Why Is An Obvious Prostate Cancer Treatment Being Ignored?

Frankfort, IL – October 1, 2002 – The treatment is the use of natural progesterone and the reason is money. Pamela Hett-Dobricky, M.B.A., a health care educator is on a mission to educate men about the use of natural progesterone in promoting good prostate health and in the treatment of Prostate Cancer.

New research by Brent Formby, Ph.D. at the Sansum Medical Research Institute in Santa Barbara, CA has uncovered evidence that progesterone may help men with prostate problems. His results showed that progesterone inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cells and that estradiol (estrogen) and dihdrotestosterone (DHT) (bad testosterone) accelerate prostate cancer cell growth.

So if this is true, why aren’t doctors prescribing natural progesterone to their patients? The answers are money and lack of knowledge. First money, truly natural progesterone, one that is the same chemical composition that our bodies make can not be patented. You can not patent a natural occurring substance. If you can’t patent it, you can’t make money. Secondly doctors remain cautious and wary of a drug that doesn’t show up in their medical literature, and does not appear to have any credibility behind it. It is a vicious circle, if a substance can not be patented, there is no money to be made, then if there is no money to be made, and then there is no reason for a drug company to do a clinical trial to see if the substance is beneficial.

Each year over 400,000 men in the United States alone undergo prostate surgery and over a billion dollars a year is spent on prostate treatment. Proscar, the leading drug is highly dangerous and according to the United States Veteran’s Administration is no more effective than a sugar pill. On the opposite side there are no side effects to using natural progesterone. By the age of 50, 35% of men have cancer cells in their prostate. Odds are 2 to 1 a man will have prostate problems by the time they are 60.

Ms. Hett-Dobricky’s mission is to get the word out to men about the benefits of natural progesterone. How to educate and work with your doctor to add this to your treatment regime. Understanding how to use natural progesterone to alleviate symptoms associated with enlarged prostate and how it can enhance libido, improve energy, stamina and endurance. Ms. Hett-Dobricky explains why a natural progesterone cream is better than a pill, what the correct dosage is and the potency difference synthetic progesterone and USP grade natural progesterone.

Ms. Hett-Dobricky, is the former Administrator of the Rush Cancer Institute at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center, Chicago Illinois, has lectured at Women’s Health Awareness Seminars on the benefits of natural progesterone as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy. Ms. Hett-Dobricky earned her B.S. Political Science from DePaul University, Chicago, Illinois and her M.B.A in Health Care Administration from Dominican University, River Forest, Illinois.
