This is because there are some oral contraceptives that can help reduce the production of excessive sebum in the skin. One of the main causes of acne is overactive sebaceous glands in the skin that produces excessive sebum. By taking oral contraceptives while under medical supervision, you will be able to control your acne problem. Of course, it is better to consult your gynecologist on the best oral contraceptive to be taken to effectively control your acne problem. Another form of treatment for severe acne is the injection of a corticosteroid in the lesion. This is a great option when preparing for an important function. All that is done here is that a mild steroid is injected into the cyst. The acne is then substantially reduced over a period of a few days’ time. With this option for treating acne, you find that it prevents scarring as it reduces all p...

College student cough up costs, kids
2007-07-27 12:00:00 College kids may soon find themselves paying for two tuitions if they're not careful. Cheap contraceptives are no longer being supplied to colleges across the country. As a result of the Deficit Reduction Act signed in last year, discounted anti-daddy drugs became "a disincentive for drug makers". Budgeting for books or babies may prove difficult between school and sex, so at least now you'll have a decent excuse for not reading the course materials.tags technorati : birthcontrol college contraceptives deficitreductionact drugs school universities

Scientists discover male contraceptives
2006-12-02 16:15:03 Yes. Scientists have now discovered "an innovative contraceptive pill that makes men infertile within hours.""Experts say a male pill could transform family planning roles by allowingcouples to share the responsibility of contraception ? a burden that usuallyfalls to women."Contraception... burden?? Jokingly, I always tell Michael that the end of the world or the "three days of darkness" are near. In all honesty though, when you read news like these, how the God-made union between a man and a woman is reduced to an animal act and how the human person is violated even before they are born, I have a hard time thinking of ways that we can revert from this culture of death.Visit Australia's Herald Sun for the full story.

Christians, Contraceptives and Children
2006-08-20 19:27:04 I recently came across an interesting article from the Wall Street Journal on evangelicals and contraception (HT: Sharper Iron Filings). Let me provide some excerpt and then pose some questions. A Harris Poll conducted online in September 2005 shows that evangelicals overwhelmingly support birth control (88%). A recent New York Times article on the subject, it is true, quoted Albert Mohler, the president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, saying that the separation between sex and procreation caused by contraceptives is “ominous.” But he also went on to say that “evangelical couples may, at times, choose to use contraceptives in order to plan their families and enjoy the pleasures of the marital bed.”… Protestants’ acceptance of contraception has a relatively short history. The 1930 Lambeth conference of Anglican bishops was the first Christian church body to authorize the use of contraceptives within marriage, even as it condemned certain ... |
