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.

“Honestly, I was physically and emotionally a mess before beg...”

Honestly, I was physically and emotionally a mess before beginning cBHT. I sleep better and have more energy, but the biggest change has been in my mood. I'm happier and more able to handle difficult situations. In one word ... stable. I was very unstable and overly sensitive before. So thankful for cBHT!

“This product has helped me enormously with hot flashes that ...”

This product has helped me enormously with hot flashes that I still experience at 71. It also helps me to sleep better, and in general enhances my health. I was not able to afford the pharmaceutical hormone replacement therapy, and so I sought out other options, and found this. What a blessing. I don't have to suffer through hot flashes and other issues relating to diminishment of hormone production in my body. This is so important to me!

“First of all, I needed HRT because of my dysautonomia. I gen...”

First of all, I needed HRT because of my dysautonomia. I generate too much cortisol and therefore not enough hormones. In addition, the dsyautonomia and mast cell disorder causes me to be very sensitive to synthetic hormones. Earlier in my life I tried to use an implanted birth control and my body actually rejected it, causing horrible cramping and expulsion. My life is so much better with compounded bHRT!

I used to get terrible muscle tears in my back from simple things like carrying suitcases. That completely changed when I used cBHT to get my testosterone to a reasonable level. It also allows me to do dance lifts which were not possible before and allows me to keep in shape, doing things I love to do.

I take a prescription cream compound of testosterone and chrysin which is prescribed by my Naturopathy doctor. I am 67 years old and my golfing buddies are ages 45-55. I keep up with them at all levels, and they keep asking me "how old are you?" I feel great and look great. I couldn't do it without this compounded medicine. I look forward to a long and healthy life of active retirement.

“I was exhausted and not interested in intimacy at all. I had...”

I was exhausted and not interested in intimacy at all. I had a total hysterectomy at age 43 with no hormone replacements so I went immediately into menopause. After years of feeling miserable I tried cBHT and I felt like I had control of my life again. Energy and activity levels rose, as did interest in intimacy. I felt like a total human again.

“I have been using a bioidentical hormone for over 20 years, ...”

I have been using a bioidentical hormone for over 20 years, and the positive impact on my life has been immeasurable. I live my life fully and enjoy every minute of it, thanks to the benefits of my bioidentical treatment. Because I am female, and this hormone helps to regulate all aspects of my life, should the FDA restrict it's use, I fear I may have to take a manufactured drug or worse yet, an anti-depressant. Yes, I truly believe bioidentical hormones are a miracle compound that have prevented me from having mental health issues. Unlike other women my age, because of these hormones, I have escaped many problems that plague women taking manufactured drugs: irritability, loss of enjoyment in everyday activities, and depression. Additionally, I have experienced NO side effects from the bioidentical hormones. I know this is not necessarily the case with manufactured drugs. On behalf of all women and men using bioidentical hormones, I beg the FDA not to restrict the use of cBHRT; it has benefited my life and will continue to do so. After all, every person should be able to use the product that works best for the individual, not what is mass produced for millions and has the potential for side-effects. Big Pharma is not always best!

“Without this prescription I could not have sex and the dryne...”

Without this prescription I could not have sex and the dryness of my vagina was noticeable when I walked. Please do not change my ability to have this precise hormone formula compounded for me. The standard formulas created breast tenderness and other bad outcomes. This precise dosage determined by my doctor and pharmacist together has been a godsend. Do not change this.

“The use of a compounded hormone therapy (with estradiol) rem...”

The use of a compounded hormone therapy (with estradiol) removed lesions in my cervix, led to passing PAP tests, improved the moisture in my vagina, and improved sexual relations. My compounding pharmacy always provides pharmacist instructions when picking up my prescription. The pharmacy is clean. Also, the cost is significantly cheaper than using a prescription from some place like Walgreens. I understand that this cream is not as dangerous as taking pills. Please allow the use of this cream to continue!

Before taking compounded progesterone, my hot flashes and night sweats were so debilitating that I was not able to function and lost many days of work. Since taking compounded progesterone, my life has dramatically improved.

cBHT has improved my mood, brain fog and sleep patterns. It has helped with my heart palpitations, and has evened out my estrogen levels. I just feel great with the improvements that a natural hormone therapy has done for me.

I could not live without cBHT and the compounding pharmacy has made it affordable for me. The hormone I use would cost six times more than I pay at the compounding pharmacy. Using a compounding pharmacy makes it affordable for me and for those who do not have drug insurance.

I benefit greatly from my hormone therapy. It stops vaginal pain that is excruciating for me and helps prevent urinary tract infections. All this was brought about by a traumatic delivery of my first child.
