“I started bioidentical hormones at age 44 shortly after the ...”
I started bioidentical hormones at age 44 shortly after the birth of my fourth child. I felt a difference shortly after starting. The best evidence I have of how well they work is from the two times I had to stop using them. The first time was when my husband lost his job. I was a stay at home mom so finances were tight. I decided to save money and stop the hormones. After a couple of months, my husband offered to replace my old computer. That evening I told him I would rather get back on my hormones. I went for an appointment later that week and was able to restart the treatment. Shortly after restarting, I felt the best I had in probably my whole life; like when I was a young woman. The second time I stopped was when I had to have a breast biopsy. The company line is that hormones cause cancer. I stopped. Going in to my follow up appointment after surgery I talked with my surgeon about how I was feeling. I told her I may not get cancer but I'm going to go crazy. My mood was all over the place. I was a mess. I spoke with a cancer specialist and we agreed my hormones were not a huge risk for me. I restarted and felt the positive affects almost immediately. I have many friends who do not use the hormones that I do. They do not sleep, their skin is awful, they are hot flashing, they are moody. I am so thankful, and so is my husband, that I am on these hormones that have me living a normal life. I feel great, I sleep great, and I have never had a hot flash. I recommend these to everyone.

It has been life saving for me- I have been on it for 22 years. Please. I am an educated woman who can make up her own mind and have done extensive research on cBHT. Do not take away my quality of life!

“I started experiencing pre menopause symptoms early and I we...”
I started experiencing pre menopause symptoms early and I went to my OBGYN and he tried to put be on birth control pills again at age 38 along with very expensive migraine medicine. I refused to take birth control pills. I suffered for several years and then my doctor recommended Premarin and after doing much research I was absolutely horrified at what is in the pills and how they go about getting the urine. Finally a friend recommended natural hormonal therapy. I've been on natural compounded hormonal replacement now for 12 years and I feel great! I was experiencing weight gain, fatigue, depression, lack of mental clarity and sever emotions and irritability and since being on all natural hormone replacement therapy I do not suffer from those symptoms. Over the years I have become an advocate for all natural hormone therapy because of the positive effects it's had on my health and well being. My physician closely monitors me and I have blood work every 3-4 months to make sure all my levels are where they need to be.

Since I was diagnosed with low testosterone, I got on cBHT and it has worked excellent for me and my overall quality of life for the last five years. My health improved, blood pressure improved, my mood improved, my sex life improved, quality of erections improved, anxiety and depression went away. I can't say enough good things about it, it's the best decision I've ever made to get on TRT, and I havent had any negative side effects..

