The Menstrual Myth
is menstruation necessary to health and fertility?

The human race is at the threshold of regaining the sense of balance and harmony that has been our destiny. Love is the key to the universe and is the threshold of understanding we must achieve to put our lives and planet back into balance. The way in which we define and act out love is changing. Sex as intimate emotional expression and as an agent of the creative force within is being reevaluated. Reproduction, sexual energy and the cycles of nature that relate to the primal life energy, give rise to new human potentials.
Menstruation is one of the most misunderstood cycles that exist today. It has not always existed. It does not exist in all modern societies. It has a definite negative effect on all women and is not necessary for ovulation, i.e. fertility. My research shows a significant decrease in the presence of the menstrual cycle in women following diets of live foods and "natural" lifestyles. I feel that a "natural foods" diet (live foods) is a part of our heritage, and that as we seek to regain the harmony and balance of our predecessors, we must put into our bodies the raw materials as given by God.
Likewise, ovulation is a physiological process influenced by zodiacal and dietary factors; it is not a monthly biological necessity for women. We have found that by altering the influence of different factors, one can change the frequency of ovulation. (Ovulation seems to slow down, until it follows the cycle of the sun instead of the cycle of the moon.) Even in normal circumstances, ovulation does not occur on a monthly basis. It is common knowledge that many healthy women have months of menstruation without ovulation. This could not happen if there was a direct relationship without ovulation. This could not happen if there was a direct relationship between menstruation and ovulation. In addition, Menarche, which is the first phase of the menstruation cycle, generally occurs without ovulation for the initial two-year period of menstruation. The theory linking regular menstruation with the female"s ability to conceive is further broken by the cases of women who have become pregnant while lactating. The concept that conception is not dependent on menstruation is a blow to current thinking and is a profound blessings to the gentle souls seeking to reach their divine potential.
MS Magazine has expressed concern as to the necessity and value of menstruation to women. The magazine published a report stating, "The fact remains that 2 out of 3 women would do away with menstruation, if it could be done safely." Many women consider menstruation a biological liability and believe that men are in a superior position because they have a more advantageous biological makeup. The desire to be free from menstruation and presumably menopause, might be interpreted as a progressive step toward liberation and an instance in which women are exercising control over their bodies."
Further research on this topic by Dr. Raymond Bernard ("Physiological Enigma of Women") states that, "Throughout nature, the biological superiority of the female is evident. Only the civilized female seems to be inferior physically to the male. This condition is brought about largely by the debilitating effect of the menstrual hemorrhage."
Because of more natural living, love protein diet and seasonal sexual practices, menses is less of a problem to the uncivilized woman.
Among many of the primitive races and in technologically undeveloped countries, females work side by side with males; many employers have shown preference for female laborers because of their superior endurance and strength.
In the United States, in spite of the menstrual and social handicap, female longevity exceeds that of the male; a larger proportion of females reach the century mark. Hardening of blood vessels and high blood pressure are more common among men than women. There are fewer miscarriages and stillbirths of females than males; the female brain has a finer texture and more complex organization, and, relative to body weight, is 25 precent heavier than that of the male, her thyroid gland, which has three lobes, is larger than the two-lobed one of the male.
During childhood, female physical size and performance in school exceeds that of the male. This phenomenon is well known to school teachers. With the onset of menstruation and the great loss of essential body fluids, the rapid development of the female is bought to a premature slowdown.
Loss of calcium, which is so essential to develop bone and muscle and to stabilize the nervous system, results in slowdown in skeleton growth. Loss of hormones, which are more concentrated in menstruational discharge than in the bloodstream, speeds the aging process. Many female are anemic because the monthly hemorrhage causes a reduction of hemoglobin, the oxygen carrier. This has a significant effect on further brain development and nerve activity. Were it not for menstrual losses, the initial superiority of the female would persist in all later stages of physical development.
Historically, menstruation appeared in females after the family unit had migrated to a cooler climate and/or adopted an unnatural diet and increased sexual activity. The development of the family in an unnatural environment involved many hardships. Males very readily used the services of females to do the most unpleasant, monotonous, physically strenuous tasks, while they engaged in the arts of hunting, philosophy, war and religion. The female was the first slave of the male. Often a man kept a large flock of slave wives to perform all necessary chores.
Organized religion, with its male-dominated priesthood, has successfully convinced woman that she must have committed some "basic sin" (Gen. 3:6) for which she must enslave herself to male: "Thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over Thee" (Gen. 3:16). Centuries of inculcation of this dogma have helped to make female subservient to the dictates of the male.
Through false medical and religious teachings on menstruation, the male-dominated society has managed to keep woman in a slave-like position by insuring her persistent weakness through biological ignorance. Men have claimed mental superiority because of a seeming deficiency in production of great works in philosophy, art or science by the female.
