In the Name of The Pill

What other Women's Health authors are saying about In the Name of The Pill "I love an independent researcher, someone who just takes the time to do the reading and make the connections others are not making. Read it, loan it out, get it to as many women as you can." Holly Grigg-Spall, Author, Sweetening the Pill "Read at your own risk...it's a harrowing account of how medicine spent decades choosing to NOT SEE the hazards of contraceptive drugs." Lara Briden, Author, Period Repair Manual From breast cancer and blood clots to depression and debilitating autoimmune disease, the health of millions of women has been sacrificed to chronic and deadly diseases In the Name of The Pill. This book highlights many of those ailments and examines the role hormonal birth control plays in each. Chapters devoted to individual diseases and conditions include lupus, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, infertility, migraines, blood clots, diabetes, hair loss, thyroid and gallbladder disease. Yet, with significantly increased risks for all these conditions, the drug industry still tells us the benefits outweigh the risks. To understand the disconnect, In the Name of The Pill explores the history, economics, and politics that gave us birth control before it was proven safe, and exposes the powerful forces working to keep us in the dark.
