A member asked:
I have the worst periods. they are so painful i can barely sit without feeling like im in mid labor. what is wrong with me?

Dysmenorrhea: Probably also with pms. Your periods are controlled by the lower brain and this is easily compromised by lousy diet and vitamin deficiency. It is not a gynecological condition. The brain sends out exaggerated signals that cause the cramps. If you have pm chocolate or salt craving, resist them completely.
