They are evil. I will not go back on them. I was put on them at 15 because of regularity and heavy flow issues. Turns out I have PCOS and the pill only masks the symptoms and cures nothing. It was just too easy for my docs to put me on the pill without actually seeing if I had a problem. After I went off of them and adopted a low carb diet, I feel so much better. PCOS? Not with a low carb lifestyle! Imagine that. A free cure.
Free cures take money away from those who make money off sickness.
Many doctors start from the principle that a healthy female reproductive system is a bad thing. Therefore, why bother to diagnose and genuinely seek to repair anything wrong?
