“I was changed from Big Pharma hormonal replacement by Bastyr...”

I was changed from Big Pharma hormonal replacement by Bastyr University Clinic in Seattle many years ago. My doctor keeps me on it for the good it does my body and inner organs. The FDA has already restricted the therapy once some years ago. I can only assume that some very big money interests are out to restrict this further now if not eliminate it so people have to take regular pharmaceuticals instead thus financially benefitting larger moneyed interests. And the so-called "research" that is being put forward is, I am sure, nothing more than done in the interest of large money firms, not in the interest of patient care. We need to be reminded in this country that we were founded on the basis that the people need to be protected from the government overreaching its authority.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
