In the rest I can say I was and am struggling with many of the problems you faced. Also I am older than you, I am 26.
I wanted to ask you how many caps of Vitex do you intend to take and which brand. Also how are you taking Maca? And last but not least, can you give me some examples of the food you eat? For me, my main issue is if I don't eat meat or any of this and only vegetables I will evaporate. I am really skinny already:-(
Thank you and good luck in your journey!
Hi Vio! I know that feeling when you find someone who's problems relate to yours, ironically it's good. lol And thanks for the compliment, I won't tell "them" though 'cuz I don't want to spoil them or anything if you know what I mean.
So first things first.
I got my vitex online from a Bio-Organic/Eco friendly company in my country (Romania)and it's in tincture form. I chose tincture because first of all alcohol preserves all the good things from plants better than anything in my opinion. And second,but as important as the first reason is that it goes straight into your bloodstream, and you get to enjoy the benefits waaay faster than by taking capsules. Here are some examples of why I prefer tinctures:
"Alcohol:
1. Dissolves MOST, if NOT ALL, of the Constituents in MOST Herbs.
NOTE: There are a FEW Herbs such as Lobelia, that you would use 50 parts - Alcohol (100 proof - 50%) & 50 parts - Organic RAW Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar (i.e. - Bragg's 5%) to make a Tincture. And in the case of Dr. Schulze's SUPER TONIC, you would use 100 parts - Apple Cider Vinegar (5%) to make a Vinegar-based Tincture.
2. Makes the Mucous Membranes in the Mouth MORE Permeable, so that the Herbal Constituents can pass through and into the Bloodstream MORE EFFICIENTLY, BYPASSING your Digestive System!
3. INCREASES the Shelf Life of the Herbal Constituents up to 50 years or more!"
(here's the link :

Also, "
tinctures preserve the plant chemistry by locking the molecules of the plant in with the alcohol and as long as the cap is kept tight, these tinctures can be just as potent as they were when new for 100 years or more!
It's true that some nutrients don't get along with alcohol (for certain plants) and are absorbed in water or vinegar etc. that's why it's better to know for sure that the company knows what's doing and for those particular plants, many tinctures contain alcohol and water so that the tinctures contain the herb's full spectrum of active constituents. Same goes with teas, you might only get the nutrients that get along with water, but lose the ones that you get from alcohol+plant.

Ok I think I made myself clear.
I know I said I'll start taking Vitex on Monday but I figured it's best to wait until I get my period. Some people say that it's best to take it in your luteal phase some say it's good to take it everyday. But I'll just wait a few days.
As for Maca, I like to use the powder form. It should say on the package what dosage to take and how often. I like the powder one because I can put it in my juice along with the Vitex.
Now regarding my "diet" ( I don't like calling it diet ,it's just how everybody should eat in my opinion). Like I said, I like animals not for taste but for their awesomeness
To make it short, I eat a lot of vegetables, watercress is my favorite! (it contains more vit. C than oranges , more calcium than milk, and more iron than spinach) awesome, right? I eat fruits. I juice a lot, I think it's a fantastic way of enjoying fruits and vegetables, I also like to put black pepper in my juice, it may sound weird but I'm going to blow your mind with this one :

Piperine is a pungent compound found in the fruit of the plants in the Piperaceae family, the most famous member of which is Piper nigrum, black pepper.
Piperine is able to increase bioavilability of many substances through a number of mechanisms.
As an example, piperine can increase the bioavailability of the cancer, inflammation and infection fighter, curcumin, by twenty-fold.
In addition to its effects on bioavilability, piperine has many other actions in the body that include increasing beta-endorphins in the brain, acting as an anti-depressant, increasing serotonin production, boosting brain functioning, stimulating adrenal production, relieving pain and asthma symptoms, stimulating melanin production, decreasing ulcerations of the stomach, reducing stomach acid production, and coordinating digestive tract contractions. It is highly effective against colon cancer.
Those are just
some of the many benefits you can get from consuming black pepper. Not so weird now, is it?
Trust me , if you're willing to accept the fact that ALL health related problems exist because of poor diet it's ALL going to get better, and you'll find out more and more things that you can do, and foods you can eat so that your health issues disappear. It's up to you,really. Have allergies? Eat your way out of it. Have acne? Same solution. Kidney stones? You guessed it. It is all possible if you eat more RAW foods and more organic. I try to eat raw as often as possible. Stop using vegetable oils. Just give it a search on google and you'll be surprised at what you'll find out. The best oil to use is coconut oil (cold pressed!). Although I don't use it for cooking because I don't fry things, I put it on everything I can. It's sooooo good!! I wash my face with it, I put it on my hair..on my body. It's amazing. You can even brush your teeth with it.
If you say you're skinny, you could try eating more honey and walnuts. I heard from my mother that it helps if you want to gain weight. And I've also seen it being recommended on the internet. Again.. look it up. The only healthy way of putting on weight that I can think of is eating more nuts and seeds.
I think that's all.
ps: I'm posting my NBE program soon.
