Menopause was a Breeze!

“Menopause was a Breeze!”

At age 50 I went to a new doctor for the first time. I had just spent four months as the primary caregiver for my mother who had just died of cancer. While caring for her I read Suzanne Summer's book Knock Out and in it the chapter about Dr. Wright's amazing work with bio-identical hormones to prevent breast cancer.

The hormone tests revealed that I would benefit from compounded Biest, and Progesterone, which I started using immediately. I was pre-menopause and as a result of taking these compounded bio-identical hormones formulated just for me, I sailed through menopause without a sleepless night or a hot flash. Additionally, I believe that menopause created the onset of anxiety and depression in both of my sisters. Because my hormones continue to be balanced by my compounded prescriptions, I am free of the depression and anxiety medications that my sister must take.

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.
