For the last 10 years I have prescribed compounded BHRT and I have seen the significant difference in all aspect of my patient's life.
I have changed several of my patients from synthetric hormones compounded hormones and I can tell the difference as well as my patients.

Me as a patient I have used cBHRT for more than years with excellent results.

I started suffering loss of hormones 12 years ago. It took two years, but thank God for BHRT. I was hot and sweaty and absolutely miserable. The hormones took all my symptoms away. They are like a miracle for me. I would hate to have to live life without them!

I am a woman in surgical menopause for 18 years. No one explained to me the grave impact on my body and mental well being that having my ovaries removed
would cause me. A woman’s ovaries that produce all sex hormones are incredibly necessary for a plethora of functions in a body. I fell apart after my surgery. I no longer was the woman who I once was and I did not want to live. I started hormone replacement therapy and unfortunately, I was one of those women who are difficult to balance hormones and tried EVERYTHING out there that was FDA approved. I settled on compounding hormones because they can be custom made for my needs and additionally do not give me the side effects that the more potent FDA approved hormones gave to me. I have gone on to live a very fulfilling life another 18 years on hormones and cannot function with my compounded hormone therapy.

I was in a bad way before I started with bio-identical hormone treatment about a decade ago.

I was anxious, depressed, suicidal and once, I even had a flash of a homicidal thought! It scared the heck out of me.

I had talked to my doctor, but he said the only way he knew was birth control and anti-depressant, but I had previously been on both with terrible side-effects.

I happened to talk with a friend and she suggested a woman that worked with bio-identical hormones.

It was a multiple step process. After the test results came back, I was sitting in the office waiting to hear the news.

It was a bad day that day. As I sat in the chair, I felt like a volcano was trying to go off inside me. It was hard to keep my emotions in check with so much inner turmoil.

The pharmacy was kind enough to rush my order and so I picked up the hormone cream on the way to work and used it that night, and then the next morning.

By 24 hours after my appointment and only 2 applications I was back to my normal, happy self. It was nothing short of miraculous.

I cannot express enough fury and indignation that the government is attempting to regulate something that is natural and normal. BIO-IDENTICAL means it is identical to our natural biology NOT synthetic.

For me, pharmaceuticals and synthetics have caused horrible side effects including anxiety, depression, and suicidal desires. The last birth control option I tried caused me to want to drive my car into a semi-truck. I never took a birth control pill again.

Yes, my natural hormone imbalances caused similar issues, but instead of creating more issues or exacerbating the issues, bio-identical hormone cream SOLVED them.

I was without hormones for 17 very long years. I had no quality of life. My physicians would not allow me to take hormones due to my having had two breast cancers. I could not sleep, I had horrific anxiety, the health of my vagina was failing and I could not make love with my husband. I had been in school to become a physician's assistant but had to stop due to my not being able to remember anything and I was unemployable as I could not stay awake or remember anything. I had every symptom a women possibly can have most unwanted and life to me was never fun -- all of my joy was completely gone. I felt like a dead weed all dried up and had hot flashes - 40 per day. 17 years of this was a living nightmare. I did finally meet the amazing physicians who understood that hormones help us - they do not harm. At age 59 I was given hormones - compounded bioidentical hormones and now at age 63 I work full time and I interview a world renowned menopause specialist twice per week and I am finishing up my first year of school. I laugh, I am able to sleep again, I am enjoying life. For me to live as I was without hormones was not living and it was awful. I cried daily for no reason, felt depressed and lethargic. My husband felt so helpless as to how to help me. Compounded bioidentical hormones were my lifesaver and never ever will I go off of them. Protecting my heart, brain, vagina, bones and muscle too is vital to me to do. I feel 100% safe in taking my hormones prescribed to me by a well trained doctor who does not wish to do any harm to me. Menopause is a specialty as is dosing correctly. Copying nature is not a bad thing - it is a good thing! We women and men need these we do. To take them from us would be a huge tragedy for almost10 million women and many men too. Thank you for reading my testimony. It is very important to all of us. Carolyne S. Los Angeles

Since I am a breast cancer survivor and unable to take regular hormone therapy for vaginal atrophy, the only relief afforded me is through compounded hrt.
I have been taking this compounded hormone for the past 6 years and have benefited greatly from improved quality of life. Without it, I would have to risk a hormone regimen that would put me at risk for more breast cancer. Not an option I want.

They are effective and work better for me than non-compounded medications. I have been using compounded medications for at least 9 years and they make the quality of my life so much better. Please, please do not make access harder or unaffordable.

Sincerely,
Lauren Mapleton

My journey started 7 years ago. I woke up one morning and my hands and joints were swollen. I when to urgent care and was referred to a rheumatologist. They determined I didn't have arthritis but had no clue what my problem was. I choose to see a Naturopath. I had determined that I had a thyroid condition and adrenal fatigue. After some blood work the naturopath said you are correct. It took over three years to discover that my body doesn't convert T3 to T4 and pig hormone Synthroid didn't work for me. We finally decided to try a compounded pharmacy. It has been the best thing for me. My Hashimoto symptoms are so much better. This is one of those times when western medicine doesn't work and I need doctors who could think outside of the box to help me. I know that I wouldn't be able to physically function if I couldn't take my compounded T3/T4.

