Take your family's advice. Altering your body with chemicals, which is what ALL birth control pills are is not natural. Give your body a chance to recover itself. I also agree with the natural diet route, eliminating processed/prepared foods. Try eating raw fruits and vegetables and pure protein sources (baked/steamed chicken or alaskan salmon) at least 2 times/week. Limit carbs, eat whole grains & cut out processed and refined flours. Eat nothing with "high fructose syrups" or "yeast extracts" or "aspertame" or "dyes" (you'll be shocked at how many things this will eliminate from your diet) You will be amazed at how much more energy you will have and how good you will feel in just a few weeks. (it is a slow process purging yourself of all the food additives most of us eat on a daily basis)