“I have two autoimmune disorders and when I approached menopa...”
I have two autoimmune disorders and when I approached menopause my symptoms were awful. The night sweating, headaches, fatigue, rashes, etc were terrible. Doctors put me on estrogen and progesterone pills. Needless to say, I felt WORSE! I was sick when I took these hormones. I then found a physician who suggested I use the compounded bioidentical hormone cream. This is a much better way to control the amount of hormones in your body. You can easily put less or more on depending on symptoms. Everything you ingest goes through your liver which can be harmful. I have had many friends die from breast cancer and ovarian cancer. None of them were on hormone replacement. Women in their 20's and 30's are raging with hormones and they do not all have cancer. I know many people who are on compounded bioidentical hormones and they do not have any cancer including myself. As the old saying goes: my body my choice. If I choose do do compounded bioidentical hormones that should be my choice. FDA approved drugs from the drug store all come with a phamplet that states all of the side effects which is about two feet long and included on there is death. There is no justification for eliminating compounded bioidentical hormones. Many women's lives are being saved with this hormone replacement. Xanax and anti-depression medications are widely prescribed to menopausal women to alleviate all of the negative symptoms and disease that occur due to menopause. These all have terrible side effects including increase risk for cancer. If they used hormone replacement they would not need those psych drugs. Women in menopause are entering the last years of their life and they should be able to have a good quality of life. Banning compounded bioidentical hormones is probably due to the fact that pharmaceutical companies cannot patent a natural substance and therefore not making money. Women who are on compounded all natural bioidentical hormones are much healthier than those who are not. Hormone replacement actually keeps people healthier, gives them quality of life and every man or woman should have that right. Women are given the choice to murder an unborn baby and that is perfectly legal. I just want to be able to put some cream on that makes my life a whole lot better. Government has bigger fish to fry than my hormone cream. I will choose and worry about my own safety.
“In 2009 and at the age of 42, my menstrual cycle just stoppe...”
In 2009 and at the age of 42, my menstrual cycle just stopped due to extreme marital stress. For the next three years, I felt I was aging at high speed. My body was wearing out. My joints were achy and wrinkles were setting in on my face. Deep lines were developing on my forehead so I grew my bangs back. My skin and hair were thinning and my face was starting to sag. Mentally, I felt as if I were slipping. My memory and focus were affected and I felt as if my ability to just converse like I used to was affected. It all really started to affect my mood and outlook on life. I finally decided I had to do something. I found a great doctor who tested all my hormone levels and formulated replacement for my low levels and noticed immediate relief for my diminished mental and physical capabilities. It improved my mood too. I am a bit of a health nut, so I chose a Doc who worked with bio-identical hormones. I've done alot of research with the vitamins I take and strive to get the less synthetic more bioavailable options. They are more expensive, but worth it. Compounded pharmaceuticals are truly lifesaving for me. Tailored bioidentical hormones restored me and are of great comfort to my mental and physical well being. I can't believe that their availability should ever be in question.
“After my total hysterectomy, I started convention therapy. I...”
After my total hysterectomy, I started convention therapy. I tried pill combos and patches. Patches ate my skin away, with very little theraputic help. The pill combo made me crazy. I researched compound therapy and decided to try it. This was 30 years ago. It was like I started a new life. I could sleep better, no mood swings, and had no skin problems. The only problem was finding a doctor that felt comfortable prescribing it and a pharmacy that was near to me to compound my individual medication. After years, I have a doctor and a pharmacy and they tell me the government it going to take it all away. Where is our freedom to chose?
Please don't do this! I am 73 years old now and until I found cBHT my life was hell. I have been using this for over 30 years. And it works.

I started for pre-menopausal symptoms and have moved into menopause. I had aches and pains, depression, debilitating hot flashes, fatigue and mood swings. It was impossible to spend time with me, I was so horrible to be around. Hormone therapy has evened out my moods and helped with aches and pains. My hot flashes are minimal. I feel like enjoying my life and the people in my life.

“I lost an ovary when I was 30 years of age due to an ovarian...”
I lost an ovary when I was 30 years of age due to an ovarian cyst went into immediate menopause. At that time due to recommendations of current doctor I started taking manufactured hormones. At that time there was a big promotion to caution women not to take manufactured hormones due to women getting cancer. Some time after that a friend recommended her doctor who was trained in compounded therapy. So in the 90's I started taking compounded bioidentical hormone pills. I was delighted not only for health reasons the cost was substantially lower. Never once in all the years I have been taking had any problems with taking the Compounded Hormones. If I miss one or two days of not taking the compound hormone I notice a difference in my feeling of well being. If the FDA for what reasons I do not know restrict the use of compounded hormone replacement therapy it will have a profound negative effect on my health and well being. I am now retired and live on my Social Security and as I recall from years back the manufactured hormone was triple the cost of compounded hormones. I still to this day do not trust manufacture hormones and I am greatly concerned I will not be able to afford them. Which again I will say, have a profound negative effect on my health and well being. I am 73 years of age and at this time if I have to give up hormone therapy will cause grave health issues for me.

“Prior to my cBHT treatment, I was a complete mess, suffering...”
Prior to my cBHT treatment, I was a complete mess, suffering from severe fatigue, abnormal menstrual cycles three times per month, loss of muscle mass, insomnia, complete loss of libido, and brain fog. Traditional medicine could only offer a band-aid solution to the problem of excessive bleeding with birth control pills that I didn't need, and other synthetic drugs that have been shown to be linked to cancer. After an actual cancer scare and two surgeries, the last thing I wanted to do was to employ any synthetic methods that could remotely increase the risk of cancer. At that point, I started researching cBHT methods and got treatment. Fast-forward five years: my bleeding stopped, I regained muscle, my mood improved - as did the insomnia and libido. I have more energy and my memory has improved substantially as well. I feel healthy and "well balanced." cBHT has substantially improved my quality of life and I couldn't imagine living without it!
