Re: menses early and terrible cramps

"it's as if the Iodine has unleashed a whole pile of stuff": yes, it does that. But then, that's why we take it. But preferably without any pain of course.

I recognise your troubles with your menses. In my case it turns out to be a lack of magnesium as well as vitamin A (the real stuff: retinol). In order to fix this I take: magnesium with p5p (to better absorb and use magnesium) as much as my body will take without getting diarrhea, Vit A 3 x 25.000 IU, Vit D 3 x 10.000 IU, vit E 400 IU, vit K2 (!!) 2 x vitK2 MK7 100 mcg + 3 x vitK2 MK4 15 mg, zinc 50 mg. It stopped the cramps and heavy flow in 1,5 day. Do take care that you take all the fat soluble vitamins and not just one or a few: you risk toxicity if you do that. Weston Price had good info on the fat soluble vitamins.

I take 75.000 IU vit A per day so I can rebuild my stores. See below for a list of things to know about vitamin A: there are a few on there that make me deplete my stores continuously (this will change when I stop detoxing I presume).

Things to know about vitamin A:
-High protein diet depletes your vit A stores
-a cause of vitamin A deficiency to include is low stomach acid
-Hypothyroid patients don’t convert beta carotenes to vit A
-Infections and other stresses deplete vit A stores
-Vit A defeciency leads to diarrhea, because all mucous membranes need vitA
-Vit A deficiency leads to boils, sinusitis, frequent cold and respiratory infections, insomnia, fatigue, dry eyes, peeling lips, longitudinal ridges on nails ....
-You need zinc for proper vit A function: An adequate supply of zinc is needed so that the liver can mobilize vitamin A out of its storage depots.
-Vitamin A needs B2: http://ezinearticles.com/?Vitamin-A-and-Vitamin-B2-For-Acne,-and-the-Baboon-E... http://www.allgoneacne.com/Acne_Vitamins1.html
-Vitamin A is known to help with excess estrogen so a simple increase in the amount of natural Vitamin A in the diet can help reduce heavy cyclical bleeding.
-Vitamin A deficiency will give you tinnitis http://www.earthclinic.com/Supplements/vitamin-a.html#TINNITIS
-J. Wright: Toxicity symptoms include: hair loss, headaches, nausea, bone and joint pain.

The good news is that heavy periods frequently respond well to simple nutritional support.
Vitamin A is known to help with excess estrogen so a simple increase in the amount of natural Vitamin A in the diet can help reduce heavy cyclical bleeding.
It is important to note that beta carotene will not help here – it must be true vitamin A best found in sufficient doses in high vitamin cod liver oil.
According to a case study written about in the book Eat Fat, Lose Fat, 2 TBL of high vitamin cod liver oil per day supplying about 60,000 IU of Vitamin A for 3 days in a row eliminated this debilitating problem for one woman who had been suffering from what she called a “never ending period” for 4 years!
What’s more, a simple daily maintenance dose of 1 TBL of high vitamin cod liver oil (30,000 IU of Vitamin A) was sufficient to keep the problem at bay indefinitely.
