00:01:07.56\00:01:08.65
Very good.
00:01:08.68\00:01:09.75
Okay. Okay.
00:01:09.78\00:01:11.46
I know, I never know
00:01:11.49\00:01:12.61
where you are
gonna go all the way
00:01:12.64\00:01:14.00
or just half the
way or whatever but--
00:01:14.03\00:01:16.76
Okay.
00:01:16.79\00:01:17.83
Hello.
00:01:17.86\00:01:18.91
Hey, that's a nice hairstyle
00:01:18.94\00:01:20.28
and the band around your
hair matches your blouse.
00:01:20.31\00:01:24.01
I'm a girly girl.
You're girly girl.
00:01:24.04\00:01:25.77
I'm a girly girl.
00:01:25.80\00:01:26.86
Okay, so--
00:01:26.89\00:01:28.14
It's all about staying cute.
00:01:28.17\00:01:30.91
All about staying cute.
00:01:30.94\00:01:32.16
Okay, well, I won't be
wearing one of those then.
00:01:32.19\00:01:34.88
Okay, now let's go on.
00:01:34.91\00:01:36.80
Now you mentioned about--
00:01:36.83\00:01:38.38
This subject is really heavy.
00:01:38.41\00:01:40.77
Yes, it is.
00:01:40.80\00:01:42.01
There are so many women
between the ages of that
00:01:42.04\00:01:45.12
18, 20, 30 years
00:01:45.15\00:01:48.44
that are really
still experiencing
00:01:48.47\00:01:50.80
premenstrual syndrome
00:01:50.83\00:01:52.20
and that's PMS
by the short name.
00:01:52.23\00:01:54.40
And so we get lot
of phone calls on that,
00:01:54.43\00:01:56.71
we know lot of people
that are going through that
00:01:56.74\00:01:58.69
so, I think its a
very appropriate program
00:01:58.72\00:02:01.48
to not only speak to it
00:02:01.51\00:02:03.13
but then also to
maybe possibly help other
00:02:03.16\00:02:05.53
individuals as going through it.
00:02:05.56\00:02:06.93
Yeah, I think absolutely, honey,
00:02:06.96\00:02:08.48
a lot of people are
experiencing that as well.
00:02:08.51\00:02:11.07
And a lot of the
time sad to say that
00:02:11.10\00:02:14.39
you have some
suicidal, suicidal attempts
00:02:14.42\00:02:18.31
and thoughts
during this times too
00:02:18.34\00:02:20.65
because it can
be very devastating
00:02:20.68\00:02:23.94
and we can put a person really
out of commission so to speak.
00:02:23.97\00:02:28.62
So we really need
to deal with this topic
00:02:28.65\00:02:31.41
and give some relief
00:02:31.44\00:02:32.87
because it's
entitled PMS relief.
00:02:32.90\00:02:36.29
Absolutely.
00:02:36.32\00:02:37.35
So after the program
we are hopefully give
00:02:37.38\00:02:39.11
the one some relief
then with this issue as well.
00:02:39.14\00:02:42.77
Well, what about
let's define that term
00:02:42.80\00:02:44.25
and what exactly is PMS.
00:02:44.28\00:02:46.43
Okay, PMS or premenstrual
syndrome sometimes called.
00:02:46.46\00:02:50.63
Now let's look at the words.
00:02:50.66\00:02:52.44
I remember my grade
school teacher many years ago
00:02:52.47\00:02:55.40
I guess about maybe
close to 50 years ago
00:02:55.43\00:02:58.72
we were in the
third or fourth grade--
00:02:58.75\00:03:01.02
I didn't tell my
age. Yes, you didn't.
00:03:01.05\00:03:02.72
I do say, fourth grade so
they can probably by now--
00:03:02.75\00:03:05.49
people are
probably doing the maths.
00:03:05.52\00:03:07.00
So fourth grade, 50
years ago you start school--
00:03:07.03\00:03:11.17
Okay, anyway
well, it doesn't matter.
