cBHT literally gave me my life back. Lack of hormones affects depression, dry skin, vaginal pain and dryness, muscle loss, and mood swings. Women should always have a choice to use bioidentical versus pharmaceutical. I have had side effects from Pharma hormone replacement and none with bio. Please allow women to make choices for their bodies without seeking financial gain of any sort or political involvement. My physician does bloodwork every six months to maintain my levels. I personally feel the risk are minimal at best. I have three friends who have had breast cancer in there fifties. None of which have ever taken hormone replacement.
