birth control pills (oral contraceptive pills)

Dear EC,
Generally the birth control pills (oral contraceptive pills) have the known side effect of causing blood clots in the blood vessels which wil then will cause thrombo-embolism lke in the case mentioned.
However the incidence is rare and only higher in those who have some other blood or vascular disorders.

yours,

Dear Eugenice,
> How far does it true about the below??

Every drug has side effects, including those two drugs that are mentioned in that article. In fact, all birth control pills have this side effects. However, whether the side effect happens or not, it all depends on chances (calculated through large scale studies). If they have deadly side effects, they will soon be retrieved from the market. I think the FDA is aware of this. Therefore, I recommend close follow up with the FDA reports to see if it is safe enough to take those drugs.

Take care,

Pei-Ching, Oon

PASS THIS ON EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE IT

Recently this past week, my cousin Nicole Dishuk (age 31...newly graduated student with a doctoral degree about to start her new career as a Doctor...) was flown into a nearby hospital, because she passed out.

They found a blood clot in her neck, and immediately took her by helicopter to the ER to operate. By the time they removed the right half of her skull to relieve the pressure on her brain; the clot had spread to her brain causing severe damage.

Since last Wednesday night, she was battling... they induced her into a coma to stop the blood flow, they operated 3 times... Finally, they said there was nothing left that they could do... they found multiple clots in the left side of her brain... the swelling wouldn't stop, and she was on life support...

She died at 4:30 yesterday. She leaves behind a husband, a 2yr old Brandon and a 4yr old Justin... The CAUSE of DEATH - they found was a birth control she was taking that allows you to only have your period 3 times a year... They said it interrupts life's menstrual cycle, and although it is FDA approved... shouldn't be - So to the women in my address book - I ask you to boycott this product & deal with your period once a month - so you can live the rest of the months that your life has in store for you.

*Please send this to every woman you know - you may save someone's life... Remember, you have a CYCLE for a reason!

The name of this new birth control pill is LYBREL. If you go to Lybrel.com http://lybrel.com/, you will find at least 26 pages of information regarding this drug.

The second birth control pill is, SEASONIQUE. If you go to the website of, Seasonique.com http://seasonique .com/, you will find 43 pages of information regarding this drug.

The warnings and side effects regarding both pills are horrible. Please, please forward this information to as many daughters AND sons, co-workers, friends and relatives. Several lives have already been changed

Thanks & Best Regards,

When You Were A Little Girl

When u were 15,
your mom came home from work, looking for a hug.
You thanked her by having your bedroom door locked.

When you were 16,
she taught you how to drive her car.
You thanked her by taking it every chance you could.

When you were 17,
she was expecting an important call.
You thanked her by being on the phone all night.

When you were 18,
she cried at your high school graduation.
You thanked her by staying out partying until dawn.

When you were 19,
she paid for your college tuition, drove you to campus carried your bags.
You thanked her by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your friends.

When you were 25,
she helped to pay for your wedding, and she cried and told you how deeply she loved you.
You thanked her by moving halfway across the country.

When you were 50,
she fell ill and needed you to take care of her. You thanked her by reading about the burden parents become to their children.

And then, one day, she quietly died.
And everything you never did came crashing
down like thunder on YOUR HEART.

If you love your MOM, forward this now

if you don't... then u obviously don't care if your mom dies!

Be A Blessed Lady

Someone will always be smarter. Their house will be bigger. They will drive a better car. Their children will do better in school. And their partners will fix more things around the house.

So let it go and love you and your circumstances.

Think about it.
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart. And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children. The richest woman you know -- she's got the car, the house, the clothes might be heartbreakingly lonely.

So, love you. Love who you are right now.
Tell yourself, "I am too blessed to be stressed."

Be blessed ladies and pass this on to encourage another woman.

"To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world."