00:03:11.20\00:03:13.19
But let's go on.
00:03:13.22\00:03:14.72
So anyway I guess
you got tired of us
00:03:14.75\00:03:17.40
asking to teacher, teacher,
what does this word mean?
00:03:17.43\00:03:20.61
Teacher, what
does this word mean?
00:03:20.64\00:03:21.77
So she says
class, if you don't know
00:03:21.80\00:03:24.89
what the word
means take the word apart
00:03:24.92\00:03:28.87
define its components
00:03:28.90\00:03:31.03
and then put the
definition together.
00:03:31.06\00:03:33.76
And teacher,
I've been doing that
00:03:33.79\00:03:34.95
for the last close to
45-48 years, all right.
00:03:34.98\00:03:39.07
My teacher, hopefully my
teacher is still watching.
00:03:39.10\00:03:41.98
She lives in
Huntsville by the way.
00:03:42.01\00:03:43.42
Teaches mathematics
in church in Huntsville,
00:03:43.45\00:03:45.86
Barbara Russell.
00:03:45.89\00:03:46.95
Anyway, so
premenstrual syndrome,
00:03:46.98\00:03:53.91
therefore menstrual the menses
00:03:53.94\00:03:57.26
where the blood
flow from the uterus,
00:03:57.29\00:03:58.96
you know, preparing
for the baby in the uterus
00:03:58.99\00:04:03.14
but the blood is pre.
00:04:03.17\00:04:06.17
Therefore it is pain,
cramps prior to the menses,
00:04:06.20\00:04:11.73
prior to the flow of the women
00:04:11.76\00:04:13.57
the bleeding from the uterus.
00:04:13.60\00:04:15.30
So premenstrual syndrome.
00:04:15.33\00:04:19.24
Usually when the
blood starts to flow
00:04:19.27\00:04:21.81
is when the pain, the
cramps begin to subside.
00:04:21.84\00:04:26.10
So it's really doing--
basically that lunar phase
00:04:26.13\00:04:30.89
the seven days,
three to seven days prior
00:04:30.92\00:04:35.05
to the menses,
premenstrual syndrome.
00:04:35.08\00:04:39.36
And that's the area
where a lot of women
00:04:39.39\00:04:41.26
are having
problems during that time
00:04:41.29\00:04:43.46
and at sometimes even during
the menses itself as well.
00:04:43.49\00:04:48.10
But usually by that
time the problem subsides,
00:04:48.13\00:04:51.45
gets less pain,
gets less cramping.
00:04:51.48\00:04:53.81
So it's really
prior to the menses
00:04:53.84\00:04:56.65
that's why it's called pre.
00:04:56.68\00:04:58.25
And let's talk about then
00:04:58.28\00:04:59.45
because those symptoms
are very, very important
00:04:59.48\00:05:01.67
and sometime
people are experiencing
00:05:01.70\00:05:03.16
may not even know that's
related to the menses itself
00:05:03.19\00:05:06.23
or they-- they will know that
00:05:06.26\00:05:07.39
once the month has actually
comes down it happens to them.
00:05:07.42\00:05:10.07
So let's look at the symptoms
00:05:10.10\00:05:11.32
of what actually is a
part of premenstrual syndrome.
00:05:11.35\00:05:14.26
Okay, good. I
think we have a graphic.
00:05:14.29\00:05:16.14
Oh, yeah, let's
go to the graphic.
00:05:16.17\00:05:17.20
You want me to read this honey,
or you want to read it or--
00:05:17.23\00:05:20.17
Okay, insomnia,
00:05:20.20\00:05:22.30
this is really when you
can't really get any sleep
00:05:22.33\00:05:24.19
and you got those
headaches going on,
00:05:24.22\00:05:25.98
these attention headaches
00:05:26.01\00:05:27.10
and sometimes be
the migraine headaches.
