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.

“Bioidentical hormones have saved my life. I take estrogen, p...”

Bioidentical hormones have saved my life. I take estrogen, progesterone and thyroid (naturethroid). Without them I would have no energy, terrible insomnia, hot flashes, and a very poor quality of life. For some reason my body didn't tolerate synthetic thyroid, but the compounded thryroid works really well. I would be extremely upset if these bioidentical options were not available.

“Bioidentical hormones are a gentle and progressive way to re...”

Bioidentical hormones are a gentle and progressive way to restore aspects of youth that are lost through aging. I started at age 59 because my body was out of balance- all of a sudden, I was getting ocular migraines and joint pain. Since working with my doctor to adjust my hormones naturally, I have no joint pain and I feel like I am 30 again. I have lost weight and am in great shape.

“The multiple symptoms of menopause were brutal and unbearabl...”

The multiple symptoms of menopause were brutal and unbearable. Two weeks after starting bioidentical hormone therapy, every one of the symptoms went away. I've been on bioidentical hormones for nine years now. I am 68 years old and feel like I'm in my 40's in terms of general health, energy and appearance. In my opinion, it is the best preventative medicine I've ever experienced.

“Working with my doctor and being able to use estradiol in cr...”

Working with my doctor and being able to use estradiol in cream form has noticeably and greatly improved the quality of my life. Without it, I feel sickly and without energy. We also use testosterone, too. And when progesterone needs to be administered carefully by dose, the creams allow us to do so.

“I am feeling very healthy and strong at age 69! The bioident...”

I am feeling very healthy and strong at age 69! The bioidentical hormones I am taking are making a definite difference to my life quality. I find my sense of well-being greatly improved. I sleep much better. I feel calmer and more centered. There was a big difference when I started taking the hormones in my ability to sleep. I do not know if the improvements in my ability to concentrate and think is directly related to the better sleep or hormone levels in my system. I am very appreciative of this improvement. My relationship with my spouse is also better!

I am only 45 and I started experienced horrible hot flashes two years ago. Over the last year, they came increasingly more often, some days every 30 minutes, and lasting for 10-15 minutes each time. cBHT completely eliminated them in less than one day.

“Medicine has been limited by the conceptual error of identif...”

Medicine has been limited by the conceptual error of identifying reproduction as the only purpose of hormones, therefore neglecting the replacement of these important mediators and messengers when their levels precipitously fall at perimenopause. This blinding prevents hypotheses and study that would lead to more robust development of formulations and protocols. This will further spiral with the restriction of compounding, which remains the precinct of physician judgement and expertise to render individualized patient care in close collaboration with patients. Restoration of these hormones to healthy levels maintained during reproductive age protects against early chronic disease and is beneficial to all systems from head to toe.
