NEED HELP W/ AMENORRHEA
12/06/2011: Vanu from Pune, Maharashtra, India writes: "Hello Ted, I'm 32 yrs old. I had read a lot about ACV. I just want to know will it help me as I'm having no periods without pills. I'm married for 8 years. Having no child. My Dr.detected high prolactin level I.E. 119 (should be 2-28) pcod, small tumour in pituitary gland (4.3mm), obesity. Plz help. No allopathy med. is working on me. Now trying homeopathy med. (ruta-6). Still not getting any results. I'm getting depressed now. Will anything help me out? Plz, plz help me if you can.

Thanks Ted"

12/12/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Both amenorrhea and cancer are the result of excess prolactin. Too much prolactin occurs when there are signs of cancer, amongst other causes. The causes are several, but the prolactin may be lowered with melatonin, by helping with sleep and reduction of stress, the other one is B3 niacinamide 500 mg taken at night. Vitamin C is a common remedy for cancer but is taken 250 to 500 mg hourly for 6 hours for a week (at least), should result in some normalization in prolactin levels. The prolactin levels can actually be excessive if there is already a tumor in the pituitary glands. The tumor may be of viral or fungal causes, and that is easily taken care of by looking at your sugar levels. Often my normal Fasting Blood Glucose is 80 to 90 mg/dL. The second tests is one hour after eating (I don't do 2 hours because cancer tends to be high in blood glucose after 1 hour, not 2), if it is below 100 mg/dL, the tumors generally don't have a chance to grow, especially by avoiding sweet fruits, sugar, honey, fructose beverages, and if you measure that in spite of avoiding it, then you may need to also avoid carbohydrates, such as wheat, rice, etc from looking at your 1 hour after meal blood glucose test. Once the tumor has regressed, then prolactin should be in the normal range.

What I do find is vitamin B complex such as B50 is required, to have regular menstrual periods, and once the periods are normal range, the B50 can also be discontinued or taken once a week as a maintenance dose. In order to stop the progression of the tumor, my favorite has always been 1/4 teaspoon of lysine and threonine 1/8 teaspoon for 4 hours in morning, and 3 hours in the evening for at least 3 days. Subsequent doses after this are 4 hourly doses of lysine 1/4 teaspoon and threonine 1/8 is taken in evening hourly only. If you should have a sugar craving is it a sign of hypoglycemia, which is easily prevented by glucogenic amino acids such as glutamine and glycine. The preferred amino acid is glycine, taken hourly at 1/4 teaspoon hourly for 4 hours on subsequent dose and perhaps some glutamine, such as once 1/4 teaspoon only, until the sugar craving or hypoglycemic effects are reduced after meals. To get the rest of the tumors in regression the Lugol's iodine (or for less side effects, SSKI which is super saturated potassium iodide) is taken, starting at one to two drops in the evening before sleep might be one way. Germanium will increase oxygen (hypoxic conditions are favorable for tumor development), in the cells and maybe reishi mushroom (lin zhi mushroom) tea can be taken at least once a day."

AMENORRHEA: NO PERIOD W/O PILLS
10/23/2011: Anonymous from Anonymous writes: "First of all I would like to appreciate you for your remedies on earth clinic. I have been reading the various remedies for about a month and now. I am a big fan of earth clinic. I am a 34 years old lady with 2 sons. After my 2nd delivery I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and since then I am on eltroxin. I started with 100 mcg but now it has reduced to 75 mcg. Though the doctor says that now my thyroid is within normal limits but still I don't feel that I am the same normal person.

The biggest problem is Amenorrhea --that I don't get my periods without pills. My ultrasound reports are normal. But my hormones test shows that Oestradiol is low while FSH and LH is on higher side. According to gynae these are early menopause symptoms and she suggests progesterone oral pills which i don't want to take.
My weight is another issue which is not reducing even after exercises and dieting. My hairs are falling like anything.
Another problem is pigmentation on my face (cheeks, nose and forehead).
Also I get recurrent eczema infections on my knees, elbows and palms.

