>Hi Barbara: Dr. Lee is retired and he made it clear to all of us in the
>lecture he doesn't endorse any "drug companies" but has listed in his
>book the creams/companies that meet his requirements, as well as where
>you can get the saliva tests. I highly suggest his book because it's
>only around $14 and the info explains stuff so well. I bought my
>progesterone cream from GNC. It's called Progestone 900, $30 for a 2oz
>jar. One thing, make sure the cream you buy doesn't contain any DHEA.
>Since I'm premenopausal, I started the cream on Day 12 and will take it
>through Day 26-28. I follow his suggestions on dosage. The bottle
>instructions say use every day, but like I said, I follow his
>instructions (depending on whether you are premenopausal, menopausal or
>what the symptoms or problems are) because I trust what he says. He
>suggests splitting the dosage, so a little in the morning and a little
>in the evening. Balance is important. Too much natural progesterone
>isn't good either, although he stresses it is safe. He suggests taking
>three to five day breaks a month>
>List of Creams:
>Renewed Balance (208) 465-5116
>Natra-Gest and DermaGest (800) 822-3712
>GentleChanges (800) 267-4522
