“My daily life is impacted by the freedom we have to use cBHT....”

I have a lifelong history of hypothyroidism. Over the years, I have taken many forms of thyroid medications, somewhat of necessity as the different brands become ineffective or unavailable.
At the moment, I am taking a cBHT prescribed for me by my naturopath. Of all the supplements I have used, this is by far the best. My doctor monitors my blood test and discusses my symptoms and adjusts the prescription accordingly. The ability to adjust the different components of thyroid medication is a huge benefit over standard medications. There is ongoing communication between my doctor and I, and there is real and objective data via blood tests, as well as my subjective feedback. As a result, I have felt better than I have in years. As a patient, my daily life is impacted by the freedom we have to use cBHT. I wake early and easily, something every thyroid patient knows is a blessing. My energy is constant throughout the day, also a blessing as I have an aging father to care for and 3 grandsons who need time with their "Nana." If it weren't for my compounded thyroid medication, my days would be a slog. I simply can't afford to be less than the best I can be. Life is too busy and too short.
Please consider this testimony as proof of the need for the continued availability of cBHT. The government should not have the right to interfere in the lives of its citizens. Health decisions such as this are not the purview of government.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Cynthia Seaney

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.
