La ciencia en contra de la mujer | Joaquín Ruiz | TEDxCiudaddePuebla


[Music]
look if the statistics do not fail us the
100 percent of women who are
here you know at least one contraceptive 7
of 10 of you are users of any
maybe your friends your teachers your
family his doctors recommended him
they were told that their use was good
I was even responsible
but there is a bit of information that
maybe they did not give them
six of these seven women are in
risk of cervical cancer
invasive breast cancer and that is formed
a clot in your blood and you can kill them
let me put them in perspective
cancer and cardiovascular events are
the two main causes of death in
the world in women and also in our
country
only this year 15,000 women will die
because of these cancers in Mexico and
that is only the first cause of death
the second cardiovascular events 17
and a half million people die
a year in the world for this one of each
three people who die has to do
with cardiovascular events and if you use
hormonal contraceptives increases your
risk up to six times of presenting one
of these
and that without counting migraine cysts
changes in mood changes in
the weight
and the forced questions then are
we use medicines that make us sick and
can kill us and is that perhaps there is no
another solution
If there is another option and we are going to
talk
and actually we use these medications
because the national health systems
they have been more concerned about solving
problems that by attending patients
and that’s how contraception and
birth control have been
become a priority at the level
global and national especially in countries
like ours where there is a lot of poverty
look let me tell you a very
interesting because knowing the story
allows us to remember or understand why
we are here standing today our
History begins in 1800 with a politician
economic English that was called maltos
Malthus proposed the idea that
resources and populations grew to
different speeds in such a way that
if we do not stop the growth of the
population
resources would soon be over to him
two strategies occurred to him
prevent the poor from ending their
food 1 make them be born less poor and
2 get unwanted individuals
they are dying little by little
after malthus would be privileged
especially the strategy of being born
less poor indeed up to our
days we keep thinking that a baby or a
pregnancy is something that we
we should take care
and in this set I would arrive in the middle of
1940 saunier who was the creator and
creator of contraceptives such as
we know today she was a fighter
tireless for sexual rights and
but women ‘s reproductive
I did not have much appreciation for
less favored classes
she understood control of the
birth as the opportunity to give
more children to the more skilled and less
children to the less qualified by calling
the imbecile working classes
benign and human undergrowth
This idea continued to worry the
countries and started to take it to the
international meetings and even
began to see international meetings and
of the UN exclusively with this
ideology that we do so that we do not get
finish the resources
the first one exclusively for this was
in 1974 in bucharest there would be several
a very important 1994 in Cairo if
they ask me, there came confusion in
1994 in Cairo was recognized by
first time the right to decide the
number of children you want to have and the
space between them as well as access to
contraceptives as two rights
basic human beings of the
women and that deserves a round of applause
but there was so very confused
subtle the need to consume
contraceptives as if these were the
only option to achieve this freedom
in women and in medicine this happens
when the one you have is the only option
to give the treatment for a
disease then any effect
secondary can be tolerated for the sake of
to be able to receive the treatment and that’s how it is
that we finished today after
a long story thinking that the
contraceptives are the only option for
family planning for
prevention of pregnancy in adolescents
for the reduction of abortion
Currently, any reason is good
to put a woman in
contraception you bleed a lot you bleed
it hurts you have cysts myomas
endometriosis adenomyosis good acne
take contraceptives
A recent International Congress
proposed the strategy of distributing
massively contraceptives such as
plan to prevent poverty
global warming and until the
terrorism
and me that idea like I do not
I did not know very well
look since I started studying
medicine one of the things they told me
very clearly it was that our country
there was a lot of poverty and that one way
poverty reduction strategy was
achieve by whatever means that
there would be less poor
in such a way that in my guards during
the internship one of my functions
main was to convince more
women to sign for a
contraceptive I do not know if they know it but in
our country there is the goal embodied in
the specific plan of action of
contraception that 70 percent
of women who enter a
hospital to have a baby have to leave
or sterilized or with a contraceptive
long-term three of our
main institutions among which
highlights the link achieve this goal in
the link 83 percent of women
sign by one of these methods or what
say when I did my social service
rural there for the first time gave consultation
one on one as a doctor in training and
I received many complaints in person
women who told me here I feel bad
I do not like them I gained weight I have
alterations in mood I
my head hurts I have migraines
I had to tell them that it was not true
It could not be true it’s more I played
tell them that they could stand for three months
they would take away those real discomforts
he believed that if someone kaymer a
medication and then you take it three
months will be removed
look for answers I signed up for one of
