From the article: probably one out of every three blood clots that I see in women is from the use of contraception.
He didn't say 1 in 3 women on the pill develop clots. He said of every three women he sees with clots take the pill. Not exactly the same thing is it?
(And as I've said before, I don't write prescriptions for OCs)
I noticed that too.
Even many years ago, before I was a practicing Catholic and was just a hippie girl gardener, I used to say I'd never put anything in my body that I wouldn't put in my compost pile.
And so now, a couple million cycles of endocrine disruptors are flushed into the waste-water systems monthly via hormonal contraceptive-using women’s excreta. And I see that the male fish and amphibians in the Watauga Watershed (we drink from the Watauga watershed) are developing eggs in their testicles. I wonder if there is any reason to believe this won’t affect other vertebrates?
I have young male vertebrates in my family. Yolk proteins in their seminal vesicles and increasingly feminized hormonal profiles --- if that's what's happening --- yeah, that would be a concern for me and for them.
I don't want to be an overreacter. I wouldn't want to draw disturbing conclusions on scant evidence, on no evidence. or against evidence. But--- would you know anything about this?
Thank you for your evident, conscientious, ethical commitment.
