Re: Parasites and Menstrual Cycle
Your experience certainly sounds familiar. I was put on the pill in college because that was the only "remedy" my doctors knew for my irregular cycles and debilitating cramps. I hated the way I felt on the pill and so fortunately quit taking it after a year. My cycles were more irregular than ever before. I was not yet very health conscious, and so I really didn't do much to heal underlying issues. I did start to consider the realtionship between my diet and cramps, though (excruciating pain is hard to ignore). By eliminating bad oils and hormone-laden foods I rid myself of cramps.
I also have candida, and have lately been focusing on my digestion. I have totally cleaned up my diet (no refined foods whatsoever and lots of enzyme and nutrient dense foods), have used Primal Defense with great results, and have in general adopted a healthier attitude and lifestyle. Your loss of 11 lbs is familiar- I have lost 15 lbs over the past year just by cleaning up my system and killing off candida. It's amazing, isn't it?
I am now really trying to focus on my hormone issues. I don't know what was going on with the vitex. It seemed to be having some sort of effect, but after 3 months of no period I decided that I needed to stop taking it for a while. I think that my hormones will be able to self-regulate once I get my body cleaned out. I am doing my second
Liver Flush tomorrow night, have recently started the P&B shakes, and will do a
parasite cleanse soon as well. Thanks for all of your great info. I hope that your health continues to improve.
By the way, have you read Julia Chang's website at www. sensiblehealth.com? I found her story very helpful.
