But in eliciting her history, I learned she had just been discharged from the hospital with a myocardial infarction\u2014a heart attack! She was 32 years old, and she was on birth control pills, and I told her, you need to get off the pill because this caused your heart attack. And she said, \u2018No, no, no, the cardiologist told me it had nothing to do with birth control pills.\u2019\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Kathleen Raviele, an OB\/GYN, reported this dramatic story during the recent <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/no-adverse-outcome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cNo Adverse Outcomes?\u201d Round Table<\/a> led by Natural Womanhood\u2019s Editor, Grace Emily Stark. Dr. Raviele practiced medicine for several years before she stopped prescribing contraception, and is now retired after 33 years of practice in Atlanta. She was joined on Natural Womanhood\u2019s expert panel by <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/podcast\/nw-video-interview-dr-william-v-williams-fda-petition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Bill Williams, MD<\/a>, Editor Emeritus of <em>The Linacre Quarterly, <\/em>Adjunct Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and the lead author of a <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/fdapetition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">petition to the FDA requesting more transparency on birth control side effects<\/a>. Rounding out the panel was scientist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3rRYnxYox6E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Joel Brind, PhD<\/a>, Professor Emeritus of Human Biology and Endocrinology at Baruch College of the City University of New York.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of this live Round Table discussion was to unpack a <a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamanetworkopen\/fullarticle\/2788119\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent study published in <em>JAMA Network Open<\/em><\/a>, which found \u201cno adverse outcomes\u201d associated with the use of hormonal contraceptives. The <em>JAMA <\/em>study\u2019s conclusions clearly contradict the findings of the <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33897046\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">extensive study published in the peer-reviewed journal, <em>The Linacre Quarterly<\/em><\/a>, to support Natural Womanhood\u2019s petition to the FDA. For those unfamiliar with <em>JAMA, <\/em>it is the <em>Journal of the American Medical Association<\/em>\u2014one of the United States\u2019 preeminent medical journals.<em> <\/em>This is not some obscure journal, and any article or study published by them can have an impact on media and policy, misleading many doctors and patients in the end.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what is the truth about birth control side effects and risks? And how could this new <em>JAMA <\/em>study arrive at such radically different conclusions from Natural Womanhood\u2019s petition? What do these discrepancies say about the way science is done in today\u2019s world?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-reality-of-birth-control-side-effects-nbsp\"><span id=\"the-reality-of-birth-control-side-effects\">The reality of birth control side effects&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Birth control drugs affect many areas of the human body. Contrary to common belief, these drugs are not (and cannot be) solely targeted at a woman\u2019s reproductive system. Take for instance DMPA, the drug compound used in the birth control shot Depo Provera. Per Dr. Joel Brind, \u201c[DMPA] mimics the hormone cortisol.\u201d Women on Depo Provera end up with an <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/hormonal-birth-control-chronic-stress-response-anxiety-apa-axis-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unnaturally elevated level of cortisol<\/a> all day long.&nbsp; As a consequence, this drug <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/yes-birth-control-affects-mental-health-anxiety-depression-suicide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">affects the brain<\/a>, which is seen in elevated risks for anxiety and depression symptoms. By other mechanisms, Depo Provera also affects the bones (<a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/reasons-women-need-periods-you-need-a-period-the-role-of-the-menstrual-cycle-in-bone-health-development-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lower bone density<\/a>), and the immune system (<a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/risk-of-hiv-transmission-depo-provera-birth-control-shot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increased risk of HIV transmission<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study supporting Natural Womanhood\u2019s petition to the FDA calls for the removal of Depo Provera from the market because of its uniquely serious risks. It also demands better transparency concerning the side effects of other forms of hormonal contraception, through updated prescribing information and package inserts; the study found 14 serious conditions that women may experience as a result of using hormonal contraception (including the combined hormonal pill, the mini-pill or progestin pill, the birth control shot, hormonal IUDs, vaginal rings, and implants), most of which are not currently listed within the prescribing information for these powerful drugs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Williams listed some of these risks during our Round Table: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cBreast cancer, cervical cancer, Crohn\u2019s disease (which is an inflammatory bowel disease, which is chronic; it&#8217;s a lifelong battle for these patients who have that), ulcerative colitis, and systemic lupus. My training is in Rheumatology, and these [Lupus] patients have a lifelong, debilitating disease which is often very life-threatening. Not to mention depression, which of course is very prevalent in our society.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>While we know progestin-only drugs affect bone density, \u201cevidence is now clear that it&#8217;s not just getting your bones softer, but actually bone fractures are increased,\u201d says Dr. Williams. Vascular issues, such as \u201cmyocardial infarction and vascular accident\u2014in other words, heart attacks and strokes\u201d are also known.