But not all children who experience early life stress go on to develop mental illness. It seems how you cope with stressful experiences is not only influenced by your prior experiences, but also your genes, coping responses and brain regulation.

Birth Control - Suicide and Informed Consent

Sadly, much of the information coming out today in research and studies was documented in the 1970 Nelson Pill Hearings - the Senate hearings held on the risks associated with the birth control pill.

Study: Birth Control and Suicide - Adolescents at Higher Risk
Holy Hormones Journal: What we have suspected and known for quite some time has now been validated. What good can come from a synthetic hormonal contraceptive that suppresses a vital part of the brain, affecting the neurological, endocrine and immune systems - while depleting vital nutrients needed to maintain a healthy mental/emotional state of mind. I do have a copy of the study. … [Read more...]
