I came across this load of steaming bullshit today out of pure boredom. It includes such gems as:Most women, including myself, experience menstruation because they are not truly clean on the inside. Menstruation is the body’s desperate attempt to free itself from toxins, and many females experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in addition to the needless bleeding.
and

For almost six months in 2006, I ate a completely raw diet, and I only experienced two menstrual cycles.
I think it's ridiculous that women, of all people, are being misinformed about menstruation. It's just stupid and it boggles my mind.
Menstruation does not occur to get rid of "toxins". It occurs to shed uterine lining. Know what helps build it up in the first place? A good diet and enough nutrition. When you don't get enough nutrition, you stop menstruating. This is what happens to people with anorexia and other possibly serious conditions - see here.
Don't get me wrong though, periods aren't even very necessary as far as I'm aware. In fact, our ancestors probably spent more time being pregnant than we do now, and most likely didn't have the opportunity to eat as well as we currently can, thereby reabsorbing the uterine lining in an attempt to make up for it.
So while bleeding isn't necessary, a good diet is. 0 Comments - Post/view comments