There were times in history when women were not suppressed, and had equal cultural education and economic opportunity to achieve their potential. There are instances recorded where pagan women achieved high excellence and superiority over males.
They Phythagorean school produced at least fifteen historically outstanding women. The last was Hypatia of Alexandria, who was murdered by a band of fanatic monks led by the jealous Cyrus, archbishop of Alexandria. The great Greek philosopher, Socrates, had studied under Aspasia, the young female Delphic Oracle. Ammian and Diodorus comment that the women of ancient Gaul were stronger than the males and fought the Romans. Strobo mentions that Gallic women were taller than men. Skeletal remains proved them to be seven feet tall.
Havelock Ellis remarks that all outstanding women in history were relatively free from menstruation. They either menstruated slightly or not at all as was the case with Joan of Arc, proven by medical records during her trial for witchcraft. The well-known ninety-year-old Frenchwoman, Ninon de L"Enclos, who continued to look like a young woman to the end, freed herself from menstruation through a special diet. Wallace states: "Some females of robust constitution and right fiber are called viragoes. These, from constitution, menstruate sparingly or not at all."
In our culture many pathological states are considered natural just because they are normal and prevalent. For example, it is "natural" to die from heart attack: doctors predict that by the 2000 one of the most "natural" causes of death will be cancer. Actuarial reports state that to be at least 20 percent underweight increases health and longevity: however, doctors and friends consider slim vegetarians sickly because they are not "normal" in weight.
During menses it is considered normal to bleed, suffer nausea, and edema and to have headaches, cramps and back pain and depression. These problems, however, seem to exist only in sickly females and domesticated or civilized animals and are non-existent in healthy primitives or wild animals.
A physiological evaluation of menstruation is helpful in understanding how it occurs, how it can be alleviated and how fertility is not affected by lack of menstruation. The menstrual flow actually begins at the end of the menstrual cycle. This cycle develops over a period of approximately 28 days and it represents the body"s preparation for conception. We mistakenly name this fertility cycle menstrual, but menstruation is really only the visible blood flow.
In this fertility cycle, estrogen and the growing follicle cause the endometrium (the mucous membrane lining the inner surface of the uterus) to thicken and form glands and arterioles for transporting nutrients. This endometrium continues to grow until release of the egg, which coincides with a secretion of progesterone. At this time, the endometrium lining stops expanding and begins to secrete blood and nutrients. The growing follicle, which ruptures when the egg is released, produces estrogen and progesterone in smaller amounts: consequently, this hormone level decreases steadily. If the egg is not fertilized, all or almost all hormone production stops. This sudden shutoff of these hormones produces a spastic reaction in the blood vessels of the endometrium. Up to 70 percent of the damaged endometrium tissue is expelled along with some blood, mucous and toxins in a period of 2-15 days. The remaining 30 percent is reabsorbed. The healthier the woman, the smaller the amount of blood loss.
In our studies, two factors seem to be of importance in development of menstruation: first, overall level of obstructive extraneous mucus generated by the diet leading to menstrual necrosis: and second, the level of unheated whole nutritional factors, especially bioflavonoids, which build strong non-fragile capillaries as well as strong bodies. We will now consider the factors individually and how they apply to different diets.
In a state of health, or "live-food" nutrition, the arterioles which exist as a part of the endometrium lining are not spiral and congested. This is one of the key factors in understanding why these arterioles are not damaged when the hormone cessation initiates contractions and spasms in the blood vessels of the endometrium. The endometrium lining continues to be alive, facilitating almost total reabsorption. As a result, there is small or no discharge of tissue, blood, etc. However, if the arterioles are clogged, the body"s ability to reabsorb them is going to be hindered. The needed enzymes shut off from their source of blood and oxygen will not be able to reach the extremities, thereby causing cells to die.
The second factor we are considering is the connection between nutrition and the overall fragility of capillaries, specially as it relates to menstruation. The need for bioflavonoids in the blood-clotting process is becoming common knowledge. Documentation exists relating the need for chlorophyll, Vitamin C and Vitamin P to maintain proper capillary strength. This finding sets the stage for using Vitamin P and C for menstrual relief, which has in fact occurred, with excellent results.
The effect of fluctuations in hormone levels on capillary strength has been tested in relation to total capillary strength throughout the body. The test showed a drop in capillary strength in the arms of "healthy" women within two days of ovulation. Continuing the same experiment, estrogen was fed to these women intravenously and capillary strength increased to normal within 2-24 hours. Furthermore, it was shown that administration of Vitamin C and P reduced the menstrual flow by 67 precent, indicating the improvement of capillary strength. The same study makes a connection between a woman inadvertently consuming a large amount of ripe tomatoes (high source of Vitamin C and P) and her suddenly experiencing a drastic lessening of menstrual discharge. As a follow up, I contacted Dr. A. Clemetson, a researcher at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, and received this reply:

