Co-Cure: ACT, NOT: Congressional Denial of Access to Bio-identical Hormone Medic

[Guest guest]

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.

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. To obtain the phone numbers of your U.S. Congressional

Officials,
