WOW, That stuff causes epigenetic changes, which means they are even inherited from generation to generation!
I wonder how may other medicines and even "safe" food additives cause similar changes.
At least it seems that nowadays doctors are a bit more careful with medicines given to pregnant women.
Stevenator and Teddy,
Thank you for the link and info. It's nice to know that I am not alone.
When I was a child, I was very emotionally sensitive, nurturing and empathetic. My bothers were tough guys. I was constantly criticized for being too sensitive, different and not tough enough. I tried to compensate by lifting weights and playing sports. I thought if I could build huge muscles my family would finally accept me and I could lose the feeling of being wrong, defective, broken. I never felt accepted by them and I never lost those feelings. Many decades later, I am still trying to lose that toxic shame. I am trying to accept myself and I feel more complete as a woman. The herbs that I take have played a huge role in my spirit and soul.
Kay