Dear Mr. Kulvinskas:
It was interesting to speak to you on the telephone today and to know that you have discovered that many women develop a complete absence of menstrual periods while they are taking vegetarian reducing diets.
As I told you on the phone, I know that this is true and it is a most fascinating situation, as they do appear to be in excellent health. Some of them develop orange colored palms to their hands, perhaps due to carotene, but I know of no evidence that carotene is the cause of the cessation of menses.
I suspect that this effect may be different from the effect I was observing in Canada in women I was treating for heavy periods with vitamin C and bioflavonoids, as they continue to have periods but very light ones, as described in my articles entitled "Capillary Strength and the Menstrual Cycle" and also in "Capillary Strength of Women with Menorrhagia" which I enclose.
I spent five years at the University of California studying bioflavonoids in an attempt to elucidate this problem, and this work is summarized in the article entitled "Plant Polyphenols as Antioxidants for Ascorbic Acid" and also in the French and Italian articles which I enclose.
I do believe that I solved the bioflavonoids problem, as many flavonoids are antioxidants for ascorbic acid, but much more work is needed to study other effects of diet on the menstrual periods, as this is probably a very complex problem. Plant estrogens and progesterones may well affect the menstrual periods and many other substances could also be involved. The effect you describe, namely secondary amenorrhea complete cessation of menses, has been seen in many reducing vegetarian diets and it will require a great deal of research work to sort it out.
Thank you for your interests in my work.
Yours sincerely,
C. Alan B. Clemetson. MD.

Dr. Clemetson has developed a theory of menstruation based on 10 years of research. His position is detailed in a paper published by the "Annals of the New York Academy of Science" (1962).

We know that several of the bioflavonoids are estrogenic, and evidence has been produced to show that the estrogens are in a sense bioflavonoidal in that they increase the strength of fragile capillaries. It seems likely that the integrity of the capillaries is normally maintained by ascorbic acid and the bioflavonoids. Then, when the estrogen level falls or the estrogens are metabolized, the capillaries are left without support and become fragile until such time as the bioflavonoids can return to take their place in the capillary wall. The work of Markee (1940) showed that regression of the endometrium commenced five days before menstruation.
If estrogens temporarily replace the bioflavonoids in the capillary wall and continue to preserve the integrity of the capillaries until they are withdrawn, this would explain why a drop in the estrogen level caused bleeding but a persistently low or a persistently high estrogen level does not cause bleeding.

