Fibrocystic Breast Disease

Excerpts from a talk with John. R. Lee, M.D.

When Dr. Lee began studying natural progesterone, he was recommending natural progesterone to treat osteoporosis.
He was astounded when a growing number of these women came back to him reporting that while the progesterone reversed their osteoporosis, the fibrocystic breast disease they had had for years had also disappeared.

One woman who had had four surgeries and kept developing lumps was worried that it might be breast cancer. After using progesterone for about three months, her breasts returned to normal. That progesterone could reverse fibrocystic breast disease was not part of Dr. Lee’s progesterone hypothesis, but he continued hearing the same story from a growing number of women.

Another woman talking to Dr. Lee about her osteoporosis asked him what if anything natural progesterone had on fibrocystic breasts. She was asking because her daughter was about to undergo a bilateral mastectomy. Her doctor had tried all the usual treatments without success. Testosterone had masculinized her and taking another medication made her sick. The woman was suffering from excruciating pain and her doctor was worried that cancer might develop. Dr. Lee recommended that she try progesterone, because her symptoms were classic signs of estrogen dominance. Dr. Lee was convinced that progesterone cream could restore hormonal balance and once balance was achieved, the breasts would return to normal. Six weeks later Dr. Lee received a thank you call from the daughter saying her breasts were back to normal and the doctor couldn't find any cysts, either by physical examination or by mammogram. Her breasts had returned to normal in two cycles.

Dr. John R. Lee vs. a drug company on treatment of fibrocystic breast disease About the same time, Dr. Lee who was then President of the Academy of Family Practice in Marin County, California, was invited to a medical conference in San Francisco to participate in a panel discussion on fibrocystic breast disease. The panel of six doctors came from all over the United States, but what none of the doctors realized was that the panel discussion was sponsored by a drug company which was introducing a new drug at the conference to treat fibrocystic breast disease. The sponsor’s agenda was that the doctors would admit that there was no viable treatment for fibrocystic breast disease. The panel moderator asked each doctor on the panel what they did for fibrocystic breast disease. The other doctors said that their treatment involved getting rid of methylxanthines, caffeine, chocolate and coffee, while reducing estrogen and increasing vitamin C and E levels, but all admitted that none of these strategies were working very well. When Dr. Lee was called upon he explained that fibrocystic breasts are a sign of estrogen dominance and if you give the women with fibrocystic breasts natural progesterone, their breasts return to normal— no more fibrocysts.

One of the other panelists asked Dr. Lee exactly what he recommended for women
with fibrocystic breast disease. Doctors in the audience then asked where they could get natural progesterone cream. The nonplussed moderator interrupted to ask, “Are you telling me that if you give natural progesterone, the breasts return to normal?” Dr. Lee replied, “Yes, that is exactly what happens!” The moderator then asked if Dr. Lee had ever heard of the drug his company manufactured. Dr. Lee had never heard of the drug which was a testosterone analog. The moderator went on to explain that his company was introducing the new drug, so Dr. Lee asked him how much it would cost per month. The cost of the new drug was ten times what natural progesterone cream would cost. Dr. Lee then asked the company representative what side effects a patient could expect.

The moderator admitted that the drug was masculinizing and could affect liver function. When Dr. Lee pointed out that natural progesterone cream didn’t have any side effects, the moderator got very agitated and tried again to explain to the 500 doctors in the room what his new product was. The doctors told him to forget it – they wanted to hear about natural progesterone.

Dr. Lee never received another invitation to subsequent conferences nor was he ever contacted by the drug company’s salesman. Dr. Lee feels this was the proverbial crossroad which prompted him to begin writing and speaking about what he had learned from his patients about natural progesterone.

Other success stories with natural progesterone and fibrocystic breast disease
The foregoing are paraphrased excerpts from the two-tape series, “What My Patients Taught Me About Hormones”, which was recorded in February 1996 at a Springboard convention in Las Vegas. A woman in the audience contacted a friend who was an executive at the MGM Grand. The friend called to ask if I (Larry Jordan) would be available to give a presentation on the effect of natural progesterone cream on fibrocystic breast disease. The woman’s reason for requesting a talk solely on fibrocystic breast disease and natural progesterone cream became clear when we spoke the next evening. The woman’s gynecologist had stopped counting when he found over 200 fibrocysts in her breasts. The doctor had recommended bilateral mastectomy. That night the woman decided to put off the surgery until after trying ProBalance. When she went back to her gynecologist two months later, all the fibrocysts were gone. Needless to say, the woman was thrilled to learn she no longer had fibrocystic breast disease and happy that she had heard about ProBalance before undergoing a mastectomy.

Over the past two years, only a few cases of fibrocystic breast disease have failed to respond to ProBalance within six months although the average response time has been two to three months. In seminars and radio and TV talk shows around the country audiences have been asked to report any instance of fibrocystic breast disease which has not responded to treatment with natural progesterone cream. To date, only three women have reported no relief and in each situation, the women were taking medications which might have caused the progesterone receptor sites to shut down. If you or someone you love has fibrocystic breast disease, please tell them about natural progesterone cream. Suggest that they read Dr. Lee’s book, listen to his tapes, and try a good natural progesterone cream following Dr. Lee’s recommended protocol.
