This site is dedicated to empowering women 
by providing information about the risks
 associated with synthetic hormones.

 "You will expand in abundance, success and love, everyday, as you inspire
      those around you to do the same" 
-
Gay Hendricks, "The Big Leap"

It is our most sincere hope that other young women will find information here that may save their lives.

Picture
All efforts associated with this website are made in loving memory of
Erika Louise Langhart, who passed away on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2011, in Washington, DC of a double Pulmonary Embolism, which her doctors cited as being a direct result of using a Third Generation Contraceptive.


We are committed to researching and presenting information about the life-threatening dangers of synthetic hormones & contraceptives.  If we or our beloved daughter had known, she would still be with us;  dynamic and passionate in her love for life.

The second page of this site "3rd Generation Contraceptives" has a general overview of what some of these hormones are and some symptoms often associated with them.

The "Research" page has links to articles, studies and informative websites. The link "Share Your Story" is a blog where you can share information or personal experiences that may be helpful to others.
