“Bio identical hormones saved me mentally and physically!”

When I got the note that the FDA possibly wants to take away bio identical hormone therapy I literally had a panic attack and broke out in tears! I was on synthetic hormones for years and it caused me to have a hysterectomy and almost all of my hair eventually fell out! This was so devastating to my self-esteem and I never wanted to hang out with my friends let alone look in the mirror every day. After working with a naturopath who understands progesterone versus progestins and the harsh effects of horse urine she turned my life around! Bio identical‘s stopped my hot flashes that were happening every hour on the hour, they helped me to sleep, they helped with my mood and anxiety, my hair started to grow back, and my confidence and libido were restored!! Also, I had a bone scan that showed osteopenia in my left hip and lower back. Since I have been on hormone therapy after a couple of years I got another bone scan and I actually showed improvement in my bone density! I did nothing different except for bio identical hormones, which is why I am willing to pay for them out of pocket. The FDA and pharmaceuticals that want to mess with this is outrageous!! Women deserve to feel well and be well. If we can’t get insurance to cover this and we are willing to pay for it out of pocket then they need to leave us the hell alone! Please please please tell the FDA to stop this bullying with our hormones that don’t have the terrible side effects!! I’ve done both for years and there is NO COMPARISON to how much better my life and hair are doing on my compounded bio identical hormones!!!!

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
