Legislative Alert: Don't let the government restrict your access to natural hormones!

Monday, February 11

Once again, I feel like Paul Revere, reluctantly having to hitch myself up in the saddle and broadcast a dire warning to the citizenry: "To arms, to arms! The regulators are coming! The regulators are coming!"

I've been using natural bio-identical hormones to treat women (and men) for nearly twenty years, with excellent results and minimal side effects. Countless patients are enthralled with the results of this life-changing therapy.

Now the government (YOUR government!) wants to take this option away from you. Following up on a "Citizen's Petition"--not from a group of concerned citizens but from a greedy corporate entity--drug company Wyeth, the makers of synthetic estrogens like Premarin (PREgnant MARe's urIN!)--the FDA is trying to ban bioidentical hormones.

They don't even want us to use the word "bio-identical" because they say it's "misleading"! They would ban it, in direct contravention of the First Amendment.

Wyeth stands to regain a lot of the market share it lost when millions of women ditched their HRT after the 2002 Women's Health Initiative Study showed synthetic hormones were harmful. They would like nothing better than for the government to do their dirty work and eliminate the competition.

You can read about this incredible story at www.homecoalition.org.

This is the beginning of a big fight and we need an aroused citizenry to spread the word and stop Big Pharma and Big Government from colluding to deprive Americans of their health freedom.

I urge you to use the simple template at the Home Coalition website to write the President and your congressmen and tell them that this will be a huge political loser for them, and that they will have millions of enraged constituents to contend with if the FDA gets its way.