the most demanding academic programs
of the country to become a gynecologist
I came across the best teachers at the level
national is more I was representative of
all the residents of mexico in
international congresses
we all had the same information
and maybe it’s because contraceptives
hormones are the treatment for everything
and currently the best- selling drug
and more prescribed in the world they generated
generating a multi-billion dollar industry
by his side
Nevertheless
we all had the same information not
I found answers and in my
despair
I opened the box
already inside the box I found myself not only
pads patches implants june rings
I also found an instructive
generally they have 20 pages this
It has 60 pages of really 60 pages
to learn how to take a pill
it was not saying put your tongue took a
drink of water
and ready
here the unthinkable
for the first time I realized that my
patients were right that their fears
they had grounds that their complaints were
certain here in a very subtle way
they recognized the relationship that existed between
these medicines and cancer among
these medications and the thrombosis between
these medications and death stop
consume them if you have severe pain in
the chest that radiates to the arm
left short of breath
partial or complete loss of vision
inability to speak
they just lacked to put stop taking it
if he is already dead
I do not know a woman who after
dead becomes pregnant can suspend it
a watershed in my life
for now I had the information that
these medications could harm
my patients and on the other hand this was
the current recommended treatment for
everything for which I had studied that
do
what would you do to give it to my
patients give it to my wife to think about
give it to my daughters I could not I did not want
urged me to an option urged me a
answer and the answer I found it
putting the woman back in her
cycle in the center of my attention
I discovered there were many others
scientists in the world who had
studied women and they had
put and laid the foundations of the
physiology and biochemistry of
hormonal functioning of women and
that was there published maybe not very
promoted but for 20 30 50 and
up to 100 years in particular I found myself
with a doctor in the USA in Omaha Nebraska
at Creighton University he had
developed a system with this same
name and he had integrated all this
knowledge of physiology
hormones and the evolution of the cycle of
women and had found that all
these changes had a manifestation
externally and that women and their partners
they could recognize them
easily and graph them in such a way
that women their partners could
understand know and predict when they were
fertile and when they were not fertile to
throughout its cycle out
giving him is a super information
to have all the freedom in the world
this system had grown as a
new option for women who
they wanted to live their sexuality freely and
little by little it has gradually become the
cornerstone of nanotechnology a
new way of exercising gynecology
that rescues the fundamental principles
of science and incorporates all the
technology that is up to this moment and
puts it at the service of women and
we your doctors allow us
diagnose the causes and treat
specifically because the woman plasma and
all evolution and all changes
normal and abnormal hormonal
cycle and allows us to identify precise
and treat things as easy as
Postpartum depression syndrome
premenstrual cysts in the ovaries
until such complex things like
infertility or women who have
abortions repeatedly
I had finally found a new way
to exercise my profession seeing my
patients to the eyes and knowing that no
it hurt them in this whole process I had
the fortune the honor and the taste of
meet other Mexicans with the
that we have been teaming up in
particular with two that have been that were
my colleagues in the specialty that
they had the same concern as me
we went together to study that they have
turned my friends my partners almost my
brothers and that together we decided to do the
first clinic in Mexico and
Latin America that offers this new
treatment option holistically
to all women
I fell in love with this way of doing
gynecology impassioned me and this new
form look one is sure is to say no
has no harmful side effects or
dangerous to anyone’s health
2 is for all
has been used in conditions such as
Calcutta in Nigeria with the Incas in Peru
in women with regular cycles and
regular nursing in
any time of your life
reproductive 3
is effective is efficient 99.6 percent
of comparable contraceptive effectiveness
with any other method and I have left
clear that this strategy does not intend
eradicate teenage pregnancy not
aims to eradicate infections from
sexual transmission is not intended to eradicate
global warming let alone
terrorism but if you intend
offer you women a
new personal care option that
offers total freedom
even hormone free
and 4 is healthy as I explained to you
allows us his doctors
Recognize and treat accurately
practically any condition of its
cycle in the end I do not want to finish
before making a special call to
our institutions and our
authorities to investigate what
develop to drive and generate
new ways of caring for our
women
Do not hurt them
to my colleagues
to scientists to doctors
gynecologists and any other
specialty to not get tired of
learn to think again about
why we are our
patients and put them back in the
center of our attention and everything
our effort to you men to
society in general to support
your women to live free
especially to you all women
those who see me so that they dare to be
free to live free of hormones to
that break this wall
so that they learn to listen to the language
in which your body speaks to you and what
understand
because you are the best thing that has
gone and we do not want to be followed
dying thank you very much
