Natural Hormone Balance and Your Health Why would you want to know… 

A woman’s body is a delicate balance of hormones that affect not only her ability to create life, but also affects her moods, her health and her libido.  Through synthetic chemicals in our daily lives and synthetic hormones we have damaged the natural hormone balance that protects our hearts, our minds, our bones, our breasts, our hair and skin, our moods, temperament and irritability, our libido and our fertility. 

What you should know… A woman’s body produces three estrogens (estriol, estrone and estradiol), progesterone, testosterone and cortical-steroids all out of the same molecular chasis – cholesterol.  The estrogens and progesterone are considered the sex hormones of the female.  These hormones are made in the ovaries and in the adrenal glands.  In addition, a woman produces estrogen in the fatty tissues of her body even when her ovaries are absent or non-producing.   In a healthy pre-menopausal woman, estrogen is the predominant in the first half of the month and progesterone in the last half of the month.  Within a day or two of her body’s absence of progesterone, she begins her monthly cycle.  The progesterone level in her body is always counterbalancing the effects of the estrogen.   A woman’s natural production of progesterone should be at a minimum of 24 mg per day and during pregnancy it can rise to as high as 400 mg per day.  In our culture where we have been manipulating our hormones with birth control pills for decades, we disturb our   bodies’ ability to produce these hormones and keep them in balance.  Birth control pills contain synthetic hormones that cause long-term damaging side effects, such as irreversible bone loss and pre-mature menopause. As a woman matures, her body’s ability to produce progesterone decreases dramatically.  By age 35 she is on the decline and by 50 her body is completed depleted of progesterone. Other hormones send messages to the ovaries to try to wake them up and produce progesterone.  These hormonal “lightning bolts” cause uncontrollable levels of discomfort in women; hot flashes, night sweats, aching feet and hands, lapses of memory, high levels of irritability, loss of libido, hair loss, weight gain…..just to name a few. Although she is also losing her ability to create estrogen, her environment continues feed her with estrogen from meats, eggs, and dairy products.  Chemicals surrounding her on a daily basis, plastics, pesticides, and cleaning substances, create estrogen-like effects on her body.   Without the balancing effects of the progesterone, the estrogen effects take control.  Here the results are even more devastating.  This imbalance or hormones in the body leads to breast cancer, heart disease, strokes, bone loss, other forms of cancer.  

What your doctors may tell you… Doctors are often hit with an onslaught of information from pharmaceutical companies that want them to be their agents for the sale of synthetic hormones.  Premarin has been the number one selling drug in the United States for the last five years.  Premarin (pregnant-mare’s-urine) is estrogen extracted from the urine of pregnant mares.  Few doctors explain to women that without balancing the estrogen in her body with progesterone she is exposing herself to breast cancer, uterine cancer and endometrial cancer; as well as increasing her risk of stroke by 35%.   

You can bet your life on this… Multiple studies have been conducted and published in reputable periodicals such as; the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, the British Medical Journal, American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association, Lancet, and the American Journal of Medicine.    The most notable study regarding the use of synthetic estrogens and progestins as Hormone Replacement Therapy is the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) which began in 1991 and included over 150,000 participants.  The study ended early as they found that women using synthetic estrogens (estradiol) only had an increased risk of stroke and deep vein thrombosis. They also ended the study for those women using synthetic estrogens and progestins because of the increased risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular events.  In addition, these women suffered an increased risk of dementia, endometrial cancer, gallbladder disease, elevated blood pressure, impaired liver function, increased serum triglycerides, hypercalcemia, hypothyroidism, fluid retention, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, migraines, diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus,  porphyria and impaired fertility. 

Our hearts (and strokes) … The WHI studies showed that women who used synthetic estrogens (estradiol) had an increased number of strokes, increased level of serum triglycerides and an increased incidence of deep vein thrombosis.  This strongly suggests that estrogen increased blood clotting.  Women who have an estrogen-dominant body system are subjecting themselves to deadly cardiovascular risks. However, the natural progesterone found in W2 promotes vascular tone and is an anticoagulant.  This natural antagonism with estrogen keeps the body balanced and protects it from heart disease and stroke.  Order the 4.4 oz bottle of W2 and use as directed.  

Our brains, our moods and our memory… Depression is experienced when our brains have a low level of noradrenalin.  Estrogen allows the brain an increased level of noradrenalin.  This is why the manufacturers of Premarin will provide you the encouragement by stating that this drug will improve your moods.  However, when the estrogen becomes dominant it increases the blood protein which binds to copper in your system.  Too much copper in the blood causes the zinc levels to drop in the blood and the brain.  An overload of copper causes exaggerated stress reactions, mood swings and depression.  Progesterone acts as an antagonist to estrogens and keeps the zinc and copper balanced in your system, thus balancing your moods and stress reactions.  The WHI studies showed that women who used estrogen (estradiol) only in their hormone replacement therapy had an increased incidence of dementia.  It is also not unusual for women experiencing menopause and post-menopause to suffer memory loss that is frustrating and embarrassing.   The natural progesterone found in W2 will relieve symptoms of depression, eliminate mood swings caused by copper imbalances, protect from dementia and improve your memory.  Order the 4.4 oz bottle of W2 and use as directed.  

