had surgergy removing 2 fibrocysts that were causing me a lot of pain. My OB/GYN suggested I go this particular surgeon she recommended. The surgeon's recommendation was surgery to remove the fibrocysts. I now have a scar around my nipple that is a continuous reminder of the biggest mistake I have ever made due to lack of information and relying on physician's opinion. NEVER DID THEY MENTION THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY YOU. Several months ago, another fibrocyst formed in the same breast I had surgery on. I must have cried for a week and was depressed knowing I would have to have surgery again because this cyst was bigger & more painful. I kept ignoring it until I said to myself, "there's got to be another way to get rid of this". So, I researched the Internet and read and read. I'm so thankful to have found everything I needed to know about fibrocysts on your web site as well as the remedy for getting rid of cysts. I have only used 1 bottle of progesterone oil & I am so happy to say that my fibrocyst is GONE. COMPLETLY GONE!! I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU, I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR RESEARCH AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AVOIDING EXTREME ESTROGEN USE. [email protected] has graciously offered to talk to anyone about progesterone and fibrocystic breasts. My Fibrocysts Have Improved Also, I want to say that since I started Progestelle in June (it is now Nov. 2001), the fibrocysts in my breasts have improved. Sometimes they flare up if I eat too much chocolate/caffeine/estrogenic herbs, etc., but they are slowly shrinking.  I also feel that my disthymia/irritability have improved.  I  haven't lost any weight yet <sigh> but my MD says that's usually the last  thing to correct.  Your web site has been so valuable to me.  I've also stopped using all lotions/cosmetics containing paraben, boy has *that* been challenging, but well worth it, as I had ovarian cancer in 1988 and want to improve my chances against breast cancer as much as possible.   Thank you for being part of my solution. PMS Improved I wanted to provide you with the results of my first month usage. All I can really say is that I am truly amazed that I have found a product that delivers what it claims. I have been afflicted with PMS for years and after a month of modified diet and product changes I feel I am on the road to recovery and a more quality life. If it gets better through continued usage I can only tell you I have never felt better in my menstrual life as I do now. Thank you for your research and product. I have passed my success to my family and friends who also may suffer from the many side effects of hormone imbalance and hopefully have offered them a drink of water. Normal Again! I've started with the natural progesterone cream and love it! My depression is gone and in the past two weeks I've lost eight pounds. My carbohydrate and sweet cravings are gone. I have more energy. I have to mark my periods on the calendar for I don't get any pms symptoms. My question is why in the hell didn't I hear about this sooner? Are doctors really that ignorant that women have to go out and do their own research. I'm forty-two years old and wished I could have taken this at thirty. The only thing my body takes in is natural progesterone cream. No more drugs! Yeah! I have both books from Dr. Lee, but wish my message could be broadcasted to all the women out there who rely on their doctors. But then pharmaceuticals would be out of business for sure. My body has already paid a high price over the years due to being used as a guinea pig for doctors' ignorance and stupidity. Thank God for Dr. Lee and Dr. Northup. I'm back to normal. No More PMS! Dr. For three months now, I have been on the Natural Progesterone skin cream therapy and have been using paraben-free shampoo, conditioner, and make-up. The results have been nothing short of amazing! No more PMS! I have gone from what used to be a week or more of suffering every month to a virtually symptom-free premenstrual cycle. In addition, although my periods still run long (typically 8 or 9 days), my cycles have normalized from 25 days (prior to adopting your Natural Progesterone therapy) to a normal 28 to 29 day cycle. Natural Progesterone therapy is a miracle! Thank you for giving me my life back!! :)
