Okay so I’ve been doing 50% raw for the last two months. I mostly eat raw in the form of smoothies, specifically green smoothies that have one green vegetable, any other sweet veg that is lying around, some ground flaxseed, berries, apple and whatever other fruit is lying around. I eat a shake or two every day and also eat some fruit and some cooked vegan food. I also take calcium supplements because my mother has osteoporosis.
My last two periods have been pain free! For all my adult life (20 years of menstruation) I’ve had knock-me-out blinding pain every month until now!
It’s a revelation. I also get about an hour less sleep a day. That’s kind of cool too. Anyway, thought I would share.

Right before I went raw I started having a lot of pain and my pain is gone as well.
Also right before going raw I found out I have PCOS but with Raw I’ve had a lot of success regarding my menstral cycle.
thanks meditating for the links!
i'm not 100& raw, but my eating habits have changed for the better (no precessed foods, white sugar,...) and I've experienced a drastic improvement concerning menstrual pain. My period is lighter and nearly painfree (NEVER been before) at 60% raw. I wonder if it's being raw, or something I eat now I haven't eaten before or even something I cut out...
