Birth Control Risk & Deaths

A very good friend of mine sent me an email recently containing the shocking details of Nicole Dishuk's death caused by birth control. After fainting she was rushed to a near by hospital where they discovered a blood clot in her neck that later traveled to her brain and eventually killed her. Nicole was said to be using a birth control that prompted her cycle only every three months. After doing research I have found that these cases are popping up everywhere and women are dying as young as 16 from these deadly side affects. Ortho Evra alone is cited as the cause of 23 deaths with 17 of them being in the past two years.

Contraceptives such as Yaz, Ortho Tri-Cylen, and Ortho Evra contain a hormone replacement called Desogestrel that was found in studies dating back to 1995 to double the risk of blood clots in women using birth control.

Birth control has been said to be the cause of blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, and depression. It has also been said to raise the risk of infertility, breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, and thromboembolism.

Now ladies I do not mean to tell you not to protect yourselves. What I'm trying to say is don't be afraid to tell that brother to RAP IT UP!!! It may save your life.

Stay Healthy,

Sabrina a.k.a Ms. Thang
