DID YOU KNOW
From Dr. John Lee, MD in The Truth About Osteoporosis:
"Years of clinical experience giving women progesterone
showed me that using a natural progesterone cream will actively
increase bone mass and density and can REVERSE osteoporosis.
These patients consistently show as much as a 29 percent
increase in bone mineral density in three years or less
of progesterone therapy. After treating hundreds of patients
with osteoporosis over a period of 15 years, I found that
those women with the lowest bone densities experienced the
greatest relative improvement, and those who had good bone
density to begin with, maintained their strong bones." (See
www.johnleemd.com)
Besides natural progesterone, weight-bearing exercise,
and plant-based healthy eating, getting at least 10 minutes
of real sunshine on a daily basis is important for preventing
and reversing osteoporosis. The natural vitamin D from the
sun is needed for the body to absorb calcium. Call the Heartland
Helpline 1-888-772-2345 for Dr. John Lee, MD's complete
protocol for osteoporosis, and to order our fast-absorbing,
non-clogging Heartland Natural Progesterone Cream.
While getting enough calcium through a healthy, plant-based
diet is important, an even bigger concern is calcium LOSS.
Did you know that high dairy and meat eating countries have
the highest levels of osteoporosis? High protein consumption
actually causes calcium depletion as the body uses your
calcium reserves in order to neutralize the acid effects
of animal proteins in the body! Calcium deficiency symptoms
to watch out for include arm and leg muscle spasms, back
and leg cramps, poor growth, tooth decay, and depression.
Don't wait to get your bone density measured. Three out
of four women have not been screened for bone mineral density.
And because of poor diet and lack of exercise, osteoporosis
is affecting women as young as their 20's and 30's. Seventy-one
percent of women with osteoporosis don't even know they
have it, and 86 percent with the disease are not being treated.
Natural Progesterone is inexpensive, completely natural
and has no negative side effects (the positive effects may
include an increase in libido and a decrease in depression,
PMS, headaches, breast tenderness and prostate inflammation).
You have nothing to lose (except maybe some excess weight)
by trying natural progesterone, but without it, you may
already be losing bone mass. Establish your baseline of
bone mineral density with a test, and order Heartland Natural
Progesterone Cream today! Call 1-888-772-2345, and ask for
a free audio tape of Dr. John Lee, MD with your order.

DEAR HEARTLAND,
I am enclosing my BMD (bone mineral density) tests that
were taken 15 months apart with the same computer/operator.
Thirty-five years ago I had a complete hysterectomy. I have
taken no hormones. But I have consistently taken daily multi-vitamin/mineral
supplements, plus lots of additional calcium, vitamin C
and other supplements. I was very surprised to discover
after falling and shattering my wrist that I had severe
osteoporosis.
Immediately I started on progesterone cream at the advice
of my chiropractor, Dr. (name withheld upon request). I
have noticed that I don't hurt like I did previously, and
I feel much better all around. I am very pleased with the
results that Heartland Natural Progesterone Cream have given
me to boost my bone density. I hope that other women will
be able to be helped by sharing my tests. Thank you for
helping me.
D.M., Michigan
D.M.'s Joint Exam Results on January 23, 2001:
The bone density was analyzed at L1-L4 with a total density
of .886 g/cm2 and a T-score of -1.5. This is a 1.9% INCREASE
in comparison to the previous study from October of 1999.
The density in her left hip gives a total value of .689
g/cm2 with a T-score of -2.1 and a femoral neck density
of .504 g/cm2 with a T-score of -3.1. This is a 12.5% INCREASE
in comparison to 1999 and would indicate that despite the
fact that she is osteoporotic at the femoral neck and has
osteopenia elsewhere, she is stable to improved without
other medications.

HOT NEWS
EXERCISE vs. OSTEOPOROSIS - a better choice than "Sedentary
Death Syndrome"
May 28, 2001 - Researchers say that 60 percent of all Americans
are currently at risk for Sedentary Death Syndrome, or "SeDS,"
a term developed by more than 200 of the nation's leading
physiologists to diagnose the growing epidemic of physical
inactivity and its relationship to chronic, preventable
diseases.
Osteoporosis is one of thirty-five listed conditions related
to inactivity. Frank Booth, Ph.D., a professor in the Department
of Physiology at the University of Missouri-Columbia, is
spearheading the effort to get federal lawmakers, the medical
community and the public to recognize SeDS as a serious
health threat. They estimate that approximately 2.5 million
Americans will die prematurely in the next 10 years because
of SeDS - a number greater than all alcohol, guns, motor
vehicles, illicit drug use and sexual behavior related deaths
combined.
Dr. John Lee, MD concurs that lack of exercise is one of
the primary causes of osteoporosis. He states that weight-bearing
exercise is the only thing besides progesterone found to
actually INCREASE bone density in older women. He recommends
a minimum of 20 minutes of weight-bearing exercise 3 to
4 times per week.
