Once the hot flashes started, I knew I had to take steps to protect my body from hormone loss. My doctor had told me about Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy which is a plant based medication which is similar to the body's molecular structure. Unlike horse urine used in the typical hormone therapy, the body quickly and efficiently absorbs the hormone and there are not side effects. I watched my mother suffer through the chemical hormone replacement and finally give up after enduring all the side effects. I wanted something safe and effective which Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is. I have absolutely no side effects. My pharmacist, who compounds the hormones for me, has written letters to my insurance company describing all the FDA approved ingredients that are in the medications. It is unfair to discriminate and punish users of compounded hormones when FDA approved ingredients are being used. We want to put healthy ingredients into our bodies and not chemicals. These hormones actually help prevent a host of ailments that chemical hormones do not. Chemical hormones can actually cause medical conditions. Please do not place restrictions on a natural medication. Thank you.
