Introduction and Request for Help

[Guest guest]

Hi. My name is Lynn and I just joined the list. I live in the

beautiful Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania. (Audrey, it's almost as

beautiful here as it is in Asheville.) As I've read through the initial

messages that I've received there is an immediate connection with

kindred spirits. Blessings to each of you.

 

I am not an expert in any holistic modality or the mind and body

connection and am here to learn. I'll be glad to contribute from my

experiences whenever appropriate. I am fascinated with many holistic

modalities and will use them as my form of health care whenever

possible. It's just not easy to find the right care givers.

 

I'm asking for some guidance here, and I hope this is not inappropriate

for the list. My frustration at the moment has been with me for several

years, and that frustration is PMS. It has been worsening since I had a

miscarriage at age 40 and I am now 45. That was my only pregnancy.

I've tried herbs, a more natural and live diet, chiropractic

adjustments, a little bit of work with the chakras, and a lot of

reading. Have had a little success with the combination of these, and

still feel very out of balance.

 

Last night I was reading an article in the most recent " Natural Health "

magazine about a woman who had healed her hip through touch therapy.

Her therapist, like a homeopath, wanted to first know everything about

her – she wanted to know the whole person. Through the touch therapy

she was teaching this woman to heal herself. She used her mind to work

in conjunction with her body until it was healed – believing all along

that her hip would be healed.

 

Well, I'm thinking that therapy similar to this is what I need for the

PMS. The physical aspects of my PMS are not nearly as bad as the mental

ones. The natural foods, the soy products, the green leafy vegetables

along with the Dong Quai, Raspberry, Blessed Thistle, and the multitude

of other herbs I've taken just haven't done the job. I've had a

thorough saliva test done only to find that my estrogen level is fine,

and my progesterone and testosterone levels are so high that they are

literally off the chart. The doctor was stymied, and we don't know what

to do from here. I've begun to wonder if this is connected to how I

view of my own sexuality or something.

 

I've read Louise Hay's book, " You Can Heal Yourself " , a few times, and

this leads me in the right direction. But I was wondering if there are

professional coaches out there, or what type of natural health care

practictioner I should look for, or another book that you all could

recommend.

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you all may have.

hello Lynn

 

do you have cravings for carbohydrates before the period?

 

you mentioned soy products. indeed a lack of calcium may worsen the pms

syndrome

mentally & phisically, but i've heard about many clinical researches wich

put soy out of the question. they claim that soy shrinks the brain ,,, if

you are interested i can send you the full reports or send their urls.

 

about pregnaNCY I DO BELIEVE that vivid visualisation is one of the

keys that might help.

wishing you all the best

Hi Anat,

I would like to have the information you have on Soy and the urls, I belong

to a list of people trying to heal their kids with the Prader-Willi Syndrome

holistically and they use a lot of soy. It has been something I have stayed

away from just because of my own intuition and would love to have information

on it.

Thanks so much!!!!

Have a Great Day

Debbie

Hello Lynn,

I am new to this list as well and mostly listen. I am fairly new to the

spiritual healing but my intuition and healing abilities are increasing. With

the healing I have done, I believe there is a need to release the pain this

miscarriage caused your body, and to heal the emotions that your body is

holding onto. The PMS is your body crying out for help. When something like

that happens it attaches itself to the body and causes other problems as a

sign telling you, you need to heal this. Most people tend to ignore the signs

and just try to cure the symptoms. I believe you need to figure out where it

is in your body and release it. Things tend to happen in this life time as

they have in others if they haven't been released and healed from the body.

You also need to learn your lessons as you release this.

I believe in colors and healing of the charkas, and the color orange is for

the second chakra. You can also use the energy from stones, an orange one,

forgive me, I don't remember the name of the one I use...te he he....and it

is in my room where my hubby is sleeping, I am up way too late on the

computer here and I can't go in there, but wanted to respond to your post.

Have a Great Day!

Debbie

A Healing Touch or Therapeutic Touch practitioner or perhaps

a Reiki practioner can do a chakra balance on you and teach

you how to do a chakra self-balance. I suspect that you

will find that helpful.

Dear Lynn:

I'm new here to, but I'd like to help if I can in the form of a few

suggestions. Now, please know, I'm not a doctor, but I am a nurse, and have

worked in alternatives for about 10 yeas.

What I heard from your letter is that your greatest problem with your PMS

is the mental problems. From what I've learned, this most frequently comes

from swelling or fluid build up in the brain. Just like our ankles swell so

to do our brains. Thats why natural diuretics can really help. When the

brain swells it can make for mood swings. Asperagus is a great natural

diuretic as well as cornsilk, and many herb teas. In another article I

read, for people with extreme clinically diagnosed mood swings from PMS,

they have given them Lithium. Now this makes sense, as Lithium is a salt

and can change how the body holds fluids. They've had alot of success with

it. But Lithium is a pretty harsh drug for minor problems. But there is a

product out there called " Trace Minerals " , by a company of the same name

" Trace Minerals " . In it is many minerals in minute forms that just aren't

present in our water systems. One of the minerals is Lithium. But only in

tiny amounts. Yet it would seem that those tiny amounts are enough for many

people. I've seen alot of clients in my store get results from this product

for PMS. Trace Minerals even has a blend for PMS with the trace minerals in

it. Call around at your health food stores for it. Or perhaps you cantact

the company directly.

This is just a sugggestion. Does anyone out there have any other opinions

on trace minerals?

Good luck to you, I know your going through a rough time to be reaching

out this way.

love,

P.S. If you have trouble finding it nearby, or from the Company, just email

me and I can help you.

Hi Lynn.

 

I use Evening Primrose Oil... 1300 mg a day for my PMS, and it is

GONE!!! I also use progesterone cream 3 weeks out of the month.

 

I just started this routine 2 months ago, and it's made a tremendous

difference in my life. My last period I breezed right through what

normally would have been ugly PMS symptoms, cramps, etc... with no

symptons at all. I even had to stop and realize that I DIDN'T have

any PMS!!

 

I've also noticed that over-all, I seem to be thinking clearer, and

not so emotionally up and down. I don't feel like my feelings are

deadened by any means, but more that I am able to handle them on a

different level, and not be ruled by them.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Namaste,

Becky...
