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.

cBHt has greatly enhanced my life in many ways including improving my sleep, has regulated my mood and sense of well being. I have more energy and the desire to do the things I love again including exercise. Although, it's not something I would normally talk about, I no longer have painful intercourse, (that had become pretty unbearable). Needless to say, this has greatly improved the quality of my husband's life as well. I am very grateful for cBHT and Dr. Farnesi for his thoughtful care and wisdom. I feel so much better and my two boys have their mom back too!

I am very sensitive to hormones and FDA hormones do not come in the amount I need. I take 10mg of progesterone. If it wasn't compounded I would have to live with about 20 hot flashes a day.

I am 64 years old and have been on cBHT since the start of menopause when I was 53. This has greatly enhanced my life, giving me better sleep, sex, and peace of mind. Please do not take this medicine away from women. This would be tragic and irresponsible. I would never take Big Pharma hormones. Too many women I know went down that path and regretted it. Many have died and or suffered with cancers. cBHT has restored my quality of life and I am so grateful that a natural alternative is available for women. Do not take nature away from us, that is absolutely not okay.

I have been using cBHT for close to 15 years. I am now 64. I started to use them to ease into menopause, and it worked. I didn't experience all the side effects I thought I would during menopause. I was able to work with my doctor to tweak the cBHT to suit me personally and over the years I have never felt better. I feel so much younger and have a great libido into my middle 60's. I feel really balanced and really couldn't be happier.

I began BHRT following my hysterectomy 11 years ago. It changed my life for the better. It stopped my hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and vaginal dryness. I've had bone-density tests taken and the BHRT seems to have provided some protective effects in that area as well. I did not respond well to traditional creams and hormone therapy. My body only responded to bioidentical hormone replacement. For patients like myself, there is no alternative. Please continue to allow BHRT to be available.

Arizona Phoenix“I had a very irregular and painful period. Birth control pil...”
I had a very irregular and painful period. Birth control pills drove me crazy because of the amount of estrogen. I went through a very bad menopause and finally the doctor realized that bioidentical progesterone would be the answer. I have never been more in balance or happier. They are my happy pills. I have been taking them for more than 20 years.

Arizona Scottsdale“I did my research while in perimenopause and knew I was goin...”
I did my research while in perimenopause and knew I was going to select BHRT if I had symptoms during menopause. The conventional HRT has proven to be dangerous (horse urine, really?). Sure enough, as soon as I stopped taking estrogen through my birth control, I experienced hot flashes, loss of hair...etc. So my doctor prescribed a small dose of BHRT and we had to tweak it several times until my symptoms disappeared. I decided not to go with pellets due to the inconvenience of having to go regularly and have someone implant something in me, or the cream (messy) so I chose troches compounded for me and it's the best decision I took. I sleep well, no hot flashes or night sweats, no hair loss and I feel great! One size fits all medicine is outdated - compounding pharmacies are a must.

I now have my energy back and can function normally without severe mood swings. Before the hormone therapy, I gained weight, felt tired and unhappy. Now I am back to having energy and feel like I have total control over my moods.

I began having a variety of negative body symptoms when I turned 50. I had a variety of tests to figure out why my symptoms were occurring. An acupuncturist told me to have my hormone levels checked and they had tanked so low. I started seeing a Naturopathic doctor and began taking bioidentical hormones which has stopped the symptoms and ill effects I had been having with my body. They have been a God send.

It's a God send to not have to deal with the irritability, night sweats and moodiness anymore. I feel so much better when taking the hormones and it's natural. I don't like the idea of putting synthesized or manufactured pills in my body. It would be severely detrimental if we could not keep getting this compounded.

It has helped me with my sense of well being, emotions, cognitive abilities and physical symptoms. At age 55 I had a complete hysterectomy and it left me with many symptoms that almost left me disabled in my relationships with others. I was not comfortable taking synthetic prescriptions. All natural compounded medications have worked very well for me.

As a woman, I have been able to age rather naturally with cBHT. The hot flashes and mood swings as well as vaginal dryness and other effects of menopause are mild or non existen now. Bioidential hormones is a choice and it is one I am happy to have. To have the choice to care for myself with hormones that are natural and mimic my body as opposed to manufactured drugs is a choice I want to make and deserve to make. I feel like myself, and I feel great at 53. I do not have any additional side effects that arise from bioidentical hormones. I am afraid I would if I went the Big Pharma route.

Arizona Phoenix“The main reason bioidentical hormones are so important to me...”
The main reason bioidentical hormones are so important to me is because they are crafted based on my individual physical makeup and testing of my exact levels in my body. The standard hormone replacement therapies were all standard doses of the individual hormones. Throughout the years, my doses have been adjusted based on my body changes. I have been on this compounded therapy for about 20 years and have felt that my quality of physical life has been maintained. I also feel that there are fewer risks of cancer causing side effects with the bioidenticals. I would hate to see this option removed from a patient/doctor. These options have proved very helpful for so many.

Bioidentical hormone replacement is far superior to a lab created, synthetic HRT since the body recognizes it as natural (its own) and it does not carry the health risk (cancer) of synthetic products. How dare the Feds, the FDA and Big Pharma take away my freedom to make my own choices. Follow the money!!! You must think I am uninformed!!!

I began using compounded BHRT (as a cream) many years ago when I began going through menopause. The positive benefits were noticeable immediately in terms of bone health (osteoporosis prevention), brain health, and cardiovascular health. I have a wonderful pharmacy and I've worked with an excellent Functional Medicine Doctor who has monitored the dosage and positive effects of the therapy over the years. It would be very detrimental to all aspects of my health if I was forced to give up this vital treatment.

Menopause at age 40 was pure hell for me. Nothing helped; I tried eating tofu and taking supplements from the vitamin department. When my Naturalpath doctor suggested Bioidentical compounded hormones, I jumped right for it, praying for sleep at night and a better mood. I saw a difference within the first few days. I am 70 years old and dread the thought of not being able to get my compounded hormones.