00:05:27.13\00:05:28.49
We got aggression.
00:05:28.52\00:05:30.51
Oh, yeah.
00:05:30.54\00:05:31.81
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
00:05:31.84\00:05:33.26
that's got the
attitude thing going on.
00:05:33.29\00:05:34.82
The depression okay,
fatigue, food cravings
00:05:34.85\00:05:39.79
Yeah, yeah and then
brain fog and joint pain. Okay.
00:05:39.82\00:05:44.01
I mean, that's a lot of stuff.
00:05:44.04\00:05:45.65
And I mean, these are
the same kind of things that
00:05:45.68\00:05:47.83
we hear different
women talking about.
00:05:47.86\00:05:50.03
You know, they start going down,
00:05:50.06\00:05:51.13
at least sometime every single
one of the things we mentioned
00:05:51.16\00:05:54.24
and or two or three
of the different things
00:05:54.27\00:05:55.87
which means that
you are into that
00:05:55.90\00:05:58.13
premenstrual cycle arrived.
00:05:58.16\00:06:00.65
Yeah, I know
and addition to that
00:06:00.68\00:06:02.16
and that's just
some of the symptoms.
00:06:02.19\00:06:04.07
I mean, that's just
a summary we can call
00:06:04.10\00:06:07.05
but of course, I
never experienced PMS.
00:06:07.08\00:06:10.80
Let's praise him.
00:06:10.83\00:06:12.01
Yeah, praise him too, yeah.
00:06:12.04\00:06:14.92
But anyway what I
have read in my research,
00:06:14.95\00:06:19.53
so this is not
a first hand basis
00:06:19.56\00:06:21.43
but what I read in my
research that the cramping,
00:06:21.46\00:06:24.33
the bloating,
the breast tenderness
00:06:24.36\00:06:27.41
and maybe you can
add to that, honey.
00:06:27.44\00:06:29.38
Well, I was gonna say,
00:06:29.41\00:06:30.44
you know, I do remember
all this kind of thing too
00:06:30.47\00:06:32.74
when I was in that age category
00:06:32.77\00:06:34.86
but now this time
of my age praise Him,
00:06:34.89\00:06:36.95
I don't have to worry about.
00:06:36.98\00:06:38.06
So you have more wisdom now.
00:06:38.09\00:06:39.68
Premenstrual
syndrome, but like I said before
00:06:39.71\00:06:43.00
a lot of women talk to us
about that and what's going on.
00:06:43.03\00:06:45.49
So now we talk them about
because its not just something,
00:06:45.52\00:06:48.44
sometime women that's inherited,
00:06:48.47\00:06:50.70
sometime, you know,
this in a family line
00:06:50.73\00:06:52.51
the mother, grandmother,
00:06:52.54\00:06:53.78
sometime it's
passed on down genetically.
00:06:53.81\00:06:55.86
But sometimes it's things that
actually can be caused by or--
00:06:55.89\00:07:00.84
Aggravated by
these different things
00:07:00.87\00:07:04.02
to like the diet,
lifestyle as well.
00:07:04.05\00:07:06.17
So it can make matters worse.
00:07:06.20\00:07:07.43
Absolutely.
00:07:07.46\00:07:08.49
So therefore, you want
to go to some other causes--
00:07:08.52\00:07:10.29
Let's look at that.
00:07:10.32\00:07:11.35
Because there are some things
00:07:11.38\00:07:12.41
that can actually make
this situation even worse.
00:07:12.44\00:07:15.31
There you go.
00:07:15.34\00:07:16.37
And so let's go to the
screen at this time, all right.
00:07:16.40\00:07:18.73
Look at some causes. Let
me read this okay, honey.
00:07:18.76\00:07:21.21
All right, Changes
in hormones, all right.
00:07:21.24\00:07:23.70
So therefore there is
imbalance of hormones going on,
00:07:23.73\00:07:26.92
this dealing with the brain.
