Pms is Treatable

Posted on Sep 22, 2009 under PMS | No Comment

PMS ---the topic of bad jokes or good jokes depending on who is telling and who is receiving, the stuff of comedy skits and cartoons, urban legends and perhaps a defense for murder if the right or wrong lawyer gets a hold of it.

The truth? Let's be direct about this hot topic--PMS is NOT a disease, it is NOT a psychiatric condition and regardless of what you have heard or been told in the past, it is NOT natural. In reality PMS is a simple, treatable vitamin and mineral deficiency in your body. When you can get these vitamins and minerals back into balance the "problem" of PMS will almost for certain go away for you.

No woman should have to suffer through this monthly occurrence when there are natural ways to effectively deal with it. Picture in your mind your world with no more bloating, no more cramping, no anxiety or that legendary mood change that drives everyone near and dear to you heading for the nearest doorway...oh and no more of those horrific food cravings! An interesting fact is that PMS is associated with more than 150 symptoms that range from the bloating mentioned to the inexplicable infamous food cravings.

Leading studies have shown that there are striking similarities between PMS symptoms and the symptoms shown by individuals with major calcium deficiencies. The simple truth is that calcium can relieve PMS. It has been shown that if women don't take enough calcium, the hormones that regulate its intake react negatively with estrogen and progesterone in the body and cause PMS symptoms. The body of a woman produces more estrogen and progesterone during the monthly menstrual cycle.

Replacing the calcium by itself cuts the PMS symptoms by as much as 50%. Renewing the body's vitamin D at the same time (vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium) cuts symptoms by as much as 90-100 percent!

To support your body's levels of calcium, enough of a dosage needs to be taken daily. Women between the ages of 20-50 have been shown to need about 1,000 mg daily, which equates to about three glasses of milk each day.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is not often found in food naturally and is not truly a vitamin but a steroid hormone created in the skin by exposure to sunlight and is converted to a more active hormone.

The long established standard dosage of vitamin D has been 400 IU and was thought to be ideal for calcium balance and general good health but recently studies have shown that a higher than this minimum intake is better.

As always you should consult with your personal doctor or OB/GYN before undertaking any self-medication natural or otherwise and educate yourself by researching the resources found on The Internet so you can intelligently discuss your options to cope with PMS.
