The Safety And Viability Of Menstrual Suppression

I am putting this out here for the simple reason of inspiring thought about the mindset of the medical establishment, i.e., the same people who are killing us and mutilating our children with their bad diet advice.

I submit that one reasonable interpretation of the piece supports the notion that medicine's job is to re-engineer the human, an interpretation that is bolstered when one considers the malpractice known as bariatric surgery.

There is a real disconnect between what is "medically necessary" and what might be "humanly necessary."

It likely does not help that this expert is on the payroll of a pharmaceutical company that stands to benefit from the sales of menstruation suppressing drugs.

And the new drugs they will develop to fix the not yet discovered problems caused by menstrual suppression.

Think about it.

"More than the two thirds of the women in a national survey say that they are interested in suppressing their menstrual periods but many of them aren't sure if it's safe. Yet when physicians are polled, 97 percent say that continuous oral contraceptive therapy to suppress menstruation is, in fact, medically safe and acceptable...

'The gap between physician and patient understanding concerning the necessity of monthly periods is obvious,' said Dr. Barnhart, Associate Professor and Director of Clinical Research for the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology. 'It is our hope that based on these findings physicians will begin to more readily initiate dialogue with their female patients about continuous therapy -- helping to eliminate the misconception that periods are a medical necessity and to emphasize the safety and viability of menstrual suppression.'...

'Menstruation is not medically necessary. Now that we have products that have proven to be safe and effective at suppressing menstruation, we can offer increasing options for women.'...

Study findings are based on research conducted by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals. Dr. Barnhart has served as a consultant to Wyeth Pharmaceuticals."

And while you are thinking about it, every now and then remind yourself that these are the same people who cannot cure toenail fungus.
