I have read every book Dr Lee wrote including his very informative text books, if people actually read them they might have a different point of view, and honestly its what works for each individual women that is important. He did not say women should not use estrogen by the way.
Its nonsense to tell a woman that the regime that she is using ( if she chooses to share this knowledge) is not what she should be doing even if she is well and its working for her! Certainly HRT cause as many problems as it solves.
I have just read a sample on my kindle called "The Estrogen Errors: Why Progesterone is Better for Women's Health" and will be buying it, very expensive but just reading the introduction and first chapter, it is compelling!
We are all different as is said many times, some ladies don't have there ovaries, some pack up due to loss of blood supply, other do continue to trickle out post menopause hormones until at least the age of seventy, also we also all different in our chemical makeup, so different hormones and regimes will work or not work for us.
I use a tiny amount of estrogen and quite honesty if I leave my patch off I notice no difference, I also use a small dab of natural progesterone too, and notice I sleep better and feel more calm, this works for me! It might not be right for the next woman, but what is important is to keep an open mind where hormones are concerned and take note when women post about what works for them.
