I am on a very low dose of the compounded hormone- a level that cannot be achieved with synthetic hormones. I have always reacted badly to hormone manipulation (i.e., birth control pills, etc.) and this is the best way for me to get relief from my menopause symptoms. This should continue to be an option for women who do not react well to synthetic treatments. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Deal with any concern through regulation not restriction.