Our bones… Osteoporosis has become a life threatening disease that is invading all women.  Not only does it dramatically effect a woman’s quality of life, if her bones diminish to a density level of .5 or less (1.0 being the score of a strong healthy bone), she may suffer spontaneous fractures from merely turning over in bed.   The natural progesterone found in W2, calcium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, phosphorous and magnesium together can slow down and even reverse the devastating effects of osteoporosis.  Order the 4.4 oz bottle of W2 and use as directed.   

Our breasts… Breast cancer is now second only to lung cancer in women over 35 in the United States.  The American Cancer Society states in their 2005 report that last year there were 212,930 newly reported cases and 40,870 deaths from breast cancer in the United States.  In England the rate of breast cancer has doubled over the last 30 years.  In the United States, the incidence of cases has not decreased since 1960 in spite of the 25 billion dollars spent on cancer research.   Cancer is initiated when the DNA is damaged by chemical toxins, radiation, viral attack and even severe nutritional imbalances.  Once the cell is damaged it loses its ability to differentiate itself and to regulate its growth.  It also looses its ability to die when its usefulness is over.  Estrogen promotes cell growth.  It is the estrogen in our system that promotes the proliferation of blood cells on the lining of the uterus.  It is also unopposed (or unbalanced) estrogen that promotes the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells.  Estradiol is the hormone that is most stimulating to the breast tissue.  The natural progesterone found in W2 promotes cell differentiation and regulates the usefulness of the cell. The natural progesterone found in W2 causes the cancer cell to stop growing and die because it has no usefulness.  Order the 4.4 oz bottle of W2 and use as directed.  

Our hair and skin… Every woman approaching menopause has seen changes in her hair and skin that are unflattering.  Her hair becomes more dry and brittle.  Her skin becomes thinner and her wrinkles deeper.  Perhaps, this diversion to the vain side of women, but none the less important for quality of life. The natural progesterone found in W2 increases the elasticity of your skin and plumps up the outer layers giving skin a glow.  Natural progesterone has been shown to be effective to treat seborrhea, rosacea, psoriasis, and keratoses. The increase in the androgen level also causes the hair loss.  Once we increase the natural progesterone level in our systems through the use of W2, we begin to see a change in our hair quality and retention. Order the 4.4 oz bottle of W2 and use as directed.   

Our weight management… Estrogen causes the body to retain water and increases our feelings of being bloated and heavy.  The natural progesterone found in W2 acts as a natural diuretic to reduce the water level between and within the cells. Even when progesterone diminishes, the body will continue to produce some level of steroid hormones.  One of these hormones is cortisol.  Cortisol is the body’s stress hormone.  It gears up the body to defend itself from attack.  It causes increased anxiety and which induces the body to collect molecules that could be used for fast energy.  When we don’t react by running away or expending energy that those collected resources are stored as fat.  Increasing the natural progesterone in your body with W2 will replace the excessive cortisol.  The progesterone will having calming effects on your body and will allow your body to release stored fat molecules. Order the 4.4 oz bottle of W2 and use as directed.   

Our libido… Hmmmm…need I say more.  Libido (sex drive) although mediated by the hormones is really a function of your brain.  (No jokes here, please.)  The natural progesterone found in W2 will gently increase your desire to for sexual intimacy.  Order the 4.4 oz bottle of W2 and use as directed.   

Our fertility… The Center for Disease control reports that the number of women between 15 and 44 who have an impaired ability to have children is 6.1 million.  Over 9 million women are using infertility services.   Testing for progesterone levels during a normal cycle will help women understand their bodies’ natural ability to produce this hormone.  Supplementation of the natural progesterone found in W2 will promote gestation during pregnancy.  Any use of this hormone during pregnancy should be done under the direction of a physician.  Order the 4.4 oz bottle of W2 and use as directed.   

Other cancers… In addition to breast cancer, women are fighting endometrial, uterine, ovarian, and vulva cancer at the rate of 321,000 cases each year resulting in 79,000 deaths.   Research shows that unopposed estradiol (Premarin) CAUSES endometrial cancer as well as promoting the onset of other cancers.   Why would your doctor give you a drug that causes cancer?  Order the 4.4 oz bottle of W2 and use as directed.   

