When I was about 53 years old, the menopausal hot flashes, fatigue, and brain fog were taking a toll on my mood and stamina to be a good wife, mother, and teacher. I expressed this to my daughter's therapist (psychiatrist), at the time, and she suggested I take medicine for depression and psychosis. My husband thankfully threw a fit and said to visit Dr. Ann Auburn, our naturopathic physician. I did. She tested me and prescribed a troche (for the estrogens) and a capsule (progesterone). They worked for me beautifully to restore me to my previous healthy and happy self! I have used them for many, many years. I am now 68 years old, and am still using them, even after a recent hysterectomy about a year ago. I also have a very fulfilling sex life thanks to them.

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.
