Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Actually it was Not congress that started this it was the FDA with the bush administration's backing. Congress and the house are in fact our only hope to reverse the FDA's decision. BUt they are Not the cause. ---- bestsurprise2002 9/11/2008 7:25:21 PM MCS-Canada << >> Co-Cure: ACT, NOT: Congressional Denial of Access to Bio-identical Hormone Medic Tue, 9 Sep 2008 13:49:25 -0700 Steven Du Pre <isaiah9 ACT, NOT: Congressional Denial of Access to Bio-identical Hormone Medications Co-Cure Members: Bio-identical hormones are easier for the body to handle and do not have some of the toxic side effects of pharmacological substitutes. Congress for some reason wants to deny these compounded medications to patients. Since patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis oftentimes have deficiencies that need some bio-identical hormone treatment, you might like to participate in the protest that is being organized by Women's International Pharmacy along with a number of other organizations. The details are as follows. The issue: Wyeth, the maker of Premarin=AE and Prempro=AE, wants the FDA to prevent the compounding of bio-identical hormones prescribed for you by your doctor. If Wyeth had its way, it would take away your freedom of choice in medication. With that said, the FDA recently took action to impose harmful restrictions on the compounding and dispensing of bio-identical hormone replacement therapies (BHRT), which includes bio-identical hormone prescriptions that contain estriol. In continuing efforts to recruit additional support from members of Congress for the estriol resolutions H.Con.Res.342 (House of Representatives) and S.Con.Res.88 (Senate), Women's International Pharmacy, as well as other organizations, are coordinating a " Call-In " day on September 10th. The goal is to inundate the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate with phone calls to request reversal of the FDA policy restricting access to medications containing estriol.
