United States
In the United States, millions of people depend on compounded medicines to live normal, productive, healthy lives. Their first-hand stories speak directly to the power of this important therapy. As the FDA considers removing access to certain medicines like compounded hormones, their voices must be part of the conversation.

The compound is effective regarding mood, bladder health, and I believe it has helped keep my cholesterol in check. It helps with sleep and keeping my body and hormones in balance. I feel normal when using the cream and I am on no medication because the cream helps me stay healthy. I like the bioidentical hormone cream because it is natural ingredients. Manufactured chemicals are not natural which I believe are harmful to a human's health.

Colorado Cascade“When I was advised to get a full hysterectomy at only 32 due...”
When I was advised to get a full hysterectomy at only 32 due to a cancer scare, my doctor advised me to take traditional pharmaceutical hormone replacement therapies to "manage" my forced menopause. It was a disaster, as my body is highly sensitive and the medicine he prescribed created intolerable anxiety and inflammation. So I stopped taking them. For years, I went untreated. Eventually I felt so "depleted" that I sought treatment from a doctor well versed in holistic therapies. When she checked my bloodwork, she found my hormone levels were very far below optimal levels and prescribed bioidentical hormone therapy for me. Under her care, I've now been on bioidentical hormone replacement therapies for four years. At 58 years old, I have never felt better. I believe in health freedoms when products are found to be safe and effective. I would be devastated if this safe, effective, life-changing solution was taken from me.

I have been taking bioidentical hormones for over 20 years. They definitely balance my life. Just a few years ago, I went into a phase of little/no sleep and felt panicked and very afraid. I had my hormones rechecked and when the results came in, there were adjustments that needed to be made and very shortly after that, I became myself again and felt "normal." They make a big impact on my life and I will be very concerned it they will not be available. I appreciate that they can be compounded to what my body needs.

Virginia Alexandria“When I had symptoms from menopause, I went to my gynecologis...”
When I had symptoms from menopause, I went to my gynecologist and thank goodness she tested my hormones. She said if I had gone to a regular doctor, they would have said I needed estrogen. But, my estrogen levels were so high she said if I had taken it I would have had a nervous breakdown, because I was so stressed and depressed. She saw my progesterone levels were extremely low and also testosterone was low. She was one of a few doctors in the area doing hormone replacement. I started progesterone cream and testosterone cream and within three weeks I started to feel like myself again. No depression or sadness or anxiety. I have been using these two creams for 10 years. I have a new doctor and he tests me every year and adjusts the dose if needed. These hormone creams have saved my sanity. I will continue to use them.

My testosterone level was low and I always felt extremely fatigued and experiencing ED problems. Thanks to cBHT, I now have energy and am not experiencing ED. My doctor continually checks my hormone levels to ensure they stay at the correct level. cBHT has improved my quality of life with absolutely no side effects.

I started taking cBHT after menopause and did lots of research about it. Premarin wasn't an option for me due to my sister and mother's death from cancer. Dr. Ray Carlson counseled me on what I could use after testing was done with my OBGYN. I was in bad shape due to lack of hormones. After taking Estrodiol vaginal syringes and Progesterone cream my life improved so much. Intimacy improved my relationship and I wasn't depressed anymore. I have gorgeous skin and an overall happiness that I hadn't had due to lack of hormones before taking cBHT. These positive changes didn't take long to improve my life for I was on a regime of cBHT with the expertise of my OBGYN and compounding pharmacist Dr. Ray Carlson. I would highly recommend cBHT to anybody that wants a happier, healthier, and safe life due to lack of hormones. I don't believe that I would feel this good without taking them. What a godsend to my life of pleasure and joy.

I have had extremely low-T. It was around 100. I am 66. I had no energy, thinking struggles and no sex life at all. After starting treatment within two weeks I started to have a lot of energy, no sleep issues and after five weeks, my spouse and I are sexually active at least once a week! I love my life again. I did the head scan for the pituitary gland and went for a sleep test as well. Nothing is causing the low-T anymore. I am now in the normal range and have been for about two years. I still feel great! I never want to go back to that miserable life!

When I went to the doctor for blood work and for an overall health check up, the levels of my hormones were pretty much non-existent. I knew I was struggling in pretty much every area of my life, but had no idea it was my hormones. I was also having issues with bladder infections on a regular basis and it was a great concern to me. So after having started with cBHT, I'd say within a month I knew there was a definite difference and I was amazed! From then on, life has come back and I feel amazing, back to my old self with renewed confidence! I tell everyone that I meet who appear to be struggling, that they may need to get their hormones checked!
I can't thank you enough!

Using compounded bioidentical hormone therapy has been a game changer for me and for my life. I would not have taken traditional hormone therapy because of the risks and feel much safer with this form of hormones. I did an extensive amount of research before beginning BHRT and would not have begun hormone replacement the traditional route.

There are many benefits to taking cBHT, especially as we age. I have been on compounded hormone therapy for many years and would be devastated if the government stepped in and decided what was and wasn't good for my health. I have trust in my compounding pharmacist. I will be 80 soon, work as a shipping manager in a machine shop and I believe hormone replacement therapy created for me keeps me going.