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a scientist by training, Dr. Brind explained how we can know that these risks and side effects are related to the powerful compounds found in birth control drugs. While epidemiological studies attempt to evaluate the prevalence of such symptoms and risks, Dr. Brind explained, the first step scientists take to check drug risks is to conduct bench studies. These studies assess the biological mechanisms that drug compounds have in the human body, by testing them in-vitro or on animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Dr. Brind, there are bench studies showing how these side effects take place: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;The fact is, we know what&#8217;s going on. <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/topic\/birth-control-side-effects\/blood-clots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">We know how these things cause blood clots<\/a>, we know why the patch is worse than the pill, we know exactly why Depo increases the risk of HIV transmission.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Williams adds: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;The mechanism of action of these things on <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/topic\/birth-control-side-effects\/autoimmune\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">autoimmunity<\/a> is also pretty well understood, and obviously the link for osteoporosis and bone fractures we really understand. So there is tremendous amount of scientific backup for this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-burden-of-birth-control-side-effects\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The burden of birth control side effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From an epidemiological standpoint, we also know that the risks levels for these 14 serious conditions are statistically significant. Many women across the country (and the world!) are impacted by the various risks and side effects described in the Natural Womanhood petition, which in turn leads to the need for additional health services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Raviele explained that when she stopped prescribing the pill to her patients, it changed her practice: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cNo longer did you have all the phone calls coming in every day with abnormal bleeding, and breast lumps and breast tenderness. Patients were actually coming in with gyn problems that you could manage without using birth control pills.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Raviele estimates that about a third of an OB\/GYN\u2019s time is spent managing complications from the pill.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study supporting Natural Womanhood\u2019s FDA petition estimates that over 1.2 million US women currently suffer from a negative health condition as a direct result of their use of these drugs. Dr. Williams questioned how women would respond if they knew the real level of risk they\u2019re taking: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWhat kind of risk are you willing to take to set yourself up potentially for one of these diseases? Would a 50 [percent] increase in risk kind of put you off? Or 50 percent certainty rather, that you would have an increased risk? Or a 75 [percent] increase? Well, certainly a 95 percent increased risk.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue is that women, on the whole, are unaware of these risks, and so they are unable to make an informed decision about the level of risk they are willing to accept.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the many women who suffer from painful or heavy periods, for which birth control seems to offer some relief, these elevated risks might seem worth it. However, as our Round Table panelists explained, these drugs do not cure any of these maladies. In fact, birth control is a Band-Aid solution, taking the place of treatments that could address the <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/topic\/infertility\/root-causes-of-infertility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">root causes<\/a> of conditions that cause painful or heavy periods (like endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, and others) or natural approaches that don\u2019t harm your health.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the outset, Dr. Williams underscored the key ethical issue present with birth control, which is that it is not a drug that addresses an illness, but one that interrupts a healthy, functioning reproductive system. This should mean that the burden of evidence for safety is much higher. Yet, we see the opposite happening.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-birth-control-risks-cover-up-explained\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The birth control risks cover-up explained&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is always confounding for doctors, patients, and the media to find contradictory studies on these issues. Obviously, those who profit from or simply prefer a \u201cpositive\u201d interpretation of the scientific evidence will promote it. Taking the <em>JAMA <\/em>study in question, the panel discussion was quite enlightening about how such misinformation can be produced and the impact it has.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to mislead people is at the mere communication level. In the case of this <em>JAMA <\/em>study, the title itself was incorrect, indicating that its conclusions covered all forms of hormonal contraception, while the research itself was focused on combined oral contraception (I.e., just combined birth control pills, and not the hormonal IUD, patch, shot, or ring). Few busy physicians (and even fewer patients) will take the time to read the full study conclusion, which explained this exception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, the labeling of some birth control pills reports risks of blood clots. But as Dr. Williams explained, the wording on birth control labels \u201cmakes it look like the risk is from smoking, and from age, and that the contraceptive just adds a little bit to it. That&#8217;s a complete fabrication [or] massaging of the data to reach a conclusion that is clearly not justified.