I never wanted to stop a natural cycle of my body. So I never wanted to artificially stop menses (tubes tied, hysterectomy, birth control, etc). Or do things from reducing a fever to fusing back vertebrae or removing tonsils or the gallbladder... I always try to find alternatives first--i.e., a liver/gallbladder cleanse saved my gallbladder a year ago. I believe my Creator God designed my body to function. I'm leery of big pharma and the medical field that want to slash off body parts here and there. I've seen so many people (men & women) have terrible complications from their prescriptions and surgeries.
