Conventional medicine has, for decades, preyed upon the "symptoms of womanhood" and attempted to transform every female activity from childbirth to menstruation into a disease requiring chemical treatment. Today, the FDA approved Lybrel, a daily pill for women that stops periods... forever.
The concept behind such a pill is based on the false idea that menstruation is a disease requiring a medical fix. Most sane people would agree that menstruation is, in fact, a natural biological function and not a disease. So why take a pill to stop it?
If you ask the women taking this pill, it's because their periods are extremely painful or inconvenient. Taking Lybrel to stop the period is a typical Western-mindset approach to all ailments: Mask the symptoms and ignore the cause. Painful periods have a cause, mostly related to hormone imbalances caused by poor nutritional habits, lack of exercise and exposure to toxic chemicals in foods, medicines and personal care products (which contain hundreds of hormone-disrupting chemicals). Rather than addressing these underlying causes of poor health, many consumers wish to simply mask the symptoms and make them disappear at any cost, including ingesting potentially toxic prescription drugs whose long-term safety record is entirely unknown.
Woman also have painful periods due to cysts and or endometrosis. The painful periods are due to these and not always due to poor health care on the part of the woman.
And can I say as a woman who experiences it. I had/have had to take "the pill" to control such things. But I ended up just stopping for all the side effects caused by the birth control pill to control the pain. I just take better care of myself via exercise and eating more iron enriched foods. It doesnt make it all better, but tapers off much of the pain.
Besides the pain. I really enjoy being a woman. I dislike the companies making such meds to "cure my "MEN stration" cycles" - They might as well take me straight into "MEN opause" for that.
My reply and or addition to this would be menstruation = profit from drug companies is really what it comes down to it.
I think they are working on an over the counter prescription for that too
But side effects may include dizziness, poor vision, temporary loss of hearing, vomiting, internal bleediing, constipation, diahrea, water retention, and heart palipitations. People who are on viagra, cialis, aspirin, alcohol, water, apples, and vitamin c, should consult their physicians before taking the new pill....however.
