I sometimes completely forget what pain women go through menstruation every month I personally wouldn't like going through than pain even for a week.

Now imagine those with Endometriosis, which literally makes the pain unbearable. I've experienced it myself and sometimes the painkillers don't even work.

Us too, if we had the opportunity to choose, but we have just to cope whit it whit a little if no help by the rest of the world...in my experience i start feeling tired and nervous a couple of days before menstruation, and the first day I hardly move from my bed because of the pain and I'm as tired as I wasn't sleeping from a week, and I couldn't eat anything out of some broth and bread for a whole day

My partner Muriel died from bowel cancer, septicemia AND a FROZEN PELVIS. Isn't that Endometriosis ? She refused hospital treatment for fear and I nursed her for 18 solid months but her tummy became absolutely huge so isn't a frozen pelvis quite rare ? Doctors in York hospital were shocked when they saw her in 97@@TheParakeet1999
Brilliant piece - really fascinating!

Moon synching is a thing it’s just we don’t live by the moon like we used to. If we lived more in line with nature we would sync with the moon. So of course tests wouldn’t work to show this

exactly, humans are so disconnected from nature in present times

Thank you for your comment. I was immediately put off by the video because it started with negating our connection to the moon which is a huge element playing an important part in the cycles of all living things. It is interesting to me that they always start from a place of trying to disprove such connections rather than trying to accept the burden of proof in demonstrating that there is no sync. That being said, there is no replacement for lived experience and after having a period for 3 decades I believe I am qualified to make an educated conclusion about this myself.

while there might be some relationship, it is very unlikely to be a factor. otherwise every women would be having their period exactly at the same time in the lunar calendar and such a thing would easily be noticed. 4billion pms incidents at exact same time would be very noticeable. it is as absurd as astrology. whilst gravity is real, astrology is not. it may be affecting women in other ways, maybe in severity or hormones etc, but it is very likely hidden and obscure if so.
The pretty smile on your face and related facial expressions throughout the video made this informative content more understandable. Keep smiling sisi

I got puzzled that during the ovulation the immune system is suppressed to a certain extent and inflammation denotes strong immune system, those symptoms usually linked to inflammation like headache, tiredness etc. still could appear, sounds like a conflict in a sort of way🧐
good job

Thank you!
100% agree on the inflammation
The first “fact” completely turned me off. My cycles have synced to the New Moon like clockwork for close to a year. It’s something that SO many women experience and share and talk about and we feel extremely in touch with nature and with the natural cycles of the moon in turn (something so sacred to indigenous people that you Brit colonizers wouldn’t know much about I guess 🤡) I don’t buy into this overly rigid western model you’re proposing and frankly it seems ignorant to the lived experiences of women for generations at best, and disempowering and gaslighting to women at worst.
If men had periods they will make sure there in intensive care lol ❤😊
Exactly, just a theory
Hoping for new information. Well presented though.😊

Exactly ! Watched the video, only remembered the animation, portrait, hysteria and some old picture. Nothing new content.
Please translate to Hindi Urdu And Mandarin Also.
I am glad that as a male my hardware isn't as complex.

@googlekonto I highly suspect if you read the manual that it came with you'd actually be quite blown away at the scientific technicalities of your hardware !!
Lol moon synching
Half of the human population: girls and women.
Half of the worlds population would be far more correctly called women. It takes so long for her to use the word and she does seem to avoid it when someone studying such a subject would be far better off if they could at least come to terms with the scientic term for people who menstruate - women. They are not half the worlds population, they are women.
