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.

It has worked for me when other 'conventional' methods failed. I was completely unable to tolerate traditional hormone replacement therapy and the availability of BHRT enhanced my physical well being, stabilized my emotional life and saved my marriage.

My compounded medication has greatly improved my energy. My medication is doctor prescribed. One minute I am able to get it, the next I am not. The large pharma (companies) and bureaucratic government has taken away my freedom, and is taking away my ability to live a happy and healthy life. From a high level view, where has the system failed its users?

“cBHT has been very beneficial, and is effective as an adjunc...”

cBHT has been very beneficial, and is effective as an adjunct treatment for organ prolapse. In pregnancy, the linea alba of the abdominal wall can stretch, and even separate to accommodate the growing fetus. This support for the organs, no longer properly in place, leads to the organs losing proper placement. This is so in my case. The cBHT tightens tissue, and helps support organ placement, which supports good organ function. I know this to be true since I am living it. This treatment is vital to my ongoing well-being.

Using the bioidentical hormone therapy (cBHT) has reduced my hot flashes to a manageable level, dramatically reduced my panic attacks and mood swings, and helped me to continue the exercise and meditation that allow me to stay healthy. I TRIED the regular HRT- it caused me to gain weight almost immediately, made my panic attacks WORSE, and was much less effective at managing the hot flashes. I am a calmer, healthier person when I use the cBHT. Please do not take the compounded therapies away.

I went from feeling poorly to great in a matter of a couple months. I now get annual checks with extensive blood work that would not be done through my primary care doctor. At least not at an affordable price.

With cBHT, I can now get quality sleep. My overall mood is good. I cannot take most pharmaceuticals as I cannot eat gluten or dairy ingredients. With compounding, these ingredients can be eliminated.

cBHT helped with my heart, skin, muscle tone and all the tremendous side effects of going through menopause. It enhanced my quality of life naturally and was made only for me (not a generic Rx that hides symptoms).

Due to strong family history of strokes, I am not able to take the 'regular HRT' as it is contraindicated. I have noticed if I stop using the bioidentical hormones, the mood swings and hot flashes return.

“Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (compounded) has ha...”

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (compounded) has had enormous positive effects on my life. I suffered for years trying pharmaceutical medication after medication to balance my hormones, having devastating effect on my mental health and causing horrible side effects. We found that I was sensitive to synthetic hormones and many chemicals, and that my baseline levels of certain hormones were usually low. Compounds have saved my quality of life! It only took a small period of adjusting the dosage to find exactly what my body needed, without anything extra chemicals that I will adversely react to. I have to pay for 100% of these prescriptions, and can't really afford it honestly, but its that important to my life and my mental health. I dread the day that the FDA takes away the only thing thats ever helped me. Please don't!

“Menopause caused extreme migraine incidents that occurred ev...”

Menopause caused extreme migraine incidents that occurred every day for a few months. Hormone replacement brought the incidence of migraines back to a manageable level of 7-10 x/mo. I have tried many preventative drugs and botox, none of which were helpful. I recently weaned myself off the hormone replacement only to find that the incidence of migraines returned. As soon as I went back on hormone replacement, migraines were again reduced to a manageable level.

cBHT has dramatically improved my life mentally, physically and emotionally. I am a healthy vibrant 53 year old woman who is having better quality of health than my other female friends who don't choose hormones. I will balance my hormones for the rest of my life in order to have continued health as I age. I live a very healthy lifestyle and cBHT gives me the most natural way to support my body. I prefer plant based medicine whenever possible.

“Using compounded hormone replacement therapy has been a life...”

Using compounded hormone replacement therapy has been a life saver for me! I am 50 years old and battling several menopause issues that have affected my quality of life, including weight gain in my abdomen, low sex drive, insomnia and depression. After starting to take and use progesterone, testosterone and estrogen, I have shed most of the weight I gained, have a more even keeled temperament and have an improved sex drive. I struggled for months with my weight and no matter how much I exercised or watched what I ate, I continually gained weight. Compounded hormone replacement has been a godsend!
