 I having been taking bio-logically identical hormones since November of 2004.



Prior to that time I suffered from depression and anxiety for over 20 years and was on anti-depressants for 9 years.  The anti-depressants did not relieve my depression.



Beginning in 1995 I could no longer think well enough to do my job well and I struggled greatly to try to keep up.  In 2002 I was fired from my job as a Human Resources Manager because my short term memory was so bad I could no longer think well enough to do my job.  In 2003 I took a job doing telephone surveys because I had scripts on a computer screen and did not have to remember much to do my job.



Since taking bio-logically identical hormones I have gotten off anti-depressants and my depression, anxiety and memory problems have all been resolved.



Bio-logically identical hormones restored my health, my marriage, my income level and my life and have helped many others do the same.  I urge the government not to take away my right and the rights of others to take bio-logically identical hormones.  I honestly do not know what I will do if this happens.  It will be detrimental to my health and my entire life and the lives of those around me.



Drug companies fear the effectiveness of bio-logically identical hormones because of the corresponding monetary lose it means for them.  This is not a good reason to take effective drugs away from the public.
