HORMONE REPLACEMENT
THERAPY
A woman's
hormone levels change daily during her
menstrual cycle. In the first half of her
cycle, prior to her ovulation, estrogen
levels drop and progesterone rises. If no
pregnancy ensues, levels of both hormones
drop, and menses begins.
Medical research also indicates hormone
replacement will increase bone mineral
density and counteract osteoporosis.
Estrogen therapy for postmenopausal women is
being avoided by many knowledgeable
physicians since it may increase the risk of
eudiometrical cancer, gallstones, and
cardiovascular disease.
PROGESTERONE THERAPY
Progesterone
therapy is successfully used by health care
professionals to relieve symptoms of both
PMS (when progesterone levels are low and/or
estrogen is dominant) and menopause (when
both estrogen and progesterone decrease).
Progesterone is needed for the proper
function of the adrenal glands. Stress on
the adrenal glands my lead to progesterone
deficiency, often causing symptoms of
nervous disorders, depression, irritability,
fatigue, and mood swings.
"Latest research now shows that natural
progesterone should be the choice, rather
then estrogen, as the hormone of
replacement." - Dr. Betty Kamen
Today, modern medical research documents
that progesterone may counteract bone loss,
elevate low hormonal levels, and regulate
the ratios of estrogen and progesterone.
Wild Mexican yam is recognized by herbalists
for supporting the female endocrine system
by balancing hormones and strengthening the
liver.
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.
Symptoms of PMS include:
Headache
Motor
Coordination Problems
Epilepsy
Fainting Spells
Lethargy
Leg
Cramps
Breast
Engorgement
Backache
Insomnia
Inability To Concentrate
Frequent Urination
Facial

Until now,
women had to endure PMS symptoms. The broad
range of PMS symptoms 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
Information
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.
Dr. Jessie Hanley, M.D., a practicing female
physician in Malibu, California, says,
"Women report changes in their mood, energy
level, and sexual desire, and often
experience fatigue, hot flashes, and night
sweats with the arrival of menopause.
Furthermore, a woman's risk of heart disease
and osteoporosis -- the major cause of hip
fractures and collapse of the spine in later
life -- begins to rise."
Dr. Hanley notes, "There are safe, effective
ways to relieve the stormy and unpleasant
symptoms of this natural transition, and
it's not by popping hormone pills. Some
simple plant derived hormone creams work
wonders without requiring women to take
unnecessary health risks."
Many women experience relief of symptoms by
applying Natural Progesterone Cream in the
amount of 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon - 21 days on,
7 days off. Most women have reported a
complete cessation of symptoms within 3 to 8
weeks.
RESTORED BALANCE TEST
RESULTS
Regardless of all the magazine articles and
books and all the testimony of experts --
regardless of what is printed on a label or
what a company guarantees with their own
in-house laboratory, a cream not backed by
an independent laboratory assay may be
questionable and may not offer consistent
potency and results.
Therefore, for your benefit and protection,
we have submitted a sample of our Restored
Balance formula to
ZRT Laboratories,
an independent F.D.A registered clinical
laboratory, for objective testing and
evaluation of potency, activity, and
consistency.

The Tradition of Holy
Basil
Holy Basil, known as Ocimum sanctum in Latin, has for
thousands of years been revered as “Tulsi” in Ayurvedic
medicine. “Tulsi” means “The Incomparable One,” which is
the reality of this majestic herb. When in New Delhi, we
visited with the leader of India’s Ayurvedic Medical
Association. We asked that “vaidya,” or Ayurvedic
master, why Holy Basil is considered the Mother Medicine
of Nature in his tradition. He replied that Holy Basil
is “ anti-mutagenic and anti-inflammatory.” It is, he
said, a “rasayana,” or an herb that on its own nourishes
a person’s growth to perfect health and enlightenment.
We asked why people in the West find that Holy Basil
promotes a positive stress response and elevates their
spirit, and he replied that “Holy Basil delivers
nutrients to the mind necessary for the experience of
enlightenment.”

