I have a rare disease called Adrenal Insufficiency (AI.) My pituitary gland does not work and I must take oral cortisol and cBHT hormones daily in order to live. Basically, if I do not take cortisol and cBHT hormones DAILY, I WILL DIE.
WHY DO I NEED cBHT HORMONES INSTEAD OF A PILL?
1. Hormones taken in pill form must go through the stomach and then they are filtered through the liver. This means you have to take MORE medicine to achieve therapeutic levels. Additionally, most people (I am one of those people) are unable to metabolize certain drugs...back to the liver problem, AND a genetic enzyme problem. Solution: compounded cBHT.
2. Most hormones in pill form (and their fillers and binders) are very harsh and cause stomach upset and thining of the stomach lining. Going back to number one on my list, taking more pills increases damage to your stomach. More pills, more damage to your stomach, and then you die. Solution: compounded cBHT.
3. The BEAUTY of compounded hormones (cBHT) is that the drug delivery system is through the skin - the body's largest organ! There is NO STOMACH UPSET. The rate of drug absorption is immediate. Enzyme metabolic problems are greatly reduced. Again, the SOLUTION IS cBHT.
DO NOT TAKE AWAY MY FREEDOM OF HEALTH CARE MEDICATION CHOICES. HEALTH CARE CHOICES ARE MADE BETWEEN A DOCTOR AND A PATIENT.
Thank you.
