Now that yet another class action suit is going out against birth control pills, specifically Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella, it is time to tell the truth about synthetic birth control.
Due to the purpose and mind blowing profit of birth control, I doubt the medical community will ever have the guts to tell the truth about birth control. I have nothing to gain or lose by telling you the truth.
So here it is: The Pill and it’s patchy and implanted friends are dangerous hormone imposters that carry too much baggage. Just as the Hormone Replacement Therapy study concluded Rx hormones prescribed for menopausal issues ended up hurting the body more than help, so too is birth control becoming a real bag of worms. Hence, the law suits.
Did you know when a woman takes birth control pills for more than seven years her fertility rate drops 50%? Many young girls start at age 11-13 years old for acne, cramps, moodiness or irregular periods. If she continues to take The Pill through early marriage for actual protection against pregnancy, her fertility rate drops even more. Have you noticed how many women now need fertility drugs? Why do you think that is? By the way, fertility drugs are synthetic hormones, too. The drugs given to someone preparing for any type of medical implantation will take hordes of estrogen to build a nice thick endrometrial lining and then once ovulaiton takes place, tons of progestin to keep the baby where it should be and avoid miscarriage. Talk about a jacked up hormonal mess!
Typically women who were hormonally imbalanced in their youth have it pretty rough when they hit their menopausal years, even more so if she took Rx hormones. Sadly, the doctor will surely prescribe some sort of synthetic estrogen and now we have a typical American woman on synthetic hormones virtually her whole life.
Any woman on synthetic hormones for any length of time, for any of the discussed issues, runs the risk of heart attack, pulmonary embolism, stroke, gall bladder problems, DVT and deep vein thrombosis.
However, the greatest hushed risk is breast cancer. It angers me beyond words that women are not told the truth about the link of breast cancer and synthetic hormones. Over 80% of breast cancer is what is called estrogen receptor positive, which means basically it is caused by too much estrogen. Progestin, a synthetic, ugly version of the happy hormone, progesterone, has over 100 side affects, including cancers and is highly concentrated in birth control.
Amazingly, companies that make birth control and other toxic drugs also are the biggest breast cancer “researchers” and promoters of The Pink Ribbon campaign. What hypocrisy! Give money to the very companies giving us breast cancer! Take note: High amounts of breast cancer showed up in the United States less than a decade after The Pill came to the United States. Hmmmmm… you connect the dots.
Women come to me regularly, with their storie of hideous side affects. I have a niece who lost all her hair by taking birth control pills and a daughter in law that had a blood clot from using the Nuvaring and ended up in ICU for three days, numb on one side of her body with a blood clot. Men are beside themselves unable to understand the monstrous transformation of their wives. Marriages are being destroyed due to hormonal issues, whether caused by or worsened by Rx hormones.
I had a young woman tell me just the other day her doctor told her that the Implanon birth control implant was not a drug but natural. It was that conversation that made me come to my DRAFT box and finish this article. Implanon is natural and non-synthetic? Excuse me! It is the same hormone, etongestral, used in the Nuvaring, which is now being sued and will surely end up in a class action suit.
Did the doctor lie to her? I doubt it. She was probably ignorant. I have sympathy for a physicians lack of education; they are very busy and have little time or energy to research. With all that said and done, ignorance is not bliss when you are playing with people’s lives! Doctors, could at least read the website of these drugs and see what drug molecule they are prescribing and what the side affects are! They could hire their staff to do it and give them the Cliff Notes on it. It takes minutes!
With all due respect, OBGYNs do not know much about treating hormone balance. They certainly know nothing about natural medicine. I know this because in my early years of hormone education, I used to visit doctor’s offices, kind of like a natural health rep., to educate them on these matters. I was scheduled to do a continuing education series for the doctors at N.E. Medical Center, but was cancled when they feared the doctors might take too much flack for adhering to natural medicine practices. God’s honest truth!
We must become educated about these issues because we cannot count on our doctors to teach us. The initials M.D. do not stand for “medical diety.” They don’t know everything and would be quick to tell you, they really know so little.
There are safe ways to prevent pregnancy and heal a hormonally imbalanced body. Your doctor will not prescribe them because they are not big money makers for the Rx companies and therefore not taught to physicians.
Sadly, a doctor’s continuing education is pharmecuetical reps. These drug reps or drug teachers are paid commissions and incentive trips and dinner parties for drug sales. Doctors are awarded the same incentives to write prescriptions. Not just for Rx hormones, of course, but for all drugs.
I dont’ know. I really don’t understand American medicine. Well yes I do. We have to follow the money train. Sigh…
You are your best health advocate. You have to know the risks verses the benefits of anything you put in or on your body. I am here to simply help untangle the mixed messages and give you suggestions on how to take control of your body. If you aren’t controlling it, someone else is!
