But who knows. I certainly don’t; I don’t even have a vagina!

(And that should be on *my* tag-line page!)

Ha!! : ) I don’t know what a tag-line page is yet, but that most definitely needs to be on yours. I’m being serious.

But yeah, it’s easier to just down some pills, continue living your, at best unhealthy, at worst self-destructive lifestyle and just not think about it. I guess that’s what passes for “Healthy, Wealthy and Wise” these days?

Totally.

I’d rather err on the side of trusting Nature than trusting the word of some shady magazine drug pusher with a serious financial agenda.

You should put that in your tag line sheet, which you should also make (?)

Whiskey, yeah. There are natural ways to alleviate these things through energy work though, and I have done it but I don’t know enough about how it works to adequately transmit meaningful knowledge about it.

And there also seems (from the outside looking in) to be a heavy psychological component as well, having to do with the body/emotion level of connection, for how strong it is in people, or how suppressed.

To me, it sounds like having bad periods in bad relationships may have obvious roots of your actual body trying to forcibly reject insemination efforts - to be sterile-sounding about it. But who knows. I certainly don’t; I don’t even have a vagina!

Very shortly after I left that guy and moved to live up in the mountains with some friends, the pain just stopped. One time about three months into living there, I forgot to preventatively down some painkillers, and to my disbelief, found out I didn’t need them. I don’t know if it was living in the mountains (I suspect that was part of it), the fact that I was no longer in that intensely stressful, unhappy relationship, or something else, or some combination of factors, but there it was.

So as with so many things that people are coerced into suppressing with drugs, there is something more fundamental, even psychological at the root of the problem. If nothing else, moving into a much more natural, much less stressful environment seems to make all the difference. So what’s that about? But yeah, it’s easier to just down some pills, continue living your, at best unhealthy, at worst self-destructive lifestyle and just not think about it. I guess that’s what passes for “Healthy, Wealthy and Wise” these days?

I remember being sold on birth control pills for awhile to ‘regulate’ my periods and reduce the pain, but even that I stopped after awhile because I had this nagging intuition that something was very wrong with messing with my hormones. Hormones are kind of really important to a lot of things, from what I know. So to be messing with them to the point that you stop your periods altogether? That’s ultra-fucked. I have no serious research to back that up, but I’d rather err on the side of trusting Nature than trusting the word of some shady magazine drug pusher with a serious financial agenda.

PS: If the pain’s really bad, you can always just take 3 Ibuprophens and an extra-strength aspirin. That’ll take it down to a mild ‘character-building’ level of pain, and as far as drugs go, it is the far lesser of two evils, far less removed from nature and even supposedly has some health benefits. And it’s only for a couple days out of the month so it’s basically harmless. (I’m going on the word of my husband on that. He used to be a pharmacist, stays current on drug research and cares about me, so I trust his judgement)

PPS: Or there’s always whiskey.

While were on toxins. Your appendix holds good bacteria in storage in case you get dysentery etc. People in countries with bad water, like India, have a very low rate of stomach cancer while people in countries w/clean water like New Zealand etc. have a high rate. They believe that if you survive one of the various water born diseases you gain immunity and science is trying to make vaccines from this knowledge. Some cases of Asthma are thought to be causes by a lack of exposure to certain bacteria in dirt. Also fodder for a vaccine.