After reading a lot about ACV and EVCO from earth clinic I purchased organic ACV and virgin coconut oil. Whenever I drink Acv I get some throat pain. I tried to apply ACV on face but it always causes burning sensation and leaves my face with red patches; so i use 1:6 ratio of acv and water for face. Also I started taking selenium 200 mg , vitamin-E, vit. C and acidophilus.

Do you think that these supplement would help me in getting back to my normal life or should i make some more changes. Please suggest."

11/08/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Well I would try something simple first for amenorrhea. Dong quai is available and that should help with the menstruation somewhat, they have in capsule form. As to the weight problem and eczema that is low DHEA and it sometimes helps to apply H2O2 1% once or twice a day. The progesterone should be considered, used as creams apply in evening once a day. If burning sensation then I will mixed baking soda, say 1/4 teaspoon after meals twice a day at least to reduce some of the problem. And vitamin E is taken only 200 iu. The thyroid problem is actually histidine 250 mg to 500 mg as it helps T3 to T4 conversion, some lithium low dose 2 mg, and some nascent iodine perhaps once a day. The other common deficiency I have seen with these conditions is magnesium, preferably magnesium chloride or magnesium citrate, but I used maybe 100 mg twice a day would be suffice.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR LACK OF MENSTRUATION AND ISSUES AROUND THIS?
09/29/2011: Princess C from Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria writes: "Hello Ted,

I have read so much on earth clinic. Please help me, for 4 yrs I have not had a period. I am 36 yrs old female, almost 5 ft tall. In my 20's, I had heavy and painful periods and sometimes, I see them twice a month. But all of a sudden in 2007, it started skipping and stopped. I went to the hospice, they gave me drugs that made me bleed for 2 wks and 4 days. After that, still no periods. I came here and read about ACV and Molasses. I bought both and have been using for a month now but still no periods. I have terrible hot flashes and I notice my breasts are fuller and also red patched on my arms and above my breasts. I don't understand why the blood won't come out where it's supposed to come out from. Instead it's on other parts. People see it and ask me if my skin is bleeding.

Ted, please help as I don't want to go back to the hospice. I dont want to use HRT.

I await your reply, Thanks and God Bless."

NO PERIODS FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS, PLS HELP
09/16/2011: Anonymous from Anonymous writes: "Hi Ted, Greetings to you. I got ur name from earthclinic and i would like to share this problem because i dont know who else to go to. But first, thank you for helping so many others. You see, I live in Nigeria, Africa and am not overweight, just slight and petite. In my twenties i had regular but very heavy periods. Sometimes, it comes twice a month. But surprisingly, in 2007. i skipped a period and from then on its been downhill for my periods. Later in 2007, it stopped completely. In 2008, i went to the hospital and underwent many tests among which is Hormone test, the result said that i had hormonal imbalance. The doctors gave me pills/drugs, which i later found out that they where contraceptives somehow. I faithfully took the pills and after some weeks, the period came, but it was so heavy with BLACK CLOTS, I had never experienced such. This went on for 2 weeks and then some days. I stopped the drugs after that. Since then, i have been looking for an alternative to drugs.

Safe to say that for 3 and a half years now, I HAVE HAD NO PERIODS AND I AM WORRIED BECAUSE I AM NOT YET MARRIED. I keep having hot flashes and getting tired. Last week, i stumbled upon Earth clinic and decided to try some of the remedies. I bought Blackstrap Molasses and started immediately this monday. I have taken it for 5 days now and i havent gotten any result. On the contrary, the hot flashes increased and am very uncomfortable and disappointed. I am using 1 tablespoon Blackstrap Molasses twice daily in warm water. Pls can you help me with some other remedy?"

