United States

In the United States, millions of people depend on compounded medicines to live normal, productive, healthy lives. Their first-hand stories speak directly to the power of this important therapy. As the FDA considers removing access to certain medicines like compounded hormones, their voices must be part of the conversation.

“cBHT has been a very "user-friendly" source of hormone repla...”

cBHT has been a very "user-friendly" source of hormone replacement therapy for me. My wellness doctor monitors my hormone levels yearly to maintain or adjust dosage for me to stay in a healthy balance. The physical issues I had have improved greatly using my specific combination of bioidentical hormones. I have no noticeable side effects after years of using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. I don't trust a "one-size fits all" approach to dosing. I recommend bioidentical hormone replacement to anyone needing replacement therapy, along with a knowledgeable, trained doctor to regularly monitor treatment and evaluate effectiveness.

The cream strengthens my vaginal wall and allows me to retain the pessary. At 82 years old, I now have zero bladder leakage. What a gift! I could not afford this estriol cream if it were not compounded. The commercial brands are way too expensive.

“Bioidentical hormones turned my life around. I had been suff...”

Bioidentical hormones turned my life around. I had been suffering for a year with depression (and I never had depression until 51). Attempts at anti-depressants made it worse so I discontinued them. In about a week or two, after suffering for a year, the bioidentical hormones brought me back to myself. It was a miracle for me. I literally got my life back! I was so thankful to have found doctors who checked my hormone levels (and "vitamin" D levels too). I have had turnarounds in other aspects of my health. A year or so after beginning them, I stopped wearing glasses, no more aortic insufficiency after having it retested a few times, and got my libido back which had been totally gone. I believe there are positive impacts to health overall and may stop some of the negative effects of aging. If something is working so well, why interfere with it. I feel stronger and healthier now than in my 40's. I would be devastated!

Honestly, I was physically and emotionally a mess before beginning cBHT. I sleep better and have more energy, but the biggest change has been in my mood. I'm happier and more able to handle difficult situations. In one word ... stable. I was very unstable and overly sensitive before. So thankful for cBHT!

This product has helped me enormously with hot flashes that I still experience at 71. It also helps me to sleep better, and in general enhances my health. I was not able to afford the pharmaceutical hormone replacement therapy, and so I sought out other options, and found this. What a blessing. I don't have to suffer through hot flashes and other issues relating to diminishment of hormone production in my body. This is so important to me!

“First of all, I needed HRT because of my dysautonomia. I gen...”

First of all, I needed HRT because of my dysautonomia. I generate too much cortisol and therefore not enough hormones. In addition, the dsyautonomia and mast cell disorder causes me to be very sensitive to synthetic hormones. Earlier in my life I tried to use an implanted birth control and my body actually rejected it, causing horrible cramping and expulsion. My life is so much better with compounded bHRT!

I used to get terrible muscle tears in my back from simple things like carrying suitcases. That completely changed when I used cBHT to get my testosterone to a reasonable level. It also allows me to do dance lifts which were not possible before and allows me to keep in shape, doing things I love to do.

I take a prescription cream compound of testosterone and chrysin which is prescribed by my Naturopathy doctor. I am 67 years old and my golfing buddies are ages 45-55. I keep up with them at all levels, and they keep asking me "how old are you?" I feel great and look great. I couldn't do it without this compounded medicine. I look forward to a long and healthy life of active retirement.

I was exhausted and not interested in intimacy at all. I had a total hysterectomy at age 43 with no hormone replacements so I went immediately into menopause. After years of feeling miserable I tried cBHT and I felt like I had control of my life again. Energy and activity levels rose, as did interest in intimacy. I felt like a total human again.

“I have been using a bioidentical hormone for over 20 years, ...”

I have been using a bioidentical hormone for over 20 years, and the positive impact on my life has been immeasurable. I live my life fully and enjoy every minute of it, thanks to the benefits of my bioidentical treatment. Because I am female, and this hormone helps to regulate all aspects of my life, should the FDA restrict it's use, I fear I may have to take a manufactured drug or worse yet, an anti-depressant. Yes, I truly believe bioidentical hormones are a miracle compound that have prevented me from having mental health issues. Unlike other women my age, because of these hormones, I have escaped many problems that plague women taking manufactured drugs: irritability, loss of enjoyment in everyday activities, and depression. Additionally, I have experienced NO side effects from the bioidentical hormones. I know this is not necessarily the case with manufactured drugs. On behalf of all women and men using bioidentical hormones, I beg the FDA not to restrict the use of cBHRT; it has benefited my life and will continue to do so. After all, every person should be able to use the product that works best for the individual, not what is mass produced for millions and has the potential for side-effects. Big Pharma is not always best!

“Without this prescription I could not have sex and the dryne...”

Without this prescription I could not have sex and the dryness of my vagina was noticeable when I walked. Please do not change my ability to have this precise hormone formula compounded for me. The standard formulas created breast tenderness and other bad outcomes. This precise dosage determined by my doctor and pharmacist together has been a godsend. Do not change this.

“The use of a compounded hormone therapy (with estradiol) rem...”

The use of a compounded hormone therapy (with estradiol) removed lesions in my cervix, led to passing PAP tests, improved the moisture in my vagina, and improved sexual relations. My compounding pharmacy always provides pharmacist instructions when picking up my prescription. The pharmacy is clean. Also, the cost is significantly cheaper than using a prescription from some place like Walgreens. I understand that this cream is not as dangerous as taking pills. Please allow the use of this cream to continue!
