PMS?? Hair Loss?? Moodiness?? Headaches?? More....

Ok, I will ask a real question. Just so Bunz won't be mean to me anymore.

I read that if you drink too much water that it can wash away some of the vitamins you eat before your body can absorb them. Can the same ring true with detoxing too much?

[Kathe]

It is true with water. Detoxing should be done according to directions. This detox is done for 7 days once a month. Any more than that isn't good for you. The exception is the first time you do it you can do it for up to 14 days.

Water should be half your body weight in ounces every day.

I drink WAY more than that.
























in beer.

So does detox help w/ headaches? Also how do you want us to handle questions unrelated to topics on hand? Will you just pull and start a thread as needed? I was wondering if there is anything that can help w/ ovulation pains? My wife will get pains sometimes during ovulation. Some months it's nothing and sometimes it is bad. Dr says not much can be done unless it gets worse and everytime, then its just surgery but that is a last resort. It's not a big deal now, but wondered if there were any natural means to help.

A large double-blind, placebo-controlled study found positive results using calcium for the treatment of PMS symptoms. Participants took 300 mg of calcium (as calcium carbonate) four times daily. Compared to placebo, calcium significantly reduced mood swings, pain, bloating, depression, back pain, and food cravings.

The herb chasteberry is widely used in Europe as a treatment for PMS symptoms. More than most herbs, chasteberry is frequently called by its Latin names: Vitex or Vitex agnus-castus.

A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 178 women found that treatment with chasteberry over 3 menstrual cycles significantly reduced PMS symptoms. The dose used was one tablet 3 times daily of a chasteberry dry extract. Women in the treatment group experienced significant improvements in symptoms, including irritability, depression, headache, and breast tenderness.
Unfortunately, there is little corroborating evidence as yet for this one well-designed study.

A previous double-blind trial compared chasteberry to vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) instead of placebo.9 The two treatments proved equally effective. However, because vitamin B6 itself has not been shown effective for PMS Even better evidence indicates that chasteberry can help the cyclic breast tenderness often, but not necessarily, connected with PMS.

Progesterone cream is sometimes recommended for PMS, but there is no meaningful evidence that it is effective.


preliminary studies suggest that magnesium may also be helpful in PMS. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 32 women found that magnesium taken from day 15 of the menstrual cycle to the onset of menstrual flow could significantly improve premenstrual mood changes.

Another small double-blind preliminary study found that regular use of magnesium could reduce symptoms of PMS-related fluid retention. In this study, 38 women were given magnesium or placebo for 2 months. The results showed no effect after one cycle, but by the end of two cycles, magnesium significantly reduced weight gain, swelling of extremities, breast tenderness, and abdominal bloating.


In addition, one small double-blind study (20 participants) found that magnesium supplementation might help prevent menstrual migraines. preliminary evidence suggests that combining vitamin B6 with magnesium might improve the results.
