Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 Menstruation is associated with three major losses from the body: water, iron, and calcium. These losses create the following major problems. Water loss leads to increase in internal body temperature, constipation, and dehydration. Therefore, we have all the problems associated with dehydration such as cramps due to the muscle fibres shortening their length as the water is squeezed out from the muscle fibres. During menstruation ( or the onset of it ), the muscles in the abdominal regions and the pelvic regions are the first ones to experience this dehydration, and so many experience stomach pains ( It is very much like the cramps you get after hiking, running etc ). The way to beat this is to sip lots of water, so that the system is compensated for the water loss. Also, to keep the muscles in the abdominal and pelvic regions flexible and stretched regularly, using some yoga exercises. Also, choose foods that do not have a high burst of caloric intake ( such as sweets, meats, spices, etc ), as these will hike up the body temperature very rapidly, leading to further dehydration of the body. As the body temperature goes up, more is the loss of blood too, and it gets into a vicious circle. To compensate for the loss of iron in blood, take greens. For the above-mentioned reason, try not to go for meat-sources to compensate for iron-loss. It is the iron which carries the oxygen to different parts of the body and all the cells to function happily. Greens have tons of calcium too. When the blood calcium levels are low, pain and cramps go up. So, think greens, vegetables, and dairy products to compensate for calcium loss. If you are a coffee drinker, more calcium is lost in the urine. Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 In Prof. Arnold Ehret's "The Mucusless Diet Healing System" he discovered that once the body is completely cleansed the menstruation stops as well. During that cycle your body throws off a tremendous amount of toxins that more than likely you have eaten. I have a friend who suffered from pms and was a new woman once she got clean. You can be free too! AMEN! Victor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 I am currently post-moon cycle and having no problems. Amazing! I don't have answers, but the moon cycle traumas were biggies for me. We have something to learn from this pain. For each of us, it must have different meaning and the solutions must also vary. The traps for disguising pain vary. Here is one. A woman came to me several weeks ago for a shiatsu. She was severely constipated (once every three days) and was concerned with the pain and blood of hemroids. Later I found that she was taking the pill to stop her period. In other words she was stopping two natural elmination cycles and thought nothing of it or at least did not relate the two problems as having similar patterns. According to her, of course if a doctor told her to take the pill so she had no moon cycle, then that made sense. As far as she was concerned, her only other alternative was intense pain. Here is my trap. At about age 40, (I'm now 53) I took a doctor's suggested Advil to stop moon pain. For years I did that. In the last few years of this regiem, I needed 4 Advil and they were only effective for a few hours. Until I found out that I had an enlarged uterus filled with little knots (fibroids), I was very docile. Then, I asked around and found that there were many women with similar stories. I decided that I needed to experience the pain to work through it. I can't tell you the specific wisdom that years of intense pain gave me, but all pain seems to have some message. Karma? It has helped me to change my whole lifestyle for the better. Sat Nam Gian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 I would continue with the Lachesis if you think it is your constitutional remedy because that will help everything over the long run. Mag Phos 30 was probably too strong and you had a strong "homeopathic aggravation." But that is often a sign it can help at the right dosage. 9C would probably work better.

Normally menstruation stops, when we are old enough. We can do a lot, to make it easier, for example keep yourself warm and don't think you have to work as hard as every day. These are days to have some time for myself, to allow myself to be a little bit more slowly, to take a wonderful bath, to read a book, to drink a lot of tea... - but I can't believe, that we can stop it, and I don't know why we should stop it. We are women and it is just normal to have it. Blessings to you and all Sonja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2002 Report Share Posted September 13, 2002 For me Chocolate can really be something like a remedy for PMS, it depends on the dosage! ********* 12.09.02 20:34:55, "Lori Worley" <lori.worley wrote: >I've been told that Hazrat Inayat Khan, a Sufi master, had a fondness for >chocolate.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Within the past few months, I can't eat plain chocolate anymore (like candy). I can eat it chocolate flavored foods like cakes or cookies, but not the candy. It's just WAY too sweet for me now. But up to this point, I used to be a total chocoholic. And my husband (and during college my roommates) could tell when my moon cycle was about to begin by my chocolate intake. I hadn't even noticed the trend I had developed. But I would easily consume a half a bag of hershey kisses in one sitting. I know many woman who are like that. I think there is something in chocolate that either the body craves or has some kind of emotional affect on woman at that time.

I've noticed the same thing over the past few months. I switched to dark chocolate. I used to hate it but now I like it even better than I ever liked milk chocolate. That may be a bad thing. >I think there is something in chocolate that either the body craves or >has >some kind of emotional affect on woman at that time. I think its magnesium that's in chocolate that we crave. I'll still take the chocolate.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Chocolate is just jammed full of hormones, especially the female variety, and this is why women like it so much at that time of the month. That is also why it is a traditional gift for a man to give a woman --- you know, make her feel good..............

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Chocolate may not be a cure for PMS but it is healthy to eat some, it has properties in it that are healthy for you.
