I am a 57 year old male quadriplegic. Men with spinal cord injuries age at three times the rate of an able-bodied male. When I was 40 years old my energy began to wane to the point where it became difficult to get out of bed each day. My doctor at the time prescribed pharmaceutical testosterone which was applied topically. This worked well for about a year before the effects began to diminish and became nominal. It was then I learned about bioidentical hormones and the Wiley Protocol. Within a week of starting the regimen I began feeling the return of my energy, and in two weeks I felt better than I had in 20 years. I have continued with the bioidentical hormones according to the Wiley Protocol since. My energy levels remain high. I experienced no negative side effects from the bioidentical hormones. The loss of this health care option would prove devastating to my daily life.

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.
