  you remember when there wasn't even a name for what we now know as PMS?</span></b><span
  style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>&nbsp;It wasn't that many years
  ago that doctors considered it to be all in a lady's head.&nbsp;Long before
  that, hysterical women were considered to have it all emanating from their
  uterus. The solution? Surgery to remove the uterus (and with it the
  hysteria), hence the hysterectomy. Half a million hysterectomies are still
  performed annually, most of them medically unnecessary.&nbsp;</span><span
  style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Even twenty years ago, I
  do not recall that there was much serious discussion about PMS. A lot of angry
  ladies changed that.&nbsp;Now TV adds discuss PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric
  Disorder).&nbsp;Whats a dysphoric? A person exhibiting dysphoria, of
  course.&nbsp;Now for the real answer: a person with anxiety, depression and
  restlessness.&nbsp;It is derived from the Greek word <i>dusphoros</i> , which
  (appropriately enough) means &quot;hard to bear.&quot;&nbsp;</span><span
  style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>So now I've got dysphoria
  to read.(That was subtle, but did you get it? If you didn't, I'll get
  datphoria next time.) But seriously, folks:</span><span style='font-size:

  </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>PMS/PMDD symptoms may
  indicate pyridoxine (vitamin B-6) deficiency, as they are greatly relieved by
  pyridoxine supplementation.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>B-6 dosage to the tune of
  500 milligrams (mg) daily is very safe. Probably tens of millions of women
  suffer PMS symptoms; only a very few cases of B - 6 overdose problems have
  been reported. Daily dosage over 2,000 mg has occasionally caused temporary
  neurological symptoms in some persons. But this only happens if pyridoxine is
  given alone, or way out of proportion to the other essential B-vitamins.
  Taking ALL the B vitamins together (as B-complex) is the safest and most
  effective therapeutic approach.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span><span
  style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>( <a
  href="http://doctoryourself.com/bvitamins.html">http://doctoryourself.com/bvitamins.html</a>
  )&nbsp;When a balance is maintained, B-vitamin toxicity is virtually
  nonexistent.&nbsp;Is there a safe harbor? I think so. Use the entire
  B-complex, taken every two to three hours.&nbsp; Consider adding perhaps 50mg
  to 100 mg of pure pyridoxine to each dose if dysphoric symptoms are really
  awful.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>You can get some
  (probably less than 5 mg) of B-6 from food, if you really like to eat whole
  grains, seeds and organ meats. A goodly slice of beef liver contains a
  whopping 1.22 mg of B-6. Other dead animals parts contain less (turkey and
  chicken breasts are pretty good, but chicken liver is only 0.6 mg per
  serving), while most other foods contain very little.&nbsp;Avocados (0.5 mg
  each) and bananas (0.7 mg each) lead the pyridoxine league for fruits.
  Potatoes (0.7 mg each) and nuts (especially filberts, peanuts and walnuts)
  are relatively good veggie sources.&nbsp;</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>
  <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The US RDA for B-6 is
  about 2 mg daily (and it is LOWER for women), and this is ridiculously
  inadequate. A strong case can be made for increasing this to at least 25 to
  65 mg per day for people without PMS symptoms. But don't hold your breath for
  any raising of standards anytime soon. Consider that some research (the 1975
  MRCA study, for starters) has shown that of children ages 2 through 12, 74%
  did not get the US RDA of B-6. Thats pretty terrible, but it is worse for
  adults 19 and over: 99% got less than the US RDA of B-6. Does THAT ever
  explain the PMS problem in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region

