this is a very rare old book.The Female PuzzleBy VD (vdbooks) on June 3, 2012Menstruation. My period. The curse. My friend. It’s a river wrapped in a menses inside a vagina, as taboo as menopause, as elusive as a hymen, and with clues as spotty as a white slacks on the wrong day. It’s the mystery of the 21st century and beyond and will clot our understanding of the human puzzle until our curiosity is bled dry. The mystery to end all mysteries. Menstruation.Practical KnowledgeBy University Student on May 20, 2013Excellent source for understanding the effects of mucus on the body and great study on how avoiding mucus forming food can cure disease.Really fascinating book.By SparklingCherryBlossomHearts on April 9, 2013As a female myself, I think this book is just wonderful. It provides many anecdotal examples (eg. references from ancient religions, ancient societies, and personal accounts) of why menstruation is a disease, and after reading everything, I honestly have to agree with the author’s conclusion. The book’s format is a little strange; the words look like they’ve been written by a typewriter, rather than being in the standard modern format. But, seeing as how the original publishing year was 1960, that’s understandable to me. The most ironic thing about this book is that despite the fact that the author is male, he seems to actually be a feminist, and claims throughout the book that both physically and mentally women are the superior gender, which is precisely why it’s so terrible they’re held back by bleeding from menstruation. He also uses his personal findings to conclude that menstruation bleeding is a disease and the result of having an acidic body. He also claims that he’s treated thousands of and several generations of women and cured them of the bleeding. I guess this book and it’s concepts would probably sound a little strange to people, but I honestly recommend reading this. Despite the unfamiliarity of the concept of women not bleeding but still being fertile and having children (which he provides examples of as well), I really found this book to be fascinating.
