How wonderful to see another fan of Fertility, Cycles and Nutrition by Marilyn Shannon! That book was the first step really in my own efforts to improve my diet. I was concerned about my long history of disgustingly long periods. I never had a period shorter than 10-14 days long prior to reading that book! Often they would last 3 weeks. Then I would go months without periods at all. I was shocked to get pregnant so easily. I remember once when I was about 14 or 15 I actually had a period that lasted 48 days and made me anemic. That year, I spent the Christmas holidays confined to my bed. (Yes, I said a 48 day period, not a 48 day cycle!) My mom at the time said, "Well, that beats my record. I once had a 44 day period." How reassuring :-). Anyway, when I read the book I was still not having periods due to nursing my daughter. I know I can't prove the book's information had anything to do with it - it could be my body finally just grew up and figured out what to do. But I have always believed that it did help, mainly because things were no different for my cycles when they returned after my first child. I've had wonderful normal periods with very little PMS ever since! There's my endorsement! Regina Roig Lane, B.S., and official exam candidate (yeah!)
