Medical medicine over the century held women’s health hostage. Historically, all era grossly misunderstood women and women’s health. This gross misunderstanding, and to some degree simple ignorance, dating back to the beginning of time lend to too many unhealthy myths about women and women’s healthy.  Women’s lives have not been the same from the time man first became aware of female menstruation. Menstruation, which is one of the most important natural characteristics, that make women the most beautiful and powerful creatures on God’s planet also made women endangered species.

Reviews of literature on early life of women including the Old Testaments, and various ancient books of history reveal women suffered enormously.  Men subjected women to various levels of emotional and physical pain during monthly menstrual period. These historical accounts reveal that during those early dark ages of human evolution, female monthly menstruation forced isolation on women. Women were isolated from their husbands, families, and houses of worships during periods of menstruation.

Sudden monthly mood swings and in some cases erratic behavior changes coming from a normal beautiful young woman were strange to our ancestors.  Our early ancestors found it not jus perplexing; they were also mystified about the mood swing and behavior changes heightened by vaginal bleeding. They were not aware those biological changes are natural process of being a woman.

There are other written and oral historical accounts among ancient cultures, which reported some cultures took women to the wilderness and left them to die during menstrual periods. Man’s early ancestors perceived women as unholy beings. The general perception of women among man’s ancestors of all era and cultures were that women were spiritually unclean and in some cases evil. They believed women possess minimal existential value other than to bear children and serve as household caretakers. Women were not included in decision-making process. Women’s’ impute in life in those early dark ages were not sort and were quickly disregarded when offered. Nonprofessionals were not the only ones guilty of this horrible ignorance, clinical scholars also. Healing clinical scholars were nonsensically all over the place about women and women’s health just as many of them are today.  Ignorance has to be the worst of all diseases.  Women suffered not because of anything they did. They suffered simply because of our early ancestral gross ignorance of human physiology.  Women suffered simply for the way the Creator created women.

It is important to make the point also that women did not understand either, this complex anatomical and physiological changes taking place in their bodies. The regular never-ending biological monthly process presented emotional crisis in a woman’s life. It made biological developmental process a traumatizing period for young women. In family system, young women understood their brothers were enjoying what seemed relatively easy life. They observed also that their brothers were not experiencing the same set of problems as they were. For that reason, many young women in those dark ages indeed believed demon was in possession of their body.  Because of that very reason also, many young women wished they were boys. They felt inadequate, less human and out of place in their world. Many parents in some cultures were frightened having female children because of traumatizing family and societal consequences associated with having a baby girl. In those dark eras, many cultures took their infant baby girls to the bush and left them to die because of ugly mythical perceptions associated with a baby girl. Women suffered tremendous deep pain.

These deep psychic wounds and emotions of uncelebrated lives still affect women’s life and health today.  False acceptance of mythical beliefs that destroyed various levels of women’s physical and psychic beauty, as well as inner spiritual strength of who a woman is, are all buried deep in women’s individual and collective unconscious. Women carry from life to life these primitive past lives psychic wounds encapsulating very painful life experiences. Women’s gender negative self-worth stems from this past lives negative emotional pain. Resentments women have for other women who are in positions of authority and leadership stems from women’s past lives experiences.  Majority of women subconsciously believe deep in their souls that they do not belong to life’s pinnacle. Many of them believe they are not good enough and not worthy of enjoying some of life’s privileges men do. Many contemporary women still feel more secured when positions of authority and leadership are in the hands of men even though, women are equally capable or in some cases better than man in many of areas of leadership role . Many women resent females who occupying such positions or vying for such positions because of deep-rooted primitive beliefs that woman are not good enough to be in charge or lead.

Thank goodness, Ignorance has a shelf life. Intellectual evolution finally set in and helped man began to gain some insight into female biology. Man learned that menstruation is a natural component of ovulation and child bearing. Educated insight helped men begin to change some of the previous mythical beliefs and negative perception about women.  Because man is a protective animal especially in matters of family, connection of child bearing to menstruation induced men to become supportive and caring for women especially during menstruation.