00:07:26.95\00:07:28.86
Then we have chemical
changes in the brain as well.
00:07:28.89\00:07:32.43
Low levels of
vitamins and mineral.
00:07:32.46\00:07:34.67
We'll talk
about supplementations
00:07:34.70\00:07:36.97
later on in the program
00:07:37.00\00:07:38.09
where we can
balance that all as well.
00:07:38.12\00:07:40.10
Eating lots of salty foods.
00:07:40.13\00:07:42.86
I think we'll talk about that
because as I understand, honey,
00:07:42.89\00:07:45.98
and of course this is
just based on research
00:07:46.01\00:07:48.47
not first hand knowledge,
but there is a lot of bloating.
00:07:48.50\00:07:51.46
So a person eats
a lot of salty foods
00:07:51.49\00:07:54.52
that's going to
retain water fluid
00:07:54.55\00:07:57.77
who makes matters ever worse.
00:07:57.80\00:07:59.09
Is that correct?
00:07:59.12\00:08:00.15
Yeah, salty
foods is that going--
00:08:00.18\00:08:01.74
that's why the bloating
00:08:01.77\00:08:02.98
and also can be
swelling even on the legs,
00:08:03.01\00:08:05.87
the lower part
of the legs as well
00:08:05.90\00:08:07.45
because the body is
gonna retain that fluid
00:08:07.48\00:08:09.23
because of the salt.
00:08:09.26\00:08:10.37
And I'm not talking
about a small amount of salt,
00:08:10.40\00:08:12.06
I'm talking about just
really craving salty foods.
00:08:12.09\00:08:14.65
Now this is not as same as
00:08:14.68\00:08:16.24
maybe having
some salt in your food
00:08:16.27\00:08:17.69
but this is now
additional salt, okay.
00:08:17.72\00:08:20.18
Now, we didn't
even bring this up
00:08:20.21\00:08:21.43
but this is also
a heavy part of it
00:08:21.46\00:08:22.98
and that is craving caffeine.
00:08:23.01\00:08:26.28
Oh, caffeine.
00:08:26.31\00:08:27.52
Big time, chocolate--
00:08:27.55\00:08:30.62
Okay, chocolate, you
just heard my feelings.
00:08:30.65\00:08:34.88
You know, all those
kind of things is almost like
00:08:34.91\00:08:37.15
you know, is all that
you are gonna kind of crazy.
00:08:37.18\00:08:38.74
You just really
need to have a lot of--
00:08:38.77\00:08:39.83
It's kind of crazy.
00:08:39.86\00:08:40.91
It's kind of a deficiency
00:08:40.94\00:08:42.27
that's actually
going on in the system,
00:08:42.30\00:08:44.11
but really enjoy things like,
the extra amounts of caffeine,
00:08:44.14\00:08:47.56
the extra amount of salt
just makes it worse, okay.
00:08:47.59\00:08:51.77
Makes it worse so--
00:08:51.80\00:08:53.00
Okay, now what about
some lifestyle factors that
00:08:53.03\00:08:56.48
we can do, a woman can do
00:08:56.51\00:08:58.56
that will offset
the symptoms that
00:08:58.59\00:09:01.87
will have so many
symptoms subside a little bit.
00:09:01.90\00:09:04.56
What are some of
things that a woman can do
00:09:04.59\00:09:07.30
that can offset this or make
it even better during this time?
00:09:07.33\00:09:11.02
Well, first of all
we already mentioned
00:09:11.05\00:09:12.08
the fact about the salty
foods and also the caffeine food
00:09:12.11\00:09:16.55
and lots of sweets.
00:09:16.58\00:09:17.73
Okay.
00:09:17.76\00:09:18.79
Okay, something about
all those kind of things
00:09:18.82\00:09:20.31
and those always
a hormonal imbalance
00:09:20.34\00:09:22.19
but it just seems like
around at that timeframe
00:09:22.22\00:09:24.35
or coming up to that timeframe
you are more prone to that.
