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 use a protocol that is not available through traditional s...”

I use a protocol that is not available through traditional sources. There is not a non-compounded version of my medication. I tried all the FDA approved meds and NOTHING gave me the results of the compounded meds. Big Pharma is so in control of the FDA that the FDA has lost credibility. The FDA seems only interested in lining Big Pharma pockets at the expense of individuals' right to choose their own medical treatments. I am so angry that I and millions of women potentially have to find alternative sources for medications that help us, but which do not give profits to the bloated bottom lines of Big Pharma. Compounded pharmacies can be tested for accuracy of dosages and purity of medication. But leave alone the access to important medication. This is nothing but a blatant attempt of others to control my health.

I had early menopause at 28 years old. I have been using compounded bioidentical hormones for 26 years. I have energy and have none of the negative symptoms that crippled my life before I had the correct dose. Such as migraines, joint pain, hot flashes, low energy, and tissue thinning. If this had not been available to me, I would have suffered needlessly. Compounded hormones have been personally adjusted for my situation as I have aged, and the dose has been accurate in a way that I believe should be available to all people through this medium .

I am able to live a more normal life. Sleep better at night and not suffer from the extreme swings I was having with menopause. Since I had breast cancer it wasn't wise for me to take regular menopause medication. I would be devastated without their help.

“The cBHT has made me feel human again. I had a complete hyst...”

The cBHT has made me feel human again. I had a complete hysterectomy at 40 and was put into early menopause before the surgery. At 40 I was hot, manic, foggy, yet I was told that'S normal while going through the changes. I was placed on regular HRT and did not feel any better for five years so I went off of them. I found a bioidentical doctor and received the compounded hormones. Then I finally began to feel normal again. I am 57 years of age and have recovered from hot flashes, anic highs and lows, and depression. It is so strange to actually feel cold now when for so many years I was hot no matter the season. I know from family history my body does not produce natural hormones so I REALLY need my cBHT to function normally. I do not want to thrust back into an unbalanced hormonal world again.

Per medical had me on highest dose of only drug offered per their so called practices. Was in the top five for causing cancer for several years! Felt like shit, nuclear sweats and freezing, was ready to give up!!! Found the compounded protocols and paying out of pocket- there is No help thru any medical treatment with government medicine. EVER!

After an emergency hysterectomy without HRT afterwards, I was a complete mess. Luckily I was able to find a physician knowledgeable in bHRT. I'm now 67 YEARS OLD. FEEL GREAT....NO HIGH BP, CHOLESTEROL OR DIABETES (WHICH ALL RUNS IN MY FAMILY) P.S. - MY MOTHER WAS GIVEN HIGH DOSE PREMARIN AND DEAD AT 56 WITH BREAST CANCER. THIS IS STILL ON THE MARKET AND SHOULD BE STUDIED BY THE FDA INSTEAD OF BHRT.

“I was almost five years post-menopausal when I went to see a...”

I was almost five years post-menopausal when I went to see a women's integrative doctor who prescribed bioidentical Estradiol and Progesterone to help me with my anxiety and poor sleep duration. She explained to me how low estrogen due to being post-menopausal affects my entire metabolism. I was at first skeptical, but wanted to at least try this safe bioidentical hormone to see if it made a difference. After one month, I am a believer. My overall health is back on track and I feel so good every day. I'm very thankful for the availability of this being made to match my own body chemistry and the improvement to my well being. Please don't take this away! So many women can benefit from this therapy if it were better known and promoted by the medical community.

“I've had so many significant improvements since I started us...”

I've had so many significant improvements since I started using cBHT, including with my mood, my energy levels, my sleep, my skin and hair, and my concentration, plus weight loss. I've had absolutely no side effects either! I literally feel like a new person and like a much healthier version of myself. I cannot express how much my life has improved since beginning to use cBHRT and I would be very upset if the FDA prevented people from utilizing them.

“I have been using a blend of Estriol and Progesterone for ma...”

I have been using a blend of Estriol and Progesterone for many years and I believe it's why I am healthy and have decent bone health at age 73. I believe HRT can be damaging because the estrogen utilized can be cancer producing. By compounding estriol instead of all three of the estrogens with Progesterone is mild enough to use for many years. Why would this be restricted? I pay out of pocket for it since it's never been covered and this is a choice I have made. I receive regular check-ups.

It is unfathomable that we are even considering not having these be available in a free society where we can make our own decisions as to our health. KEEP THEM AVAILABLE!

I am a 57 year old female. I look and feel at least 10 years younger due to a combination of exercise, good nutrition, and cBHT. I see a Gynecologist and a Naturopathic Physician regularly. Previous to cBH, I had night sweats and hot flashes. With cBHT I have no adverse side effects from menopause and I plan to continue cBHT for many more years.

In 2018 I became very ill and diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Leading up to this diagnosis I was very stressed from dealing with infertility. Since then I have been on a path of healing. I tried conventional medications for my autoimmune disease and they failed me. The fertility MD did nothing for me. With the help of the AIP diet and a functional medicine MD getting me on compounded hormones and gut healing supplements, I finally feel amazing! My quality of life went from a 1 to a 10 in 2 years. I am a pharmacist myself. I can honestly say conventional FDA approved medication failed me. Those medications do not treat CHRONIC illness. They only mask symptoms. cBHT and the amazing doctors that prescribe them are dedicated to getting to the root cause of illness. I fully support the use of cBHT and recommend them to everyone I know.

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