From hair loss to cancer prevention and general ‘snake oil’ qualities….. W2 is a high quality, USP grade, 100% natural progesterone that I promise will improve the quality of your life or your money back.  Once you have enjoyed its benefits you will want to share it with all the women you care about.  You will want your daughters, sisters, aunts, friends and neighbors to know about it.  Share W2 with a friend by sending a sample and this information.  Set up your auto-ship, so you will never be without W2.  Order the 4.4 oz bottle of W2 and use as directed.   

Post-menopausal hormone balance… Through and after menopause, you will need to constantly replenish your body’s natural hormones if you want to lead an active high quality life.  W2 is simple and pleasant to use.  Since it has no added fragrances, it will not interfere with your favorite lotion or perfume.   You will quickly feel the benefits if you are currently having hot flashes or night sweats.  If you are past that phase, you will see more gradual changes in your memory, your general energy level, you skin quality and your ability to relax and sleep well.  Of course, you can not see your bones, but you can rest assured that your bones will improve as long as you provide the proper nutrients to build them. You will also want to supplement with a natural estrogen and herbal estrogens to maintain your female qualities.  The first and most important step is to begin W2 therapy daily. You want to stop using progesterone about three days per month.  Do not be surprised if you have some bleeding during this period.  Your body continues to produce estrogen in the fatty tissues of your body even after your ovaries are gone or have quit.  As long as estrogen is being produced you will continue to produce a blood layer in your uterus.  The natural progesterone found in W2 will assist your body in shedding this unwanted layer of blood.  Order the 4.4 oz bottle of W2 and use as directed.   

Pre-menopausal hormone balance… A low level supplementation of natural progesterone from days 15 to 25 of a women’s cycle will reduce PMS, pre-menstrual migraines, moodiness and ease cramping.  W2 has a 10-day pack of individual pakets for pre-menopausal women.  This is an easy way to track her supplementation.  A monthly re-order can be automatically shipped.  Order the ten-pack supply of daily proportioned pakets.  

Peri-menopausal hormone balance… As you approach menopause, you will begin to notice increased hair loss, deteriorating skin quality, loss of libido, general fatigue, increased irritability, and irregular blood spotting.  This will frequently begin to occur by age 38 or 40. Before you allow your doctor to diagnose you with hypothyroidism, take a hormone saliva test and see if your symptoms can be contributed to low progesterone.   Low progesterone in peri-menopausal women will mimic the symptoms of a inactive thyroid.  Doctors are eager to prescribed Synthroid when these see these symptoms in women between the ages of 35 and 50, however few will test her hormones.  The same doctor will tell you that you will have to take this drug all your life.  If you are 40 years old, you will be on Synthroid for maybe another 30 years.  Synthroid has a long history of problems with being reliably potent and stable.     Peri-menopausal women may start with the ten-pack supply, using the product from day 15 to day 25 of her cycle.  If this does not provide some relief, she will want to purchase the 4.4 oz bottle for daily use up to 20 days of the month.  

Synthetic hormone therapies… Premarin, Prempro, Femhart and a number of others will pop up from time to time.  Now doctors are beginning to warn their patients that these synthetics can cause cancer and heart disease.  The trade off of relieving menopausal symptoms versus the risk of cancer is heavily imbalanced.  However, since we tend to think have the “not me” attitude about cancer, we frequently take the quick short-term relief of the synthetic hormones.  

What is W2 – Women’s wisdom… W2 is an all-natural USP grade progesterone cream that will absorb through your skin and into your system within seconds.  There are no added fragrances, so you will not have to worry about allergies or interferences from your selected lotions and perfumes.   The 4.4 oz bottle can last up to two months but will most likely last one month for menopausal and post-menopausal women.  Monthly re-orders can be automatically shipped to your home. In addition, a small 1/8 oz paket is created for traveling or for pre-menopausal and peri-menopausal women.  This provides a pre-measured amount that can be used on a daily basis.  The ten-pack give ten days a month of supplementation is a simple, easy-to-use package. You may also send a sample to a friend along with this educational information in a printed booklet.  Every woman you care about should be on your list. 

W2 and men… Many men don’t want to admit it, but there is a time in their life when they suffer many of the same symptoms that women do in menopause.  The most prevalent of these is night sweats.  Men also have progesterone in their bodies that diminishes dramatically at about age 50.  The natural progesterone in W2 will relieve this problem completely.  One paket a day, using half of it at night and half of it in the morning is sufficient.   Order the monthly ten pack or thirty pack.  

Nutrition, exercise and water… Good health is not just about hormone balance.  If you don’t have sufficient nutrients, ample exercise and plenty of water, your body will not have the building blocks to keep you healthy.  A good high quality mineral and vitamin supplement, a multi-spectrum antioxidant and essential fatty acids are necessary every day for optimal health.  Our foods are processed, stored, frozen and depleted of nutritional value.  Even fresh fruit looses its nutritional value because of the hybrids created for longer shelf life, the travel time from  garden to grocery, and the pesticides used to protect the beauty of the fruit.