00:09:24.38\00:09:27.46
I do remember back in the
day, that was back than a day
00:09:27.49\00:09:31.72
when I actually had issues
with premenstrual syndrome
00:09:31.75\00:09:35.52
and also I know
that a lot of my friends
00:09:35.55\00:09:38.27
also talk about this a lot, too.
00:09:38.30\00:09:39.89
And so when you think
about back of that timeframe
00:09:39.92\00:09:43.01
your craving is gonna stop.
00:09:43.04\00:09:44.38
It's almost like,
you know, no other time.
00:09:44.41\00:09:47.27
So it's definitely a
hormonal imbalance, okay.
00:09:47.30\00:09:49.62
And with that in mind
00:09:49.65\00:09:50.85
you go after these kind of foods
00:09:50.88\00:09:51.99
and you have to really know,
00:09:52.02\00:09:53.52
but this is the
time and if you eat them
00:09:53.55\00:09:55.81
you are gonna be
in trouble, okay.
00:09:55.84\00:09:58.03
Because I just
remember specifically
00:09:58.06\00:09:59.56
about the chocolate.
00:09:59.59\00:10:00.76
Now, what some of
the things that you did?
00:10:00.79\00:10:03.26
I just remember the chocolate.
00:10:03.29\00:10:04.92
Oh, you just
remember the chocolate?
00:10:04.95\00:10:05.98
I remember the
chocolate. I remember craving--
00:10:06.01\00:10:07.81
You said chocolate four times.
00:10:07.84\00:10:08.88
Chocolate, chocolate,
chocolate, chocolate, okay,
00:10:08.91\00:10:11.32
and I remember after that
terrible, terrible headaches.
00:10:11.35\00:10:16.51
Really, so that
just really aggravated--
00:10:16.54\00:10:17.89
So after a period of
time you get to realize okay,
00:10:17.92\00:10:20.41
is it really worth all this?
00:10:20.44\00:10:21.62
Is it worth the sweets? Is
it worth all the chocolates?
00:10:21.65\00:10:23.73
Is it worth all
the salty things?
00:10:23.76\00:10:25.46
You begin and try to
get yourself together
00:10:25.49\00:10:27.02
and say I'm not
going to do that.
00:10:27.05\00:10:28.56
So you really have to do that.
00:10:28.59\00:10:29.64
The lifestyle
changes means to be on point
00:10:29.67\00:10:32.24
when it comes to
what you are eating,
00:10:32.27\00:10:33.86
it also means on point
about getting your rest,
00:10:33.89\00:10:36.29
it means on point about not
letting people stress you out.
00:10:36.32\00:10:38.44
Because remember I
said that we are aggravation
00:10:38.47\00:10:40.83
or you know, oh, yeah.
00:10:40.86\00:10:42.23
Because you got a
mood thing going on
00:10:42.26\00:10:43.70
and with that in mind
once again hormonal imbalance.
00:10:43.73\00:10:47.08
You know, your family,
your friends even know,
00:10:47.11\00:10:49.16
you know, I mean telling that
00:10:49.19\00:10:50.34
your periods on
or your menses on.
00:10:50.37\00:10:52.23
But I mean, just know that
00:10:52.26\00:10:53.89
this certain time
for me is not a good time
00:10:53.92\00:10:56.24
and if you
continue to just talk to me
00:10:56.27\00:10:58.97
you might not be happy.
00:10:59.00\00:11:00.93
Okay, you may--
00:11:00.96\00:11:02.41
You might not be
happy. Okay, yeah.
00:11:02.44\00:11:04.34
Let's do what
I'm gonna say or do.
00:11:04.37\00:11:07.20
Okay, I want to add to that
also I know, their lifestyle,
00:11:07.23\00:11:10.99
the eating, the carbohydrates,
00:11:11.02\00:11:14.27
they say that it can work where
00:11:14.30\00:11:17.54
if you increase your complex--
00:11:17.57\00:11:19.28
Now remember say carbohydrates
we need to define that term.
