Natural progesterone testimonial

To whom it may concern:

"I am sending this e-mail in regards to the complaint issued by the Wyeth Corporation on bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and to share my story of the benefits that I have received by using bio-identical replacement therapy.

When I first heard of Arbonne’s Prolief & Pytoprolief products my belief was that they were selling snake oil. I was actually disgusted at some of the claims that I heard these women making. I thought they were kooks and did not want to have anything to do with them.

About a year later I went for a check up with my doctor and was told I was hypothyroid and I needed to go on Synthroid. I am not one for wanting to take drugs for concern of side effects and having to remember to take them. My thyroid was at about 8.8 and my doctor indicated that I needed to take this drug for the rest of my life and that many women take it.

I went home rather disappointed that I now am going to have to start taking drug when I really did not have any symptoms that they described for being hypothyroid. I did not make sense to me. I happen to be talking to my friend about what happened at the doctor’s office. She suggested that I try Arbonne’s Phyto prolief, she had heard that it may help hypothyroidism. She also said I might want to consider the pharmaceutical drug Armor. She said she had heard better things about Armor than Synthroid. I thought about it and thought I would give the Phyto prolief a try for a few months. I thought I am feeling good now what harm could it do and what is the difference if I take Synthroid now or in 3 months. My thyroid has probably been out of wack for a while.

After about 2 months of using the Phyto Prolief my husband asked me what I was taking. I explained I was using the hormone cream and why. He said every month we have episodes right before your period and we have not any. Every month before my period I would either be really angry or sobbing in tears. I was convinced that my husband was the biggest jerk on the face of the earth. I told him every month we had to go to counseling to save our marriage. The next day or two I would get my period and I would forget all about what happened. I never realized that these episodes were a result of me getting PMS. My husband did though and knew that whenever they happened to just ride the storm out and I would be back to normal in a day or two. He is really sweet.

I was surprised and please to have realized that this cream was eliminating my PMS. Although I did not believe it was helping me with my thyroid problem. I decided I was going to go back to the doctor after only using the cream for two months, get my blood tested, be told my thyroid is out of wack still and they would have to up my dosage, come clean that I wasn’t taking the drug they had prescribed because I wanted to try something more natural, get in trouble with the doctor and finally start taking Synthroid.

To my surprise after I had my blood tested I received a call from the lab tech. She said your thyroid is fine, keep taking the Synthroid. When I told her I wasn’t her response was shock. She said what are you doing then? I told her I was using phyto prolief; she said her mother in-law uses for hot flashes and loves it. She then spoke to the doctor about what I was doing and the doctor said if I wanted to continue to use the cream that was ok just make sure I get my thyroid tested every 6 months.

I have had no negative side effects with the Prolief or Phyto Prolief. It has tremendously helped me with my hormones. Please do not take it off the market! When I take a prescription I always have the side effects that they say might happen. Those side effects are sometimes worse than the problem I was taking the drug for in the beginning. Now when people ask me about Arbonne’s hormone balancing cream I tell them to go to Dr. John Lee’s website, read it, talk to their doctor about it and if they want some I will order some for them. As a result many of them have me order it for them and have found relief with their periods, PMS, hot flashes, migraines and acne."
