What if you could look into the future and see the long-term side effects of Lybrel? What if those future side effects included never being able to have a child? Would you still want to try the revolutionary new birth control pill, Lybrel? Without knowing its future side effects, it must hold that Lybrel is not a safe drug.



Simple logic dictates that taking a pill (drug) that will so drastically change a woman's system, a system that Nature set into play, must have potential side effects. With or without the medical studies to back up the safe use of Lybrel (which researchers simply CANNOT have at this time), using this drug as a birth control method is a dangerous choice for women to make.



Ask the mothers of the fifties who were given Thalidomide to relieve their morning sickness symptoms. Ask those mothers, who gave birth to horribly deformed babies, if they could go back and re-make their choice, would they? That drug, too, was marketed as being a safe choice. But nine months later, the TRUTH about that "safe" drug was known. And the truth was awful.



Our bodies are organic structures designed far too intricately for the human brain to grasp in their entirety. No researcher has the capacity to know everything about the human body's response to a drug as invasive as the Lybrel birth control pill. And no researcher has the power to see into the future. Until all that knowledge becomes available, a birth control pill that will stop monthly periods must be questioned. And viewed as unsafe.



Modern drugs are wonderful for stopping disease and infections, but a drug designed to alter a natural bodily reproductive function, is in a word, insane. And extremely unsafe.



Take Lybrel at your peril. Otherwise, leave well enough alone; there are plenty of other SAFE birth control methods to use.
