The Myth of Menstruation
Concurring with my very good good friend and brother, Rev. Phil Valentine (metaphysician out of New York), the female menstrual cycle is typical, but NOT normal. As the human physique has the innate abilities to adapt to pathologies, irregularities, and abnormalities, the female entire body (at any time due to the fact the Terrific fall practically 6,000 several years ago and which has definitely very little to do with a fictitious Biblical character named Eve) has tailored to the pathology of menstruation and now utilizes this approach as a cleaning method to rid the feminine human body of poisons and waste. The woman entire body has taken that which is unnatural (to bleed and lose the very important existence essence) and transformed that process into a normal female entire body operate. Due to the fact of the menstrual cycle, women now have an more eliminative channel in the vagina, bringing their overall to 6 significant eliminative channels (colon, lungs, kidneys, liver, pores and skin, and vagina). It is for the reason that of this sixth eliminative channel that rids the feminine entire body of unnecessary squander and toxic compounds that girls generally outlive adult men by 7 years.
Why is menstruation viewed as a dis-simplicity? Mainly because it is not natural in nature or the wild (cost-free). It is uncommon to discover a mammal that life and eats according to the laws of Mother nature to have a menstrual cycle. Have you at any time witnessed a female horse, gorilla, elephant, buffalo, monkey, hippopotamus, giraffe, zebra, rhinoceros, or cow owning a menstrual discharge? Really don’t you think corporate and greedy man would have devised female pads and tampons for these animals to prevent the spilling and dropping of excessively massive amounts of blood? Why of system corporate person would have, just like he did for Western and civilized lady so that she could continually fight in the war zone called corporate America that was initially developed for white males. Man established pads and tampons for profession women so that the menstrual cycle would not interfere with daily company exercise. You see, with men, there is no so-identified as “natural” phenomenon that in excess of takes the male human body at the time a thirty day period resulting in a break in chores and functions. Initially, during the cycle time, women of all ages abstained from function and other day-to-day capabilities. This split time thanks to menstruation was any where from 1-3 days at the most.
Menstruation is not abnormal in domesticated creatures in so-named civilization (which actually implies “slavery”). Just glimpse at the home cat and puppy. These creatures have a menstrual cycle, just like the social creature identified as girl.
For a human currently being, primarily a mammal, to lose its essential lifestyle essence (blood) month to month, is not a normal occurrence. Blood exiting out of the physique is not a purely natural factor. If a gentleman goes to urinate and sees blood in his urine, he initial screams in anxiety and then goes to the unexpected emergency area at the neighborhood healthcare facility to see the health practitioner. Why? Mainly because it really is a indicator that a little something is erroneous (if a gentleman does urinate blood, prospects are he has prostate most cancers).
The everyday living of the flesh is in the blood. Even the Bible tells us this (Leviticus 17:11). The blood consists of vital factors (minerals) vital to maintain exceptional well being. The blood transports the numerous minerals to specific components of the physique so that selected organs could work and operate optimally for the sake of the being. For case in point, calcium calms the nerves. Potassium makes certain optimal nerve transmission. Iodine regulates and assures exceptional thyroid gland working and action. Iron makes sure hemoglobin and is now the important carrier of oxygen (having more than this duty from the mineral “gold” which we no extended use in our modern day and degenerative states of existence as 3rd dimensional beings). Now if the blood which carries these minerals all over the physique is being removed out of the entire body for the sake of ridding the woman body of contaminants and waste (which the colon and kidneys could effortlessly perform), then the organs that need to have and rely on these essential features are not heading to get them and the outcome is likely to be dis-simplicity or deficiency of great or ideal well being (e.g. PMS [premenstrual syndrome]).
Take PMS for instance PMS is involved with mood swings, irritability of nerves, gasoline (flatulence), belly cramps, complications, human body spasms, small term memory reduction, and so forth. Why? Mainly because of a absence of vitamins and minerals or organ-precise foodstuff to these areas for appropriate functioning. With blood saturated in the vaginal place through the menses and exiting by using the vagina, the mind is not likely to get the minerals carbon, copper, calcium and potassium (at least the volume it necessitates). Calcium is a calmative (calming agent). It calms you down. Do you know why the animals who graze on grasses like oats, alfalfa, barley, wheat, and gotu kola are so tranquil? Mainly because they consist of large amounts of calcium. Animals know that God created the grass to improve for their advantage and very good health. The E book of Psalms clearly tells us that, “He causeth the grass to improve for cattle,…” Do you know why elephants are stated to have good recollections? For the reason that they graze on gotu kola, an herb that boosts psychological acuity and stamina. As a result, woman elephants do not expertise episodes of limited expression memory decline (nor do they build Alzheimer’s Ailment as the herb gotu kola incorporates bio-aluminum [organic aluminum] which appeals to hazardous, gentleman-designed aluminum which causes Alzhiemer’s in the first position, and rids it from the overall body by means of the blood).
