Survival Into The 21st Century part 3

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. " 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 thier civilized cousins whereas the New

World monkeys have to be satisfied with bananas. Gilman and Gilbert

showed that menstruation is not natural for the Old world monkey.

They observed that when female baboons were fed on a vegetables only,

menstruation cycles ceased.

 

MENSES AS A

TOXIC REACTION

Dr. Bieler, in the informative book " Natural Way to Sexual

Health " , Discusses menstruation: " The female suffering from a state

of toxemia,with her liver failing to filter as it should, places a

burden on the natural menstrual functions...this function is turned

into a sort of garbage filter, resulting in chronic inflammation of

the womb.

" When toxic blood seeks an outlet through the womb via the

menstrual function, the resulting inflammation and irritation to the

delicate mucous membrane throws the organ into spasms which are

registered as pain or cramps. If the toxin is milder or more dilute,

the the patient simply feels heavy or congested in her pelvis. Once

the flow has started, nature pours out as much toxic material from

the blood as possible. This inflames the deeper layers of the womb.

What should ber a normal. flow develops into a hemorrhage, sometimes

lasting for days and reducing the patient to a state of anemia. The

womb weakened ofter such chemical poisoning is easy prey to harmful

bacteria. "

" Toxins that have been temporarily sidetracked onto the body

tissues and into such organs as the lymph glands, spleen, liver,

subcutaneous tissues, skin, muscles, and bones are mustered and

thrown into the bloodstream. They seek vicarious elimination through

the menstrual flow. The patient feels heavy and congested in the

pelvic area. There is a slight rise in temperature, which means that

the adrenal glands have increased oxidation in an effort to burn some

of the toxic material. The pulse becomes rapid; the palms sweat;

nervousness and insomnia follow. "

The QUALITY OF THE MENSTRUAL BLOOD varies according to the

chemistry of the toxic material. BRIGHT RED, profuse, odorless blood

accompanied by severe uterine cramps comes from improper digestion of

starch and sugar. The offending toxins are acids such as lactic,

acetic, pyruvic, oxalec and formic which have not been completely

oxidized to carbon dioxide and water. On the other hand if the

menstrual BLOOD IS DARK, odorous, clotted, and stringy, the toxins of

protein indigestion or putrefaction are present. Eggs, cheese, and

overcooked meat can cause the most offensive odors in the menstrual

blood. Thus it is obvious that the womb, which nature selected as the

organ of reproduction, can, under chemical duress. become an organ

for the elimination of putrid waste. "

Dr.Schroyer, New England gynecologist, after studying dietary

influence on menstruation and on the mucus discharge of leucorrhea,

concludes that both have their origin in the inflammatory condition

of the uterine mucus membrane due to toxic condition of the

intestines (autointoxication).

Reynold and Kaiser believe that menstrual bleeding is due to

excessive amount of protein waste in the lymphsystem plus the damage

done to the lining of the uterus by putrefaction. Reynold

suggests: " ...that the bleeding is due to an inadequacy of

endometrial lymphatic channels to provide a ready mechanism for the

removal of the protein catabolites formed following withdrawal of

metabolec support of the endometrium. " . These substances, as

expressed by Kaiser, " remain in situ and cause further tissue

destruction until the endometrium is shed down to the area maintained

by the capillary bed of the basal arterioles " .

 

Menstrual Loss of Essential Body

Fluids and Nutrients

The male on attaining adulthood is concerned with maintaining

body tessues built during the period of growth. However the adult

female body is challenged with the increased demands of nutritional

needs during pregnancy. In the human female, even in the absence of

pregnancy, it has been estimated that replacement of the losses

during menstruation may require the synthesis of tissue equivalent to

100% of her body weight.

Among the nutrients lost are lecithin, calcium phosphate, sodium

cloride, alkaline lactates, sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride,

cholesterol, albumin, mucin, vitamins A and E, amino acids.

Dr. Frank, New York gynecologist, says that menstruation

involves a very high loss of female sex hormones. In the menstrual

blood there is six times the number of sex hormones concentrated than

in blood in general circulation. Thes periodic loss of sex hormones

in a period of thirty to forty years of menstruation brings on the

menopause, effecting loss of youth.

 

Cessation of Menstruation

Due to Poor Health

There are many cases where menstrual flow has stopped due to a

highly toxic diet. The body is weakened to a point where it losses

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 symptons. 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 endocrine system, including

ovarian tumors.

Temporary cessation of the menstrual cycle may occure with a

change in routine or in climate, a long journey (especially to ocean

or mountains), change of residesce from country to city or vice

versa, extraordinary joy, grief, anxiety or exciting work, exams and

study, entering a new occupation, finacial troubles, a love affair,

difficulty in home life, 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.

 

Cessation of Menstruation

Due to Superior Health

Professor Evans, in experiments with animals, showed that by

reducing the protein intake one can delay the appearance of the first

estrus and lengthen the resting period between successive periods.

Reduction of caloric intake leads to similar, but less marked results.

Comparing the modern woman to the less sophisticated one, we

note that menstruation is less a problem among primitive

peoples: " One is astounded at the apparent cleanliness of the vagina

in Navaho women who know nothing of douches and personal hygiene, Few

Navaho women wear undergarments and the great majority apparently do

not use perineal pads during minstruation. "

In a detoxified woman, the bloodstream has all the material

needed to build healthy tissue; as a result her uterus is made of

strong tissue, and, with the monthly increase in blood pressure,

blood will not be forced through the uterine tissue.

The toxicity of menstrual blood has been well substantiated.

Mach and Lubin showed that the blood plasma, milk, sweat and saliva

of menstruating women contains a substance that is highly toxic to

protoplasm of living plants. This toxic substance is not present

during the intermenstrual periods.

The presence of toxic matter becomes obvious when one discovers

that " during the first three days of menstruation the leukocyte

counts in the
