Period every single day

I haven't actually tried mushroom oil myself—has anyone here had any experience with it? And I suppose taking Omega supplements alongside Diane would be a smart move, wouldn't it?

My sister used to take it, and while it did help regulate her cycle, it didn't seem to do much for anything else, really.

Amanda Lee42, I’m not sure if I can be of much help here, but Dr. Peharec in San Diego was a total lifesaver for me, especially since I spent an entire year being treated for the wrong thing because of a botched diagnosis over at the Mayo Clinic. I know he does manual adjustments too, so that might actually be worth looking into for your husband.

On a related note, you really need to go out and get a second opinion, because honestly, it sounds like your doctor hasn't even given you a real diagnosis or figured out what's actually causing this. Plus, if she’s claiming your hormones are fine, then why on earth is she putting you on birth control and acting like hormone therapy is the magic fix? Just don't go rogue and start treating yourself, but definitely start pulling in some other experts to see what they say.
Besides, if you're constantly losing blood like this, you're staring down the barrel of anemia, and you seriously shouldn't mess around with that. Good luck.

Karen Brooks said:Look, we aren't debating philosophy here; I’m talking about physical reality, so that comparison doesn't really hold water. I could just as easily claim some disease is caused by radiation from aliens. That kind of nonsense is useless. If I have to believe in a cause without anyone being able to prove it or explain the actual mechanics, then I might as well believe in a fortune teller. Nowadays, most mental health issues can be explained quite logically without bringing up imaginary energies, so if what you're saying is true, why can't you explain this one?

So, I guess a woman with PCOS has to actually feel this energy to believe it's causing her condition? And how is it that she doesn't feel it when she clearly has the disease? Basically, you can't explain love to someone who hasn't felt it—fine, I get that—but then someone with PCOS should, theoretically, be able to feel this "famous" energy, right? Since, you know, how can you not feel the very thing causing your illness? Ahhh, right, I forgot, you have to reach a higher state of awareness or some other blah, blah, philosophy.

Ugh, I wasted an entire year on a guy who peddled the exact same brand of "wisdom." Luckily, I got out before things got worse.

Okay, that's your experience, but that doesn't mean all "alternative" medicine is just pure gibberish.
Quacks are everywhere, whether they're practicing Western medicine or alternative stuff.
I think the issue might be that things aren't regulated properly in certain places, but here in Canada, they are.
There are schools and universities that are government-certified, so you don't have random amateurs practicing alternative medicine.
I suppose you just have to figure out for yourself who is legitimate and who isn't.
And honestly, actions speak louder than words.

You can find charlatans anywhere, including within Western medicine, much like you find them in alternative practices.
I suspect the issue might stem from a lack of regulation here in America, whereas over in Canada, things are actually quite structured.
There are legitimate schools and universities that hold government certification, ensuring that unlicensed practitioners can't just claim to practice alternative medicine.
In my view, it really comes down to doing your own due diligence to figure out who is legitimate and who isn't.
And honestly, actions always speak louder than words.

From what I understand about the situation in America, there aren't established university programs for this; it’s likely just short courses that wrap up quickly, much like a modeling seminar or a quick workshop. (Though continuing education after a degree is a different matter entirely).
One doesn't exactly enroll in medical school for fun, as the workload is incredibly grueling.
But how are we supposed to discern who is trustworthy without being our own guinea pigs?
If you refuse to be an experimental subject and you don't accept scientific evidence, then I suppose you're left with those so-called user testimonials—the kind of miracle stories you see on late-night TV infomercials promising you can lose weight healthily without ever giving up your favorite foods.

There was recently a very public case involving an alternative practitioner, a herbalist who sold a "miracle cure" to a mother at a price that would make you take out a loan, and the poor child barely survived.😠 🙂
I even know someone personally who ended up in the ICU with issues involving blood sugar and heart complications, and that same idiot actually included their photo in a catalog of satisfied customers.👎
It isn't that we should blindly trust pharmaceutical lobbies, but everything needs to be handled with a sense of proportion.

If it helped regulate her cycle, that is actually a significant result; even prescription pills often struggle to achieve that consistently over the long term. If you're comfortable, feel free to send me a private message about the specific therapy and the results she saw, as I am genuinely curious.
