Ugh. I started taking maca about a week ago. And then I stopped.
It's an horrendous diuretic! My kidney and bladder problems are bad enough as it is. I needed to go CONSTANTLY.
I also started getting a horrible rash from my PM spray.
So I took that as my body telling me to take a break this month. Time to cleanse
After stopping everything (inc. PM tablets, L-lysine) I no longer need to pee all the time
my rash as cleared up and I haven't lost any fullness yet but it's only been two days...
All that aside, I watched an interesting program on TV just half an hour ago. It said how scientific research shows soya causing problems in male sperm count and should possibly be avoided when trying to conceive - this is probably linked to the high amount? strength? of phyto-estrogens in soya which imitate female hormones and have some kind of effect on male hormones. There's always been a bit of a debate about how effective phyto-estrogens are for female NBE but this research made me think if just eating soya can have that kind of effect on men then that is more inidicitive of phyto-estrogens being beneficial for females too... Not that the effects us NBE-ers are aiming to achieve are directly linked or parallel to this study... Not sure where I'm going with this, I just thought it was interesting and I'm going to eat more soya.
