Solving the PMS Problem Without Drugs

PMS (Pre-Menstrual Syndrome) is NOT a real disease, although many women would disagree with me. It's actually a product of our modern diet, combined with our daily stress, etc. There are several chemical changes in the blood of a woman that occur a few days prior to the actual menstrual period, or bleeding cycle. One of these changes has the zinc level going low, and has the copper level goes high. Since, very high copper/zinc ratios can actually cause schizophrenia, it might be said that every woman slides at least a little bit towards "crazy" or schizophrenic at this period. These imbalances can be very serious in some women. Of course, all these changes are individual, depending on the current ratios of copper and zinc, genetic factors, etc. There are several other changes as the female body gets ready for another cycle of fertility. There are different symptoms for each woman, although many become irritable at least. PMS is something that husbands use to explain when the wife gets angry or upset. And wives use it as well as an excuse at times. There is a very simple vitamin/mineral "cure" that seems to work for all women. This is simply taking vitamin B6 and magnesium supplements regularly. Unfortunately, this "word" got out, and some MD's heard about it, and started their patients on large doses of B6. These women developed different other problems which were then determined by the MD's as "B6 toxicity", and thus B6 got a bad name. "Learned experts" then wrote up B6 as possibly toxic in various articles and papers. The truth, known to all scientists who have studied vitamin and mineral interaction, is much simpler. If you take large doses of individual B vitamins, you are likely to develop a deficiency in some others. Thus, if you are going to take large doses of B6, you MUST be taking at least a 50 Mg B complex at the same time. (B vitamins are synergistic and all are needed to work together.) THIS IS CRITICAL TO AVOID PROBLEMS, AND YOU'LL BE IN BETTER HEALTH AS A RESULT AS WELL. As for magnesium, there is a built-in body response to too much - Diarrhea. Epsom salts, an old laxative, is magnesium sulphate, and a little goes a long way. It tastes terrible, and using magnesium citrate tablets from a health store is usually easier for most. On my website, there is a page devoted to a basic vitamin mineral regimen. It's the same one I've used for years. I have no vested interest in the manufacturer who makes the basic multiple, but I've found that it works for most for over 25 years. You'll also find my newest recommendations for magnesium and calcium balance. How much B6 should you take to avoid PMS? That's a tough question to answer, as everyone is different. The usual recommendation is to try taking about 200 mg per day at least 10 days prior to the menstrual period and see if you have PMS. If not, for that period, try cutting down to 100 mg for the next period. Keep experimenting until you find your correct dosage. Remember that you are the best judge of your health. You should be taking the B complex every day of the month of course, and preferably a good base vitamin/mineral supplement tablet such as the one recommended on my web page. If 200 mg doesn't clear up the PMS completely, try 250 mg, or try taking the 200 for the whole month. It varies with each individual. My wife, when I first met her over 20 years ago had very bad PMS. She started on 200 mg and had no PMS. A month or so later, she got quite twitchy, and remarked "You know if I didn't know better, I'd think I was having PMS. I'm feeling bad, and I'm craving salty foods." When I told her that I had cut her down to 100 mg she got very angry at me. So, she went back up and we found that 150 mg every day added to the 75 in the VM-75 was just right for her at that time. A year or so later, she no longer needed the B6, as the VM-75 did it for her. She has never had PMS again. This experience is typical for most women. I hope it helps you.
