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.

I am a flight attendant with celiac. I had many problems with mental and physical health. My hormones were so low. I took lozenges for 25 years for a productive and healthy lifestyle. I am 75 and have no health issues.

Before my cBHT therapy I could barely make it through the day! I had extreme fatigue, joint pain, and absolutely no energy. Now, I can keep up with my three young boys and have energy to spare! cBHT therapy has literally changed my life.

Texas North Richland Hills“It's like night and day! Insomnia, brain fog, anxiety, anger...”
It's like night and day! Insomnia, brain fog, anxiety, anger/irritation, inability to control body temp (hot flashes to freezing cold) ALL have gone away. I simply feel NORMAL! I was taken off all hormones for a month when I had a breast cancer scare and the lab lost my results. ALL those symptoms came back and now that I'm menopausal, there was a new symptom: increased belly fat and I eat low carb and workout hard and lead a very active lifestyle. Once I restarted the hormones (no breast cancer), ALL those symptoms went away. Plus they're a safer alternative to synthetic hormones which, I might add, don't have the combination I need!

I wish you could understand how bad my symptoms were. I've been on cBHT for several years, without any side effects (which are common with synthetic hormones). I'm grateful cBHT was an option because it has drastically improved my quality of life.

Texas Prosper“When I first sought medical help, I was in an extremely busy...”
When I first sought medical help, I was in an extremely busy CFO position that was very stressful. I found I had a racing heart, chest pains, very foggy thinking, couldn't concentrate, and had aches and pains all over. One doctor said I had chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia and I kept looking. An infectious disease doctor said I had zero inflammation in my body but I showed all the classic hallmark signs of low testosterone. After starting the cream, I was myself again in about two weeks, slowly emerging from a deep fog of constant pain, forgetfulness, ineffective at work, missing appointments, not able to enjoy life or exercise or anything- I hurt constantly. I cannot imagine my life going back to that. Now I am thriving, zero pain, my thoughts are clear, no chest pains- the stress of knowing something isn't right but not being able to fix it, is gone. We have the answers to fix so many and it's life changing!

The bioidentical hormone therapy has greatly benefitted my life. I would never taken traditional prescription treatments for any reason, but the safety and effectiveness of the bioodentical compounded hormones has given me a calm, easy way to enter menopause. It has balanced things that were too low and eliminated mood swings, hot flashes, and vaginal dryness. My energy is better, overall wellness has improved, and many other symptoms have improved. My husband, children and friends have benefitted from a better me as well. I pay a lot of money out of pocket for these prescriptions and have the right to chose what is best for me and my body. The FDA must stay out of what is working! Leave the alternative medicine world alone! It is MY right to chose which I want!

I started losing my hormone balance in my twenties. I'm now 50, and because of bioidentical hormones, have better health and look younger than most of my friends at the same age. Bioidentical hormones are a safe alternative to horse urine derived hormones which increase the risk of cancer. I am also a health provider, and know the benefit/risk ratio as a professional.

Tennessee Knoxville“I started going through menopause early and could not tolera...”
I started going through menopause early and could not tolerate synthetic hormones. They made mevery sick. I finally came across BHRT and it saved my life. I can tolerate it. I take prog caps, test and biest cream, and I have been on this for many years. I cannot go without it. Many women suffer with menopause symptoms that are horrible. Women should not have to suffer like this and be depressed when there is an alternative like biodentical hormone replacement. God bless this therapy.

Marilyn S.
Tennessee Chattanooga“I started cBHT therapy at 36 years of age due to severe brai...”
I started cBHT therapy at 36 years of age due to severe brain fog and mood swings. It helped me to think more clearly and to be more stable emotionally. I have used it for 28 years now. My gynecologist asked me to stop, so I weaned myself off over eight months. I could not keep from sleeping 12 hours a day and thought my mono had returned. This was for weeks as I waited to see my PCP. My PCP said to take my hormones that night to see if it was the reason. I did and I woke up again and returned to my life as normal. These compounded hormones are made for just me and can be adjusted as I need them. I tried regular hormones before and I gained incredible water weight (became anorexic to stop weight gain). When I was so sick, I quit them and lost 15 pounds in a week or two. I was very ill. I need compounded, made-for-me hormones. Please do not take them from me.

I had a complete hysterectomy in April 2018 and tried going without HRT for some time. I had been on and off several different formulations for years but the bioidentical hormone replacement therapy I have been prescribed has saved my life. No more migraines, lethargy, horrible sweating and brain fog. I feel so much better with my current therapy.
