Many women are now questioning taking the birth control pill. But they better not say anything about it online. The Washington Post is now attacking individuals who even question the side effects of birth control and Big Tech is banning these women from talking about the actual science.
Trust the science actually means “trust us.”
What’s the nightmare scenario for these insane leftists? Men and women getting married and having children. That’s their nightmare.
You can only find happiness as a cog in the capitalist machine or as a dependent of the Big State. That’s it. The elites must be viewed as the foundation of civilization, not the family.
If you replace contraception and abortion with marriage and family, you don’t need the state, other than for law and order, which is one thing they don’t provide anymore anyway.

I have too much to say on this….Ideology is influencing science like never before. When the false research of smoking was revealed, it showed us the elephant in the room. THe mis-applications and public manipulation of science during covid made us stare at the elephant while ‘leaders’ said it wasnt there. Now that ideology is reworking science to conform to its dogmas, we lay there with the elephants foot hovering over our head ready to be crushed.

BC has major side effects- I used the Depo shot as a young, naive college freshman and has severe vitamin deficiency, major depression and weight gain. There’s huge vitamin deficiencies that result from the artificial hormones affecting absorption in the gut. NONE of this is discussed when you go on BC. And I used the pill for a good 5 years after the Depo shot.
Now, as an early 40’s perimenopausal woman, I have gone back on a low dose form of BC for relief of my symptoms. I have to take BC form instead of the outright hormonal replacement therapy because insurance deems me too young to be perimenopausal and won’t cover it as hormone replacement until I’m 50.
Oh, and I discovered the vitamin deficiency (B vitamins!) only after trial and error- soon as I went on BC again, my energy levels started declining in a gradual manner. Luckily I’m an engineer and nerd and researched it- we’ve known about vitamin deficiency since the 80’s and NO ONE HAS TALKED ABOUT IT AS A REGULAR SET OF ADVICE.
So, I’m here for all your perimenopausal readers, spreading the word.
Our women’s health is seriously lackluster in this country.
That said, BC has its place, but masses upon masses of women don’t need to be on this pill as a one size fits all solution.
Rant over :).

its understandable. The litany of side effects in the PDR (physicians desk reference) dwarfs that of most other drugs (and that is taking into account that all drugs have multiple side effects). But hormones (steroids) have an outsized impact as they initiate cell signaling cascades and are centrally positioned at key metabolic steps. Think about the snowball that causes an avalanche. Then imagine it impacting all the mountains nearby…of course there are huge numbers of side effects – steroid hormones trigger multiple pathways and detectible/functional changes in a cells protein composition.

No need to ever take bcp’s. Poor medicine.

True. Most of its use is as a lifestyle drug. A small percent take the comparable hormone for medically valid reasons (which there are). But to avoid contraception is overtly a lifestyle choice…the one that has made other errors possible.

Hormonal therapy has proven to be useful in maintaining bone density, mental acuity and muscle mass in Peru and post menopausal women.
Birth control, yes- no need to take medicine to fix what isn’t broken.
But to say there’s no need to ever take birth control pills ever- especially on my case experiencing many symptoms of menopause in my early 40’s paints it with too broad a brush.

Peri menopausal. Guess my autocorrect thinks I’m talking about Peru?

bcp’s are never necessary. obgyn docs are taught to preescribe them for acne, irregular periods…. Napro technology ( dr Thomas Hilgers) is on the cutting edge of obgyn problems. He is at Creighton Universty.
