I have never liked conventional medicine and as soon as I started getting hot flashes I saw a holistic doctor for help. I have had amazing health and no side effects since, as the compounded hormones are created for exactly what my body requires. This was confirmed when I found out that regular hormones by a conventional doctor would have been too high for my body and would have been an overdose for me. I was told that the minimum dose of testosterone would be 200mg when my prescription is 0.1. Medicines etc. need to be created for each individual person and their needs and not just a blanket minimal dose for everyone. I have had great health ever since I was put on the BHRT.
