Hi Cranky,

I could use that nickname myself a good portion of the month, LOL. I have found that I only have about 1 really good week of the month, I believe I have PMDD (pre-men. dysphoric disorder). It is awful, I don't feel in control of myself at times.

I'm newer to the colon cleanse, but I will say this the best place to start especially if you are having PMS problems is cleaning up your diet. No white flours, sugar, refined, processed foods, stay away from MSG, Nutrasweet, and Hydrogenated oils. Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, try to find meats, eggs and dairy products that are Antibiotic and hormone/steroid free if at all possible. I am having a hard time with this because I live in a smaller community that doesn't carry a lot of organic products and the extra expense is not always in the budget :o(.

To start out the Colon Cleanse just mix 1 tbsp. psyllium and 1 tbsp. Bentonite in 8 ozs. of water, follow with another glass of water. Every fourth week add some liquid/gel cap Caprylic Acid (if using the gel cap, break it open and squeeze it into the shake) to help kill yeast overgrowth. I know I have systemic yeast and when I do the Caprylic Acid I feel a difference. Add acidophilus to your regime, eat plain yogurt or use acidophilus supplements from your local health food store (I don't trust drug store/Wal-Mart supplements to be very good quality)you don't have to buy the $40-50 stuff to have results, I use UAS LABS DDS Plus Acidophilus and have excellent results with it and it is under $20 a bottle which lasts me about a month and a half. Rid yourself of yeast overgrowth and I believe you will get a lot of relief from PMS. When I get myself disiplined enough to clean my diet up, I know I will see good results.

You are on the right track, a clean colon with healthy flora put back in, is not going to allow yeast to overtake it or your body.

Happy colon cleansing!!!

If you want to go all out, try the master cleanse. There are a lot of little surprises that you might find. I thought I was needing glasses, after The Master Cleanse I noticed my eye sight was better. I could read my computer monitor better and t.v shows now appear in three D.
I woke up one morning, walked to the kitchen and thought to my self "did I just make my bed?" What kind of a freak makes there bed every morning? Well, since my 10 day master cleanse, I all of a sudden have the energy and desire to make my bed. I'm now a freak.
As far as the woman stuff, I'm staying far away from that stuff. I have a female horse that has taught me a lot about pregnancy and hormones. Let's just say I have a couple of permanent scars from where she has bitten me because I wasn't respecful of her female situations. She's now 8 months pregnant and snaps at me when she does not think I'm feeding fast enough and then proceeds to lift one leg and threatens me because she does not want me to watch her eat. Where's the love?
