Ladies, don’t take birth control
“Changes in gray and white matter in brains of women taking OCs [oral contraceptives]
suggest that OCs have an effect on brain architecture.” PLOS ONE
I tried birth control in college. It lasted less than 3 months and then I ran for the hills. I hated how my body was feeling. It was swelling and my mind was unsettled and lethargic. Luckily I had an old world mother who always warned me to never take birth control so I tiptoed into my college experiment with awareness and wariness, hypervigilantly watching for side effects.
Before we get into exactly why birth control is systemically – both on micro (you) and macro (societal, generation) scales – wrecking your body and mind I'm going to conclude my argument up front because this is easily one of the most important things you'll read all week and I can't risk you potentially clicking off before you finish reading.... It doesn’t matter if birth control has some “positive” side effects. Any pharmaceutical intervention will upend your body's natural balance and whatever the “positive” side effects, they are absolutely overshadowed by the multitude of negative side effects: migraines, anxiety attacks, loss of libido, brain alterations, thrombosis, personality disorders, depression and cancer.
The only option is to pull out of the system. Just pull out.
Lorde stated in a recent Rolling Stones article that her decision to stop using birth control “was maybe some quasi right-wing programming.” Well, if a woman living in tune with her body and not dependent on pharmaceuticals is right-wing, Welcome to the right wing, Lorde. Welcome all.
The Dangerous Effects of Birth Control:
LAWS OF ATTRACTION
In 2008, 100 women were asked to sniff the shirts of men and rate them by odor, most to least attractive. The results suggested that women not on the pill preferred the scent of men with dissimilar MHC genes, which could lead to a stronger immune system for their offspring. A well-balanced diversity of MHC genes is critical for a healthy immune system. The women on birth control were attracted to men with similar MHC genes. You're instinctively drawn to a man whose genes fill in what you’re missing — a match that benefits your future children. Incredible, really.
Attraction is therefore distorted by birth control. Women are literally put off the scent of the hunt for the right partner. Plus, when contraceptives are discontinued there can be unfortunate downstream effects as women lose attraction to their partner’s pheromones.
OUR WATER
Western countries are so concerned with the environment but we are peeing out toxins daily. All the pharma drugs being consumed are then pissed right into our water systems. We are not just polluting our bodies but aquatic life as well causing population collapse, intersex conditions (not just atrazine) and reducing sperm production.
Yet again what's best for the planet is best for humanity. Until we realize we are inextricable from our environment and what affects us affects it (see sunscreen on coral reefs and sea life, glyphosate, plastics, chem trails…) despite our perceived control over it, we will continue to destroy the planet and therefore also ourselves.
We don’t have to live this way.
We are so busy trying to find the magic cure-all (see ozempic but don’t mind the heart shrinkage) that we aren’t seeing the full picture. Stepping away from pharmaceuticals and the chemicals polluting our food and lands will do more for our bodies and health than any drug or new chemical farming strategy. To untangle ourselves is a steep hill to climb but we must start. Opting out is the only option and it begins within our body, our home, our offspring.
CANCER
We are told that a 20% risk is considered low. Personally I like the idea of 0% risk regarding an optional drug I impose upon my body. IDK, call me right-wing.
Increased Risks of
Breast Cancer: Current or recent users of hormonal contraceptives, including both combined estrogen-progestin and progestin-only methods, exhibit a slight increase in breast cancer risk—approximately 20–30% higher than non-users. However, this elevated risk diminishes over time after discontinuation. Time
Cervical Cancer: Long-term use of oral contraceptives (five years or more) has been linked to an increased risk of cervical cancer. The risk escalates with the duration of use but tends to decrease after stopping the pills. Oral Contraceptives and Cancer Risk
Combined Hormonal Contraceptives (Estrogen + Progestin): A Danish cohort study published in The New England Journal of Medicine found a 20% increased risk of breast cancer among current and recent users of combined hormonal contraceptives compared to non-users. The risk escalated with longer duration of use. PubMed
Progestin-Only Contraceptives: A UK-based study published in PLOS Medicine reported a 20–30% increased risk of breast cancer among users of progestin-only contraceptives, including pills, injections, implants, and hormonal IUDs. Notably, the risk was similar across different delivery methods.
