Even given the knowledge that "my mother had it like this, so it stands to reason that I will too," there are steps to be taken which can minimize the onslaught of pain, bloating, cravings, swelling, anger, cramps and frustration which can accom- pany the monthly menstrual period. Premenstrual syndrome, a .syndrome' referring here to a group of related events, can often come about in the fol- lowing ways: one can use the analogy of a set of steps. . 1. A DEFICIENCY 0F B VITAMINS AND MAGNESIUM - leads to a decreased ability of the liver to break down glycogen (stored sugar) into Glucose. There is now a decreased amount of glucose available to the brain which needs It in large amounts. The brain becomes energy- deficient and the BODY NOW DEVELOPS A SUDDEN CRAVING FOR SWEETS. (The Connection here is that one of the body's main jobs in by Pat Irwln Lycett, RN., Certifîed Iridologist, Reglstered Nutritional Consultant 983-9475 life is to make sure that the brain is supplied with glu- cose,. not white table sugar, but the glucose resulting from the metabolism of com- plex carbohydrates.) We translate that as a need for- sweets. At this point there is generally an increased con- sumption of refined sugar!! (Many, many women experi- ence this phenomenon). INSULIN IS DUMPED INTO THE BLOOD FROM THE PANCREAS TO HANDLE THIS EXTRA SU GAR. This leads very quickly to hypo- glycemida, a sharp drop ln the blood sugar level, leaving the person on edge, wea, weepy, and feeling imprisoned by her body. 12. INSUFFICIENT B VITA- MINS HAMPER THE BODY'S PRODUCTION 0F ESTRO- GEN'. THEREBY LEADING TO A SEVERE HORMONAL IMBALANCE»»-pms. 3. THE CYCLE REPEATS ITSELF leading to carbohy- drate intolerance. The body, quite simply, becomes over- taxed, and unable to handie simple sugars well. (Whether the body was ever intended to handie simple sugar Is a moot point.) The inability to 'handlieý'food groups is often described as an intolerarice to that group, and symptoms of intolerance over a wide range. Cravings»hypolgly- caemia»cravlngs etc. etc. = a roller coaster effect generally Lancaster - Forget.* Back row are parent helpers: Don Beaton, Lea Dwyer, Norman Ferguson.

There are many available herbs, but well con- centrate here on vitarnins and minerals which have been found to minimize the sever- ity of PMS symptoms. Minerais CALCIUM naturally pre- sent in greens, milk (for those with no lactose into-Lerance), sardines, soybeans, raspber- ries, citrus fruit. A CALCI- UM/MAGNESIUM TABLET SHOULD BE TAKEN DAILY (Ratio 2.1), Double the does during the 14 days preceding the menstrual flow. THIS IS VERY IMPOIRANT, IN MINI- MIZING UTERINE CRAMPS. MAGNESIUM found in nuts, soybeans, kale, spinach, seeds, whole grains, ZINC meat, poultry, sheil- fish, eggs. IRON organ meats, egg yolks, wheat germn, whole grains. POTASSIUM dried fruits, unsalted nuts, celery, potato peeling soup. IMPORTANT IN REDUC- ING BLOATING. VITAMINS B 0f all the B Vitamins, a woman's -greatest need may be for B6.
