As the FDA considers removing access to certain medicines like compounded hormones, their voices must be part of the conversation.

It has helped me. Hot flashes are a nightmare! Any time, anywhere it happened. Hot flashes have such a bad effect on your mental health as well. We should be blessed to age gracefully and peacefully, especially women!

I have a large cyst on my right ovary that was significantly reduced using the cBHT. In addition with cBHT my husband and I have been able to conceive a child twice. Without cBHT we were experiencing infertility.

“After a hysterectomy at an early age, I needed BHRT to maint...”

After a hysterectomy at an early age, I needed BHRT to maintain my regular health and stave off the long term health consequences from having low hormone levels. These bioidentical hormones have been extremely necessary for me as I am unable to take synthetic hormones and consider them to be dangerous. Due to my medical history and genetics, my hormones are compounded since they need to be customized to meet my specific needs. This has been a life saver for me and my health overall has been 100% better.

“I tried to find a conventional solution to my hormone imbala...”

I tried to find a conventional solution to my hormone imbalances for multiple years, starting in my early 20's, experimenting with at least five synthetic hormone options. I have several autoimmune diseases, and my hormone imbalances can make my other conditions far worse than they are. The deficiencies also add depression and intense irritability to my list of symptoms, which makes everything else so much harder. About seven years ago, I finally found a doctor who recommended and prescribed compounded bioidentical progesterone and estrogen. While the conventional hormone options gave me terrible side effects and very little symptom improvement, cBHT has made a huge difference for me, drastically improving my fatigue, inflammation, depression, and pain. I cannot imagine losing access to bioidentical compounded hormones and ask that everything be done to prevent that. My medical conditions are expensive, disabling, and challenging enough without any added barriers to getting one of the few types of treatment that actually helps. Increasing the regulations around cBHT and giving pharmaceutical monopolies even more market control is highly unethical and absolutely unacceptable.

Bioidentical hormones have affected my life in the most positive way and I know my health is positively affected as well. We absolutely need to fight for our medical freedom of choice. FDA stop this power grab - let us choose! My life is so much more vibrant since I started on bioidentical hormones. I lay my head down at night and sleep all night until morning. No more sleepless nights. No more moodiness, no more night sweats, and no more headaches. I have great skin and great hair. I can go on and on. I feel fabulous.

I have been using cBHT for 15 years. It has drastically improved the quality of my life, with NO side effects. I will be 55 years old and had a hysterectomy at age 40. I was prescribed hormone replacement medication from my doctor. After looking at all the potential side effects such as cancer etc., I chose to go a different route and never looked back. I have had NO side effects and feel great. It is very important for people to have options in their medical care.

I was having extreme night sweats, no energy or libido, sex was extremely painful and I was depressed. Since being on the cBHT, all of those have improved greatly and I have my life back. And my husband is happy too.

“I have had a complete hysterectomy with bladder sling and me...”

I have had a complete hysterectomy with bladder sling and mesh to repair vaginal and rectal prolapse. Hormone suppositories have been extremely helpful in keeping the vaginal tissues healthy. I also use a hormone patch for estrogen which enhances my quality of life and protects my bones. I also use a Testosterone troche which also protects my bones. My DEXA test since starting this regimen has actually shown increased bone density. I use a compounded micronized progesterin for sleep which has been a miracle as a sleep aid. I highly recommend compounded hormones for their extremely beneficial affect.

Going through menopause I started having hot flashes, night sweats, foggy thinking and irritability. Since being on cBHT, I feel like my premenopausal self with clearer thinking and the hot flashes and night sweats are gone, which allows for a better night's rest. I hope to never have to be without my hormones. They are life changing for me as well as so many others.

“Bioidentical hormone cream has been an excellent choice for ...”

Bioidentical hormone cream has been an excellent choice for me. It is more individualized than the pills. I feel my best right on the dose that I am on. I feel that it would be horrible to take a dose of hormones that is not the exact dose that the person needs and when you take these hormones in the form of pills you don't get as much of a choice in dosing as well as what the liver has to go through to metabolize these hormones. I am asking for the FDA to reconsider what they are trying to do. PEOPLE'S HEALTH DEPENDS ON IT. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to give my input.

I've been using cBHT for eight years and I feel great. My nails are stronger, my skin is smoother, and my memory is better. The hot flashes are gone, so I can sleep again. Needless to say, my husband is also happy with the results. My doctor says my blood work is perfect. I've never had any side effects. I take no prescription drugs. I just take supplements and use cBHT. I feel no differently now than I did when I was in my 30's. I would be very upset to lose access to cBHT. If the FDA wants to get rid of something, they need to get rid of the countless prescription drugs with the ridiculous list of serious side effects. Anyone who truly wants to change healthcare for the better should be an advocate for supplements, cBHT, and more doctors trained in natural healing.

cBHT is the only remedy that allows my adult daughter (born in an Army hospital) to function, otherwise she is out of control and becomes violent. We tried many other prescriptions to no avail. Please don't let the FDA restrict availability.
