It has come to my attention that the FDA is seriously considering restricting the use of cBHT based on a report from NASEM that DID NOT include patient outcomes. How is this possible??
When it was time for me to receive medication for HRT my gynecologist at that time prescribed the usual pharmaceutical prescription. It has been so long ago, I don't remember exactly what it was. If necessary, my medical records can be checked through my current gynecologist, Dr. Tempest Allen (Kalamazoo, MI). I was ill for several weeks before realizing the only thing in my life that had changed was the new HRT prescription.
My symptoms were headache, nausea and extreme fatigue. I was unable to work because of this. After stopping the medication, my health returned to normal. After discussing this issue with my physician, he recommended compounded hormones and recommended the health care professionals trained in determining the correct levels of hormones for my body.
This type of hormone replacement did not make me ill and permitted me in living up to my full potential. Better health and a stronger body allows me to contribute more fully to my community. I submit this is reason enough to allow patients to continue with the prescribed protocols without interference from the FDA.
