Menstruation

FDA

approves pill that stops periods; is womanhood a disease? (opinion)

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.

This

desire to eliminate the symptoms of disease rather than addressing the

underlying cause of poor health is a uniquely Western approach to health

treatment. Americans mask joint pain with deadly COX-2 inhibitor drugs, they

mask nutritional deficiencies with antidepressant drugs, and they mask poor

cardiovascular health with statin drugs and blood thinners (which are made from

rat poison chemicals, by the way, and that's not an exaggeration). It's like

taking your car to a mechanic and instead of the guy fixing your engine, he

just takes a can of spray paint and sprays over the engine warning lights on

your dashboard.

Problem

solved! No more engine warning lights!

Women

who take Lybrel to stop their periods are, in my opinion, doing the same thing

with their health. And they're potentially taking a huge risk since no one

knows the long-term consequences of such blatant disruption of normal hormone

cycles. You can bet, however, that the results won't be positive. Although this

is just a guess, I believe that long-term use of such synthetic chemicals may

greatly increase the risk of hormone-related cancers such as breast cancer and

cervical cancer.

They

may also cause blood stasis in the abdomen and could very easily, in my view,

result in increased endometriosis and severe reproductive problems.

Both

the manufacturer of this drug and the FDA, of course, say this chemical is

perfectly safe. Then again, FDA-approved pharmaceuticals are right now killing

100,000 Americans each year, even when used as directed. Just one drug, Vioxx,

reportedly killed well over 50,000 Americans according to the FDA's own senior

drug safety whistleblower, and yet the FDA voted to put that drug right back on

the market!

The

hysteria of modern medicine

In my

opinion, any woman taking Lybrel is embarking on a foolish experiment with her

own health. It is not merely a dangerous course of action to pursue, it is the ultimate

surrender of personal responsibility for one's own health. It also admits to a

male-dominated medical system that womanhood is, indeed, some sort of terrible

disease that requires treatment.

Note

that the words /hysteria/ and /hysterectomy/ (the surgical removal of the

uterus) have the same word roots. That's because a /hysterectomy/ was a

procedure originally developed by men and used as a surgical weapon to make

women " less hysterical. " It was long believed that the uterus was an

organ that caused insanity! In reality, the organ that no doubt causes the most

insanity is the penis, but that's another story... notice that you don't see

male doctors recommending /penisectomies/ as a cure for male insanity.

Although, indeed, we would all be much safer if the arrogant men pushing these

nonsense pharmaceuticals weren't so cocky to begin with. Only women are advised

to have their organs removed for emotional reasons. You ever notice that when

it comes to cancer treatments for such organs, there's a cry to " Save the

testicle! " but " Remove

the breast! " ?

(The

word /menstruate/, by the way, has its roots in Latin, where the word /mensis/

means " month. " It has no relational meaning to the modern English

word " men. " )

Men

have always dominated Western medicine, and they have always used chemicals and

surgeries to control or dominate women. Even today, the male-dominated breast

cancer industry is a for-profit system that preys upon women through harmful

mammograms that actually cause cancer and produce shockingly high rates of false

positives. As I've stated in previous articles here on NewsTarget, mammography

harms 10 women for every 1 that it helps. Conventional breast cancer treatment

is largely a medical hoax where men use fear to control women by corralling

them into treatments where they can poison them with chemotherapy or slice off their

breasts. (Sound insane? It is.)

My

advice to women is to *learn from your painful periods* rather than trying to

dissociate yourself from them. A painful period is a messenger that's trying to

tell you something. Perhaps you need to take a new look at your diet, your

lifestyle and your use of toxic cosmetics and skin care products that disrupt

normal hormone cycles. *Painful periods can be transformed into painless

periods through natural medicine*. Chinese medicine is especially good at

supporting this transformation. Diet plays a huge role, too.

Take

responsibility for your health rather than abandoning it.

Solving

the health problem rather than simply masking it is the responsible thing to do

with your body. It's not an overnight solution like the seductively easy Lybrel

pill, but it is a far wiser and more wholesome solution that honors your body

rather than hijacking its natural functions. Chemical are not the answer to

your health problems.

They

are merely seductive, harmful synthetic substances that will inevitably produce

harmful side effects.

I wonder if it will turn out to cause cancer, or any number of a group of other symptoms because of manipulating hormones.

There have always been meds to stop menstruation - "the pill" stops menstruation and many hormone based meds do also

[Guest guest]

And what are the "side" effects of the pill, besides a removal of the effects of reproduction, conception? I haven't studied the pill. But, from what I remember, cancer can be a result, and especially if certain other behaviors are present while using it. I don't remember the other behaviors at the moment. Flustered over something else.
