Subject: Hormones

If you remember a month or so ago I mentioned that a new study

focused on using hormones on Autistic people was under way in New

York by the NIH because someone accidentaly found that this hormone

eliminates fear in the autistic patient. Someone from Weyth drugs

must have been listening. Looks like they want to change history in

order to grab the big pot of gold.

I sent in a response and you should do it too if you have time. Also

please pass this along to others because the more the better. I am

willing to bet that this is aimed at us, The autistic families with

everything to lose.

Stop Wyeth and the FDA: Your Hormones Are in Danger

Bio-identical hormones are in danger, and we must act quickly to

protect your right to use these safe, effective, natural therapies.

Wyeth, one of the world's pharmaceutical giants, filed a Citizen

Petition with the FDA requesting that compounding pharmacies be

prohibited from providing natural hormones - and we only have until

April 4, 2006, to stop them.

Show Me the Money

For years, Wyeth counted Premarin (conjugated estrogen) and Prempro

(Premarin and synthetic progesterone) among their bestselling drugs.

However, since 2002, when a large, well-publicized clinical trial

showed that these drugs increased risk of breast cancer, blood

clots, heart attacks and strokes, sales have plummeted from more

than $2 billion in 2002 to $880 million in 2004.

The petition, which is rife with inaccuracies, is supported by a

number of medical societies and patient advocacy groups that have

financial ties to Wyeth. In fact, even the FDA has financial ties to

Wyeth, reaping in the form of " drug user fees " required by the

agency. Folks, this isn't about protecting women from the " dangers "

of natural hormones. It's about protecting Wyeth's bottom line.

Let's Fight Back

We must hold off this threat to freedom of choice in the medical

marketplace. Voice your opposition to the Wyeth petition at the FDA

website. Simply fill in the required information, followed by your

comments. Here's what I wrote:

" You taking away my right to have a compounding pharmacy fill a

prescription for bio-identical hormones (hormones identical to those

made in the human body) because Wyeth is losing money on horse

estrogen and synthetic progesterone is unconscionable. I vigorously

oppose your attempts to do so and will oppose them for as long as

necessary to maintain my freedom of choice in the medical

marketplace. "

Act today. The comment filing period ends on April 4, 2006.
