HOW DR. WILLLIAMS CURED THE PRESIDENT OF NICARAGUA’S OSTEOPOROSIS !
I first heard about Nicaraguan President Violeta de Chamorro’s severe problem with osteoporosis when she visited Washington D.C., states Dr. David Williams.
“she needed a special chair to get around in, because her bones were so brittle they would literally fracture if she put too much weight on them while walking.”
“Later when I visited Nicaragua on a research trip to study the natural healing remedies being used down there, I was told how severe her osteoporosis really was. Apparently the top medical authorities in th world had not been able to help her, “Dr Williams relates. That’s why I contacted her senior aide, and told him I knew of an all-natural product that would immensely help her osteoporosis. He asked me to send a sample of this product. “ When I returned to the states, I immediately shipped her an entire case of the natural progesterone cream that’s made from an extract from the Mexican yam. I knew this incredible all-natural product would help the President de Chamorro, because I had personally witnessed the amazing healing results achieved with it when used by other victims of severe osteoporosis.
“Several months later, I was extremely gratified to receive a personal letter of thanks from President de Chamorro. Translated from Spanish, it read:”
Nicaraguan President Violeta de
Chamorro’s personal letter of
Thanks to Dr. Williams.
“ Dear Dr. Williams:
I received your recent letter that you sent with the creams, and the interesting article that was published in regard to the progesterone.
Thank god my osteoporosis is now under control, and the application of your cream is of such great benefit. I sincerely appreciate your help on this matter. You have ny appreciation and esteem.
-Violeta de Chamorro”

(Excerpts from Natural Progesterone: The Multiple Roles of a Remarkable Hormone, by John R. Lee, M.D.)
In a woman’s normal healthy monthly cycle, oestrogen is the dominant hormone for approximately the first two weeks, balanced by progesterone which is the dominant hormone for the latter two weeks. When foreign oestrogens are introduced into this delicate balance, primarily through food and water, prescription hormones, household and exterior pollutants, progesterone production and utilisation are suppressed and have demonstrated the underlying cause of oestrogen-dominant symptoms such as PMT and Menopause and the conditions of infertility and osteoporosis.
A success rate of 90% has been experienced in the treatment of PMT / PMS for women of all ages including pre-menopausal and post-menopausal sufferers.:The classic symptoms of irritability, depression, hot flushes, panic, along with physical symptoms such as weight gain, backache, bloating, fatigue, and tender and swelling breasts it is claimed are all improved within 2-4 weeks, and usually disappear altogether after 3-4 months consistent use of the cream.
In a USA three-year study* of post-menopausal osteoporosis patients, women using Natural Progesterone Cream actually increased bone density by an average of 8% in the first year, by 4% in the second year and 2% in subsequent years, against the USA national average of 1.5% annual loss. (* Lee Dr J Osteoporosis Reversal: Role of Progesterone InternatClinNutrRev 1990; 10:384-391)
Natural Progesterone Cream is applied to the fatty areas of the body: lower abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs and breasts on a rotational basis. The cream is absorbed into the skin and is up to 10 times more effective than orally-taken doses since at least 90% of orally-taken progesterone is intercepted by the liver. Natural Progesterone combats the dominance of oestrogen in the second two weeks of the menstrual cycle when progesterone should be the dominant hormone.
Natural Progesterone
is a transdermal, liposome-based, hypo-allergenic premium quality natural moisturising cream containing Pharmaceutical Grade, unadulterated, Natural Progesterone extracted from plant saponins. The Cream is white, odour-free, light, non-oily, free from all common allergens, free from petro-chemicals and free from all animal by-products. It is easily absorbed into the skin through which the progesterone is transported to the fat cells, where stored until required by the body.
Natural Progesterone Cream
is a natural product. The Certified-Potency Natural Progesterone content (2.1%) has been carefully calculated so that those who suffer with the symptoms resulting from unopposed oestrogen can utilise the cream on a schedule which parallels their own body’s natural cycles of progesterone production. Natural Progesterone extracted from plant saponins within the finest quality natural moisturising cream bearing over 90 eighth- teaspoon applications and lasts about two months depending on symptoms dosage and progesterone levels prior to use.
Women of all ages
from puberty onwards who reduce their intake of known environmental suppressors to natural progesterone production and use a premium quality Natural Progesterone Cream, can restore an optimum healthy balance of oestrogen and progesterone and consequently enjoy a higher quality of life.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS - Did you know?
Where should I apply natural progesterone cream?