BRAIN FUNCTION
The Hypothalamus:
Dr. Michael Lipton, professor of radiology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, said in a statement, “We found a dramatic difference in the size of the brain structures between women who were taking oral contraceptives and those who were not. This initial study shows a strong association and should motivate further investigation into the effects of oral contraceptives on brain structure and their potential impact on brain function.” He added that these women also had more depressive symptoms and anger control problems.
A VICE article soon ran in 2019 “debunking” Dr. Lipton’s study but in 2021 a structural MRI study published in PLOS ONE found that women using oral contraceptives had significantly smaller hypothalamic and pituitary gland volumes compared to non-users. This supports Dr. Liptons’ earlier findings from 2019, suggesting that hormonal contraceptives may influence the size of these critical brain regions concluding that “Changes in gray and white matter in brains of women taking OCs suggest that OCs have an effect on brain architecture.”
Yeah, no thanks.
In 2023, Scientists also discovered that women on oral contraceptives did not experience the typical reduction in the stress hormone ACTH after social activities. This suggests that hormonal contraceptives may alter how the body regulates stress and directly causes elevated cortisol levels. Science Daily
TEENAGERS & DEPRESSION
Birth Control makes teenage years exponentially worse.
A Danish study released in 2016 followed 1 million women for 10 years. For those aged 15-19, the study concluded that young adults on contraceptives are diagnosed with depression at a 70% higher rate than non-users. The patch and vaginal rings tripled the rate of depression.
Those teenagers, depending on the type of contraceptives used, had a 80-120% chance of being put on antidepressants. Our youth have become chained to a pharma-for-life subscription that is enormously difficult to break and destroys the body.
The Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex (vmPFC)
Research also suggests that using hormonal birth control during adolescence may have lasting effects on the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, specifically thinning the vmPFC. This could potentially disrupt normal brain development processes related to fear, learning and regulation.
“Our results support the idea that OC use during periods of brain development may alter brain anatomy, especially regions involved in emotion regulation.”
So why do women have higher pathologies of PTSD, anxiety disorders, panic disorders, borderline personality disorders, and OCD? Birth control certainly isn’t helping and why play with these probabilities.
BREASTFEEDING
What we eat goes directly into our breastmilk and into our babies. Do we really need a science experiment for this logic? We are literally advised not to eat too much broccoli because it may cause our babies to be too uncomfortably farty and have upset tummies….. But don’t worry about those drugs you are taking and have you considered updating your vaccines?
Do you want to fill your babies bodies with synthetic estrogen or progestin? Logically these synthetic hormones go downstream and directly into our breastmilk. If there is a negative risk to my infant’s growth, that is enough warning for me.
We are already aware that oral contraceptives increase chances of cancer, cause lasting effects on the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and cause behavioral and personality disorders…… so why is cancer increasing so drastically in children? We actually know. Leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children and a Scandinavian study found a direct link to birth control.
METABOLIC EFFECTS
Some birth control pills, especially those with certain hormones like androgenic progestins, can negatively affect glucose metabolism (can make it harder for the body to handle sugar). This means blood sugar and insulin levels may go up after eating, which can lead to problems like insulin resistance, a higher chance of developing Type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
Anxiety Attacks, Migraines, Weight Gain, Pulmonary Embolism, Blood Clots
“I would get these migraines that would shock my body into so much pain
that I would then have seizures” BBC
You can watch the BBC video for a sampling of these life damaging birth control side effects. In a time when anxiety runs rampant, pharmaceutical companies aim to force integration into our lives from day 1 (vaccines) with the medical world dutifully trained to abide. Doctors are not even trained to recognize the side effects of birth control which often (as described in the video) leads women on a wild goose chase with more pharmaceutical treatments and severely impacted health.
Health is in constant discussion & we really need to clean our bodies of pharmaceuticals; birth control at the forefront. Men, they are coming for you too. Male Contraception
Our bodies are an incredible architecture built to heal and replicate. Somehow we’ve lost track of how simple it is to eat clean, track out ovulation, and be healthy.
Don’t do birth control friends, it will alter you and your children irrevocably.
Let's make The Solarium the trusted parallel ecosystem.
