“No more cramping!”
Ever since she was a teenager, Dori had suffered from irregular menstrual cycles
and then polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). For many years she was forced to use
Provera to induce a withdrawal bleed. Overall she felt terrible, with constant fatigue,
digestive problems (especially constipation), and regular migraine headaches.
Not surprisingly, Dori had problems getting pregnant. She first tried in her early
20’s; only to find one of the drugs she was given caused a ruptured ovary.
After a whole series of drugs and fertility treatments had failed, her doctors finally
tested her husband and found he was probably the real cause of their inability to
conceive!
These experiences left Dori somewhat disenchanted with conventional medicine. So
when at the age of 40 she began to suffer the more severe symptoms of hormonal imbalance
in perimenopause, she wanted a solution that didn’t begin and end with prescription
drugs. That’s when she found us and joined the Personal Program.
“After about a week I noticed I was feeling better,” she told us later,
“no more cramping!” Now after two months she is feeling better than
she has in years. She was astonished to realize her menstrual cycles have become
regular again too. “With my PCOS,” she said, “this is the first
time since I was 12 years old that I have had regular cycles without some sort of
prescription!”
“When I went back to see my doctor recently, and told him my cycles were regular,
he couldn’t believe it. He wanted to know what I had done. I told him about
the Personal Program plan that I had used, and he immediately disregarded it. I
told him clearly it is doing something, but he was not interested. Now I know it
is time for another doctor, hopefully a woman who is more open minded.”
We know Dori can make further progress too, so we’re coaching her on further
changes in her nutrition to help her digestive issues and what remains of her hormonal
headaches. She’s optimistic – and so are we!
