This is just a note to say how I managed
to concieve after thinking I couldn't
after being diagnosed with Endometriosis.
Firstly I stopped using the pill about
seven years ago.
Next I stopped using chemically laden
sanitary products like tampons.
- and noticed that almost from the second
or third period, my periods had started to
become lighter and healthier. The blood is
supposed to come out of the body, not be
wedged up there in a ball of wadding that
is shedding fibers inside you. Disgusting!
For the last four years my husband and I
have been trying to conceive. nothing was
happening.
I became vegetarian. I still eat eggs and
cheese (and I would eat fish if I liked
the taste), but meat, chicken and milk are
out. Again I noticed that after a year of
being vegetarian, my periods regulated
themselves and were now like clockwork.
Apart from the fact that farm animals are
treated with brutality, the idea that
their terror pushes all these adrenalin
chemicals into the meat and that we eat it
is scary. I feel less stressed as a
vegetarian, and I look much better. (Lost
weight too) The milk industry are very
happy to push milk at you saying how
healthy it is. Again, do some research.
You will find that milk is not good for
us. It is contaminated with cow's blood
and pus and frequently contaminated with
pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics. It
can cause osteoporosis and it certainly
causes weight gain and allergies. Organic
yogurts and kefir can be very good for you
however.
I stopped taking medication for period
pain. I know this may seem scary, but bare
in mind I had extremely painful
endometriosis. That is like period pain
times 100. The more painkillers I took,
the more I would need.
Again, the pain got slightly less bad with
each month and as I learned to breath with
it. (I used to have to take six giant
prescription painkillers every day) Now
instead of five days of agony, it is half
an hour of pain at the beginning of the
period. If you are open minded, smoke a
couple of puffs of marijuana instead of
taking painkillers. This is not a moral
issue. Women have been using this herb
from mother nature for millennia to help
period pain with no side effects compared
to the dangers of taking over the counter
drugs. Having said that, my pain got
better even without using anything apart
from a hot water bottle and aromatherapy
rubs. (marjoram and clary sage in organic
sunflower oil on my belly)
Cut down drinking alcohol, gave up
smoking. No need to say why this is
important.
Started taking a good womens multivitamin.
Strong nails, shiny hair are the benefit
of this!
For yeast infections take probiotics, and
mix a small pot of natural probiotic
yogurt with 1 drop each of lavender and
tea tree oil and then use a pippette to
push into the vagina. Drink fresh
cranberry juice (not the sugar water kind)
So much better (and cheaper) for you than
Canesten! (research independant Canesten
side effects... very frightening)
So all these changes had a very positive
effect, as my cycles became like
clockwork, and the toxic meat products
left my system, I had started to regain
health.
It takes time to make the changes, they
don't happen overnight. It's got something
to do with adjusting your frame of mind.
It's easier to find washable sanitary
towels comforting and wonderful if you
havent been brainwashed into finding your
period disgusting. It's easier to cut out
meat if you research the welfare of farmed
animals and do it for compassion. It's
easier to suck up the pain of the first
few unmedicated periods if you trust your
body will take over and start creating
it's own painkillers. In this society
women are trained to be so cut off and
ignorant and ashamed about our bodies and
the way we can help ourselves. Doing the
things that I did above may not make you
fertile, but if you open your mind and try
even some of it, you might be surprised.
So far my pregnancy is going very well,
with no morning sickness. I have never
felt so healthy in my life.
