I am deeply distressed to learn that Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy Drugs are under attack. I have been using them for 10 years, and they have literally saved my life. I am unable to use conventional medicine, and I was delighted to find, all those years ago, that there was a better alternative. Please understand that there are so many of us who feel this way, and whose lives would be seriously compromised if we were unable to obtain our Bio-Identical Hormones. We refuse to use conventional hormone therapy for ethical reasons, as well as for health concerns. I have done much information gathering over the years about various hormonal health-related issues, and from what I understand, conventional hormone therapy is far more dangerous. I have NEVER had a problem with my Women's pharacy products. Before I began taking them, my peri and post- menopausal symptoms were so severe that I thought I was going to die. It began when I was in my mid-40's.
I am thoroughly disgusted by the actions of the major pharmaceutical companies; it seems that their aim over the years is to keep us from obtaining more holistic, less harmful medications. This makes me, and many of my friends and acquaintances see red. We know only too well how dangerous many of the mainstream pharmaceutical products are, and a lot of us refuse to use them, when we know that there are safer, more holistically oriented healing medicines available.
Thank for your attention.
