Alas, Another Dose from the Pill

Last year here on my blog, I covered the topics of pheromones (you can find that post here).  Pheromones are the scents produced by our hormones, which are
excreted from our bodies.  These scents, our pheromones, serve various purposes, among signaling sexual attraction, alarm, fear, etc.  Our pheromones are how we attract a partner.  This is generally an unconscious process, but nonetheless, how we subconsciously evaluate our mate’s immune system and whether they are compatible to us.

Upon sharing my piece about pheromones on my website, a friend linked me to an article relative to pheromones and how pheromones relate to the partners we attract.  The article described a study done on Women who were using the birth control pill as a contraceptive and the men they attracted as partners, as compared to Women who were not on synthetic contraceptives.

It has been known for some time, that the birth control pill tweaks our hormones.  Tweak is really an understatement.  The “pill” totally ravages our endocrine system.  It sends our body into a state of thinking it is pregnant, by heightening our progesterone levels significantly, and then abruptly dropping, upon the ending of the cycle of pills.  In more common terms, the “pill” gives users a monthly abortion.

The study brought awareness to the fact that because of the hormonal imbalance from the pill, Women involved in the study were attracting the wrong type of man for them.  According to the study, the imbalance of hormones induced by the pill, seems to alter the type of pheromones a Woman is attracted to in a man.  The hormones in the pill influence a Woman’s assessment of male sexual attractiveness.  The study showed that Women literally became attracted to men who were genetically incompatible for them.  Hmm… Synthetic hormones = Synthetic partner?  Sounds like it.

Women are naturally attracted to men who have immune system genes different from their own.  We sense this through their pheromones.  The hormones in the pill were attracting Women to men who had immune system genes similar to their own.  We purposely attract the opposite sex with different immune genes from us for a variety of reasons.  A wide range of immune genes passed on from a couple to their offspring decreases the child’s vulnerability to disease, the couple is less likely to experience fertility problems and/or miscarriages, etc.

Not only is it a problem that the pill was influencing Women to attract the wrong man genetically, but it was found that when Women went off the pill, they lost their attraction to their partner and relationships fell apart.  Any correlation to the massive amounts of divorce in society today, since the abundant use of birth control has taken reign?  Potentially!  Subconsciously, Women must realize once their hormones are not under the influence of the pill, that the man that are with isincompatible for them due to the mismatched genetics.  On the surface, it seems the relationship is simply deteriorating, when in fact, there is much more to the story.  How interesting!  But how unfortunate…  Not only are our feminine bodies being manipulated with these synthetic substances, but the pill is controlling our senses!  So, Women are riding the emotional roller coaster due to the hormonal balance from the pill, but also from being in a relationship unsuitable for them on a cellular level!  Fascinating!

Reading this article, I made a connection;  Had a realization.  I may have gone through this exact experience.  I started using the birth control pill at age 13-14 and stayed on it for a few years, having many relationships, in search of the right partner.  The year that I chose to stop the use of the pill (about 5 years ago), I was two years deep into a relationship.  We were totally into one another – Moved across the country to California together, got our own house, etc., etc.  While in California, my quest for health began and I discontinued the use of the pill.  Looking back on the experience, the relationship really began spiraling downward immediately after my discontinuation of using birth control pills.  My sexual attraction to my partner ceased abruptly.  I never wanted to spend time around him.  He had me on edge constantly.  It was a mess.  I never understood what the problem was between us.  Where did the connection go?  The more I furthered my passion for health and alternative lifestyle, the more my hormones began regulated, my moods feeling more stable – I was so happy!  How could I feel so good in my own being, but so unhappy with my partner?  Now I know the answer.  It may seem like a dramatic statement, but this truth about the pill makes so much sense.  It literally calls in a partner that is totally wrong for us.  On a level of genetics, no less!

I am happy to say that I have been off the pill for quite a few years now.  I am more tuned into my hormones and endocrine system than ever, and feel healthier that I could have imagined.  The old relationship I mentioned ended in due time, as clearly he was not the match for me.  Since then, I have attracted a partner whom I connected to naturally, without the influence of synthetic hormones and our relationship couldn’t be more magickal and balanced.  Going by the ideas listed in the study, I clearly have now attracted a partner whose genetics are opposite mine, creating a perfect balance of attraction between us!  My body picked up on this naturally, on a subconscious level, having not been influenced by synthetic hormones circulating in my system this time

This study simply brings to the surface yet another dramatic hindrance that the pill can project into our lives.  It is unfortunate that Women are fooled into thinking that they need to dose themselves with these hormones to control their fertility;  Commonly, to please their husband and withhold from conceiving.  Rather than disempowering our bodies and immersing ourselves in relationships that aren’t fit for us, let’s pursue a natural way of life, calling in the partner who is truly made for us, who’s genetics are a perfect match! We don’t need the synthetics… We just need our authentic selves!
