“struggled with synthetic thyroid pills”

Could not find a balance when my thyroid died and my primary western doctor provided prescriptions for synthroid or levothroid. I struggled for years until I met and went under the care of a naturopath. She tested my thyroid levels and said she could do much better with bio-identical hormones compounded at a specialty pharmacy. She offered a 3-way call with the pharmacist and herself so that they could explain to me what to watch out for as they slowly increased my thyroid amount to give my body a chance to experience a very narrow range of "normal". I now have enough energy and feel completely normal again, in every activity that I do, every day.

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.
