People who reject modern medicine infuriate me?

I agree your title but your example is terrible. The issue has little to do with modern medicine.

Birth control pills are horrible for many women. It isn't for you to decide if a woman should subject her body to unnecessary hormones. And you know what works better? Condoms. Also, condoms don't effect your mood or have the potential to disrupt your entire life. The problem is that the condom puts responsibility on the man. And men don't like that. Once the pill for a man exists we'll see how many line up to take it.

Well i asked my witch doctor about this and he said "ohh eee ohh aa aa, ting tang walla walla bing bang. "

Hmm. I can understand becoming frustrated if they try to convince other people by scaremongering. I can agree with you on that front. But as far as their personal decisions go, I don't think it's normal to be bothered by them. They might have a perfectly good philosophical reason which they can't articulate, or choose not to talk about. In any case, it's none of your business and being bothered by their personal decisions kind of makes you as bad the people who harass you over your choices.

I have to admit the pill in particular isn't for everyone. A lot of women forget to take it and women with high blood pressure or a family or personal history of stuff like blood clots shouldn't use it, not even women who smoke should use it because of the estrogen so the shot is a lot 'safer' but unfortunately has zero cycle control. Some women's periods dissapear, some unlucky women like me bleed constantly with progesterone only BC like the shot. How does the shot work for you if I may ask?

It was the in thing in Highschool to be on bc, I remember basically every girl in my grade had bc but basically every girl after graduation became magically pregnant by their deadbeat boyfriends. I've gone on bc twice and each time I forget to take it so I've just said to hell with it, I'm going with the shot.

Unfortunately for me I did gain weight like a baby heifer while on the pill, but I lost it all freshman yr of college.

I can understand where they're coming from. I have horrible anxiety when it comes to things like that. If I hear one bad thing about something, I'll be extremely paranoid and freak out. If I was a girl I'd probably be hesitant about it. But I prefer condoms anyway.

People who refuse birth control and then act surprised that they pop out a baby infuriate me because willful ignorance infuriates me. Also, most of these people go on Welfare and don't pay for their own children. A lot of these women say how bad birth control is for you but they smoke pot and drink like Jim Morrison.
Jeez at least use a condom, they have been around for centuries.
btw I love birth control, if I don't take it my menstrual cycle is horrible and I feel x100 better on it.

I mean you kind of take this irritation to an extreme but, yes, I consider it normal. Modern medicine has proved itself effective over the years and I don't know why people would completely reject it. However, in desperate times when people have tried all traditional methods, I suppose I could see experimenting with some alternative solutions as well.

Do condoms protect against 3 different kinds of cancer? Do they regulate periods, reduce acne and balance out the hormones of those women who NEED hormonal medication? What about when condoms fail and an unwanted child is born because the women was too god damn stupid to use birth control that's over 85% effective? Should our tax money pay for that unwanted child? I'm focusing on the non contraceptive benifits of the pill here, and if women are suffering from symptoms but don't want birth control to help ease those symptoms, they should shut the fuck up about them or accept that they need to use a RELIABLE form of bc.

I know someone who takes 14 different pills a day without them she would die, one time she gave me a couple of some extra's she had (Tramadole) they made me feel good, REEEEEALLLLLYYY GOOOOD. So hooray for pills.

Birth Control YES USE IT! However, be selective about western medications. Many do more harm than good, and many people get addicted to them. The FDA is controlled by the large pharmaceutical corporations, and many medicines are approved that are actually harmful.

Use medical marijuana instead of sleeping pills, irritated bowel syndrome medication, pain medication, restless leg syndrome medication and many others. No serious side effects and you will feel wonderful.

I think you are over-reacting.
Birth control pill isn't for everybody.
I tried, forgot it all the time... Very stressfull...

I completely agree with you, I'm talking about those women who haven't even bothered to try birth control because they think it makes them put on weight, or they think that the hormones are poisoning their systems or some shit. I agree that if absolutely none of them work for you then you should absolutely not have to deal with whatever it is you're dealing with but I mean come on, they could atleast do the responsible thing and TRY out some methods to find a good one. I've heard of people literally telling me I'm going to get cancer because I use the pill. It drives me nuts. Thank you. For your response though, I've always wanted to know what other people thought about this particular topic.

There are many other birth control options besides the pill that you don't have to remember everyday. The Ortho Evra patch you change every week, the Nuva Ring you change every 3 weeks, and there are two different types of injectable contraceptives, one that lasts 2 months, Nuristerat, and Depo Provera that lasts 3 months. The Implanon implant lasts for 3 years, the Mirena IUD lasts for 5 years and the ParaGuard copper IUD is completely hormone free and lasts for 8 to 10 years, so people really need to stop making all birth control out to be horrible when they've only tried one or two methods. I don't mean every single women should just be on birth control just because, I'm talking about those who actively refuse to try a method of BC when they are experiencing gyneacological issues, e.g painful or heavy periods, they would rather want the strongest pain killers available rather than use the pill. By the way, people who are diabetic have to take insulin everyday or they die. Remembering a birth control pill shouldn't be difficult if there are grave consequenses to forgetting one. Like, say, a child? I'm not at all expecting every single female to go on birth control but for the love of god, don't complain about painful periods or bad acne and then in the same sentence say 'all those hormones are bad for you' because incase everyone hasn't noticed, in some cases it actually saves lives. Heavy uterine bleeding can cause serious problems and if you battle with it from adolescence like I did your options are surgery, or birth control. I'm not forcing anything on anyone but simply asking birth control gets its due credit and people stop avoiding it like its aids or some shit.

Some of the physical medical doctors are definitely of value, such as cardiac, orthopedic and internal medicine, etc.
However, in the mental practices, I sincerely believe most psychologists and psychiatrists are little better than an aboriginal witch doctor, and in many cases, even less effective. Way too many rely on putting their patients on medications that allow them to function in society, with little regard to actually diagnosing and curing any real mental illness, if there even is one.

I'm bothered by their personal descisions when I see women complaining over issues like crippling menstrual cramps or other gyneacological issues but refuse to use birth control to help them. They would rather guzzle down pain killers like they're sweets before considering birth control because aparantly 'hormones are harmful'. They need to wake the fuck up and realise that hormonal medication in the form of birth control is one of the most helpful things ever invented and to go around saying its a bad descision is unfair. Before birth control pills the only treatment for heavy and uncontrollable dysfunctional uterine bleeding was surgery in the form of hysterectomy. Today doctors treat uterine bleeding problems with birth control pills. It actually allows women with serious gyneacological issues to keep the option of having children one day. I don't mind if a woman's personal choice is to not use birth control but then she needs to shut the hell up about all her menstrual or otherwise hormonally effected issues if she's not willing to take medication to help.

I'm glad someone feels the same way I do and recognizes all the benefits of using birth control. And exactly, why should tax payers pay for someone else's unplanned child because the mother thought birth control was bad for her? I bet they don't even realise that the small doses of hormones in birth control (even what's considered high dose birth control) is but a mere FRACTION of the amount of hormones you're exposed to during pregnancy. The fact that the hormones in BC are manufactured is irrelevant, because hormones, manufactured or naturally occuring, have the same effects on the body. Its the amount that matters, not how they're administered. I can understand young girls being hesitant about starting birth control but I think its only us women who experience hideous menstrual cycles who will truly appreciate hormonal BC for all its non contraceptive benefits.
