Re: Should the blood almost look black
I found this on line... This is a description of what I think is going on with you..
This usually takes the form of incompletely flushed uterine fluids from
period to period. When the patient reports she sees dark blood at
either the onset or end of menstruation, it is an indication that her
uterus has been unable to flush itself out completely from month
to month so menstrual fluid has stayed behind and become
hard, dark and thick.
(Copalchi) loosens the accumulated
hardened fluid and helps it to pass with the next menses.
"Excessive bleeding during menstruation, excessively dark menstrual blood, foul menstrual odor and irregular menstrual cycles usually indicate a condition of blood toxemia as well as endocrine imbalance, which itself I often a result of blood toxemia; these problems generally respond very well to a program of fasting and chronic irrigation to cleanse the bloodstream and rebalance the endocrine system, followed by nutritional therapy.
Fennel juice: "Florence Fennel" fennel juice is a highly effective blood builder, and thus helps correct menstrual disorders; best mixed half/half with carrot juice, 1 -2 pints daily.
Carrot, beet, cucumber juice: an excellent all-around blend for cleaning and balancing sexual organs and glands, via its natural affinity for the kidneys; 10oz/3oz/3oz, 2 pints daily.
Carrot and spinach juice: specific affinity for blood and lower bowels, this blend eliminates the source of blood toxemia in the colon, thereby neutralizing the blood toxemia that causes menstrual problems; 10oz/6oz, 1 -2 pints daily.
Whole lemon puree: this remedy has worked wonders in correcting all sorts of menstrual disorders, including excess bleeding, foul odor, dark blood, irregularity and the stress of menopause; same use as for leucorrhoea.
Molasses: builds and balances the blood, especially the vital hemoglobin components; 2 tbsp in warm water, twice daily.
Other beneficial foods: whole orange or grapefruit puree; seaweed (kelp); beet juice; black grapes (exclusively for 1 -3 days); wheat germ oil.
Foods to avoid: pasteurized milk; cooked eggs; fatty meats, especially pork; hydrogenated fats; refined starch and sugar."
