To say that my bioidentical hormones keep me from ripping people's heads off and kicking them down the road might be an overstatement, but the impact is not. They keep me balanced, physically and emotionally, they are compounded specifically for my situation and are adjusted periodically, and they are safer than the HRT products on the market. In a fire, this is the first thing I would grab - that is how important they are to my physical and emotional well-being. Anyone who needs a bioidentical hormone prescription should be able to get one, wherever they live, and without any interference from a government body, especially one overly influenced by the world of traditional pharmaceuticals. There is a place for traditional pharmaceuticals, but in this case, bioidentical hormones are a much better option for women like me who need the hormonal support but don't want to be overly medicated or suffer unfortunate side effects from cookie cutter HRT's.
