I have an article that I would like to mention. I found the link between birth control and inflammation in this article that I didn't know. Women that take birth control have almost twice as much C-reactive protein as woman who don't take birth control. CRP (C-reactive protein) is a product of systemic inflammation and is known to cause narrowing and hardening of the arteries. Take the time to read the article called Birth Control Pills-Still Holds Risks. For me, it is important to stay on an anti-inflammatory diet and get all the right nutrients I need. I have already increased my magnesium intake which usually helps with headaches. (Can't say it worked this week) I checked out the author of that article- By James B. LaValle, R.Ph, ND, CCN and found his site to be very informative. Please check them out when you have time. A pharmacist that isn't a pill pusher-Hmmm- and actually went into the integrative health route by becoming and Doctor of Naturopathy. Thanks to the Oak Stone Forum Blog I have a new website to watch.
