BM's and Menopause---Is it really Necesssary?

[Guest guest]

Not that this really concerns me. I'm a guy. But I love learning new

and interesting things.

 

I came across this really interesting article:

 

Menstruation - - Is it Really Necessary?

August 1, 2002

 

[special Thanks to Habib at misc.health.alternative.]

 

Women call it " the Curse " with feeling and good reason - the monthly

bleeding of menstruation, with its days of inconvenience, discomfort

and pain, is the bane of women's existence from menarche to

menopause. So universal in our modern culture is this miserable

experience that it is assumed to be inevitable. Doctors and the

women's media attempt to cast it in a favourable light with trite

comments about " welcoming " it as the sign and sacrifice one makes

in " becoming a woman " . Yet there is probably not a woman anywhere

who wouldn't gladly do away with it if she safely could!

 

In fact, menstruation as most of us experience it is neither natural

nor healthy. Ovulation does not depend on it. And it can be changed

very much for the better - even to the extent of not experiencing it

at all yet remaining healthy and fertile. How this can be done has

been known and written about by health practitioners for centuries,

and practiced just as long by women willing to make the simple but

significant lifestyle changes involved.

 

So why haven't most of us heard about this before?

 

It is because the lifestyle improvements involved, although simple,

are quite a change from most modern women's habits of living and

eating. No drugs or even nutritional supplements are required, but

what is essential is the adoption of what health writer Leslie

Kenton calls a " high raw way of eating " .....

Interesting article My view is if it (the montly period) isn't natural (just

IMHO), then why did God (or the goddess, whoever one believes in) make it a part

of our anatomy and life cycle? And why do all other female animals (mammals)

also menstrate, albeit at different cycles.

 

Plus, like other body parts (think flaking skin), it needs to shed old cells and

the other icky stuff to make room for new healthy material.

hello...

 

from a little bit of reading, (and another male perspective), I think

that menstruation is natural. it's the 3rd Phase of the female sexual

cycle, with the cycle being the endometrium of the uterus exhibiting a

sequence of changes.

 

The 1st phase, the Follicular Phase, has as part of it, the endometrium

increases in thickness......and then " ...in the average unhealthy

woman, the endometrium increases about threefold. If you are living

healthfully, these changes may not be so great.... " p.1640

 

2nd phase: Luteal Phase - .... " ...Again, these changes are subtle in

the healthy individual... "

 

quoting: [Menstrual Abnormalities

 

Extremely heavy flow, pain and cramps during the menstrual cycle is

abnormal. These symptoms indicate toxicity and the need for a fast and

general renovations of your lifestyle. A healthy individual should

experience no pain during this time and a flow of short duration. Some

Hygienists experience no flow at all and this is also considered

normal. A sick individual could also experience absence of menstrual

flow and this could be due to several reasons. Hormonal imbalances,

extreme weakness and underweight (due to a state of toxicosis), trauma,

etc., could result in cessation of menstruation. A fast and a change

in lifestyle is in order in this case. After health has been restored,

menstruation may or may not recommence. if it does, flow will be light

adn there should be no pain.] p. 1640, LSHS (lesson written by Susan

Hazard, Ph.D.)

 

Meaning, unfortunately, that it's now normal, meaning that in our high

pathological, developed society most females now have pain and heavy

flow. Some Hygienists, T.C. Fry amongst them, believe it is

lifestyle/diet-based.

 

all the best,

my dear bob, you have noooooooooooooooo idea how lucky you have it at least

physically. unless of course, one is of a said group of men on the receiving

end of a woman's monthly PMS. :-D All those hormone levels can wreak serious

physical harm on men. *lolol*

Good points - It common knowledge that when a female begins to ovulate, each

month the lining of her uterus begins to prepare for pregnancy - and when there

is no conception/fertilized egg - that the uterus then sheds the excess lining -

bringing on a females monthly period.

This is the natural cycle and reason for female menstruation. End of story.
