You don't have to live with the side effects of having a period.
Hysteria
Irregular periods are not normal.
Bleeding long after your period ends is not normal.
Menstrual migraines are not normal.
Debilitating periods are not normal.
Long considered "Women's oldest hygenic problem".
6. What is Menstruation?
Menstruation (men-STRAY-shuhn) is a woman's
monthly bleeding. A woman’s body sheds the lining of
her uterus (womb). Menstrual blood flows from the
uterus through the small opening in the cervix and
passes out of the body through the vagina. Most
menstrual periods last from 3 to 5 days, peaking at day
three, and ending no later than day 6.
7. What is the Menstrual
When periods (menstruations) come once every 28 days,
Cycle?
ending by day six, asymptomatic and without incident, this is
called the menstrual cycle. Having regular, asymptomatic
menstrual cycles is a sign the body is functioning at its optimal
level.
A cycle is counted from the first day of 1 period to the first day
of the next period. The menstrual cycle is 28 days long, and
cycle with the phases of the moon.
The cycle of hormone levels during the month control the
menstrual cycle and symptoms throughout the month.

11. The Trouble With The Curse
• Periods are supposed to be incident free, without
pain, without headaches or migraines, without lower back
pain, without cramps or blood clots, without bitchiness and
moodiness, and without abnormal bleeding.
• Conventional, allopathic medicine isn’t interested in the
cause of the problem as they are to keep the patient with the
disease but manage the symptoms of the disease with
surgeries and medications.

13. The number one reason women
have irregular periods is because
of estrogen deficiency.
14. Menstrual Psycosis
This is a comparatively uncommon form of severe mental illness,
with the following characteristics:
• Abrupt onset against a background of normality.
• Brief duration, with full recovery.
• Psychotic features such as confusion, mutism and stupor,
delusions, hallucinations or a manic syndrome. Premenstrual
tension, premenstrual syndrome, premenstrual (late luteal phase)
depression or dysphoric disorder or menstrual mood disorder do
not qualify.
• A circa-mensual (approximately monthly) periodicity, in rhythm
with the menstrual cycle.

pharmaceutical grade supplements and
access codes.
36. Estro Harmony™ is for women who want relief from menopausal hot
flashes and support for breast health. Research suggests the ingredients in
this formula can also benefit cardiovascular status and bone remodeling.
This all-natural formula delivers a proprietary blend of plant lignan extract
and 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN) from hops, at clinically relevant levels, to
support the body’s natural process of healthy aromatase activity and exert
phytoestrogen (e.g., enterolactone) and antioxidant activity.
37. MedCaps Menopause™ is a unique combination blend that is
formulated to provide nutritional targeted nourishment for women
during menopause. It features specially selected herbs and nutrients
that support the adrenal glands’ adaptive response as well as
support circulation, relaxation and overall well-being. Featuring a
non soy derived source of isoflavones, MedCaps Menopause may
also beneficially influence estrogen receptor function.
38. PMS Soothe™ is a comprehensive blend of Native
American and Chinese herbs traditionally used to provide
balance and support for a healthy menstrual cycle.
39. Hormone Protect™ is an ideal combination of DIM
(diindolylmethane) and SGS™ (glucoraphanin) that helps protect
estrogen-sensitive tissues by promoting healthy estrogen
metabolism and supporting detoxification and neutralization of
harmful estrogen metabolites and xenoestrogens.
40. ProbioMax DDS™ is a chewable probiotic designed to activate in the
oral cavity for support of healthy teeth and gums.
As you chew it releases the safe and powerful DDS-18™ strain of
Streptococcus salivarius—a beneficial bacterium that normally occurs
in a healthy oral cavity. S salivarius DDS-18 then attaches to cells in
the oral cavity and colonizes, positively affecting the bacterial
population therein and naturally defending the teeth and gums.
