How is Osteoporosis Diagnosed
It has always been a problem to diagnose osteoporosis early enough to prevent real damage. Most diagnostic methods are not definitive. Sophisticated tests, including radionuclide tracer methods, blood and urine calcium levels, and calcium balance determinations are not able to detect bone loss in early states. And conventional x rays can't diagnose it until it's too late bone loss isn't visible until about 35% of the mass has been lost. In fact, special technology must be used to diagnose osteoporosis in order to discover it before it has advanced to the point of possible fracture. You might ask your doctor if photon densitometry equipment is available in your area. As another alternative, a new mail service for physicians has been introduced that uses computers to analyze conventional x rays and evaluate bone loss.
Is Natural Progesterone indicated for osteoporosis?
Most medical authorities tell female patients who are post menopausal that osteoporosis is inevitable if they live long enough. A physician in Mill Valley, California has proven that this often repeated statement concerning osteoporosis is simply untrue. For the past 11 years, John Lee, MD., who made this statement, has advised female patients who are 60 years of age or older to use the natural progesterone cream. The results of his ongoing study with 68 women is noteworthy. All have experienced new bone density ranging from 5 to 40 percent for women who have been in the program from six to 48 months. Dr. Lee advises the use of magnesium, calcium and exogenous oestrogen for most hysterectomized/ oophorectomized women. Before using natural progesterone in his program, he prescribed only minerals and oestrogen without observing the remarkable results his patients now experience with a cream containing natural progesterone. During the past seven years of clinical experience with his osteoporotic group of patients, Dr. Lee has proven that osteoporosis is not only preventable, but is also reversible in most cases by appropriate supplementation with natural progesterone, and natural oestrogen in most cases. His therapeutic program utilizing a low dose oestrogen compound and transdermal progesterone cream has resulted in a significant increase of bone mineral density in both cortical bone (arm and leg) and trabeicular bone (spine and ribs). His results also indicate that his therapy is successful even several decades after menopause. One of his patients who is 82 years of age has been using natural progesterone treatment for four years has a greater than 40 percent new bone density as proven by dual photon absorptiometry (x ray like pictures of bone density). None of the 68 women in his therapeutic program has experienced adverse side effects. Osteoporosis is seen, therefore, to be not so much an age related idea as it is mainly a condition of hormone deficiency which is correctable with the use of natural progesterone, exogenous oestrogen replacement, and proper diet with exercise.
For osteoporosis apply no cream for the first 7 days of the month. From day 8 to the end of the month apply half the daily dose in the morning and half in the evening.