During the stage of endometrium construction, estrogen is utilized as a replacement for bioflavonoids. As the estrogen secretion level drops off during the premenstrual period, the body tries to maintain a critical level of estrogen in the blood by withdrawing it from the capillaries of the endometrium (as well as other regions of the body, as shown by Dr. Clemetson in studies of capillary strength). This leads to capillary fragility, rupture and blood leakage. Endometrial cells undergo necrosis and shock, and menstrual flow occurs.
In a woman on a raw vegetarian diet-which is usually very rich in Vitamin C and P - the estrogen never needs to substitute for bioflavonoids in the capillary construction of the endometrium. When the cyclic reabsorption is instigated it is done systematically and in a non-hemorrhaging manner just as it was in the earlier creation of the endometrium.
The dietary element in menstruation gets further emphasis from nutritional studies showing that over 70 percent of American women are Vitamin C deficient: the percentage of bioflavonoid deficient women is even higher. This study is a strong statement showing the shortcomings of the social - not individual - approach to nutrition.
To arrive at a better appreciation of the human female, we will examine reproduction in the mammals.
Undomesticated animals do not menstruate, but have periodic mating seasons, known as heat, rut or estrus, which usually occur several times a year, generally in spring and autumn. In the normal state, during ovulation, the genital organs of females of lower animals are slightly congested and are moistened with mucus.
However, after the non-menstruating animal is domesticated, the estrus becomes transformed into a bloody flow, manifesting as the menstrual hemorrhage. This results from an unnatural diet and artificial living conditions. This occurs with the cow, donkey, mare, bear, pig, cat, rabbit, dog and monkey. Monkeys menstruate five times a year. This has very little to do with fertility, since they rut only twice. The cow has a discharge, sometimes quite bloody, every three weeks; yet it ruts only once a year.
Dr. Rhodes, professor of obstetrics at the University of London, discusses the difference between menstruation and estrus:

The lining of the uterus is the endometrium, which is under the control of the hormones of the ovary. Since these are produced in waxing and waning cycles the endometrium waxes and wanes in time with the hormone secretions from the ovary. This is true for all mammals, but only in the primates is the phenomenon of menstruation seen. This is the periodic shedding of the endometrium from the uterus, which is seen as a bloody discharge from the vaginal orifice.... the physiological significance of menstruation is not known...
In the lower animals estrus occurs in regular cycles depending on the species and its environment. The vaginal bleeding which is seen in the animals at estrus is not comparable to menstruation... as bleeding is associated with ovulation in the estrus cycle; but the vaginal bleeding of menstruation occurs only after the death of the corpus luteum approximately fourteen days after ovulation.