Natural progesterone in a moisturizing cream can be applied to the face, hands, chest, breast, inner arms, soles of feet, and in cases of osteoporosis, to the entire trabecular spine. The cream is readily absorbed and leaves no trace after a few minutes. During absorption the cream bypasses the liver and goes to specific receptor sites where progesterone is needed. When the action is completed, residue is then excreted from the body. Absorption rate varies from person to person as does the relative need for progesterone.
PLEASE NOTE: Everyone is different.
Some women require more progesterone cream to alleviate symptoms, while others can use less. For the first 3 months, use one 2 oz. jar per month. Then try cutting back on the amount of natural progesterone each month. If symptoms return, resume previous usage. It is important to stop using progesterone cream at least five days each month.
How do I know if I should use natural progesterone?
If you have PMS symptoms. PMS symptoms are those symptoms which occur consistently a week or 10 days before the period and stop with or shortly thereafter.
If you have Oestrogen Dominance Symptoms.These symptoms are water retention, breast swelling, fibrocystic breast, uterine fibroid, loss of libido, mood swings, depression, craving for sweets , and weight gain with fat deposited at hips and thighs.
If you have menopausal symptoms. Oestrogen continues to be produced from the fat in cells even after menopause; however, progesterone production virtually ends. Hot flashes are the most prominent symptoms of menopause.
Osteoporosis.Women over 50 years of age should use natural progesterone cream to prevent osteoporosis.
When do I use natural progesterone cream?,
If you are still menstruating, use one-fourth to one-half teaspoon of cream twice a day after ovulation (which is generally 12-14 days from the first day of menstrual flow) until day 26. You do not need natural progesterone while menstruating; however, if you experience menstrual cramps try rubbing a small amount of cream on the lower abdomen. For migraines, rub cream on back of your neck.
If you have menopausal symptoms and are still menstruating, use one-fourth to one-half teaspoon cream twice per day beginning with the 10th day from day one of menstruation until day 26. [After 3 months, start using cream 12-14 days from day 1 of menstruation until day 26.]
If you have menopausal symptoms and are not menstruating;have osteoporosis or for prevention of osteoporosis, use based on calendar month. Use one-fourth to one-half teaspoon twice per day beginning on the 8th day of each calendar month and continue for the remainder of the month.
What exactly is natural progesterone and how does it differ from synthetic progesterone?
Natural progesterone, a cholesterol derivative, comes from the Mexican yam or soybeans. It matches exactly the chemical formulation of the body's own progesterone and thus causes no side effects. Manufacturers of synthetic progesterone alter the chemical makeup of progesterone in order to create progestins. Progestins in their altered molecular structure may cause many side effects, such as birth defects or abortion, fluid retention, epilepsy, migraine, asthma, cardiac or kidney dysfunction and depression.
Can natural progesterone help with endometriosis or fibrocystic breast?
One common factor in both these conditions is a higher level of circulating oestrogen, indicating a hormonal imbalance. Progesterone-which helps to normalise all other endocrine hormonal activity in the body-may help to clear these conditions by helping to lower the level of oestrogen.
Do natural hormones help vaginal dryness
Vaginal dryness can occur in women of all ages for various reasons, but it is primarily present in post menopausal women. Natural hormones in a cream base can be used intravaginally and has been very successful in treating vaginal dryness and vulvar atrophy associated with ageing.
Should oestrogen be used without natural progesterone?
Definitely not. It is very important that natural progesterone be used with any form of oestrogen. Oestrogen without progesterone can cause endometrial and vaginal carcinomas. Oestrogen blocks thyroid production and causes water retention; and it can cause fibrocystic breast disease and even fibroid tumors and cysts in the ovary area.
Do I need a prescription for natural hormones?
No. Natural progesterone in a cream is technically a food product.
I am already taking hormones from my doctor why should I switch to natural hormones?
Natural hormones are simply an alternative to hormone replacement therapy. Synthetic progesterone (known as progestins) has many side effects, and synthetic oestrogen can be dangerous to your health, especially if taken without any progesterone. If someone is taking both synthetic oestrogen and progestins, a gradual step is to substitute natural progesterone cream; and gradually reduce the synthetic oestrogen. (Reduce oestrogen by one-half and continue to reduce over 90 days until discontinued use).
I'm post menopausal, will I start menstruating again if I use natural hormones?
Occasionally upon beginning use of natural hormone supplement, a post menopausal woman could experience some breakthrough bleeding, or a period. This is a perfectly normal response and is nothing to cause alarm. The progesterone is simply causing the body to rid itself of excess stored oestrogen, which can sometimes stimulate a uterine shedding-thus breakthrough bleeding. If this continues for longer than several months you should consult a physician.
