In recent years the number of women on some form of oral contraceptives has grown considerably even now including girls as young as 14 years-old to treat symptoms such as acne and PMS. With all the hype surrounding this “miraculous pill”, should we be concerned over the danger of oral contraceptives?
While the dangers surrounding birth control pills, particularly increased risk of blood clots, has gained mainstream media attention lately even still oral contraceptives seems to be the only solution offered by conventional medicine. Why? It is frustrating considering the fact that there are safer solutions for pregnancy prevention and relief of painful menstrual cycle symptoms (PMS). While we can’t go into why we believe these aren’t being presented to the public right now, we can share with you the real dangers and alternatives to taking birth control pills., , As reported by Fox News, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it “remains concerned” about a certain type of birth control pills. Latest communication posted on the FDA’s website Monday said preliminary results of an agency funded study involving 800,000 women suggest a 50 percent increased in the risk of blood clots in legs for women who use drospirenone-containing birth control pills compared to users of other hormonal contraceptives Drospirenone is used in pills including Yaz and Yasmin as well as other generic forms. This week’s announcement follows the FDA’s announcement on May 31 where they cited two studies published in the that found a two to three times increased risk of blood clots in women taking birth control pills containing drospirenone.
We strongly caution that birth control pills pose far greater risks even beyond the potentially fatal blood clots such as an increased risk for developing certain types of cancer including breast cancer. As Dr. Sheridan likes to tell his patients, “Why roll those dice?” There is no question that oral contraceptives are convenient, but at what devastating cost?, Low levels of progesterone, not the synthetic progestin, causes symptoms of PMS including painful menstrual cycles. This can be treated by supplementing with biodentical hormones not to be mistaken for the synthetic ones such as oral contraceptives.

Everyone is kind and helpful.Kori Misson2022-12-21I cannot accurately describe in words how I feel about this practice and the entire staff. I have had quite a few health issues throughout the years, rheumatoid arthritis, sjogrens, weight gain, hair loss, irritability, and that is just the beginning. I had pretty much given up on feeling good, just decided to "live with it" and hope for the best. Two very close friends love the Hotze Wellness Clinic and they have experienced life changing health. Made my appointment and from the beginning I felt heard. Not a in and out fast food style practice. They are looked and are looking at my entire body for overall health and wellness. Connections from mind and body to clinical blood work, even dental questions....they care and I feel as if I can trust them. I am on a path to complete wellness and my goal is to have my RA back in remission as it once was....make yourself a priority. Having hope is an incredible feeling!
