Hot Flashes and Chills Coming Off Birth Control Pill?

by Hippocrates Health Educator

A graduate of the Hippocrates program reported that she was experiencing hot flashes and chills -- she had quit taking the birth control pill this year at 46 after taking it for a long time.

We asked Dr. Brian Clement, of the Hippocrates Institute this question in our monthly Ask the Expert call: why was she now having hot flashes?

He said it’s pretty easy to understand why someone would have chills and hot flashes after coming off a pharmaceutical drug -- in this case the birth control pill.

The body is synthetically placed in an abnormal state of hormonal chemistry and now it’s trying to regulate itself. The poor body is saying, “I don’t know what to do anymore!”

The hormone levels are going up, the hormone levels are going down: the drug had veiled the very light if even visible symptomology that would have happened if she never took a birth control pill.

We do know there is a direct link to broken capillaries, liver cancer and liver cancer symptoms, and a whole array of other problems, including what we are now talking about.

Bioidentical hormone therapy performed by the right physician can help you slowly back out of this period, and after you have completed menopause, you won’t need bioidentical hormone replacement therapy anymore.

That period in a woman’s life, the menopause age, can be very traumatic except for women on raw living foods -- the Hippocrates diet.

The sad thing is that there are very few women who don’t take the birth control pill. Why?

Women have been taught to be subservient. They don’t tell the guy to put a prophylactic (rubber) on.

It shouldn’t be the responsibility of the woman, IUDs are not good.

By the way, Dr. Brian is a big fan of intimate committed relationships. He went on to say that if sexuality is not part of your life, you’re not having a happy, full and whole life.

If you’re not having intimate relationships with the one you’re committed to and love, something is seriously wrong there, and you’re not being fulfilled. Your level of health will never flourish no matter what you eat or how much you exercise or whatever else you do.

So, stay off the birth control pill, find a way to make a smooth landing -- bioidentical hormone replacement would be a big help here -- that’s easy to do under the care of a good bioidentical hormone therapy doctor.

Its frusterating to read "Women have been taught to be subservient. They don’t tell the guy to put a prophylactic on"
BCP's offer a level of regularity and predictability a condom never could. That's a horrible statement.

Hi Andrea,

Thank-you for your thoughtful comment and the mention in your blog.

I certainly agree that BHRT for the rest of your life is better than the drugs you might take instead. That said, I remember that Dr. Brian Clement - he has been the director of Hippocrates Institute, where people come to heal many times after the doctors have told them there is nothing else they can do (all diseases, cancer, heart, etc so he has had a front row seat on what works and what doesn't and really understands the human body) - he has said that even with BHRT, he would like to see people take them only for 6 months.

I can't remember the reason for this caution, I'll have to ask him. I do know that on this lifestyle of raw living foods, the body begins to regulate itself at a much higher level, even for post-menopausal women like myself.

He said it would be easy to regain your balance with the right BHRT doctor, he didn't say they are easy to find. The Institute has one on staff in West Palm Beach, Florida - but he would be the first to agree you have to really look for the right one where you live, so your point is very well taken that there are too many out there who don't get it or are in it for the wrong reasons.

I enjoyed reading this article and have referenced it on my blog holyhormones.blogspot.com. Two points, however-----I plan on being on bioidentical hormones the rest of my life, for me this goes way, way beyond menopausal symptoms----the progesterone cream cured not only my hot flashes, but also restless leg syndrome, acid reflux and seasonal allergies in less than two weeks. I'd rather take BHRT the rest of my life than the 7 toxic drugs I am no longer on. Secondly, the last line of the article reads: "that’s easy to do under the care of a good bioidentical hormone therapy doctor." Right, now it's a lot easier said than done to find a doctor who: knows what he/she is doing with bioidentical hormones (a lot of the so called experts out there are just practitioners trying to make quick money off desperate women), and also to find a doctor who doesn't charge the cost of a house for a consultation. Most of the good BHRT doctors do not take insurance, and with the insurance system so broken I truly understand why, but some have absolutely no clue (or don't care) that most people live on a budget and cannot afford literally many thousands of dollars a year to be hormonally balanced. I have a list of resources for anyone who wants to find hormonal care in their area, just drop me an email at holyhormones@gmail.com ---- I've helped about 300 women this year and although it's a small number, it's at least 300 women who now are more educated about their choices in healthcare. I can also recommend doctors both in Southern CA and in Charlotte, NC. Happy hormonal health to all!
