Long-acting birth control INJECTION on the chopping block for link to BRAIN TUMORS
"For decades, modern medicine has promised quick fixes - a pill or shot for every health concern. But time after time, widely used drugs have been linked to serious, sometimes life-threatening side effects discovered years after their approval. We've seen it with COVID injections failing to deliver "total protection," Vioxx being withdrawn over heart attack risks, antidepressants linked to suicidal thoughts in teens, and hormone replacement therapy later tied to breast cancer and cardiovascular problems."
"New research links Depo-Provera to brain tumor risk: A JAMA Neurology study found women using the injectable contraceptive Depo-Provera had a 2.43-times higher risk of developing a meningioma, a type of brain tumor, compared with other or no hormonal birth control methods. Risk increases with long-term or later use: The highest risk was seen in women who used Depo-Provera for more than four years or began after age 31, with roughly one extra brain tumor case per 1,150 users."
"Broader safety concerns about common drugs: Depo-Provera joins a pattern of widely used medications later tied to serious health risks, such as acid-reflux drugs, diabetes medications, pain relievers, and even certain antidepressants. Prevention over prescriptions: Experts stress prioritizing lifestyle-based cancer prevention-through nutrition, movement, stress management, and limiting toxin exposure-over blind trust in pharmaceutical "quick fixes." Welcome to the chronic sick care nation, where the quack MD prescribe junk science "medicine" that causes worse problems than the issue being addressed."
Modern medical practice frequently relies on pharmaceutical quick fixes, and several widely used drugs have later been linked to serious, sometimes life‑threatening, side effects discovered years after approval. The injectable contraceptive Depo‑Provera is associated with a 2.43‑times higher risk of meningioma compared with other or no hormonal birth control, with the greatest risk after more than four years of use or when initiation occurs after age 31 — about one additional brain tumor per 1,150 users. Similar delayed harms have been reported for other common medications. Emphasis on lifestyle-based prevention through nutrition, movement, stress management, and toxin limitation is advocated.
