I have been using a bioidentical hormone for over 20 years, and the positive impact on my life has been immeasurable. I live my life fully and enjoy every minute of it, thanks to the benefits of my bioidentical treatment. Because I am female, and this hormone helps to regulate all aspects of my life, should the FDA restrict it's use, I fear I may have to take a manufactured drug or worse yet, an anti-depressant. Yes, I truly believe bioidentical hormones are a miracle compound that have prevented me from having mental health issues. Unlike other women my age, because of these hormones, I have escaped many problems that plague women taking manufactured drugs: irritability, loss of enjoyment in everyday activities, and depression. Additionally, I have experienced NO side effects from the bioidentical hormones. I know this is not necessarily the case with manufactured drugs. On behalf of all women and men using bioidentical hormones, I beg the FDA not to restrict the use of cBHRT; it has benefited my life and will continue to do so. After all, every person should be able to use the product that works best for the individual, not what is mass produced for millions and has the potential for side-effects. Big Pharma is not always best!