Menstrual bleeding in Old World monkeys is associated with congestion in the arterioles located in the uterus lining. New World monkeys (Cebus, Ateles, etc.) have periodic cycles of bleeding, microscopic in nature and associated with minimal tissue loss. Goodman, Wislocki and Kaiser have pointed out that there are no coiled arterioles in these forms Dr. Rhodes writes: "The spiral arterioles are the key to the phenomenon of menstruation for they have been observed to contract and relax in the few days before the menstrual flow. During contraction the endometrium blanches and during relaxation becomes congested. This observation was made by Markee..... constriction of the arterioles is intense and so probably leads to anoxia... the vessels break too and this is responsible for the bleeding." (126)
The spiral arterioles are equivalent to varicosities in veins, which result from ingesting mucus-forming processed foods. The Old World monkeys have ready access to this diet from their civilized cousins: whereas, the New World monkeys have to be satisfied with bananas. Gilman and Gilbert (202) showed that menstruation is not natural for the Old World monkey. They observed that when female baboons were fed on a vegetables only diet, menstruation cycles ceased.
There are many cases where menstrual flow has stopped due to a highly toxic diet. The body is weakened to a point where it loses its ability to carry out the monthly cleansing process. As toxins continue to build up, unless there is a change in life-style, the female will develop some chronic disorders.
With cessation of menstruation during pregnancy, a toxic woman experiences many new discomforts when she is forced to hold onto her poisons. Morning sickness, edema, vomiting, dizziness and rapid breathing are some of the visible symptoms. Toxins are excreted via channels other than the uterus, but pain and illness result when these organs are already overtaxed.
When a woman never menstruates, it may be due to some malformation, such as an imperfectly formed hymen, atresia of the vagina or imperfect development of the vagina, uterus or ovaries. It may be due to a general disturbance in the quality and quantity of nutrients as well as to disorders of the endometrine system, including ovarian tumors.
Temporary cessation of the menstrual cycle may occur with a change in routine or in climate, a long journey (especially to ocean or mountains), change of residence from country to city or vice versa, extraordinary joy, grief, anxiety or exciting work, exams and study, entering a new occupation, financial troubles, a love affair, difficulty in home life, and/or obesity.
When the female starts to improve in health due to improved nutrition, if the disorder is not a structural one, she will start to menstruate, quite often profusely. As the months progress, menses will become painless. If the female is healthy enough, menses will cease. This time it will be to her benefit.
"and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women..... For Sarah conceived, and bore Abraham a son in his old age." (Genesis 18:11 and 21:2). Most physicians dogmatically believe that it is impossible for a non-menstruation woman to conceive. Sarah was amenorrheic (non-menstruation) and she conceived. Most women who visit doctors for infertility. When physiological factors have been excluded, the doctor looks for malnutrition. Yet we find in undeveloped countries a situation of chronic protein-caloric malnutrition as well as rapid population growth.
The following studies show that, "Severe general under-nutrition may produce amenorrhea (cessation of menstruation) and infertility." In Rotterdam during the period of gross malnutrition from December 1944 to May 1945, fifty percent of the women had amenorrhea and the weekly conception rate fell from a prewar figure of 206 to 93." However, the difference in fertility could have been due to war and the absence of men. Millis, in another study, found no evidence of reduced fertility in Singapore during a period of general under-nutrition in 1947.
Whitacre and Barrera state : "During war and in other situations where starvation conditions existed, amenorrhea is common."
Hommberg found that before the war, out of 1356 patients observed, only nine percent of the cases were amenorrhea. In 1917 there was a rise to five percent and in 1918 to nine percent. German physicians attributed this to "defective nutrition, underfeeding, physical starvation, exposure to cold and wet, and enforced celibacy."
Rubner, in his report on under-nutrition in Germany during the World War blockade, stated that on reduced rations, (31 gm. protein), a cessation of menstruation occurred with many women. Strickel found that during 1917, cases of amenorrhea were seven times more frequent at Charite Frauenklinic, Berlin than before the war.
The conclusion one can draw from these two studies is that general under-nutrition does not necessarily lead to infertility. As a matter of fact, a diet adequate in vitamins, minerals and sunshine, though low in protein, but otherwise adequate, have been around for thousands of years and show no loss in fertility. Their daily dietary intake is 1500 calories and 35 grams of vegetable protein.

On the Faroe Islands it is said that the women are entirely free from menstruation. Among the Samoyedes, Mantegezza says that menstruation is so slight that some travellers have denied its existence there. Among the native women of Tierra del Fuego, menstruation is said to be absent except in rare instances. According to Velpeau, the women of Greenland menstruate scantily two or three times a year.

Dr. Alexis Haig writes on his experience with humans; "Excessive loss at the period has been greatly influenced by the patient going on a uric acid free diet. A remarkable and very interesting point with regard to one or two of the cases was the tendency for the low at a period to be missed out all together. These last cases have since married and had children without any trouble. Can it be that by living on a more natural diet woman would have per periods correspond then with those of other mammals (which are bloodless)."
Dr. Israle, M.D. writes that in his practice he has run into some cases where the females do not menstruate but do conceive. He writes: "It is absent in the few women who never menstruate but nevertheless bear children and show on repeated biopsies, cyclic endometrial changes identical with those of menstruating women."
Dr. George White, M.D., who practiced for 50 years in Los Angeles, showed in his book, "The Emancipation of Women or Regulating the Duration of Menses", that menstruation is not necessary for fertility.

I waited until I had "naturized" practically all the women in public life and waited years to see the offspring of the third generation because I would publish my findings of facts from which to formulate my conclusions. One of the strangest facts in this "naturizing" themselves as their mothers and grandmothers have been "naturized" by me. Of course, superstition is back of all this secrecy."

