Health Effects of Birth Control

Starting hormonal birth control at 16 for women causes long-term disruption to natural hormone cycles, metabolism, and organ function, even in short-term use.

Cardiovascular Disease:
Increases the risk of blood clots, heart attack, and stroke, especially in smokers or those with genetic factors. Risk remains elevated even after stopping.

Hypertension:
Raises blood pressure by 10–20% compared to non-users.

Breast Cancer: Increases risk during use and up to 10 years afterwards, particularly when started before first pregnancy.

Cervical Cancer: Increases risk with use beyond five years; remains above baseline even after stopping.
Ovarian and Endometrial Cancer: Reduces risk by about half, but overall cancer risk remains higher due to other effects.

Bone Health:
Causes loss of bone mineral density, especially in young users. Bone recovery is incomplete if started before full maturity.

Metabolic and Nutrient Effects:
Causes weight gain, insulin resistance, and higher risk of type 2 diabetes. Depletes folate, B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc, contributing to fatigue and anemia.

Sexual Function:
Reduces libido in up to one in five users due to increased SHBG that lowers free testosterone.

Overall Impact:
Long-term users have higher rates of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and bone loss than never-users. Lower-dose pills lessen but do not eliminate these effects.
Mental Health Effects
Hormonal contraceptives alter brain chemistry and stress regulation, especially when they started in adolescence.

Depression and Mood Disorders:
Increase depression and antidepressant use, particularly when started before age 20.

Suicidality:
Double to triple the rate of suicide attempts among adolescent users.
Anxiety and Emotional Regulation:
Increase anxiety and flatten natural emotional highs and lows, leading to persistent low mood and reduced emotional resilience.

Cognitive and Personality Changes:
Disrupt stress response, alter attraction patterns, and reduce cognitive and mood variability compared to natural hormone cycles. Uses also have a preference for men with less masculine traits. This also alters a woman smell and perception of what an ideal partner should be.


The takeaway?
Women who use birth control become fat and lazy, poison their blood, lower their I.Q., destroy their bodies. They are unable to properly control their mood and lack impulse control.
It affects their mental well-being and alters their perception of reality.

📡 What is LoRa?
LoRa stands for Long Range. It’s a wireless radio technology designed to send small amounts of data over long distances, while using very low power.

Key points:
Works on licence-free bands in many regions (so you don’t need a mobile subscription).
Wikipedia
Ideal for remote areas, sensors, trackers — anywhere you can’t rely on cellular.
Low data rate, but huge range and battery life — a perfect trade-off when you don’t have much power.


🧭 What is Meshtastic?
Meshtastic uses LoRa radios to build a mesh network for off-grid communication. Essentially: phones + LoRa modules = long-range messaging & GPS info without cell towers.


Why it stands out:
Open-source & community driven — you can build or buy nodes and join the network.
Works where there’s no mobile coverage: hiking, remote campsites, disaster zones.
Supports mesh relaying: your device can forward messages for others, extending reach.


✅ Why these matter for survival & outdoor use
Independence: No reliance on cell networks. If you’re off-grid, injured, or in remote terrain — you still have a way to communicate.
Battery efficiency: Both LoRa + Meshtastic are built for minimal power consumption. Good when you’re carrying limited gear.
Flexibility: You can outfit a small group, monitor positions, send simple messages, set up relays. Great for backcountry trips, team ops, or emergency kits.
Cost-effective: Compared to satellite communicators or paid service plans, these can be far cheaper — especially if you build DIY.
Future-proof tech: More people are building small mesh nodes, expanding reach. Being early means you learn a skill that may become more important.

⚠️ Things to consider
LoRa/Meshtastic isn’t a full substitute for high-bandwidth comms (video, large files) — it’s for text/data, location, signals.
Terrain and line-of-sight affect range. Hills, trees, structures reduce performance.
Setup & planning required: you’ll need compatible hardware, know how to set channels/frequencies, understand local regs.
Mesh networks are only as good as their nodes and the community using them. If just one device, you may not get relays.

🎒 In short
If you spend time outdoors, in remote locations, or just want a backup communication system you control — LoRa + Meshtastic is a smart combo.
Learn the tech now, carry a node, and you’ll have a resilient link when everything else fails.