09/29/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "The usual problems are lack of vitamin E, natural vitamin E, vitamin b complex, B50, magnesium citrate, and lower progesterone hormones for lack of menstruation. The black clots may be a factor of not menstruating, so the simplest remedy is to take citrates, found in apples, lemon, lime for example. More specific citrate sources are sodium citrate and potassium citrate, 1/4 teaspoon each once a day 30 minutes after a meal. The citrate will unclot the menstruation periods. Ted"

9 YEAR OLD WITH PERIOD
09/29/2008: RS from Denver, CO writes: "Hello my question is for my friends 9yr old that just started her period. She is having heavy bleeding and horrible cramping. Also all the emotions that come with a period are thru the roof. What could she give her to help with those things? thank you so much for your help!!! love your site!"

10/11/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "To RS from Denver with the friend who has 9 year old who has started her period. MAJOR ALERT: FIRST OFF SOMEONE SHOULD TRY TO ASCERTAIN WHETHER SOMEONE IS MOLESTING THIS CHILD (but without putting words into the childs mouth because this is a serious charge). But being molested can also send a nine year old's nerves through the roof. It is possible that a 9 year old has started her periods, but she should also be showing some breast development beyond the budding stage if that is truly early development. If you are sure that it is just early development & starting of the menses, then consider that magnesium goes along way in helping in PMS and the cramping. One article available on line states that it is difficult to take enough magnesium orally without developing diarrhea which defeats the purpose, since it leaves the body instead of being retained and used for normal functioning. The author suggests transdermal magnesium instead of oral. For all who are not familiar with medical lingo, transdermal just means it can be absorbed through the skin. Also to those who are not familiar with chemical formulae, MgSO4 is just good old epsom salts which can be found at stores like the Dollar Tree in 2 lb. cartons for $l.00. Just pick up a carton or two, and put a cupful of epsom salts in your warm bath water & just lay back and enjoy while your skin does all the work, and keeps you from having to taste it. For those of you who aren't aware of how vital magnesium is to the body, it is also known to help regulate the heart rhythm, normalize blood pressure, decrease the incidence of migraine headaches, and decrease cramping. IV epsom salts is administered to eclamptic mothers to keep them from stroking out with their high blood pressure."

NON-STOP BLEEDING WITH LARGE CLOTS
08/24/2008: Michelle from Round Rock, Tx writes: "Hi I've been searching for any help with my problem! I had not had my period in a matter of months. I thought it was because I had gained some weight and I tend to miss or skip when I lose weight or gain. Well About 3 weeks ago I got what I thought was my normal period... this time it isn't. I haven't stopped bleeding, not even slowed down. I've gotten large clots as well. I'm kind of scared about it because I'm feeling weak and tired as well as sick and tired of it. I cant do anything. I would go to the GYNO but again my problem is that I have Agoraphobia which prevents me from leaving the house at this time. Can anyone please help me with anything that has worked for you? I have a sensitive stomach!! Please help! thank you..."

02/15/2010: Tandiwe from London, Uk replies: "Hi there. I am 40 years old and have suffered with extreme menstrual cramping and clotting since my periods started. I get prescription pain killers from my GP.

Evening Primrose Oil seems to have cleared up the clotting. I started taking it 5 months ago and the 1st period after this had alot less than normal, the 2nd period after that had none at all!!!! It was amazing. Unfortunately I then had a loop diathermy of my cervix which has meant that I stopped taking the OEP as it thins the blood and so the clotting returned and the periods were excruciating (almost hospitalised with pain).

In the past the only pain free months I have ever had were when I was a vegan.

Hope this helps, tandi"

06/26/2009: Liz from New York, NY replies: "I know that this is a very late reply, but hopefully it will help anyone else who has the same issue.

My periods have been very regular since i was in middle school. (i'm now in my twenties.) However, with extreme stress or big changes in my life, I end up missing a period or having an extremely heavy period, with blood flowing so fast that the body can't produce enough blood thinners, so it clots up. ( I should note that i have never used birth control, and never plan to use it.)

