Progesterone Cream and Prostate Cancer

More than 10 years ago, Dr. John Lee wrote an article about the effects of estrogen dominance on cancers caused by hormonal imbalances. His studies, while mainly focused on the millions of women suffering from estrogen dominance, turned towards hormone related diseases suffered by men as well.
Hormonal imbalances can cause cancer in the reproductive organs. True. What most people don’t realize, however, is that men are just as likely to suffer from estrogen dominance as women. Therefore, high levels of estrogen can cause cancers, including prostate cancer, to develop.
Women use progesterone cream to control their estrogen levels, so why can’t men? They can. And after watching 6 of his former patients halt the progression of their prostate cancers after starting a progesterone cream regime, we’re left with an important question.
Why aren’t more men using progesterone cream?
In the past, doctors have assumed that removing the testicles (or castration) would lower testestosterone levels and, as such, slow down the progression of prostate cancer. Years later, Dr. Lee realized, through his research of studies done by other scientists, that the men who had been castrated had experienced slowed progression of their cancers not because of the decresaed levels of testosterone but because of decreased levels of estradiol (a form of estrogen).
As men age, their testosterone and progesterone levels fall and their estradiol levels increase, resulting in dangerous hormonal shifts that can (and do) result in cancer. Imagine how much easier it would be to prevent prostate cancer in men if we only did early hormone testing.
