  I am totally opposed to continued oppression of natural health products over the pharmaceutical company's symptom reducing drugs.  



Over the years I have seen mandates and controls set in place by big money pharmaceutical companies while at the same time reducing my options for true solutions to ongoing health issues.  



In the past 5 years we have seen pharmaceutical companies purchase commercial air time at millions of dollars a day advertising their products (with 15 seconds of negative side effects - who wants an erection for 4 hours??) which results in an increase in the cost of their product lines, the consumers insurance, medical care (from complications) and administration thereof.



With the reduction of social security and Medicare benefits and the purported desire to save taxpayer dollars, limiting an individuals options from BHRT or otherwise, is hypocritical as it protects the big money machine or in other words the monopoly.



I am opposed to limiting any individual options as I have tried the other products and the side effects cause depression requiring additional medications (lets medicate and medicate the symptoms caused by the medications).  Since going on BHRT, I am able to sleep and carry on a discussion without the mood swing pendulum.
