natural progesterone, bringing it up

I'm bringing up this thread again and hoping for more input over time. This is still a subject that I find intriguing and so little info. Who else has read Dr. John Lee's books? (i.e. "What your Doctor may not tell you about breast cancer" ) Would love your opinions. Is there a chance he's right on much of what he claims or is he over the top with his push of NATURAL progesterone? I believe he did not see what we do with the necessity of chemo in certain instances, esp HER2, but I am still wondering about how natural progesterone could fit into this picture.

Is there anyone here that's taken it and believes it has possibly done harm? Pre diagnosis or after diagnosis?

Anyone used it with GOOD results? (either for the estrogen fluctuation symptoms, i.e. hot flashes or even to prevent bc or prevent reoccurance.

Not encouraging or pushing people to use w/o very careful thought, but I am interested in as much feedback as possible.

I welcome any input!

glad that Brenda is keeping me honest (grin) about my slights of the FDA and I take no offense whatsoever. (would welcome thoughts on Lee's comments on that subject also)

THanks,

Terri