投国阵或反对党

一个值得大家深思的课题，投国阵或反对党其实只是很简单的选择

发表于: 2008-2-28 13:34 作者: Mr.Crazy 来源:佳礼部落客

投国阵或反对党其实只是很简单的选择
其实我们很多人都很傻，傻就傻在我们不懂自己国家的民主制度是怎么运作的。
我们白白浪费了很多过更好生活的机会。
民主简单来说不过是：
做得好就选你，做不好就换人！

但是，我们常常会认为：
现在不好，但换了人更不好怎么办呢？
首先，你没试过怎么知道就更不好呢？
再说，就算是反对党更不好，没关系啊！五年过后可以再投回国阵啊！
这就是民主啊！
这样下去，每个党都会担心自己做得不好，从而在执政时做得更好。
最后，得益的，不就是我们吗？

所以，这个时候其实只需要静下心，问问自己：
国阵在这四年做的好吗？
你就会选择了。

还有，我们常常有一些迷思，比如说：

国阵输了不是没有人帮我们做事了吗？反对党没有贡献，只会为反对而反对，不会做事。
其实反对党的功能和贡献就是反对啊。
如果有一天，国阵这么不幸成为了反对党，它们也只能反对不能做事啊。
同样的，如果反对党这么不幸成为了执政党，它们也只能做事，不会反对啊！
但是，其实反对的贡献是很大的！有反对才可以反映人民的心声。

反对党的领袖很投机，只为了要进国会而来竞选
这并没有错。国会是讨论政策的地方。
反对党进不了国会，执政党制定不利于人民的政策时，人民就没有反对的余地了。
所以反对党在国会的贡献就是"监视"国阵。
所以越多反对党议员进来，就越多人监视国阵，不利于人民的政策就越少啊。
这不也是对我们好吗？

只有回教党，我甘愿投国阵。
这也不对！
我国先今会有很多不利于人民的政策，就是因为国会里太少反对党。
所以目前要改善人民的生活，就要有更多反对党的议员进入国会，让国阵不能为所欲
为！
回教党胜的话，就能增加国会内反对党的议员。所以对最后对人民还是有利的。



一個奉行民主制度的國家，的確需要執政與在野黨有不相伯仲與勢均力敵的實力，才
能凸顯民主的自由性。

當權力過於強盛在其中一方，便很大可能會出現當政者以自我的心態去治理國家。我
國執政黨與在野黨的實力相差實在太懸殊，大家卻因爲執政者的洗腦功力導致對反對
黨抱有雙重標準的偏見。

囉嗦的就不多言了，就只想精簡的告訴大家一句---要改變國家，就先要壯大在野黨的
實力，好讓民主機制的社會契約能夠以百家爭鳴各放異彩的方式來讓大衆有更佳的選
擇權。

因爲事實告訴我們，有競爭力的東西，雙方才會使勁和用心表現。否則現在實力失
衡，我們根本沒有多餘的選擇。

一个少女应该担心的是那种情形？

一个５岁小孩在她前边大喊大叫要强奸她，还是
一个捉住她的，静静不出声，但双手已经在她胸上游来游去的流氓大汉？

回教党要搞回教国，根本办不到，就像５岁小孩只会喊而已。
国阵要回教国，轻而易举，因为它本身就是超级大怪兽，有看报纸吗？已经搞了。

我们不是政治乞丐，我们要平等的母语教育权利！
每五年一次大选，我们才看到国阵政府拨款，宣布增建或搬迁华小，让人以为华
小。淡小不足的问题获得解决。
如同吃饭和呼吸，接受母语教育乃人的基本权利。然而，面对巫统的霸权压迫，华印
裔同胞等于每五年才有一顿饭吃，你难道还饿不死吗？
我们要用选票告诉国阵，包括马华与民政党，任何种族都要享有公平的母语教育机
会。
通过五年一次的施舍，只要骗走您的选票，又是另一个五年的事情了。马来西亚是一
个美丽的国度，就是贪污，滥权，腐败的政府搞得乌烟瘴气。
给祖国一个机会，我们一起否决国阵三分之二的议席。谋事在人，成事在天，做好我
们的本分吧！

好好想想吧。