My solution for heavy period: Homemade Cinnamon Tea.

Sometimes it slows the bleeding down considerably (as in change tampon/diva cup only every 4 hours rather than every hour) and sometimes it stops it completely for hours. I drink it often throughout the day (when symptoms are present), and i've been trying to create the best recipe, experimenting with a number of other ingredients. But i always start with about 1.5 tbsp of cinnamon, and 8 oz of boiling water. stir it well and let it steep for about six minutes. The cinnamon actually gets a little viscous after soaking in the hot water, but while the texture is a bit odd, there's no harm in consuming it. I've also used some combination of the following in my cinnamon tea: Coriander, Ginger, Blackstrap Molasses, Cayenne, Nutmeg, Honey.

Good luck!"

08/29/2008: Anon from NY, NY replies: "I had the same problem...very heavy bleeding, a lot of clotting. Mine started at about age 44 and ended at 46. Periods starting anywhere from 2 weeks to 2-3 months. Lasting days to weeks. After about 2 years, all stopped. No more periods. Mine was menopausal. Hope this helps."

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR FOR MENSTRUAL ISSUES
07/01/2008: Staci from Nacogdoches, TX writes: "does this rememdy taking apple cider vinegar really work cause i have had my menstrual period for 4 months straight now, the doctor had put me on some pills and have tried birth control none of that helped and i dont know what to take anymore. can you please help me. staci"

03/08/2011: Health4pam from Springdale, Arkansas, Us replies: "I am a 52 yr. old woman who has been diagnosed with fibroids, which are non cancerous tumors of the uterus. I had been having terrible bleeding and clots which left me anemic. My hemoglobin was 4. 9 and should be somewhere between 12. 0 and 15. 0. I finally ended up on Prometrium and have been on it for going on 3 months. There are minimal side effects for myself. It stopped my bleeding, although recently I've been having "breakthrough bleeding". I've been taking Braggs Apple Cider vinegar from time to time due to the fact that if you google it, you will find it is good for many physical problems. For 2 days, I was having alot of bleeding and clots. Advil wasn't helping and so I remembered Apple Cider vinegar (Bragg's is so important because it is left in it's natural state). I took 2 tablespoons at bed. In about 15 min. I could feel the cramps subsiding. I fell asleep and woke up about 2 hours later with mild cramping and got up and took 2 more tablespoons. My cramps are at this point not only almost gone, but I noticed my bleeding is alot better! Just thought I'd share my testimony."

MENSTRUAL CYCLE GONE HAYWIRE
06/14/2008: Vivian from LA, CA writes: "I'm still not sure why, but my menstrual cycle went haywire back in March. Instead of showing up on the 25th day and lasting 3-5 days, as it has for years, it arrived on the 38th day and lasted for about 10 days. This month, my period arrived on the 39th day and it's been going on for about 12 days now. There isn't really any cramping, but the bleeding is heavy. I've also noticed that my skin has been breaking out much more than usual for the last six months. My moods have also been not so good--I have zero patience and have been incredibly absent-minded. These heavy periods leave me feeling so fatigued, I have no energy left over for other people! I have begun taking 2 tablespoons of black strap molasses every morning. As a vegetarian, I fear that all this bleeding could leave me anemic. I do notice that the BSM gives me more energy. I will continue to take the BSM everyday and see what happens. I hope the bleeding stops soon. I've really had enough!"

