Birth Control Death - Please Read!

I received this e-mail from a friend. I would like all young women considering birth control to please read. No Judgement here, just facts of a death and the kind of products used. Please choose wisely when deciding what birth control to use. I hope to see comments about other issues regarding birth control as it is an important subject.

PASS THIS ON EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE IT

Recently this past week, my cousin Nicole Dishuk (age
31...newly graduated student with a doctoral degree about to start her new
career as a Doctor....) was flown into a nearby hospital, because she passed
out.

They found a blood clot in her neck, and immediately
took her by helicopter to the ER to operate. by the time they removed the
right half of her skull to relieve the pressure on her brain, the clot had
spread to her brain causing severe damage.

Since last Wednesday night, she was battling.. they
induced her into a coma to stop the blood flow, They operated 3 times..
Finally, they said there was nothing left that they could do.. they found
multiple clots in the left side of her brain.. the swelling wouldn't stop,
and she was on life support..

She died at 4:30 yesterday. She leaves behind a
husband, and a 2yr old Brandon and a 4yr old Justin.. The CAUSE of DEATH -
they found was a birth control she was taking that allows you to only have
your period 3 times a year... They said it interrupts life's menstrual
cycle, and although it is FDA approved... shouldn't be - So to the women in
my address book - I ask you to boycott this product & deal with your period
once a month - so you can live the rest of the months
that your life has in store for you.

*Please send this to every woman an you know - you may
save someone's life... Remember, you have a CYCLE for a reason!

Fyi.

The name of this new birth control pill is Lybrel. If
you go to Lybrel.Com http://lybrel.com , you will find at least 26 pages of
information regarding this drug.

; The second birth control pill is, Seasonique. If
you go to the website of, Seasonique.Com http://seasonique.com , you will
find 43 pages of information regarding this drug.
The warnings and side effects regarding both pills are
horrible. Please, please forward this information to as many daughters
AND sons, co-workers, friends and relatives. Several lives have already
been changed

Blood clots are a common risk that women are told about when they start to take hormonal birth control (or, at least they SHOULD be told of the risk...). Many hormonal birth control methods cause the period to stop, such as the depo provera shot, where you typically stog getting your period all together. And many women on the "normal pill" skip their periods with relative frequency. I do not think the risk is inherent in the fact that a woman may only get their period every three months, the risk is inherent in the taking of birth control in general.