Natural Progesterone Cream is the
convenient and safe way to easily treat premenstrual
syndrome (PMS), menopause, and osteoporosis. Most people
(including many doctors) have only a basic understanding
of what hormones are and how they affect our bodies. The
latest medical research shows that many of the
afflictions that women take in stride as as being
"normal for women" are actually the result of hormone
imbalances that can be easily and safely corrected.
Welcome to the 21st Century!
Most people know about estrogen and testosterone (the
female and male hormones), but what most people don't
know about is progesterone. Progesterone is a crucially
important hormone produced by the adrenal gland that
acts as a "regulator" for the other hormones in our body
-- kind like of a thermostat that keeps your body's
various hormone levels perfectly adjusted. Most of the
symptoms that women face during PMS or menopause are the
result of either too much estrogen or not enough, and
this is controlled by their progesterone.
Sadly, in the case of estrogen imbalance, doctors
usually treat the symptoms rather then the ailment (i.e.
Prozac for PMS depression, estrogen for menopausal
symptoms and osteoporosis). What is really happening in
most cases is that there is a progesterone deficiency
that is leading to their imbalance in estrogen. Without
the regulating effects of progesterone, estrogen levels
get out of control. Rather then trying to artificially
adjust estrogen levels with pills, the smart thing to do
is to correct the progesterone deficiency, and then let
the estrogen problem correct itself.
You won't find a lot of chemicals or
unproven herbs in our cream. Instead, Restored Balance
Natural Progesterone Cream provides concentrated natural
progesterone USP dissolved in a moisturizing cream base
containing aloe vera oil. We also test our cream
regularly with an independent laboratory which allows us
to maintain quality and concentrations in the very top
ranges.
Each two ounce container lasts approximately two months.
This amount is all you need to restore optimal
physiological levels, and is consistent with proven
guidelines. The sterols are processed through
several fermentation steps to yield progesterone which
is identical to the progesterone produced by the human
body. They use only the Dioscorea barbasco, which is
the purest and most expensive form of natural
progesterone. It is also tested regularly with an
independent labor
atory
which allows Restored Balance to maintain quality and
concentrations in the very top ranges.

Yes, Men
need Progesterone too! Progesterone is vital to good
health in both women and men. It is the primary
precursor of our adrenal cortical hormones and
testosterone. Males synthesize progesterone in amounts
less than women do but it is still vital. Furthermore,
it may be important in the prevention and/or treatment
of prostatism and prostate cancer. The most common
problem associated with the prostate is enlargement of
the prostate itself. This results in a narrowing of the
urethra and can lead to many different urinary problems
including the need to urinate three to four times a
night, trouble in urinating, and painful urination. The
medical term for this condition is "benign prostatic
hyperplasia" (BPH). It's not life threatening, but it
sure can make your life miserable. Luckily BPH is often
treatable with natural herbal preparations like our
Prostate Care Cream. Prostate Care is made up of many
different beneficial natural herbs. The cream is very
easy to apply. Men use the cream ONCE a day with no
breaks. ¼ teaspoon is massaged into soft skin daily,
rotating application sites. It's great as a moisturizing
cream on your face after you shave each morning. One
two ounce tube will last approximately two months.
Three
changes seem to occur as men age: progesterone levels
fall; estradiol levels rise; and testosterone changes to
the dihydro- form.

Other
benefits of natural progesterone for men: Enhances
libido, improves energy, stamina and endurance;
Stimulates the body's own natural production and
regulation of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and
other hormones; Men may also use natural progesterone to
balance testosterone, to alleviate symptoms associated
with an enlarged prostate, and to reverse the feminizing
effects of too much estrogen.

evergreen tree native to Africa, where it has been
used for a variety of health compliments. The
purified fat-soluble extract of the bark of Pygeum
Africanum has demonstrated clinical efficacy similar
to the extract of saw palmetto. The mechanism of
action appears to work via its inhibition of
cholesterol uptake by the prostate, antagonizing
testosterone, and reducing prostatic inflammation).
American Ginseng - 3300 mg, per 1/4 tsp
(strengthens the adrenal and reproductive glands.
Enhances immune functions, promotes ling functioning,

Sarsaparilla - contains vitamins A, B-complex, C
and D. Also the minerals iron, manganese, sodium,
silicon, sulfur, copper, zinc, and iodine. It contains
the amino acids methionine and cysteine. It also
contains diogenin, a saprogen which in turn contains
the female hormone progesterone and the male hormone
testosterone. Sarsaparilla helps strengthen the nerve
fibers and tissues of the brain, spinal cord, lungs,
and throat. Sarsaparilla is especially good for
removing heavy metallic contaminants from the blood,
which are received through the nostrils in the foul,
smog-filled air of urban areas. Sarsaparilla root,
which contains testosterone, will help hair regrow
Natural
Progesterone - 30 mg, per 1/4 tsp (derived from
the Mexican wild yam root or soy. These sterols are
processed through several fermentation steps to yield
progesterone which is identical to the progesterone
produced by the human body. Restored Balance uses
only the Dioscorea barbasco which is the purest and
most expensive form of natural progesterone).
Natural
Vitamin C - 1000 mg, per 1/4 tsp (Restored Balance
uses Ascorbic Acid from Malpighia punicifolia, the
Acerola cherry (containing 17-19%). Vitamin C is a very powerful
antioxidant that also protects other antioxidants,
such as Vitamin E. The cells of the brain and spinal
cord, which frequently incur free radical damage, can
be protected by significant amounts of Vitamin C.
Vitamin C acts as a more potent free radical scavenger
in the presence of a bioflavanoid called hesperidin.
In addition to its role as an antioxidant, Vitamin C
detoxified many harmful substances and plays a key
role in immunity. It increases the synthesis of
interferon, a natural antiviral product).

