What would you do if you found out that a drug that had been given to your mother while pregnant with you could prevent you from having children? Diethylstilbestrol (or Di-ethyl-Stilbestrol) or DES is the first synthetic man made female sex hormone (oestrogen) prescribed for public use mainly between 1938 and 1971 (but not limited to those years). Used primarily to prevent miscarriage and complications in pregnancy, in North America, Europe, and Australia for more than 40 years. Aggressive marketing pushed DES (spelled diethylstilboestrol in the UK) to also be used for more than 100 additional medical conditions. Never patented, DES was marketed using hundreds of brand names in the mistaken belief it prevented miscarriages and premature deliveries.

Even at that point, it still may not be entirely clear that drug addiction takes its toll on almost every socio-economic group in the United States. This isn’t something that effects the poor. This is effecting everyone, especially the rich! On TheOrganicView, we will interview Lydia Proschinger who will discuss drug addiction and co-dependency. This is one episode you don’t want to miss!