00:11:19.31\00:11:22.20
Complex.
00:11:22.23\00:11:23.78
Your whole grains
and legumes, complex
00:11:23.81\00:11:26.95
it will boost serotonin
00:11:26.98\00:11:30.26
and about seven days
prior to the menses if you--
00:11:30.29\00:11:32.99
A person is
regular that will help.
00:11:33.02\00:11:35.54
Also one other thing, I think
you missed as well, exercise.
00:11:35.57\00:11:40.21
Those women who
exercise on a regular basis
00:11:40.24\00:11:45.03
have a easier
syndrome, premenstrual syndrome
00:11:45.06\00:11:50.64
than those who do
not exercise as well.
00:11:50.67\00:11:52.59
So exercise on a regular basis
also be pretty good for those
00:11:52.62\00:11:59.03
to reduce those symptoms
that we just discovered.
00:11:59.06\00:12:02.48
I once again going back
talking about the same thing.
00:12:02.51\00:12:04.73
I meet lot of a young
women who will say things like,
00:12:04.76\00:12:07.01
their hands and they feets
they are cold all the time.
00:12:07.04\00:12:09.88
And I ask them, do
you exercise at all?
00:12:09.91\00:12:11.65
And they will
say, well, not really.
00:12:11.68\00:12:12.88
Not as much as I should.
00:12:12.91\00:12:14.24
But one of the
things is really good
00:12:14.27\00:12:15.62
for cold hands and also feet,
00:12:15.65\00:12:18.27
you know, is to
actually exercise.
00:12:18.30\00:12:21.02
You can't bring that up and down
00:12:21.05\00:12:22.52
it's good to get
out there and walk.
00:12:22.55\00:12:23.83
I don't mean time when
it's actually getting late.
00:12:23.86\00:12:25.88
Come on, I mean,
get into a routine
00:12:25.91\00:12:27.68
of actually getting your walk in
00:12:27.71\00:12:29.06
because it helps you a lot.
00:12:29.09\00:12:30.44
It helps that blood that
circulate through the body,
00:12:30.47\00:12:32.77
the fingers and to the toes.
00:12:32.80\00:12:34.41
And I also said to
them if you have cold feet,
00:12:34.44\00:12:36.94
when you go to bed
at night put cotton--
00:12:36.97\00:12:38.96
White cotton socks
on so that your feet--
00:12:38.99\00:12:41.30
Because lot of time,
you know, feet sweat.
00:12:41.33\00:12:43.28
And so in the winter
time especially it's wet,
00:12:43.31\00:12:46.05
your feet are
sweating so putting on cotton,
00:12:46.08\00:12:49.21
white cotton socks helps a lot
00:12:49.24\00:12:51.08
and that walking
helps with the extremities
00:12:51.11\00:12:53.68
to get that blood flow going.
00:12:53.71\00:12:55.52
And it works. It does, it does.
00:12:55.55\00:12:57.46
But I mean, I don't know.
00:12:57.49\00:12:58.73
They tell me it works.
00:12:58.76\00:12:59.98
They tell you-- It does works.
00:13:00.01\00:13:01.50
Yeah, so my wife
tells me it works.
00:13:01.53\00:13:03.65
Okay, now the
medication that people take
00:13:03.68\00:13:06.82
because during this time and--
00:13:06.85\00:13:08.34
What are some of the
medications they take.
00:13:08.37\00:13:09.50
Okay, Motrin, Midol, Aspirins
all these kind of things.
00:13:09.53\00:13:13.19
Tylenol, Ibuprofen.
00:13:13.22\00:13:14.51
Tylenol, Ibuprofen.
00:13:14.54\00:13:16.95
All those and
sometimes they eat okay,
00:13:16.98\00:13:19.00
but most of the time
it causes some issues.
