Read up on these things using this search engine: PeatSearch: a Ray Peat-specific search engine - Toxinless Use the search cell on the left. Search for estrogen, progesterone, pregnenolone. Pregnenolone is the precursor for DHEA and is much safer to take than DHEA itself because a little too much DHEA is estrogenic. She should avoid all things estrogenic. Synthetic prescription progestins, the ones physicians like to prescribe are also estrogenic. Stick with bio-identical progesterone. Bio-identical progesterone is available over the counter as Progest-E. Pregnenolone is available without a prescription also.My mum is at menopause and has hot flashes. If i want to get her on HRT, it is recommended estradiol, progesterone and DHEA. Should i avoid the estradiol since it is not good and just go for progesterone/DHEA?
mostlylurking, thanks for this information. If a person (myself) has had breast cancer, and it was grade 1 infiltrating ductal carcinoma ER +90%, PR negative, HER-2 negative in one breast, and in the other breast grade 1 infiltrating ductal carcinoma that was ER +95%, PR +10%, HER-2 negative. Do you think I would be safe in taking progesterone and pregnenolone?Read up on these things using this search engine: PeatSearch: a Ray Peat-specific search engine - Toxinless Use the search cell on the left.

Progest-E source link: Dr. Peat's Progest E Oil Complex, 34 ml Rub it on the gums, then swallow.
Pregnenolone source link: Products - Pregnenolone - healthnatura.com It's a powder; I put it in my orange juice.
Yes I do. But don't take my word for it. Use the search engine link I posted above and read Dr. Peat's articles. You want to avoid all things estrogenic because estrogen causes cancer. Progesterone lowers estrogen in the tissues, then a healthy liver gets rid of it (with the help of a healthy functional intestine). Search for Progesterone and also for Aspirin. Here are three Ray Peat interviews on Progesterone and Estrogen:mostlylurking, thanks for this information.

I listened to Part 1. Very good information. This is so appreciated! I would like to ask another question, what do you think would be a good pregnenolone dose for me -- 10 mg., 25 mg, or 50 mg.? Thank you! I also want to order some Progest E; what dosage do you think would work best for me? Now I'm going to listen to Part 2.Yes I do. But don't take my word for it.

I have no idea what would be your best dose. You need to read Ray Peat's articles so you understand what these things do. You need to get some progesterone and some pregnenolone and test yourself for your reaction to each. There's a lot of variation in the proper dose for each individual. You tailor the amount of your dose per your reaction to it. Age and health issues enter into the equation. These are considered very safe supplements. Some people find 3 drops of progesterone does what they need. I found I need 1/4 teaspoon of it. I'm 71 and dealing with some pretty serious inflammation and cortisol issues. I've recently increased my pregnenolone dose from 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon/day because my cortisol is so high at night that I am in a lot of pain from it and I'm on a mission to get it back under control. I have some heavy metal (lead) toxicity that I am dealing with that complicates my situation.I listened to Part 1. Very good information. This is so appreciated!

Thank you very much. I am listening to Part 2 now. I've used pregnenolone in the past, and also progesterone and estradiol which my doctor was prescribing for me. It seems to me that progesterone would be good for me now, but he doesn't think so. I so appreciate your information. I will continue searching and listening to Ray Peat's audio interviews.

I started using progesterone and pregnenolone six years ago when I was stricken with rheumatoid arthritis. I was severely estrogen dominant and had been so for over 35 years. I was in big trouble. I found Ray Peat and learned what to do by reading his articles and listening to his audio interviews.

Listen to all three interviews on progesterone; it is well worth the time. If you ask your doctor about taking progesterone they will tell you it will give you cancer. Listening to all three interviews will help you understand why the medical industrial complex is anti-progesterone and has labeled it as a carcinogen.
