Sometimes, we are led to believe, Mother Nature needs a helping hand and hormone pills or patches or injections to give it a boost. Or, we are told, what could be safer, using women's hormones as a form of contraception? The benefits outweigh the risks, we are told. 

What could be more natural and safer? Plenty! Consider the facts before you pop any of these pills or consider treatment using steroid sex hormones and drugs which affect your natural hormones.

This site is secular. The webmaster has objections on health grounds -- NOT moral or religious grounds -- against the use of these drugs. 

The reality is prescribed sex steroid hormones are powerful chemicals, many times more powerful and cruder than a woman's natural hormones.

They are immunosuppressants, just as much as corticosteroids, suppressing the immune system and replacing the natural hormones with chemicals, disrupting the natural systems of the body.

Some women react badly straight away to synthetic sex steroid hormones. If they are lucky, they stop taking them and escape with their lives. Some are not so lucky.

Other women take these powerful sex steroid hormones long-term. Over the years, side effects creep up on them. Side effects which are then often diagnosed as full-blown medical conditions.

Sometimes these women never associate these conditions with the powerful chemicals they have been taking for years. Sometimes they suspect something, but are persuaded otherwise when their healthcare providers assure them it has nothing to do with the "hormones" prescribed for them.

These drugs are often prescribed for young girls and women for menstrual irregularities, suppressing their menstruation and menstrual cycle instead of finding the root cause of the problem.

Sometimes these individuals sense there is an adverse effect on their health, but fear coming off the drugs and the return of the original menstrual problems which also affect their general health. Long-term they can develop serious medical problems they never had before taking these sex hormone steroids.

The sad fact is that many girls, women and their families are not told about and do not realize how dangerous these drugs are until it is too late.