Most cultures outside the West have male developmental rite of passages from the beginning of time. These cultures value and appreciate deep profound impact developmental rites of passages have on developing young boys. The Catholic Church also practices rite of passages in her tradition using baptism, initial Holy Communion, and confirmation rites of passages to guide young believers in the life, teachings, and groundings in the church doctrine.

These cultures felt that young women would benefit also in the same way young boys do. The idea led to instituting female developmental rite of passages. Female developmental rites of passages focus on guiding and teaching young women during developmental stages accept the beauty of self, feel confident and soul felt joy welcoming each presenting developmental stage. Developmental rite of passage helps a young woman gain deep insight about who she is as a beautiful human being. It helps a young woman learn about her body; appreciate her body and biological changes taking place in all levels of her body. The process of rite of passages help explain what those changes mean in the language only a woman can understand, from a physical and physiological perspectives to emotion, as well as spiritually. Developmental rite of passages helps a woman embrace and gain appreciation of all a woman is.

There are no question menstruation affects women in various ways. Women lose tremendous amount of health sustaining nutrients in the process including iron.  This loss in nutrients affects the production of chemicals the body use in combating stress and coping with emotion. This drop in body’s production of stress and emotion coping chemicals results in difficulties for some women managing stress and coping appropriately with emotion especially, during menstruation when the body is highly in need of those nutrients.  Menstrual induced nutritional deficiencies however, affect each woman differently. Depending on which nutrient or set of nutrients a woman is deficient,  levels of coping chemicals produced or in some cases not produced, some women experience a range of body and emotional discomfort ranging from aches and pains to behavior changes.

Many women who experience consistent changes in behavior during menstrual period usually seek the services of a psychiatrist because they think something is wrong with them psychologically. Many psychiatrists diagnose these women with a range of psychiatric illness from mood disorders to bipolar disorder and usually place these women on psychiatric medications.  However, mood swings, change in behavior and inability to mange stress and emotion during menstrual period does not constitute mental illness or psychological illness on the part of a woman. These women are not sick and do not need psychiatric chemicals to correct nutritional deficiencies.  Simple test such as hair sample analysis will reveal levels of nutrients including level of toxins in the body. It will reveal nutritional deficiencies. Women do not need to be on chemicals (medication) of any kind for menstrual induced behavior changes, which appropriate test, would show to be nutritional related issue. Replenishing the body with deficient nutrients usually corrects the problem or problems. Use of chemicals to mange a woman’s menstrual induced issues compromise a woman’s health and wellness.  These medications tend to induce in woman more serious psychiatric symptoms and other health problems, including liver disorder.

Health and wellness clinicians outside Western medicine use nutrition and healing herbs to support and nurture woman’s body during ovulation ages. It is important to note that women in cultures outside the Western experience minimal difficulties during menstruation. These women experience minimal mood swings and other psychological symptoms most women in the Western culture experience during menstrual period.

I am making a case medical takeover of a women’s body has created numerous health and wellness problems for women population, particularly in the West. Chemical management of women’s health subjects women to too many health problems range from premature aging, psychological problems, physical disfiguring, to other serious health issues. At the top of these health issues are various types of cancer including increasing number of endometriosis among young women. Many of these health issues including cancer manifest early in most women’s life. Some women face these health issues later in life.  Women outside the Western culture, particularly highly educated women who adopted Western chemical health management life style experience similar problems as women in the West.

For most women, medical chemical control of their body starts with birth control very early in life usually at unset of puberty. Birth control medications present serious health hazard for women.  The fear of teenage pregnancy and cultural belief that answers to health and wellness are in medical chemicals induce most families, particularly in the West to subject their teenage girls to birth control. This voodoo medicine did not stop at birth control. There are chemical products out in the market pushed on young women that manipulate, and induces a woman’s body to prevent ovulation for extended months at a time. This is clinically insane and in my opinion one of the worst practices of voodoo medicine.