I have facial hair, especially above my upper lip, that requires shaving occasionally.
What causes this?
This is a condition called hirsutism (defined as excessive growth of facial and body hair). It indicates that there is a hormonal imbalance between oestrogen, testosterone (the dominant male hormone) and progesterone. Progesterone acts as a regulator for the entire endocrine system. A woman who has the hirsute problem probably has PMS too. Both menopausal and menstruating women have reported that facial hair (and body hair) decreased or completely disappeared after three to six months of regular application of cream twice a day. Natural progesterone is needed to effect proper hormonal balance.
Is natural progesterone useful for hysterectomised, oophorectomised and menopausal women?
Yes. Many women experience hot flashes following premenopausal hysterectomy (removal of uterus) or oophorectomy (complete removal of ovaries) and in the beginning of the natural onset of menopause. The cream which contains natural progesterone is reported to be effective for relieving symptoms of hot flashes. Most women have reported a complete cessation of flushing within 3 to 8 weeks.
Is natural progesterone indicated for osteoporosis?
Many medical authorities tell female patients who are post-menopausal that osteoporosis is inevitable. A physician in Mill Valley California, John R Lee, has proven that this often repeated statement is simply untrue. The results of his ongoing clinical study with 100 women is noteworthy. All have experienced new bone density ranging from 5 to 40 percent for women who have used natural progesterone cream from 6 to 48 months. His results also indicated this therapy is successful even several decades after menopause. One of his patients, who is 82 years of age and has been using natural progesterone cream for four years, has a greater than 40 percent new bone density as proven by dualphoton absorpriometry. Dr. Lee has proven that osteoporosis is not only preventable, but is also reversible in most cases.
Can I use natural progesterone if there is family history of breast or uterine cancer?
Yes. Breast cancer and endometrial cancer occur in tissue sensitive to gonadal hormones. Unopposed oestrogen is the only known cause of endometrial cancer, though there may be other factors involved. Oestrogen, or at least one or more of the various Oestrogens, are thought to contribute to breast cancer. Progesterone balances the oestrogen level in the body, thus lessening the risk.
Can men use natural progesterone?
Men over 45 can use natural progesterone. One benefit is an increase in the libido. Progesterone is the precursor of testosterone. Testosterone can stimulate new bone formation, increasing bone density; a lack of it can cause osteoporosis. Older men with rheumatoid arthritis have reported relief from pain and swelling after rubbing natural progesterone in a cream base on their joints.
Are there any other benefits of natural progesterone use?
Additional benefits for women include: improved brain function, diminished muscular aches and pains, improvement of skin problems including acne, seborrhea, rosacea, psoriasis and keratoses, and improved sleep pattern.
Phytoestrogens - The Good Oestrogens
On the flip side of the xenoestrogen coin are the beneficial phytoestrogens. Found plentifully in the miracle soybean, phytoestrogens resemble the estrogens made in the human body. They have much milder growth-stimulating effects than any other estrogens. These phytochemicals attach to oestrogen receptors throughout the body, just as other estrogens do. They block other, more powerful—and potentially more dangerous and unbalancing—estrogens from binding to receptors and acting on cells.
Hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mental fogginess in those who don't fit the profile of the oestrogen dominant woman may be signs of oestrogen lack. Phytoestrogens gently boost oestrogenic activity in the body without the potent effects of estrogen replacement drugs. In other words: whether you have too much oestrogen or not enough, phytoestrogens are good for you.
Isoflavones are my favorite phytoestrogens. Research has shown that in addition to relieving menopausal symptoms, they support bone health and lower cholesterol. You can get 30 to 50 mg of soy isoflavones a day by including tofu, tempeh, or a high quality soy protein in your daily diet.
Whether you're premenopausal or menopausal, phytoestrogens can help bring about hormone balance. Skin creams containing phytoestrogens can provide a complement to progesterone cream in women who need some oestrogen balance. I recommend a cream containing about 6 mg of isoflavones per ¼ teaspoon, used daily. Because the action of the phytoestrogens is so mild, you can use a phytoestrogen cream every day of the month.