My name is Vida Witcher. I am 59 years old. I have been using bio identical hormones for nine years. I feel happy with no aches and pains and my sharp mind always surprises my husband. I look young for my age and I am in perfect health. I know without a doubt that these are the results of taking hormones.
Taking hormones is my choice and my right and it is between me and my doctor.
Law makers are supposed to be on People’s side so please be on my side. Let me live my freedom. I don’t need you to decide for me if bio identical hormones are safe. They are safe and I am the proof.
Thanks,
Vida Witcher

I've been a cyclist since my early 30's. I typically cycle 4-5 times a week for about 35-55 miles each time. I noticed a few years ago that I could not ride as well - neither as long nor as fast. I became tired, lethargic, very lazy feeling. I also started to feel depressed and very negative about life in general. After comprehensive exams and blood work, my doctor recommended that I take testosterone since my levels were apparently under norm. I started to take the compounded hormones and began to feel better. After a short time I was energized, positive in my outlook, and found I regained my sex drive. I feel great now, cycle with my husband, and even have the energy to help care for my grand children when needed. I believe the hormones have made a tremendous impact on me and my life.

In January 2018 my ovaries that were left from a partial hysterectomy completely stopped working! And the doctor would not allow me to be on estrogen pills for the danger of cancer. And she found that Regel PharmaLab would compound the hormones my body needed to help me stop having hot flashes every two minutes! This BHRT really have been a lifesaver for me! With them I’m able to sleep through the night again - without hot flashes waking me every two minutes.
Not to mention helping my dry skin and dry body parts to no longer be dry!
I cannot imagine going through life without them!

I have been on bioidentical hormones for most of the past 2 decades. I was off for a couple of years due to moving and being unable to find a doc to prescribe them. Now, back on again and in awe of the many positive effects. My energy and vitality are back. I once again have my creativity and clear thinking, joy and enthusiasm for life. Let's not allow these natural solutions to be taken away from us!!!

I’ve had hot flashes that have woken me from a sound sleep for ten years. Yes, you read that correctly. I hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in a decade. I had seen Perimenopausal and Menopausal Specialists. I had tried herbal supplements with varied and sporadic success. I had doctors telling me that I must be depressed! I was not depressed. I was tired! Sleep deprived. HRT has worked for me. I’m finally sleeping again and a number of other hormone related symptoms have been alleviated too. Listen. There’s a reason they use sleep deprivation as a torture device. Until you have experienced it, you cannot imagine the agony. HRT was a lifeline for me.

My doctor recommended Testosterone injection treatment several years ago. I have been on this treatment twice a week for the past 5 years and have noticed a difference in higher libido as well as strength. I have checkups including blood work every three months and this treatment really works for me.

At almost 50 years of age with hyperthyroidism my thyroid gland was totally ablated with RAI. At that time my peri-menopause became menopause. A physician prescribed Premarin and a very negative experience followed with multiple side effects. Obviously my body was not accepting the Premarin so I discontined this drug. A friend introduced me to the cBHT. After beginning this therapy there was a feeling of calm in my body with absolutely zero side effects. To this day at 74 years of age I continue to take this hormone therapy and will until I die. This natural estrogen and progesterone balances my body and has enabled me to gracefully grow old .......more youthfully than many peers not taking natural hormone therapy. I am blessed.

I began om cBHT in 2014. I wanted natural alternatives for hormone replacement; not something synthetic ot synthesized from animal product. As a vegetarian, it's important to me what i put into my body.

Since starting my cBHT, Ive maintained healthy hormone levels, successfully treated insomnia and lowered my blood pressure.

Please keep CBHT as a natural option in medical care.

The personalized compounded hormones benefit me greatly. They level my moods and have greatly helped with bladder leaks. These hormones compounded especially for me have given me a much improved sense of well-being.

When I had a hysterectomy 11 years ago, I was placed on synthetic hormone replacement therapy and became extremely depressed. I was then introduced to bioidentical hormones or compounded hormones that were made for me specifically based on my scientific needs. As a result, I have been able to live a much fuller life without extreme mood changes that were a constant interference in my life. I cannot imagine my life without them and I implore you to continue to allow my pharmacy to make these essential medications.

I have a lot of health issues with hormone imbalances. I was not functioning until I started NATURAL hormone therapy. The FDA does not need to be in control of everything we do! It is one more thing they want to control and manipulate for profit reasons to line they’re own pockets. This is still a free country but barely anymore because CDC and FDA are trying to control Everything! Please do not allow them to say synthetic hormones are allowed. That is allowing the drug companies to monopolize on purpose! We are not stupid! It isn’t their business.