IDIOPATHIC APLASTIC ANEMIA
03/12/2008: SG writes: "Hi Ted, I was waiting to to write to you ! I am a 34 yr old female from India. 10 yrs back i had IDIPOATHIC APALASTIC ANEMIA, and after a battery of tests the Doctor was never able to find out what was it that was causing it. My platelets would go dangerously low as 27000 and my HBG will be 5 or SO i would start bleeding heavily during my periods i would have clots of fist size . it would be like i would come out of the hospital the doc would put me on danazol (steriods) 3 times a day for 6 months and slowly my hbg would increase and then i would want to go out and would catch some bug ,get a fever or a cough because of low platelets it will not work and i had to be rushed to the hospital the doc would transfuse blood and platelets and i would be in the er for couple of days back to home to isolation and life of gloom would be on danazol again.which made me blow up and have lot of hair on my legs and thick voice . but my parents were not worried about it because for them it kept me alive.My dad did some research ad started a course of SPIRULINA I STARTED TAKING 1000 MG every day and within 2 months my hbg was 8 whereas it took danazol 6mths 3 times a day to bring me back to 8 , i was feeling very happy healthy and glowing i lost all the unnecessary weight .After an yr i came to the usa , my periods were normal i had a healthy relationship with my husband it was like nothing ever happened i never got a cold or any viral infection maybe because i was in a comparatively clean and pollution free environment .6 yrs back i got pregnant by accident and wanted to keep the baby. i was very lax and did not take any extra supplement or nutrition. my hbg fell to 7 and the fetous died inside i lost the baby i was miserable after that. Then again after 3YRS in 2006 i became pregnant by plan had gone to a hemotologist was under his care for couple of months and then after he said everything is alright with me i went ahead and got pregnant.

I just want to have a normal healthy child just one i wont ask for more. i have been reading your suggestion on earthclinic and have a hope and belief that god has shown u to help me .pls suggest me what to do to have a healthy pregnancy"

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "
Dear S.G.

Idiopathic aplastic anemia is simply a bone marrow damage. When a bone marrow is damaged, the body cannot produce the red blood cells and white blood cells.

'

The common damage of bone marrow can come from many sources, that I am aware of (internet these days i can't get anything except from my own personal experience) is the arsenic (high in Bangladesh and parts of India), paracetamol (Tylenol), x ray radiation, free radical heavy metals, vegetable oil use, metabolic acidosis (from aspartame hidden in many candies and pharma drugs, not labeled), steroids, virus, and my favorite the fungus or mycoplasma from vaccinations, eating moldy plants, and pharma toxic water, especially in U.S. All of them have interesting information as to the extent of the bone marrow damage and I haven't quite covered everything here, such as vitamin D3 levels (Indian woman are low in this and lowered immunity from dark skin, thick clothing and lack of sun if living in the states), chlorinated water, fluoridated water, and pharma drug laden in most of the water supplies made worse by a quantum jump with the chlorine AND the fluoride. A neurodegenerative disorder can also initiate stem cell damage by just causing the body to go into lactic acidosis from common contaminants especially aspartame which breaks down to formaldehyde, the exposure to hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, shellac, which damages the neural cell damage) A neural cell damage if it is damage can prevent the body to repair itself especially the bone marrow. Radiation poisoning is obvious, and CAT scans, X rays, immunization, chemotherapy and the list goes on and on.

The common approach I do use with good success is always the alkalizing, borax remedy (its anti fungal and anti mycoplasma which is a common cause of autoimmunity that damages bone marrow), ridding of free heavy metals (from spirulina and chlorella which creates free radicals and damages the bone marrow), vitamin B complex, zinc, vitamin E, vitamin C, olive leaf extract and avoiding pain killers such as paracetamol, which damages the liver and creates free radical and causes the body to accumulate toxins. Aspirin for me is a lot safer, but the method I used is very different, in that I did it the old fashion way: I dissolve completely in a glass of water when taking them. People would assume it cause ulcers, but the fact that it's so diluted prevents that and the acetylsalicylates (aspirin!) kills the fungus which causes autoimmunity. It used to be the old days where autoimmunity was rare, until people simply stopped using aspirin and tried the paracetamol, which damages the liver and you need N Acetyl Cysteine to stop that. A lot of effervescent these days DO NOT LABEL the addition of aspartame which damages the body further and I have to waste a lot of time calling up factories to check whether they in fact added the aspartame. The chemical used to be a insecticide when they discovered that it tasted sweet and there is a lot of massive bogus research before it was pardoned by President Ronald Reagan on crimes commited by Searle, spearheaded by the then Donald Rumsfeld. So it has a sordid past, but I used them as a insectide killer anyway for my gardening, mixed with pyrethrins.

