“Saved my life!”

After giving birth to my daughter at the age of 36 through a C-section, and while still on the operating table, the surgeon discovered that endometriosis had spread tremendously and attached to my colon. It was decided that it was best to remove all my reproductive organs. As the lack of hormones spread through my system, I went from a happy normal mom and wife to a depressive, suicidal, mood-swing-crazed person. The hot flashes were out of control, I lost hair, and had dried skin, it was an endless array of issues. I was placed on a typical one for all synthetic HRT which didn't help. After desperately searching and seeing new doctors, and trying new medicines, I came upon Dr. Michelle Starke, my Saviour. After the initial saliva test, she prescribed compounded hormones. My C\compounding pharmacy filled the prescription. I finally began to stabilize and ultimately got my life back. I wouldn't have survived if not for the compound hormone made especially for me. Don't keep other women from having the chance at life after menopause or a hysterectomy.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

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