“Bioidentical hormones have helped improve many of my health issues...”

Before I began taking bio-identical hormones I was struggling with depression, severe hot flashes, weight gain, and insomnia. I also have a genetic predisposition to osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s Disease, and watching my Mother and Grandmother suffer from these two debilitating issues was not only heartbreaking to watch but also was very concerning to me as I thought about my future health journey.

After discussing all the above concerns with my doctor he explained how bio-identical hormones could benefit me not only now but could lower my risk for Osteoporosis and even dementia in the future, while at the same time alleviating some of the issues I was experiencing at the time.

I did ask the question about the risk for Breast Cancer and he provided me with resources where I could do my own research and learn more about the difference between bio-identical and synthetic hormones. (There is a BIG difference. )

I decided to try estrogen, progesterone, and a small dose of testosterone. The difference has been astounding as far as alleviating the issues I was struggling with. Prior to supplementing with hormones, a bone scan had revealed that in my early 50s I was already experiencing some osteopenia (moderate loss of bone density). After two years of hormone therapy and lots of vitamin D, my bone density had improved and now, stabilized at the age of 60.

These hormones are vital to my overall health, both presently and for the future as well.

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.
