"For the great enemy of truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived, and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."~ John F. Kennedy
I want to base part of our show today on this idea. I want to go over this material which I will later post on the blog page for your viewing.
This very week I was reminded of this when a practitioner made this comment to me. "Look, when the uterus is gone, women do not need progesterone... It’s like this. Progesterone is produced by the corpus leuteum during and post ovulation, and when ovulation stops, progesterone production stops, and is then not needed. "
I want to talk about effects of progesterone today and discuss the heath benefits.

AUSTIN - TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL. On July 6,2010 the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed that tar balls from BP's Deepwater Horizon were located on Texas shores. While we do not yet know--and cannot yet calculate--the ultimate damage this ecological and economic disaster will inflict upon the state of Texas, we do know that BP will be held fully financially accountable for the costs incurred by the taxpayers when state and local governments engage in clean-up and response efforts. Equally important, BP will also be held responsible for the economic harm suffered by coastal businesses, fisherman, landowners, individuals and communities as a result of the Deepwater Horizon spill.
Over the last few weeks, the Office of the Attorney General has participated in an ongoing series of meetings and conference calls with BP, Gulf State attorneys general, the U.S. Department of Justice and relevant Texas state government agencies to prepare for the State's legal response in the event oil from the Deepwater Horizon reached our shores. BP has repeatedly assured us that they will fully compensate communities, businesses, individuals and governmental entities that incur costs because of this oil spill. To ensure that BP fulfills its promises, this morning I spoke with Jack Lynch, BP's General Counsel, to request that BP provide $25 million to fund Texas' response and clean-up efforts--just as it did for each of the other Gulf Coast states. That request was formalized in a letter sent to BP earlier today.
