The Abortion Pill
Can it be reversed?
“Mifepristone mimics the action of naturally occurring progesterone and attaches to the progesterone receptors in layers of the placenta. When that happens, the placenta does not grow the blood vessels that supply nutrition and oxygen to the developing embryo or fetus, which dies. Mifepristone also prevents naturally occurring progesterone from getting into the receptor, which would support life.
Because of my background in biology, and specifically in protein-receptor mechanics, I knew that mifepristone could be out-competed by an abundance of progesterone, which would reactivate the progesterone receptor. If we supplied enough good keys into this patient’s system, then we could override the bad keys locking the progesterone receptor.
I had never heard of progesterone being used in this way, but I did know that taking progesterone was safe in pregnancy, especially the bio-identical type that we used.”
