I was given a full hysterectomy at age 42 as I had endometriosis. My doctor was very compassionate and recommended BHT. We started with a pellet, which was not effective enough. Next we tried patches which ended up on my husband during the night. Decided to go with estradiol for a few years before adding progesterone along with that. For several years I was taking these until my Oregon Naturopathic Dr. prescribed me these troches in 2009. I am 75 yrs young and lead a healthy vibrant life. I have always had a healthy sexual appetite and still do. I really feel without this BHT I would have shriveled up into a bitchy prune over the years. Will be happy to send you a current pic as really feel that if you took away my hormones it would be disastrous. Btw, why would the government want to restrict my BHT. Why meddle into my happy healthy life?
