Re: any advice?From: Victoria (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Jan 23 07:08:42 2003
Before you consider trying the progesterone creams, I made an investigation into them into a webpage: (http://nichollsvi.tripod.com/p_cream.html). The issues I mainly deal with are: 1) the FDA (regulatory body in America) and its legal stance on the products being in violation of current laws. 2) the lack of facts or science (validity) behind the product/theories taken from doctor comments, Medline, and other reliable medical science sites. There is no evidence to support that it is anything other than a placebo. 3) Other information, including a heavily promoted website that may or may not be stated with the product, where you become an 'associate' of, earning $ on books to 'get the most' out of progesterone creams (Letter I, #2). Always do thorough medical based research on anything you take that is given a reputation to alleviate, cure, treat or deal with a specific problem or problems. It may be in violation of the law, or there might be no evidence to support it. This is especially true for herbal remedies. www.quackwatch.com, http://www.quackfiles.com, http://quackbusters.quackfiles.com are good places to start to review all sorts of questionable health products and practices. For fairly reliable medical information, check out Medline, Medscape (www.medscape.com), and mdlinx.com, and of course, www.obgyn.net for medical research studies. Some of the journals can be searched, although BMJ is about the only one I know that is permanently free. New updates have been made to this page.
