With Hoshimoto's Thyroiditis, one needs to be on bioidentical hormones to help the thyroid hormones work. Compounding allows better results in every way and improves my medical condition greatly.

With Hashimotos Thyroiditis, my hormones were completely unbalanced- the lack of thyroxine caused a spike in cortisol etc., the end result:- all hormones were out of balance. I went from a high functioning CFO to house ridden on disability until my hormones were corrected through compounded HRT. My body, my choice.

I have been taking NP Thyroid for a few years now and it has definitely improved my quality of life. I have more energy, less anxiety and no longer have a racing heart rate. I am so happy that my Naturopath prescribed it for me. I feel good knowing that it's made from bioidentical ingredients since I tend to live a healthy lifestyle as much as possible.

I am on a compounded version of T4 (Thyroid medication) for hypothyroidism. When I was first diagnosed, doctor's tried to prescribe 'cookie cutter' synthetic drugs at predetermined dosages. My body does not tolerate synthetic, lab created drugs very well and I tend to have harsh, adverse reactions. The only 'natural solution' was to use pig thyroid which contains T3 & T4 hormones, which my body does not need. So, the only way for me to get a natural, plant based version of T4 ONLY, and in a dosage that can be controlled by my doctor vs. predetermined by Big Pharma, was to utilize a compounding pharmacy to create my thyroid medication. I have been taking the compounded version of this hormone for 10 years and have thrived, with no adverse reactions. If the federal government changes my and others ability to access these compounded medications, we will be at a greater health risk having to switch to synthetic, chemical laced drugs that our bodies may not be able to tolerate. In addition, we will be forced to look for these medications in other countries, which could negatively impact our health as well. The federal government should not be in a position to limit my choice and access to natural medications needed to survive.
