I love bioidentical hormones and have taken them for for almost 20 years. My general doctor, 20 years ago decided I needed xanax. I never went back. I started bioidentical hormones then, and am still very active now. My strength is great. Let me continue to make my own choices regarding hormones.

“cBHT changed everything for me.”

cBHT changed everything for me. I thought I had other health issues, they did comprehensive blood and comprehensive hormone panels. I chose to also do a UTM lab. With treatment, my symptoms regulated almost immediately. They diminished, I had more energy, clearer thinking, my anxiousness diminished, my overall health was much improved, my hair stopped falling out, my fingernails got stronger, my skin was less dry, the hot flashes ended. With the history of reproductive organ cancers and breast cancers in my family history, I was greatly concerned to simply accept a generic "hormone patch". We are not all the same! I think it is critical for hormones to be addressed accurately, because their importance in our bodies regulation of many systems, organs, cell health, and our unique individual immune system. Why would anyone challenge this very important and critical method of care, unless it would be due to a challenge in profits or controlling / eliminating the treatment? Please allow this very important, scientific, medically accurate method of treatment remain available. My Compound Pharmacist is highly trained, ethical, professional, and a compassionate doctor, and I don't ever want to have her or this treatment method eliminated.

“Before going on BHRT, I was going to the emergency room...”

Before going on BHRT, I was going to the emergency room every three to four weeks with life threatening symptoms, i.e. extremely high blood pressure and blood pressure spikes, extremely heavy bleeding, panic attacks, etc. The pain throughout my body including my joints and muscles was severe. I went through the bowels of hell, but once I was put on BHRT all my symptoms went away. If you take away my right to choose BHRT, you will destroy my life.

“I have been taking cBHT for menopausal symptoms.”

I have been taking cBHT for menopausal symptoms. My physician carefully monitors my health and safety regarding my cBHT. As an RN, BSN, I feel cBHT is completely safe as prescribed. I have enjoyed symptom-free menopause, improved thyroid function, maintained good fasting blood sugars, improved cholesterol levels, and have less urinary tract infections. Please allow cBHT to be available as a tool for our physicians to help their patients.

“The compounded formulation I take has me perfect.”

I have taken Synthroid and Armour Thyroid for my hypothyroid condition and, while Armour got me closer to ideal than Synthroid, the compounded pill formulation I take now gets me absolutely perfect. My internal medicine doctor is very happy with it. I also do compounded testosterone cream and it helps with my energy levels and weight. I used to do compounded progesterone cream, but decided to switch to pills because of the cost. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois and they do not cover compounded medications, so I have to pay for my thyroid medication and my testosterone myself. But it is worth it because I can't get these correct with traditional medications. I would also prefer to do progesterone cream over the prescription pills, but having three compounded medications I have to pay for myself is just too expensive. So I get the traditional progesterone to save at least a little money.
