PMS can’t be a normal occurrence. It can’t be part of what nature intended…and now I know that our toxic world is causing it (just like cancer, alzheimers, dementia, diabetes, and all “chronic” diseases). For years I’ve looked for a way to cure my PMS, trying acupuncture and surfing the Internet for ideas. Finally, I’ve found the single most significant contributor for me: hormone disruptors in our food. BPA or bisphenol-A is a lining used in throughout the food industry in food packaging, and it interferes with our bodies’ production of hormones (hormones that we need for a natural, sane menstrual cycle).
Canned tomato products like tomato sauce and ravioli have the MOST BPA per serving because of the acid in the tomatoes and the high heat used to process the food; it causes the most BPA to leach into the food. Liquid cardboard containers have plastic ingredients that cause the same problem (like the cardboard milk and rice milk containers, which also contain aluminum by the way).
To get rid of PMS, first avoid all canned foods and liquid cardboard containers (and then all plastic containers including plastic water bottles; bottles with “2” and “7” for recycle numbers have BPA and when plastic containers heat up during storage their toxic ingredients leach into the liquids). Then eat lots of green leafy vegetables to get the magnesium, calcium and other nutrients that your body needs for a normal cycle.
Please forward this to every woman that you know so that she can make informed buying decisions. There are other sources of toxins in our environment, but from personal experience I can vouch that avoiding BPA alone has made the difference for me between PMS and no PMS.
