Naturopathic doctors believe that doing no harm is the best way to go. This may be why licensed NDs have such a good, safe track record. Due to NDs' dedication to this first principle of naturopathic medicine, short-term symptom management at the expense of long-term well being is not an option for treatment. This is frightningly not so for the pharmaceutical-managed medical system.
Most quick fixes, such as the new birth control drug Lybrel, approved this week for indefinitely delaying menstruation for the sake of contraception provide a convenience for unknowing consumers but inevitably cause harm. I predict that we will eventually learn over time that estrogenic pharmaceuticals prescribed, not for medical necessity, for the sake of convenience will suppress the fertility of the unknowing female consumer into a long-term stupor.
The fertility of the North American woman is at risk more now than it has ever been as our environment becomes increasingly estrogenic. In addition to the compounding effects of pesticides, bovine growth hormone and old-age putting women at risk of weaker fertility, the continual suppression of our body’s natural ovulatory cycle in exchange for over-consumption of growth-promoting estradiols and synthetic mimickers found in drugs for birth control and hormone replacement is downright dangerous.
I say “women, rebel!” Determine fertility based on simple symptoms such as cervical changes, fluid, basal body temperature and cycle length. Do not need to feed your daughters and selves estrogens to suppress natural hormonal rhythms. This inevitably has disastrous effects on the health of the ovaries, endocrine system and the ability of our bodies to conceive and carry to term when ready. Think twice spending a young lifetime suppressing fertility if pregnancy is desired in the future.

Dr. Millie,
I was on the pill for roughly 8 months until this past June, when I realized why I had decided not to take that route for the last ten years of my sexually active life. I was used to being really fit, having a hight metabolism and just generally having good energy. The pill took that away from me so I decided to stop it on my own. I guess it's up to me now to learn my cycle patterns, even though I don't feel very fertile in the first place.
You made some first rate factors there.