He used a totally vegetarian diet to bring about the desirable results. The book contains many examples like the following:

Single woman, 23 years of age. Flowed bright blood five or six days of each month. Had severe cramps that she could not hold her position as stenographer. Treated her three months, three days each month. Then once a month for three months. Her periods changed to half a day mucous flow with not blood at all. She was able to resume her work and did so for two or three years. She married and has had three daughters. Each of them had a mucous flow for about half a day each month and are in perfect health. One is married and had a healthy baby girl.

I think that the negative effect of menstruation on a woman"s emotional state is clear to everyone. Just the turmoil endured monthly is sufficient reason to try to look for alternative solutions. In addition to the emotional effect is the physiological damage. It has been estimated that to replace the losses of menstruation during a lifetime, a woman has to synthesize tissue up to 100 percent of her body weight. Nutrients lost include lecithin, calcium phosphate, sodium chloride, alkaline lactates, sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride, cholesterol, albumin, mucin Vitamin A and E and amino acids.
It is this periodic depletion of hormones (six times higher in menstrual blood than in regular blood) that leads to menopause. Menstruation is truly a disabling phenomenon and a product of our societal dieting pattern.
Today there is widespread research linking the onslaught of heart attacks, high blood pressure, cancer, etc., with diets containing excessive amounts of protein. As I"ve shown in my books, high protein intake is a trademark of modern society. And I"ve documented the success in fighting disease using diets with small amounts of predigested vegetarian protein.
There is a strong association between the high protein diet and menstruation. Dr. Bieler, M.D., Dr. George Starr, M.D., and Dr. Schroyer, M.D., all write of cases where a change from a high protein (meat) diet to natural food reduced the menstruation considerably or to the point of non-significance. The strength of the menstruation considerably or to the point of non-significance. The strength of the menstrual myth is the mistaken link between high protein needed for health and menstruation as a basis for fertility.
Research as documented by Dr. Israel, M.D., indicates a similar cyclic production of endometrial tissue in all women, including those who do not menstruate yet still give birth to children. Dr. Alexis Haig sums up his observations on child bearing women who don"t menstruate with a question that is the basis for this article. "Can it be that by living on a more natural diet woman would have periods corresponding with those of other mammals (which are bloodless)?"
In conclusion, as long as the diet provides a complete protein (see "Survival into the 21st Century") and is high in life factors such as vitamins, organic minerals and enzymes, the female has adequate amounts of nutrients for reproduction and also for longevity. She will be gifted with health, spiritually and mental powers.
The hypothesis expressed relating improved diet with slowing or stopping menstrual flow, while controversial, has too much potential benefit to be discarded or overlooked. If you are a woman this article gives you a basis to better your life. Research can always be disputed, no matter who the investigator. You can improve your life through diet, and possibly free yourself from the ills of menstruation.
The following letters are a few of the many I have received which relate dietary changes to cessation of menstruation:

Dear Vik,
I was a complete vegetarian by the time I was 15 (I"m now 18). My periods began to come less frequently (about once every three months) and then stopped altogether by about two years ago. My parents were really worried about this but I felt better than ever so I wasn"t too concerned. Mon took me to a gynecologist who did blood tests, etc., and said I was "amazingly healthy". But he said he could put me on the pill and get me started again! No thanks!
I was getting around to thinking that, since I was feeling so great and not menstruating, perhaps menstruation was a symptom of a "disease", rather than the old "normal, natural process".
I got to thinking that on my natural diet, I"d "de-domesticated" myself and my body was behaving accordingly. So I tried an experiment about nine months ago. I ate dairy foods for a few days to see the effect. Sure enough, I got two periods after that. Since then, I"ve become increasingly confident that not menstruating is natural, and that diet is the key. Eat fresh fruit, raw vegetables and sprouts, some nuts and seeds, and very little cooked food except for some grains in winter occasionally.
Anyway, thanks for the book. It"s inspiring and reassuring.

