 Basic
Application methods for Endau
The following recommendation come from Dr. Lee's
book, audio and video tapes, conversations with him and personal
experience. Check these resources for further information. There are
probably as many ways to effectively use natural progesterone cream as there are
women - you can tailor it to fit your individual body and needs. The goal is to
get our bodies to normal cycling and function. Involve your doctor when
needed and try to find one who will work with you on this program. Take
responsibility to know your body better than anyone, use common sense and pay
attention. Some women have reported estrogen dominance symptoms for a week
or two after starting progesterone. This is usually caused by
sensitization of estrogen receptors and generally disappears within a few
weeks. Using more progesterone than recommended can shut down the
receptors.
- Endau can be applied to almost any area of
your body. Rotate the areas to which you apply it.
Absorptions is best where the skin is relatively thin and well supplied with
capillary blood flow, such as the abdomen, neck, upper, chest, breast, inner
arms and thighs and the palms of the hands and feet.
- Use anywhere from1/8 to 1/2 teaspoon of cream
per day. Symptom relief is the best way to tell if you are using
enough. Be patient and give it 3 to 4 months.
- Pre-menopausal women who are still flowing
should start anywhere from day 12 to day 15 of the first day of your
cycle. Start at day 15 if still ovulating. Use until day 26, as
it usually takes a couple of days off the cream to start flowing.
These women should use one 2 oz bottle in 2 - 3 months if applied
correctly. Dr. Lee believes that pre-menopausal women should not be
given estrogen. The fact that there is menstrual bleeding indicates no
estrogen deficiency.
- Menopausal women not taking hormone
replacement therapy (HRT) can apply the Endau for 14 - 21 days based upon a
calendar month. Do the same each month, skipping one week to account
for menstrual flow time. These women may use one bottle every 1 -
2 months.
- Menopausal women on HRT need to reduce their
dosage to half before starting the progesterone. DO THIS GRADUALLY by
cutting pills in half or skipping one day, then two, etc. Continue
lowering dosage by 1/2 every 2 - 3 months. If synthetic
progesterin is part of your hormone replacement therapy, you can go off that
part of the program abruptly and should do so before using the cream.
NOTE: With the use of progesterone cream, the need may decrease
for thyroid medication and high blood pressure medication. DO NOT GO
OFF THIS MEDICATION EXCEPT UNDER YOUR DOCTOR'S SUPERVISION.
- Estrogen therapy (estriol) may be indicated
for a minority of the women experiencing vaginal dryness or hot flashes that
don't go away with natural progesterone therapy. Dr. Lee suggest using
this for only 4 months o 1 year.
- For migraines, use Endau for 10 days before
your period. If you experience a headache, apply a small amount to the
back of the neck and across the forehead and temples every 3 - 4 hours until
symptoms subside.
- For cramping, rub a small amount on your
abdomen every 30 minutes.
- Lifestyle changes are important!
- avoid hydrogenated oils and most vegetable
oils
- eat whole unprocessed foods - organic
whenever possible
- eat meat sparingly - organic if possible
- cut down on dairy products or use low fat
and HORMONE FREE
- eat more fiber (Neways Feeling Good is an
excellent supplement)
- take vitamins/minerals
- exercise regularly
- eliminate sugars, alcohol, smoking,
caffeine
