DESCRIPTION: Women suffering with dysmenorrhea who switch to a plant-based diet experience significant relief in menstrual pain intensity and duration.

I've touched on this body of work briefly in Plant-Based Diets For Breast Pain (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-based-diets-for-breast-pain/). Plants that may be especially helpful include flax seeds (Flax Seeds For Breast Pain, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flax-seeds-for-breast-pain/) and the spice saffron (Saffron for the Treatment of PMS, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/saffron-for-the-treatment-of-pms/ and Wake Up and Smell the Saffron, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/wake-up-and-smell-the-saffron/).

For those unfamiliar with the work of Drs. Ornish and Esselstyn, see, for example, my video Our Number One Killer Can Be Stopped (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/our-number-one-killer-can-be-stopped/) or my blog Heart Disease: There Is A Cure (http://nutritionfacts.org/2011/10/14/heart-disease-there-is-a-cure/).

The vitamin D results were astonishing. See my series justifying my vitamin D recommendations starting with Vitamin D Recommendations Changed (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vitamin-d-recommendations-changed/) and ending with Resolving the Vitamin D-Bate (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/resolving-the-vitamin-d-bate/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-treatment-for-painful-menstrual-periods/ and he'll try to answer it!