With blood leaving the system throughout the menses, the nerves are not likely to get its required amount of potassium for good nerve transmission. The thyroid gland (a significant element in body weight achieve and loss) is not going to get the required amount of money of iodine it needs to regulate body excess weight. And with a important decline of iron, a trace element, anemia is heading to undoubtedly come about and lead to a host of ill-effects these as dizziness, weakness, nausea, exhaustion, frigidity (or feeling excessively cold), and brittle fingernails.
In the course of the menstrual cycle, the female overall body is going to saturate the blood supply in the vaginal spot to assistance with the menstrual cycle, and as a final result, required minerals will not be transported in the amount of money essential by the other body organs and users. These minerals that are lodged in the vaginal area through the menstruation will occur out in bulk in the “white” stage (leukorrheac discharge). Indeed, that white discharge typically referred to as “leucorrhea,” is complete of diet (that nutrition which did not make the grade accomplishing the menstrual cycle). The white discharge is thought of healthier or usual because of to its substantial mineral material and non-smelly or foul odor, while and in distinction to an annoying, pruritic, copious, foul-smelling green or yellow discharge, which suggests vaginal or uterine infection or other pathogenic situations of gynecologic origin. (See Mosby’s Health-related, Nursing, and Allied Health Dictionary, 3rd edition, “leucorrhea.”)
So PMS is thanks to mineral deficiency, and not a curse by God on women. Health care logic suggest that PMS can be fixed or corrected by counteracting mineral deficiency by giving the physique additional minerals before, throughout, and following the menstrual cycle. The finest resource of these minerals is uncooked, organic food items (fruits and veggies) and herbs. And recall, your physique has nerves that link to each and every organ in your physique. The fuel pockets in the colon explode and push against other nerves web sites in the colon (which comprise 360 nerve crystals) and trigger a host of other complications, primarily complications.
It is described that the African females kidnapped and brought to The united states for the duration of the American slavery period (1555-1863) did not have a menstrual cycle, but a interval. Yes, they only experienced a minor drop of blood the measurement of a smaller dot, which is why it was identified as a “time period,” that mark we make and use in the English language, but which is now linked with the menstrual “cycle.” The term “cycle” is now a synonym for the phrase “interval.”
We come across guidance of the illness mother nature of the menstrual cycle in the Bible in the story of Jesus healing the female who had an concern of blood for twelve many years. This account is in-depth in the Guide of Mark. Quite a few Christian reverends, who do not implement or comprehend metaphysics, construe this challenge of blood as a slice on the woman’s physique that Jesus healed, but if these ignorant Christian reverends comprehended medical logic, science, and actuality, they would know that no human being can bleed for more than a time period of 12 several hours with no dying! If a person bleeds for 12 several hours straight, we all know what comes about, apart from for our blind Christian pastors, particularly the Negro types. We study in Mark, Chapter 5, Verses 25-34, the subsequent: “And a specific girl, which had an concern of blood twelve years, And experienced endured quite a few issues of quite a few medical professionals, and had put in all that she had, and was absolutely nothing bettered, but fairly grew even worse. When she experienced heard of Jesus, came in the press guiding, and touched his garment. For she mentioned, If I may well contact but his apparel, I shall be complete. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up: and she felt in her human body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, right away being aware of in himself that advantage experienced gone out of him, turned him about in the push, and mentioned, ‘Who touched my apparel?” And his disciples claimed unto him, Thou seest the multitudes thronging thee, and sayest thou, who touched me? And he appeared spherical about to see her that had done this factor. But the lady fearing and trembling, understanding what she completed in her, arrived and fell down just before him, and advised him all the truth. And he claimed unto her, ‘Daughter, they faith experienced produced thee total go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.”
Now why do you believe this woman’s situation of blood that lasted for twelve yrs was called a “plague?” Effectively, what is a “plague?” The phrase “plague” is defined as: 1. A common affliction or calamity. 2. A result in of annoyance nuisance. 3. A very infectious, usu. deadly epidemic ailment, esp. bubonic plague. (The American Heritage Dictionary, 3rd edition, Business office Edition, pg. 633).
Do not most American ladies really feel stricken, irritated, or nuisanced throughout their menstrual cycle? The remedy is indeed! Why do you think they just take pharmaceutical medicine like Midol® all through their cycle? For enjoyment? Hell no! They are in ache or truly feel afflicted. Many or most of them (women) are not the identical all through this time, and they will tell you so, like they have informed me so. They turn into really grouchy and irritated. Several will tell you that they are a “bitch” in the course of this time and to go away them on your own and/or never say a word to them, lest they slap you or punch you in the experience. Why do they develop into like this? It is due to the fact of the calamity or the plague, as the Bible calls it.