  </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>(Thanks to Paul Mason
  at <a href="http://www.mgwater.com/">http://www.mgwater.com</a>&nbsp; This

  style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Increasing dietary
  magnesium often decreases menstrual cramping as well as PMS. Calcium causes
  muscles to contract, while magnesium helps them to relax. Dietary calcium
  gives temporary relief of menstrual cramps. However, calcium also depletes
  the body of magnesium and ensures cramping will occur in the following month
  if magnesium is not replenished.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Magnesium is used by some
  doctors to treat mental stress. On the periodic chart, magnesium appears near
  lithium. Lithium is often used to treat stress and related disorders.
  Magnesium is needed to shift calcium into and out of cells. Cells require a
  small amount of calcium, however too much calcium is a problem. Magnesium
  serves to regulate essential cellular minerals.&nbsp;</span><span
  style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>If you do not suffer from
  kidney disease, consider taking an oral daily dietary magnesium supplement.
  For generally healthy people the only known side effect from taking too much
  magnesium is diarrhea. Your body continuously discards excess magnesium
  through urine and feces.&nbsp;</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The U.S. Recommended
  Daily Allowance (RDA) for magnesium (Mg) is 350 mg (milligrams) per day for
  men and 280 mg/day for women. Most researchers studying hypomagnesemia (not
  enough Mg) are now convinced the RDA is insufficient to maintain an adequate
  amount of biologically available Mg for all body functions. Magnesium is
  necessary for normal functioning of over 300 enzymes that are present in your
  body. (Enzymes are chemical substances necessary for normal
  metabolism).&nbsp;</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>If you do not have enough
  available magnesium (magnesium deficiency), it slowly degrades your general
  health in a variety of ways. Magnesium deficiency is directly linked to heart
  disease. Moreover, because of the many ways your body employs magnesium, it
  plays a role in diabetes, cancer, stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis, asthma,
  kidney stones, migraine, leg and menstrual cramps, eclampsia, PMS, chronic
  fatigue syndrome, tetany, and a host of other problems.&nbsp;</span><span

  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Magnesium supplements are
  commonly available in 100 to 250 mg magnesium oxide (MgO) tablets or
  capsules. Its available without prescription at drug and health food stores
  everywhere. For women, try starting with 200 mg per day. Take the supplement
  with your largest meal. After 2 weeks increase your daily dose by a
  convenient increment, say, 100 or 125 mg. (Tablets are easily snapped in
  half). If frequent bowel movements or gas become a problem, reduce the amount
  and gradually increase again by spreading the dose over three meals.&nbsp;</span><span

  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Pre-menopausal women do
  not require as much Mg as men. 2.3 to 3.0 mg per pound of body weight per day
  is usually sufficient to maintain adequate magnesium in women. However, after
  menopause, women should increase the dose.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>

  <h3><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>More Magnesium Means
  Better Health<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>(OMNS October 23, 2007)
  Over two-thirds of all Americans do not consume the recommended daily intake
  of magnesium. Even more alarming are data from a study showing that 19% of
  Americans do not consume even one-half of the government's recommended daily
  intake of magnesium. (1) It is therefore not surprising that disability and
  death from heart attack and stroke are the nation&#8217;s leading killers.
  The National Institutes of Health says, &quot;Magnesium is needed for more
  than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle
  and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune
  system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar
  levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy
  metabolism and protein synthesis. There is an increased interest in the role
  of magnesium in preventing and managing disorders such as hypertension,
  cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.&quot; (2) Inadequate magnesium intake
  has also been associated with cancer, asthma, allergies, arthritis,
  osteoporosis, kidney stones, migraine headaches, menstrual cramps, PMS,
  tetany and cramps, and other conditions as well. (3) A list this long fully
  justifies increased concern about population-wide magnesium deficiency. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Foods high in magnesium
  include nuts, seeds, spinach, yogurt, wheat germ, and whole grains. Few
  Americans eat enough of these to ensure an adequate magnesium intake of 400
  mg/day. Magnesium supplements are commonly available as inexpensive magnesium
  oxide in 100 or 250 mg tablets. For better absorption, physicians often
  prefer amino acid chelated magnesium tablets or magnesium citrate. Magnesium
  is available without prescription at discount and health food stores
  everywhere. People typically start supplementation with 200mg per day and may
  slowly increase to 600mg per day, taken in divided doses, some with each
  meal. (4,5) Persons with kidney failure should not take supplemental
  magnesium unless directed to by their physician. Otherwise, magnesium
  toxicity is extremely rare. There have been no deaths from dietary
  supplementation with magnesium. (6) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