The major components of this remedy to reducing autoimmunity is to first avoid the sweets and fruits, and fried foods using vegetable oils. Bread and flour causes problem from the toxic alloxan, bromine processing and propionic acid, live yeast (a fungus!) and other modern manufacturing insults which damages our health. The replacement of the grains should be rice instead of white flour and bread and certain Indians makes heavy use of white flour and bread in some of the diets.

The most important remedy I think is always to kill the fungus or the mycoplasma first, the viruses is always secondary causes for me and usually are not much of the problem. The remedy therefore requires the following anti-autoimmunity remedies that I WILL USE (yes I do it frequently!):

1. 1/8 or 1/4 teaspoon of borax in one liter of drinking water. A xylitol or d-mannose of 1/8 or 1/4 teaspoon can be added to further the antifungal properties. A hydrogen peroxide food grade of 30 drops of 3% in the one liter of water also helped as I have found out later.

2. 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water taken twice or three times a day.

3. Spirulina and chlorella supplements at least 250 mg x 2 or 3 times a day taken only 4 or 5 days out of a week.

4. Magnesium citrate or magnesium gluconate 250-500 mg taken once a day is very helpful and zinc gluocnate 50 once or twice a week is very helpful too.

There might be other mineral status being low causing autoimmunity, especially Iodine, so I might used sodium iodide or lugol's solution adding 5 drops of iodine in a glass of water usually taken in the morning hours or perhaps just take kelp supplements but this is usually taken once every other day, or once every two days. The body simply needs alternate days to further detoxify from the blood and hence the "rest days".

The supplements that are important especially the vegetarian diets is always the B12, but I try to use them in the form of vitamin B complex, such as B50 or B100 form and take that twice a week. Certain forms of vitamin Bs are synergistic with the magnesium.

Sodium nitrite produced by the glial cells is what gives rise to the number of stem cells from nitric oxide, but interestingly metabolic acidosis, lack of bicarbonates and other acid forming foods, mostly from the white flour and table salt is acid forming, and they destroy the sodium nitrite into nitric oxide before it reaches the destined bone marrow.

Interestingly, I have noted that people with blood fungus, past mouldy conditions enviroment initates a long term low blood counts, and white blood cells especially if exposed to hydrocarbons, kerosine, benzene, aspartame, and methanol. Therefore reduction of fungus through borax is what I have found to be most helpful, ESPECIALLY if hydrogen peroxide drops is added and some d-mannose or xylitol is used. I tend to use a lot more d-mannose than xylitol and both polyol sugars prevent fungus, virus, and other pathogen from sticking to healthy cells and forming colonies. If they were even detached from healthy cells they usually die immediately and it is this reason why I find them so fascinating. The other thing is people with a vegetarian diets will have low amino acids. Amino acids in alkalinity, the ammonium molecules has strong antifungal components, and this is why Asians have higher incidence in autoimmunity from aplastic anemia or low red blood cells. Red blood cells may be further increase if vitamin C sodium ascorbate 1000 mg is taken and avoiding the tap water or treat all drinking water with hydrogen peroxide or ozonation, since those were found to neutralize a lot of pharma drugs found in many tap water systems today, and this unfavorable effect is greatly enchanced in the presence of chlorine and fluorine.

The borax/mannose/xylitol/selenium/baking soda's effect will take about two weeks to noticed improvement. If the the alkalizing needs to improve the biological terrrain of the bone marrow, another alkalizing remedy I will add in addition to the baking soda, which as the sodium carbonate (washing soda), which is a precursor of sodium bicarbonate. This is done to reduce carbon dioxide pressure in low CO2 regions necessary to have the antifungal properties. Therefore another remedy, with baking soda alkalizing remedy with sodium carbonate is as follows which is more effective is (scientist referred this as carbicarb - which stands for sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate together):

1/2 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and 1/2 teaspoon of sodium carbonate in 1/2 glass of water taken twice day.