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the key to coming up with these contradictory conclusions lies in the way the authors interpret the data. For instance, the authors of the <em>JAMA <\/em>study \u201cmoved the goal posts\u201d by changing the criteria of validity for the data. They essentially discounted findings from studies that previously established high risk by arbitrarily declaring the evidence of those prior studies as \u201cweak.\u201d For example, with blood clots, as Dr. Brind explains: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201c[the JAMA study authors] say the risk of thromboembolism among those using [oral contraceptives] versus not using oral contraceptives was an odds ratio of 2.42, which means a 142% risk increase,\u201d [which they arbitrarily deem is not a high enough level evidence]. \u201cThey invent this sensitivity analysis to take even things that everybody knows [to be true].. about the risk profile of these drugs.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only did the <em>JAMA <\/em>authors invent their own metrics, but (as Dr. Brind explained) they also cherry-picked data to selectively skew results. For example, the <em>JAMA<\/em> authors concluded that there is no increased risk of breast cancer in the years immediately following birth control pill discontinuation, using data from a large cohort study conducted in England that, in fact, showed \u201ca highly significant result: 145 percent increased risk of breast cancer between 15 and 20 years after you stopped using [birth control pills].\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another shocking tactic used to mask birth control risks and ensure the marketability of these products is to selectively inform certain doctors\u2014but not others. As Dr. Raviele reports: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAll the studies on the thromboembolic phenomenon with birth control pills are not in the OB\/GYN literature. They&#8217;re in the hematology literature, they&#8217;re in the pulmonary literature, they&#8217;re in the cardiology literature. So, OB\/GYNs don&#8217;t see those studies, as they&#8217;re never quoted.\u201d\u00a0 <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Raviele also mentioned how, when serious problems with the Ortho Evra patch first emerged, the manufacturer sent out a letter \u201cto everybody in the American College of OB\/GYNs showing you how you could explain to patients how they really didn&#8217;t have to come off the patch\u2014that this really wasn&#8217;t a serious problem for them.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These practices show, according to Dr. Brind, a \u201ccomplete turnaround and the complete perversion\u201d of the field of epidemiology: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWhen that field was in its infancy, it was in support of the precautionary principle, [which says that] if you find even one study that shows that there is significant harm from something, then you should not market it. It should be unlawful. That&#8217;s become completely turned around in order to serve the agenda of those who want to make these dangerous drugs, and want to continue to have them available to as many people as possible.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>When Natural Womanhood\u2019s Round Table moderator Grace Emily Stark asked if the <em>JAMA <\/em>study could impact the FDA\u2019s determination about drug safety, Dr. Williams added that \u201cif they use this standard of evidence&#8230; it would completely change the prescribing information for everything.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, these studies can (and do) impact policy. For one thing, they maintain a sort of vague, ambiguous public awareness about the reality of birth control risks, such as the risk of cancer or vascular disease. The latest trend in family planning-related health policy has been to push for birth control drugs to be sold over-the-counter in some states, like North Carolina most recently. These policies, which are aided by the public\u2019s unawareness of the seriousness of birth control risks, eliminates an important opportunity for physician intervention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Dr. Raviele explained, \u201cit takes the woman away from an encounter with a physician, a nurse practitioner or a PA, and she&#8217;s going to be at high risk for having other problems that won&#8217;t be picked up.\u201d She mentions STD testing and PAP smears, in particular. There is also the chance that birth control pills obtained over-the-counter without a physician to first take a thorough medical history, may be taken by young women with a family history of clotting disorders\u2014which can (and has) <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/birth-control-pills-blood-clots-and-untimely-death-our-familys-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">proven deadly<\/a> for more than one young woman.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese days everybody talks about \u2018following the science.\u2019 What I hate to tell you is that the <em>scientists <\/em>are not following the science,\u201d says Dr. Brind in closing.&nbsp; \u201cThe scientific establishment is now organized in order to prove certain outcomes. They concoct these \u2018umbrella studies\u2019 just for this. It&#8217;s really outcome-based \u2018science.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Grace Emily Stark underscored, the lives and health of women are at stake, and policies influenced by these studies can be very detrimental. There are alternatives, as Dr. Raviele mentioned in her closing comment: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cI would just reassure any women who are on this webinar right now: If they&#8217;re on the pill, to be not afraid and come off the pill, and I bet you will find that you feel so much better off hormonal contraception. There are all-natural alternatives that won&#8217;t cause you to get breast cancer, cervical cancer, blood clots, autoimmune disorders.