In analyzing the Mark 5:25-34 tale or parable of the female with an difficulty of blood for twelve yrs, we must apply non secular or metaphysical hermaneutics and exigesis. Variety just one, the difficulty of blood lasting twelve several years could be no other than the menstrual cycle. It could not be a kind of blood cancer (leukemia) as most cancers kills typically within just 6 months to three years. It could not have been a bleeding sore on the system since nobody can bleed day-to-day and nonstop for twelve yrs. The touching of Jesus’ garments is a metaphor or non secular symbolical that means or action referring to Jesus’ way of life. A garment is what protects or covers you. Likewise, a righteous and wholistic way of living addresses and safeguards you (from illness, sickness, slavery, and untimely death). The lady touching Jesus’ garment intended that the woman touched (practiced) Jesus’ way of dwelling. The “fountain of her blood” referred to her vagina. And obviously, her “faith” (in becoming remedied by a righteous and Essenic lifestyle) manufactured her full (at ease and not dis-eased). It is critical to be aware that the parable commences by stating that she endured (took) lots of issues of doctors (prescription drugs) and experienced put in all that she experienced. If her difficulty was in point a wound on the skin as most Negro Christian reverends suggests, a health practitioner would have had know-how to bandage up the wound in buy to put pressure on the wound so as to end the profuse bleeding.
Moving on in our subject matter matter, if menstruation is important and all-natural, and serves to expel or eradicate poisons from the feminine entire body on a monthly foundation, why then does the menstrual cycle prevent or go absent all through being pregnant? Does a poisonous woman automatically turn into clean or nontoxic because of being pregnant? Of program not! So why does the menses halt? The respond to lies in the point of the body’s intelligence recognizing that a new existence is forming in the flesh and that the physique will want more nutrition for the constructing blocks of the new everyday living. The system appreciates it loses these developing blocks (minerals) through menstruation, so the body’s intelligence prevents the human body from menstruating when conception will take place. So what about the system of eradicating poisons? How does the feminine entire body toss off harmful toxins for the duration of pregnancy? The female body will benefit from the to start with trimester (or initially 3 months) to eliminate harmful toxins from the mother host overall body via “morning sickness.” I you should not have a clue as to why this exercise is referred to as “early morning sickness” because women will suffer via this sickness through the working day – early morning, noon, and night – a thing to make you assume about! Ladies will throw up (vomit, regurgitate) to assist get the entire body clear for the child to produce in. Some girls are so toxic, that the body will dump most of the contaminants from the uterine place in to the liver, which causes or manifests “eclampsia,” which is liver toxicity for the duration of being pregnant. Getting artificial and harmful pharmaceutical medicines euphemistically named “prenatal tabs” (created with horse manure, bitumen, and coal tar) and inorganic sources of “iron” (which is derived from rusted metals these types of as railroad tracks) will drastically perform a job in eclampsia. This synthetic and lethal “iron” [ferrous fumate and sulfate] is the bring about of constipation and bloated experience in expecting women of all ages. Pharmaceutical corporations combine this inorganic iron (individuals need “organic and natural” or “living” iron from plant sources) with inorganic sulphur. The injurious effects of inorganic mineral sulphur nonetheless, is caused by its affinity for iron and also its destruction of ferments and enzymes, and by its generation of sulphurous and sulphuric acids in just the organism. It steals the iron from food items and blood, forming sulphide of iron which constipates and dries up the numerous secretions of the digestive tract. It also steals nascent hydrogen from the fluids and tissues forming sulphuranhydride or sulphureted hydrogen. Women, this is the cause of the foul smelling gasoline you expel and have been revolted at, which is generally offered off by decaying organic and natural issue, animal and vegetable. It is the smell of rotten eggs, putrid sores, fecal issue, and decaying flesh.
Should menstruating women interact in sexual intercourse? For wellness and cleanliness good reasons, I say no, primarily if a girl is lying on her again. My reasoning is this – like the rectum, the woman vagina has a “downward” spiral electrical power. Most eliminative channels have a downward, spiral energy (e.g. colon, kidneys). Even though in the sex act, the male penis strokes in and out though inside of the vagina. As menstruation is a cleansing time, expelling contaminants and waste from the female body, waste and toxins traveling down the vagina to the exit or opening of the vagina will eventually be pushed back again up into the uterine space by the stroking male penis, and in particular if a person is stroking or penetrating difficult, rapid, and deep with his sex organ. This is some thing to feel about. Basic and very simple, it is unhygienic and harmful and poses a really serious health and fitness possibility.
In closing, what can a woman do to offset the aspect outcomes of the “plague” (menses)? The answer is found in the Bible in Psalms 104:14. It plainly states, “He causeth the grass to develop for the cattle, and herb for the assistance of man: that he could carry forth food stuff out of the earth.” Simple and very simple!