00:13:19.03\00:13:20.89
You know, we are always into
trying to figure out, you know,
00:13:20.92\00:13:23.16
because they have
side effects to them.
00:13:23.19\00:13:25.47
So you want to look
at what's more natural.
00:13:25.50\00:13:27.01
What can I use
that is more natural?
00:13:27.04\00:13:28.41
So what kind of
things can we use
00:13:28.44\00:13:30.58
and I know that
most the time we say,
00:13:30.61\00:13:32.58
not just one day or one month,
00:13:32.61\00:13:34.79
you know, anytime you
do into herbal medicines
00:13:34.82\00:13:37.10
you got to do it
over period of time.
00:13:37.13\00:13:38.58
I do all the lifestyle
together not just one thing.
00:13:38.61\00:13:40.96
Yeah, we normally
say, three months--
00:13:40.99\00:13:42.75
Probably get to three
months or in this case
00:13:42.78\00:13:45.66
it would be three cycles.
00:13:45.69\00:13:47.83
Okay. Which
will be three months.
00:13:47.86\00:13:49.55
See, they want to know, okay.
00:13:49.58\00:13:50.61
What is that, what
is those supplements
00:13:50.64\00:13:52.06
that we can actually use?
00:13:52.09\00:13:53.47
Well, number one, of course,
00:13:53.50\00:13:54.72
the supplementation
is very important.
00:13:54.75\00:13:56.60
Some of the one that has
worked over the years B6,
00:13:56.63\00:14:01.02
vitamin E, calcium,
vitamin D, folic acid.
00:14:01.05\00:14:08.50
Again, B6, vitamin E,
00:14:08.53\00:14:12.70
calcium, vitamin D, folic acid.
00:14:12.73\00:14:17.20
And those based on the
percentage or daily value.
00:14:17.23\00:14:22.89
We get those supplementations,
00:14:22.92\00:14:24.06
I'll give supplement
we'll have the daily value
00:14:24.09\00:14:26.67
or say
percentage, DV daily value.
00:14:26.70\00:14:30.23
That should be 100
percent that way those vitamins
00:14:30.26\00:14:33.32
you don't get a whole
lot of one or the other
00:14:33.35\00:14:35.65
it will be nice safe range.
00:14:35.68\00:14:36.83
That's one of the
thing that we can do
00:14:36.86\00:14:38.04
as far as
supplementation is concerned.
00:14:38.07\00:14:40.24
Okay, I want--
00:14:40.27\00:14:41.69
I want a
piggyback off of that one.
00:14:41.72\00:14:43.55
Because once again I do want
to say that, ladies, listen.
00:14:43.58\00:14:46.90
We see a lot of
people who take vitamins
00:14:46.93\00:14:49.09
and they spend lot of money
00:14:49.12\00:14:50.83
and we will look on the
vitamin pack and we'll see--
00:14:50.86\00:14:52.83
we talked about
this before on the show
00:14:52.86\00:14:54.80
the B and C are
water soluble vitamins.
00:14:54.83\00:14:58.03
Anything excess of
what the body needs
00:14:58.06\00:14:59.57
is gonna be leached out.
00:14:59.60\00:15:00.64
So this is expense
adventure, all right.
00:15:00.67\00:15:02.47
And then we talked
about also the A, D, E and K,
00:15:02.50\00:15:05.41
ADEK that's the
fat-soluble vitamins.
00:15:05.44\00:15:08.17
If you take those in
you get too much of it--
00:15:08.20\00:15:10.10
Of course, it's
actually stored in liver
00:15:10.13\00:15:12.01
and it's gonna cause
some problems later on.
00:15:12.04\00:15:14.37
So that daily value
we want to make sure
00:15:14.40\00:15:16.52
it never goes above 100
percent of the daily value.
00:15:16.55\00:15:20.79
Because sometimes
people show me stuff
00:15:20.82\00:15:22.14
and it's like 3,000
of the vitamin B6 now,
00:15:22.17\00:15:25.18
its way too much, way too much
00:15:25.21\00:15:27.06
and it's also very expensive.
