Re: Parasites and Menstrual Cycle

Ellen,

The question is more like WHAT didn't I do. In my teen's and 20's the Dr.'s reassured me that this wasn't a problem and gave me birth control pills. I never had a period while taking them. When I was 24 I stopped the pill and then took Provera (which maybe the worst substance known to man?) and it gave me a period but I was so depressed and even suicidal while taking that.....eventually that stopped working. I took Metformin/Glucophage and Avandia (they have restored periods in some women). Over the last 7 years I have tried Vitex, Saw Palmetto, Black and Blue Cohosh...and several other herbs I can't remember the name of.

I did get one period years ago after juicing carrots and parsely. At that time I didn't know the role of the liver in processing hormones...probably would have had continued results if my liver were functioning better.

In the last ten months I have done the following and probably any/all of this has made a difference to one degress or another:

1. Gave up beef, pork, caffeine, Sugar (try Stevia), white flour products and white rice.
2. Began parasite cleaning....I am using Parastroy this time and I think I am getting better results.
3. I did one mini-liver cleanse which is: 1 cup of grapefruit juice and 1-3 tbsp. of olive oil....wait an hour before eating, do this for 10 days, take a 3 day break and repeat.
4. I took 2 cans of Threelac for Candida.
5. I took a blend of olive leaf extract, pau d'arco and caprylic acid and a few other things...that really helped with cleansing my body.
6. I began skin brushing....lost 11 lbs (I think that shows just how toxic my system was)....I feel great and energized from the skin brushing. Also hot and cold showers.
7. I drink liquid chloryphyll in my water. Drink lots of water! I also use a pinch of Sea Salt in my water.
8. Reduced and/or elminated negative people that were unnecessary to my life.
9. Realized it was ok to take care of myself.....didn't mean I was selfish.

I am going to keep working on the parasite and candida issues. I also am going to give serious consideration to my liver! Other that a few cravings for carbs/junk food last week it has been a really easy adjustment. I think the cravings were due to yeast and parasite die off. I just made my mind up that I was tired of torturing myself and made a committment to live the rest of my life different than the first half.

Sorry to go on......but hope this helps.
