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 greatly changed my life and lifestyle for the bette...”

cBHT has greatly changed my life and lifestyle for the better. I began menopause with anxiety, depression and insomnia. I constantly felt overwhelmed. My marriage suffered and my work suffered. As a result, I didn't want to be around people. I withdrew and didn't want to go out. BHT gave me back my life! I can now sleep, I no longer have anxiety and no longer struggle with being overwhelmed. I feel like I can live again and interact with people again. Even my marriage is better! When I was young I watched my mother and grandmother suffer from menopause and isolate themselves from society. I don't want that for my life. I am passionate about bioidentical hormones. I live a healthy lifestyle, I eat healthy and try to exercise often. I do not want unsafe hormones in my body from a source that is not bioidentical. I never want to go off my cBHT.

I went from getting zero sleep, being irritable and having a terrible quality of life, before I was able to get the right dose of plant-based, bioidentical hormones. I don't know what I'd do without them. Humans should have a choice and a variety of options for maintaining health.

“At age 21, I lost my period completely. I spent three years ...”

At age 21, I lost my period completely. I spent three years going to multiple doctors and tried different medications like metformin and spironolactone. Nothing would help my hormones go back into balance and induce a period. After the first month of applying the gel form of bioidentical hormones, my period started. It has begun to normalize and it has had a great impact on my health and self esteem.

My hot flashes would start around my waist and move up to my head. My glasses would steam up and my hair would start dripping. Sometimes I would get dizzy. This all stopped with bioidentical hormones.

I have never felt better after starting my hormone creams. I am now 76 years old. I had a complete hysterectomy at 39 and suffered from depression, hot flashes, and overall not feeling "right". Hormones have given me a new lease on life. I will not give them up and PLEASE don't take them away. It is bad enough that insurance will not cover them, but I am willing to pay for them out of pocket.

BHT allows you to age and not disintegrate. BHT keeps you to be vibrant, sharp, happy, and healthy as you age. It should be the normal recommended course of action by physicians if they are trying to keep us healthy. They are extremely necessary and must NOT BE TAKEN FROM PEOPLE!

“My doctor recommended a total hysterectomy and oophorectomy ...”

My doctor recommended a total hysterectomy and oophorectomy when I was age 38. As a result, I required hormone therapy to prevent early onset menopause for many years. When my (male) gynecologist would no longer prescribe commercial brand hormones, I began to suffer not only the discomfort of hot flashes, but difficulty with anxiety, with focus and joint inflammation and pain that was very difficult to tolerate, due to hormone deficiency. Bioidentical hormone therapy, that is individually compounded for me, allowed me to continue to work and support myself, and to continue to enjoy social activities which would have been impossible due to joint pain. As a woman, I feel that not only my quality of life but ability to survive was improved by this form of therapy. The quality of life issue for women should be taken very seriously, though they may be hard to appreciate by men or by those who have not yet experienced the need for hormone therapy. Women should not be needlessly subjected to suffering that would result if hormone therapy were removed. This form of necessary care should be preserved.

“Not only has cBHT greatly improved my life by giving me more...”

Not only has cBHT greatly improved my life by giving me more balanced emotion and energy through menopause, as well as helping my hair, my skin and my nails, but it has helped balance my vaginal flora that shifted during menopause sending me into a vicious cycle of urinary tract infections. After being on an additional vaginal cream, My UTI symptoms seem to have taken a backseat. I cannot imagine where I would be without both of these therapies. I am an extremely sensitive individual to many treatments out there, and I hope that I am able to keep the ability to choose something catered specifically to me. I don't want to introduce more into my body than what is needed. Doing so has caused diverse side effects many times before. It is important to me to listen to my body and give it just what it needs... not more. We should absolutely be able to choose and I hope the FDA recognizes this.

I've had no side effects, only a wonderfully, enlivening effect. My skin has maintained far more elasticity, my muscles are maintaining, and my overall vigor is of a woman 10-15 years younger than my friends who have not used cBHT. I sleep well and my mood is even and positive.

Bioidentical hormones have made my life so much better than before. After a hysterectomy at age 51, I felt lifeless and had no sexual desire at all. Thanks to my amazing doctor, I am, at 67, still energetic and vigorous. I don't know what I would do without my hormones. It would be criminal to make them illegal for no reason whatsoever.

I had so many symptoms due to menopause, hot flashes, night sweats, a fuzzy brain, sleepless nights, anxiety (which was new to me) etc. Once I started taking bioidentical hormones, all my symptoms went away. I am on a low dose of these hormones and I see my doctor each year and I'm healthy and happy.

cBHT has definitely affected my life for the better. Before getting on them I could hardly do anything. So tired and depressed to tears. They have helped my bones and renewed some of my youth. I am 76 years old. I don't have to be concerned about cystic breasts, that were caused by tradition hormones, turning into cancer. Please continue to give us a choice which hormones we choose to take. The bioidentical ones will always be my choice.

I am so grateful for my bioidentical hormones. They are the foundation of my health. I don't suffer from hot flashes or dryness anymore. My bones are healthy and strong. I weight train and exercise, I eat healthy, but my bioidentical hormones are essential to my well-being. I look and feel younger than women 10 years younger than me. I have had no adverse side effects.

Bioidentical hormones have helped tremendously with my quality of life. They have helped to increase my bone density and helped me to not suffer from hot flashes and painful vaginal thinning and dryness. They increased my sexual drive and I overall feel so much better and more confident. I couldn't be happy without them.