Dear Victoras,
What a wonderful gift I received on my 35th birthday, August 7th - a copy of "Survival Into the 21st Century". I spent my birthday on the beach poring over the contents in a great frenzy to take in as much of it as possible! I was a patient of Dr. Bieler"s until his death almost a year ago, so you can imagine my joy in finding your speaking of toxemia, the detoxification regimens, and all the principles I either learned from Dr. Bieler or have come to find out about by myself. And the book has answered so many questions I have had about my remaining health and detoxification problems - problems I had come to believe were just never going to get solved. Anyway, your book has given me a new jolt of confidence to continue with my own purification process and a renewal of enthusiasm over the directions I am following. One initial diversion though. The greatest value of your book for me personally was its lifting of my concern and sometimes worry about the cessation of my menstrual periods after a year on my Bieler diet. After a few months on the initial detoxification diet Dr. Bieler set down for me, all usual symptoms accompanying menstruation (tender breasts, fatigue, nervousness, abdominal discomfort, and heavy bleeding) stopped. Then my periods came every other month, every 56 days exactly. This happened for six months. Then my last period - in January 1975. I haven"t menstruated since. Nothing I read, nor anyone I spoke to, had any answer. Dr. Bieler said simply that my body now "had more important things to do" and seemed to indicate that the menstrual function would return when my glands rebalanced themselves. My good friend Rob, a young doctor just beginning to practice nutritional medicine here in California (I"ll tell you more about him later) was convinced the amenorrhea was nutritionally based, and gave me supplements guaranteed to work within four months. Nothing happened. That"s where I stood when I got your book - and what a relief. I"ve thrown out those awful supplements and now know I will never menstruate again, and that there"s nothing wrong with me. My husband is quite intrigued, and even amused, over this whole turn of events...
Dr. Bieler put me on a diet: Milkshake (raw milk, cooked fruit, and raw egg yolk) for breakfast; milk and a piece of bread and vegetable soup for lunch; and a huge salad and cooked vegetables for dinner; diluted fruit juices in between meals. No salt. I continued on this diet for a year and had one crisis after another after another after another. In a year"s time, I had lost 25 pounds, felt great and most of the frequent crises had stopped. We began adding raw fruit, occasionally meat, cooked eggs and some starchy vegetables, but I eliminated the bread. I still craved it and felt it better now to have any. We experimented, but I still had constipation, intestinal autointoxication episodes, of terrible severity I might add - and I had no idea what was causing them.
On my own, when Dr. Bieler was ill and dying I stopped my milk, and of course, did much better. I made other changes, but just couldn"t solve the intestinal problems. Since your book, I have learned much about my own intestinal purification. I have added much more fruit which always fermented in that horrid mess in the colon, but no more. And I"ve eliminated cooked vegetables for lunch consisting usually of sprouts, cabbage, celery and whatever else I have (zucchini, onions, cucumber, cauliflower, or broccoli) and a raw salad with olive oil, lettuces, chard, beet greens, and some raw vegetables for dinner preceeded by 8 oz. glass of carrot juice. The quantity is the smallest in servings I"ve ever had, and I seldom even get very hungry anymore, so I"m ready to begin even further.
My bowel elimination is gradually improving, which is the last problem I have to contend with. I"m having fuller and more regular bowel movements (usually one a day, and for many days at a time, two per day). I fast regularly, as I am working on regular exercises to improve abdominal muscles, and daily do deep breathing.

I am currently writing a booklet on natural approaches to dealing with dysmennorhea and the premenstrual syndrome.
I know of numerous women who have stopped menstruating while attending meditation courses. Many of the women who cease to have their period on any regular basis afterwards also seem to have the common denominator of being on a raw-food diet. A number of women have reported menstruating twice a year only, suggesting to me an estrus cycle instead of a menstrual cycle.

A realistic person does not reject certain possibilities just because they are contrary to existing beliefs or cultural phenomena. What is unbelievable for us today may well be taken for granted by our children.
In the future, it is my intention to publish studies which validate further the concept that menstruation is not necessary for fertility and which help the cause of women seeking their divine nature - which in turn will further stimulate the coming Age of Light to planet Earth.