Menstruation is a natural occurring process in a woman’s body “science” or anyone else has absolutely no part in putting in place.  This practice is equivalent to manufacturing a product to prevent the body’s process of excreting waste materials from the body. Practically speaking, this is the same thing as preventing the body from regularly going to the bathroom. This is negative voodoo medicine at its worst. These types of health and wellness abuse are some of the roots of various types of cancer and other serious health problems among women. Young women pay unfortunate and costly health price for using these chemical products.  Women of this generation suffer an alarming rate of ovarian cysts, endometriosis, breast cancer and multiple other types of cancers because of the insane medical chemical abuse of women’s body. It is an outrage. The height of medical brainwashing subjected to women in the name of healthcare and beauty is an outrage. Young women buy into this brainwashing machine and begin very early to destroy their health especially, this generation of women who have minimal tolerance for inconvenience even when their lives depends on it.

I personally believe that majority of women, including female healing clinicians have limited understanding of a woman’s body and health. I have not seen clinical outrage I expect form female healing clinician on clinical abuse of women.   A woman’s body is the most beautiful delicate flower God created. Her body is like a precious cargo that requires tender, gentle, and loving care at every stop. If there is, a sanctuary in the entire creation junk must not go into, that sanctuary is a woman’s body. Women and women’s health have taken so much abuse in the name of medical care. Unfortunately, most women clinicians follow the same clinical training designed by males most of whom have minimal understanding of who a woman is, and appropriate health and wellness care for women.

The bases of contemporary women’s health care are rooted in the early clinical knowledge of woman’s biophysiology, which in my opinion to say the least was inadequate. It is not difficult to make the case that much has not changed in meaningful health care for women. What has changed however is explosion in invention of clinical test tools, the height of financial exploitation of women in the name of ”healthcare,” and an endless drive to chemically control women’s body.  The intensity of this women’s healthcare madness motivated by greed continues generation after generation. We continue to observe also men in public policy arenas especially in politics and religion shamelessly making choices for women about their body and health most of them have minimal business discussing.

Every generation is as good as the generation they left behind. It is quite personally baffling to observe the rest of educated society sit around and allowed an industry hiding behind “science” cause so much health harm among women. Women of all class and colors under the rainbow must wake up and start paying attention to the foundation and model of healthy living they would be leaving for the generation of women behind them. What we allow to continues to happen to our female family members in the name of “medical care” is an outrage. Can one imagine the height of outrage men would be kicking up if there were a clinical suggestion to manufacture a product that will prevent boys’ penile erection during bedroom sexual intentions in order to prevent boys from impregnating girls?

Menstruation, which is a byproduct of ovulation, is one of the most complex and important natural biological processes of being a woman. Menstruation has amazing health benefits for women, even as inconvenient as the process may be for some women.  Very few living organisms have nature’s blessings of periodic physical renewal and transformation. The reptile species for example are one. Periodically most reptiles shed their entire skins and emerge with amazing beautiful and vibrant new skin. Nature gave this very same tremendous priceless gift of renewal and physical transformation to women through monthly ovulation and the process of menstruation. Menstruation is not a disorder.  It is not a disease and does not require medical treatment or for anyone to obstruct this nature’s natural process for any reason. It is quite troubling there is an industry, which hides behind science with professional attitude that science knows better about woman’s body than the Creator. This industry hiding behind science assume the audacity of changing at will for financial gain, normal natural physiological functions of a woman’s body as if they are changing shoe colors irrespective of health consequences for women. If this is not clinical blasphemy, I do not know what it is. In my opinion, this business practice is unethical and at the height of professional arrogance. Time is now to stop exploiting women in the name of care. Time is now to free women in all areas and educate this generation about the consequences of unhealthy living.