00:15:27.09\00:15:28.41
Okay, yes, it is. Good
point on that one, yeah.
00:15:28.44\00:15:30.52
Now what about a drink?
00:15:30.55\00:15:32.43
I know we talked
before about hot ginger tea,
00:15:32.46\00:15:36.72
we talked about that
is another thing to help
00:15:36.75\00:15:39.10
with the maybe the
nausea kind of feeling
00:15:39.13\00:15:40.83
and stomach hurting.
00:15:40.86\00:15:43.01
That's one of
the other ones also.
00:15:43.04\00:15:44.24
And did you have
now was that, Vitex
00:15:44.27\00:15:46.40
was that another one
you were gonna mention?
00:15:46.43\00:15:48.11
Yeah, let's listen
about herbal medicine
00:15:48.14\00:15:50.71
because herbal medicine
00:15:50.74\00:15:51.93
can play a very vital
role as far as reducing PMS.
00:15:51.96\00:15:55.34
So let's go to screen, let's--
00:15:55.37\00:15:56.96
This is our last
graphic right here.
00:15:56.99\00:15:58.77
Vitex and again
like I mentioned before
00:15:58.80\00:16:01.17
we always put in parenthesis
00:16:01.20\00:16:03.06
the botanical and
scientific name as well.
00:16:03.09\00:16:05.20
This is coming from
the Pharmacognosy Reviews.
00:16:05.23\00:16:09.21
Vitex sometimes
known as chasteberry
00:16:09.24\00:16:13.74
or chaste tree either one.
00:16:13.77\00:16:16.25
Still Vitex same herb,
"has been in clinical use"
00:16:16.28\00:16:20.87
to get this now, folks,
"regulate the menstrual cycle,
00:16:20.90\00:16:26.10
reduce premenstrual
symptom tension and anxiety."
00:16:26.13\00:16:33.28
Vitex also known as
chaste tree or chasteberry.
00:16:33.31\00:16:39.76
It's the same
herb because sometimes
00:16:39.79\00:16:41.32
it may use those
words other than Vitex.
00:16:41.35\00:16:44.66
This is very popular.
00:16:44.69\00:16:45.75
This herb
probably been researched
00:16:45.78\00:16:47.59
more than any other herb
00:16:47.62\00:16:49.70
when it comes to
premenstrual syndrome.
00:16:49.73\00:16:54.45
Vitex, chaste tree, chasteberry.
00:16:54.48\00:16:57.76
Not only that it
also reduces prolactin
00:16:57.79\00:17:02.51
that's why breast tenderness
is reduced because of that.
00:17:02.54\00:17:07.79
It increases progesterone
00:17:07.82\00:17:11.16
also releases
follicle stimulating hormone.
00:17:11.19\00:17:15.84
In other words this herb helps
00:17:15.87\00:17:18.09
to regulate
imbalance of hormones.
00:17:18.12\00:17:22.71
They researched more than any
of the herb for this condition.
00:17:22.74\00:17:26.58
Now on top of that
00:17:26.61\00:17:28.68
there is another
thing that's going on
00:17:28.71\00:17:30.04
to because with
the pain of the uterus
00:17:30.07\00:17:33.92
it enlarges
itself and pushes against
00:17:33.95\00:17:36.60
sometimes the wall to
cut off the blood supply
00:17:36.63\00:17:40.11
which causes the
pain of the uterus.
00:17:40.14\00:17:42.18
So what we want to do is
have some proper herbal medicine
00:17:42.21\00:17:45.59
that simply
relaxes smooth muscle
00:17:45.62\00:17:50.67
and the uterus
is a smooth muscle.
00:17:50.70\00:17:53.59
That being said raspberry
tea relaxes smooth muscles,
00:17:53.62\00:18:00.12
but the uterus
is the smooth muscle