ABOUT PROGESTERONE
In 1936,
Japanese scientists discovered that a
species of wild yam (Dioscorea villosa -mexicana)
growing in the south of Mexico contained a
sterol called diosgenin which is remarkably
similar to progesterone. Wild yam contains a
"bank" of important precursors which could
be used by the human body to biochemically
synthesize DHEA, progesterone, and other
hormones nearly identical to that produced
by the adrenal gland. In 1943, Professor
Russell Marker discovered how to synthesize
diosgenin from the wild yam into
progesterone.
For a number of years following this
discovery, wild Mexican yam was a primary
source for the production of progesterone
and other hormones. Until recently, wild yam
(not to be confused with the sweet potato
yam) was the sole source of the diosgenin
used in making contraceptive pills.
According to herbalist Rosemary Gladstar in
her book, Herbal Healing For Women (Simon&
Schuster, 1993), wild yam is the most widely
used herb in the world today, with over 200
million prescriptions sold each year that
contain its derivatives.
Natural Vs. Synthetic:
Surprisingly,
there is a big difference between synthetic
and natural progesterone. Natural
progesterone is not the same as synthetic
forms called, "progestins", "progestagens",
or chemically altered progesterone.
Natural progesterone is made from plants,
not chemicals or drugs. Let's read what the
experts say.
Synthetic Estrogen and Progestins:
Typical problems associated with synthetic
progesterone include bloating, depression,
and increased risk of heart attack,
gallstone, breast cancer, uterus cancer, and
cervical cancer.
Julian Whitaker, M.D.,
writing in Health and Healing,
March, 1994, says estrogen replacement has
been associated with increased cancer of the
uterus and breast. He continued that
Provera ® has more then thirty negative side
effects listed in the Physician's Desk
Reference, "the doctor's Bible of drug
information."
Time Magazine's cover story, June 26, 1995,
"Estrogen: Every Woman's Dilemma"
illustrates the widespread controversy,
confusion, and concern about the subject.
Dr. Susan Love
says, "Many gynecologists are handing out
these hormones like M&M's."
American Heart Journal, 1994:
Estrogen has complex actions
including risks of endometrial cancer,
breast cancer, and gallstones.
Breast Cancer Research, 1991:
Evidence supporting estrogen's role
in breast cancer comes from international
studies.
Molecular & Cellular Endocrinology,
1994: Synthetic progestins induce
proliferation of breast tumor cells.
International Journal of Cancer,
1992: Cervical cancer is stimulated
in response to excess estrogen.
Natural Progesterone:
Dr. Christine Northrup, M.D.,
writing in Women's Health Wisdom, Spring
1995, says, "Natural hormone
replacement therapy is the best news in 20
years for women over 40. Man made hormones
are synthesized from things nature never
intended you to put into your body, like
pregnant mare's urine." Dr. Northrup further
states, "If that bothers you, talk to your
doctor about switching to natural
progesterone, which is exactly the same as
what your body produces. With natural
progesterone, there's none of the bloating,
depression, and increased risk of heart
attack and cancer that synthetic
progesterone can give you."
Dr. David Williams, M.D.,
writing in the Fall, 1995 issue of
Alternatives, says, "Osteoporosis is
far more then a mere inconvenience. Each
year it is responsible for over 1.3 million
fractures in men and women over the age of
45. Worse yet, 40,000 osteoporosis victims
annually die within six months of their
fractures and 50% who experience hip
fractures due to osteoporosis never regain
the ability to walk independently."
Dr. Williams also states, "The continuous
use of estrogen greatly increases the risk
of cancer. Furthermore, estrogen can cause
diabetes, high blood pressure, and abnormal
blood clotting. Even if it were totally
safe, estrogen does nothing to replace bone
cells that have already been lost. At best,
it can only prevent additional bone loss."
"Since 1949, science has known how to
extract from the wild Mexican yam, several
completely natural compounds that act as
hormones. More importantly, these compounds
halt osteoporosis in it's tracks. And unlike
estrogen, they actually reverse the progress
of the disease and restore bone density --
and there are no dangerous side effects."
Dr. Williams notes in clinical tests on over
100 osteoporosis victims ranging in age from
38 to 83, the Mexican yam restored bone
densities to the levels of a healthy 35 year
old. He also stated that he verified the
effectiveness of this all natural remedy,
located a source for the product, and
released the information to the public
through a recent issue of the publication,
Alternatives.
