I had successfully controlled my menopausal symptoms on cBHT for many years, but my new doctor insisted on changing me to Rx hormones simply because he did not believe in compounded. I took the FDA-approved Rx for one year under his care, while still suffering with daily symptoms. After a year, I changed to a new doctor, who was outraged by the ignorance of the previous doctor, and put me back on cBHT. I take them every day and have been been without symptoms (or side-effects) since. cBHT has better results than Rx hormones.
