“Switching to natural bio-identical hormones and doing great!”

I was first prescribed the synthetic hormones by a family physician when I was in my 50s and experiencing difficult pre-menopausal symptoms. As a result, I grew large uterine fibroids (by over-balance of estrogen), which resulted in the necessity of a hysterectomy.

Then, five years later, after my body was almost completely depleted of hormones, my naturopath prescribed the bio-identical hormones. My sleep improved, my skin is ever-so-soft and pliable, and I don't worry about increasing my risk of cancer. My hormone levels are checked bi-yearly to keep the proper balance.

I trust the "natural" approach way, way more than "synthetic"! I have seen only good results in the last seven years I have taken the bio-identical hormones, and I do not want to be without them.

I feel the bio-identical hormones certainly aid in "keeping me young". I recently re-married at age 69, and have had no trouble that many post-menopausal women complain about! I feel young, and my husband compliments me on my skin all the time.

Please don't take away this valuable option for women's and men's health and well-being! Thank you.