It's impossible for me to cover all the possible causes, but further look is possible by doing some hair mineral analysis to find out what toxic metals or deficiency is causing the problem. Sometimes arsenic can lead to bone marrow damage that is found in near Bangladesh region of India for example, can lead to some anemia as arsenic is toxic to the cells too, but the so is fungus if it gets deep into the bone marrows needs a long term borax too, and higher protein or amino acid diets, either from the whey protein or the soy protein if a person is vegetarian, since most vegetarian diets are low in amino acids, it is always the amino acids that burns the fats, lowers the blood sugar and hence ONLY a whey protein or a soy protein is taken in the morning as per label instructions of your favorite product, without the aspartame or sodium benzoate (a source of benzene) of course! Vaccinations, steroids and tylenol can further complicate the problems. A good steroids I would use is peppermint oil, vitamin D3 10,000 i.u. taken ocassionally, and vitamin K2 (usually from soy Natto).

I hope this helps, since the background information on specific dietary and past sickness and contaminants is still lacking, even if your emails were a long one, and I am happy that you did do it."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "
One minor point is that many immunity issues are quite often related to neurodegenerative disorders (initiated by benzene, aspartame, toluene, etc.) and therefore once detoxifcation removing heavy metals, and other things mentioned, the addition of lecithin and smart drugs to restore the neurodegenerative issues causing autoimmunity such as aplastic anemia, will help. The ones I used are sold locally is the 800 mg. Nootropil (usually L-pyroglutamate in natural forms) and 2 mg of hydergine taken together, but this is taken only 4 or 5 days out of a week with a 2 or 3 day rest period to allow the body to remove toxins slowly. l-Glutathione also helps too, especially in cases of autoimmunity and protective against this condition too. The improvements of autoimmunity of using this can be quite quick and in leaps and bound, but as always a detoxification and proper alkalization must be needed first to keep improvement steady without going back to square one."

02/12/2008: cynthia s. from racho cucamoga, ca writes: "Hi, my name is C. from ca. I was interested in knowing if there are other women out there going through the same thing I am. I have long menstrual cycles. I never know when I'm going to start anymore, i have know idea when I'm going to end. I'm edgy, short tempered,sad,headachs and always tired. none of my Dr's. seem to know whats wrong. I've had ultrasounds done and blood test. nothing, my skin has dry and red patches on it everywhere. I think my skin and ovaries maybe hand in hand. Not sure? If anyone has something similar or could help me please don't hesitate. Thank You."

01/13/2011: Susy from Woodland Hills, Ca/los Angeles/usa replies: "Hi C & Ted. I have a 16 year old who has long menstrual cycles. We dont know when they will begin or end. Some times they last 3 weeks stop for 1 & come right back. Her doctor put her on birth control pills. Theyve stopped the heavy bleeding but she is still spotting. My worries are long term use. Ted, what can I give her instead of prescribed medicines? All the information I've found online points to her using birth control pills. At this point she is not sexually active so I dont see a need for her to have to take birth control aside the long term damage. Someone please help."

ISSUES AFTER C-SECTION AND TUBAL LIGATION
09/06/2007: H from Lexington Park, Maryland writes: "HI ted and first I want to thank you for your time. My issue is i had three c-section and a tubal ligation. Since then my menstrual cycle is out of control, I tried a lot of remedies that are recommended on the site but not enough. I even went to see the doctor to make sure I don't any fibroid that causing it. My question is what should i try tohelp ease the flow and the menstrual cramp. I regret tubal ligation and I think that is what is causing it to be heavier. any suggestion appreciated."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Whenever a fallopian tubes are severed, the menstrual cramps and blood gets clogged up and while vitamin E 2000 i.u. and aspirin 500 mg may reduce clotting to reduce some of the mensual cramps, as well as 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid, I have found that keeping the blood bright red by oxygenation therapies through adding 6 drops of 3% H2O2 in one glass of water taken three times a day to at least prevent the blood from infecting itself which can lead to septicemia in some case. One other that can protect against severe cramps that I might consider is the 500 mg of magnesium in the form of citrates or gluconates, taken twice a day for more severe menstrual cramps.

