Cindy, I am very glad that you have gotten relief using the natural progesterone cream (though I'm not sure what the gender of your health care providers has to do with anything). However, I have looked at some of Dr. Lee's claims on the internet, and have found some information that I and my colleagues here believe is actually false (such as his statements about the metabolism of estrogen and progesterone). Also, I would caution folks to look carefully at the natural progesterone product before buying--some contain only precursors that can't be converted in the body to progesterone, and the dose of progesterone varies widely from product to product.