Application of Moisturising Cream
Natural progesterone is dissolved in a moisturizing cream base containing aloe vera oil. It can be applied to the face, hands, chest, abdomen, low back, and in cases of osteoporosis, to the entire trabecular spine. The cream is readily absorbed and leaves no trace after a few minutes. During absorption, the cream bypasses the liver and goes to specific receptor sites where progesterone is needed. When the action is completed, residue then is excreted from the body by the liver, so there are no toxic effects. Absorption rates vary from person to person as does the relative need for progesterone. Since progesterone is an oil soluble molecule, it is absorbed into the body fat. The body fat acts like a reservoir or sponge and soaks up the progesterone. Thus, women who have much body fat may need to take greater amounts of progesterone for it to work. Skinny women may need to take less progesterone. After using natural progesterone for a while, you will learn what feels better. One sign that you are taking too much is that you become too happy (emotionally elated) when taking progesterone and when you stop taking progesterone you become depressed. If this is the case, you may be taking too much. Use whatever dose works for you!
Directions
Each woman is unique, so amount and timing may be adjusted. Thoroughly cleanse skin, and then gently massage cream into skin for 2 to 3 minutes until it is thoroughly absorbed. The best places to do this are in the thinner and softer skin areas, including the back of the hands, inner arms, breasts, thighs, face, neck, or throat. Progesterone is not needed during menstruation. The dosage of cream can be reduced gradually as symptoms disappear. Many women feel different in one to three cycles. During pregnancy, many women find that applying 1/4 teaspoon of natural progesterone cream daily will minimize stretch marks and help keep the skin looking youthful.
For PMS
PMS affects over 25 million women. Once considered to be in a woman's head, PMS is now recognized as a real health problem. PMS is a collection of over 150 reoccurring symptoms that usually appear between ovulation and to the onset of menstruation, when levels of progesterone are deficient and/or estrogen is dominant. PMS appears to be a progesterone deficiency. Many of the symptoms women suffer are influenced by the imbalance of hormonal levels.
Until now, women had to endure PMS symptoms. The broad range of PMS symptoms such as bloating, irritability, moodiness, food cravings, crying, fatigue, depression, and anxiety often are influenced by hormonal imbalance. Dr. K. Dalton, who has successfully used progesterone therapy for over 30 years in England, reports complete relief of symptoms.
Many women experience relief of symptoms by applying 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon from ovulation to the onset of menstruation - 14 days on, 14 days off.
For Menopause
Menopause affects over 40 million women. Menopause is a biological event, signaling the termination of fertility. Severe symptoms may be due to hormonal shifts, ovarian decline and diminished estrogen levels. Common symptoms of menopause are hot flashes, insomnia, fatigue, irritability, anxiety, mood swings, and crying. Many women experience relief of symptoms by applying 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon - 21 days on, 7 days off. Try to remember how your cycles were in the past and start during that approximate time. If you can't remember, then try the first of the month to the 21st, ect.
For Osteoporosis (Bone Loss After Menopause)
Perhaps the most devastating side effect of menopause is loss of bone density. Hormonal changes after menopause accelerate bone loss in women so that by the age of 60, one in four women have osteoporosis severe enough to cause dowager's hump, bone pain, loss of height, spinal deformity, and an estimated 5 million spontaneous fractures in older Americans each year.
Progesterone, used in hormone replacement therapy,
is an essential supplement which restores osteoblast function. Dr. John Lee reported a 5% to 10% increase in bone mineral density in one year using a natural progesterone cream for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis.
To establish healthy bones, apply 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon once each day.
For those with Fibrocystic Breast Disease
John Lee, M.D. writes that fibrocystic breasts usually revert to normal after two to three months of progesterone use. John Lee, M.D. treats fibrocystic breasts with 40 mg/day of natural progesterone for the first 2-3 months. After the breasts revert to normal, then he maintains the patient on 20 mg/day. The ovary usually produces 20 mg/ of progesterone. During pregnancy, the placenta at its peak produces 400 mg/day of progesterone. Thus, there is a very large therapeutic range for the use of progesterone. Natural progesterone is quite safe to use in doses from 20 mg/day to 400 mg/day.
If the cream or oil contains 900 mg/oz (and ours is 900 mg per ounce - 2 oz container), and his patients use one ounces of cream every month during the two weeks before menses, then this comes out to about one (1/2) teaspoon per day. The cream can be applied to any part of the skin with good circulation. The area may be on the neck, chest, legs, arms, thighs, palms, or soles of the feet. The cream is applied once in the morning and once before bedtime. Some patients experience mild drowsiness after application of the cream. If so, one application before bedtime is fine.
After the fibrocystic breasts have reverted to normal, Dr. Lee finds that the patients can usually maintain cyst free breasts on one half ounce of progesterone cream per month (if the cream contains 900 mg of progesterone per ounce). See our natural progesterone cream to see how it fits exactly to these requirements!