The blockages of fallopian even a slight one and especially if the blood clots readily, can lead to a lot of problem. Hence slowing down the clots, providing magnesium to reduce muscle pain and prevent toxic shock syndrome, and alkalizing and reducing blood calcium to normal status using the baking soda and citric acid should at least by some time.

The only available option that is seen is a reversal tubal ligation, which would require microsurgery and this is an expensive option. I think if nothing works, I would talk with the doctors."

Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Menstrual problem are not due to iron deficiency. I have seen this problem many times and taking iron supplements do not help.

In practice it is taking vitamin B complex or at least a softgel multiple vitamins with the b complex and also magnesium supplements which helps. The magnesium I like is actually the magnesium chloride, however, other magnesium are also suitable, such as magnesium chelate, magnesium citrate or magnesium gluconate I would likely see people take about 250 mg per day 5 days out of a week and the b complex (usually 100 mg each for B1, B2, B3, B6, except for B12 at 100 mcg for example) are taken perhaps at about every other day for a a month or so. Vitamin E also helps and ideally the menstrual flow often improves. The vitamin E is about 200-400 mg usually is about twice a week.

Taking some lime and baking soda, such as 1 whole lime and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of once in the morning and once before sleeping often helps reduce the calcium buildup which is the problem which menstrual cycles.

Most problems of overweight is due to certain dietary habits which causes it. I would likely eat more fishes, everyday and at least avoid eating anything after 5 p.m. for food. However technically it is more like 4.30 p.m. at least that's how the body's liver cycle works since whatever that was eaten after a certain time the food gets stored as fat. While it is true that once the fats is there, it is difficult to burn. In general I would likely to concentrate on three major food groups to reduce weight, such as protein (fishes), complex carbohydrates (rice), and vegetables. Protein rich foods cause the body to burn more fat. The other important cause is sometimes lack of iodine, for one thing, certain diets in certain parts of India are rich casava diet, which displaces iodine causing hypothyroid condition, and certain parts of India, even sea food are not even eaten at all, as well as the excess use of vegetable oils, and oily foods, white flour, cheese, milk and processed food can also lead to obesity.

The reason is that certain high glycemic diets which are simple carbohydrates, such as fructose, glucose, and sucrose, usually from fruit juices can also lead to that problem also.

Alkalizing also reduces constipation and reducing the amount of time the food spends in the stomach can also reduce weight much like stomach stapling. The reason why that is so is whenever the body stores too much waste in the intestines, it also has to store excess liquids to neutralize the acidity buildup along the intestines as food ferment along the intestines, but at the same time, the body also have difficult ridding of the toxicity and leads to congested liver and sometimes fats becomes a problem that it cannot get rid of.

The key to exercise is actually the timing. Sumo wrestlers gain weight because as a rule to increase weight they had to eat, then sleep. No exercises were allowed after eating. In the U.S. decades ago when children were not obese, the schools give the children about an hour of exercise after eating. The key is that whenever food is eaten too much, the first thing a liver would do in face of eating too quickly is to store the sugar to fats as well as some other food is converted the same. To prevent that simple walking for an hour after eating should help.

In my experience most weight loss were due to just avoiding dinner and simply exercise after eating, as well as alkalizing the body to reduce excess waste in the stomach so detoxing sometimes help. Adding the portion of protein, high fiber or high volume foods with low calories (such as celery), and complex carbs without white flour and bread can help too.

Please see obesity postings at earthclinic where more details on that is discussed."
