The last element of ridding toxins from my body, for me, was to stop taking the contraceptive pill. I had been taking the pill for nearly 15 years, day in day out. There was some resistance from my behalf to stop taking the pill, I am married, but I'm not convinced that I am ready for children. My thoughts were along the lines of...if I stop taking the pill I might get pregnant, the pill keeps me regular. However, I knew that if I was to walk my talk and live within the boundaries of what I believed in and what my business stands for then I had to rid the pill from my body.
I discussed this with my partner and he was all for it. "Of course, get the chemicals out of your body", was his response. What happened next I was not prepared for. I skin developed 'bumps'. Bumps were forming everywhere, on my face, on the tops of my arms, on my back. It wasn't a nice thing to see. I started to doubt my decision. However, I knew that I had to push through this.
I stayed 'bumpy' for 3 months, before I went to see my natropath. She told me all about "the pill"...stay tuned for part II.

I'm very interested to hear more about your experience quitting the contraceptive pill and what you learned through the process. I also stopped taking the pill after I became increasingly aware of the way in which it altered my body, and suffered pretty nasty effects, mostly skin related, and I know a lot of people who have had similar experiences.
ReplyDeleteMy personal experience once quitting the pill was to clean my body, inside and out. I started drinking juices that I made myself every morning. I had 2 different juice combinations that I altered every week - one week was carrots, beetroot & celery, week two was apples, carrots & celery. This cleaned up my skin miraculously. However, I still seem to have 'bumps' on my neck. It has now been 9 months since I have stopped taking the pill, I can only imagine how long it will take to rid the entire toxic chemical from my body.
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear more about your personal experience.
bye for now
