BHRT (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement) is once again at risk. Please speak up now to preserve
our right to choose what is best for our bodies and health. Even if this doesn't effect you
at present, it may indeed effect your or a loved one's ability to chose a
compounded medication that is more suitable to you.
If you're concerned about your right to choose, now is the time to let your voice be heard.
What you can do:
From the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists-
BHRT At Risk: Take Action to Save BHRT!
Last week FDA made a horrible decision—choosing Wyeth’s wealth over patient health.
FDA agreed to support Wyeth in their campaign to end compounded hormone replacement
therapy—specifically by starting a crackdown on the use of estriol which FDA claims is illegal.

There are many ways you can help in raising awareness
on the effects of
hysterectomy, ovarian removal and the need for safe, effective
hormone replacement options for women.
I began Hysterectomy Awareness 5 years ago, the website that started
with one page has now grown to 36+ pages, offering my own experiences,
and those of hundreds of other women who have been
generous to share
their experiences so that they might help others facing similar circumstances,
as well as research and resources I have gathered.
Helping those that are contemplating hysterectomy,
have already had
hysterectomy and/or ovarian removal, and are struggling with health
problems as a result of severe hormone loss, and those in search of
information and resources on NHRT (Bio Identical Hormones),
IS my life's work, my greatest
passion, and something
I am blessed to be able to do.
My dream is to be able to work on these issues full time, continue to
help other women find resources and information, and work educating the
public and communicating with healthcare professionals and
officials on these crucial issues that effect women's
health and future generations of young women.
I have worked two jobs for the last 6 years, and
spend much of my
spare time working on my website, answering email from women and their
family members, and working on a book of many stories that have
been sent to me over the years that tell such
a tale of women and
their families suffering, and cry out of the need for
change in so many areas of women's healthcare.
I will publish this book, if it means using
my own funds somehow to do it.
I am also in need of physican referrals for doctors
that can help with the complicated issues of:
Women in need of NHRT/HRT who also have diabetes
Women in need of NHRT/HRT who also have thyroid
problems
Women in need of NHRT/HRT who have had cancer
Women with these additional health problems face
special challenges after ovarian removal in trying
to get the appropriate hormone balance.
If you know of a great doctor anywhere in the U.S. in
the area of post
hysterectomy care, endometriosis, fibromyalgia or nhrt/hrt,
please email me and let me know as I am building a doctor referral database.
I am also in need of leads on a publisher who
might publish the proposed book.
Last but not least, if you are a woman who has
had hysterectomy
with or without ovarian removal and have suffered health problems
as a result, you can help by networking with other women, sharing
information and resources. So many women have
hysterectomies
for conditions that there may be other alternatives for and often have
no idea of the potential consequences to their health.
Do not stay silent about any challenges or suffering you are
experiencing, the medical community at large still believe women's
lives are *great* after having all their female organs removed.
