Thanks for detailing Kristine Nolfi's experience. I am happy for Kristine
self cure and menses experience (how old was she anyway?). It is always
inspirational to here such stories. Nevertheless, I stand by my comments.
The complete loss of menses can be an important sign metabolic imbalance
and stress. There may be counterexamples, but when a newbie asks for advice
on the matter it seems we should expose her to the many points of view
which may be useful to her. Ms. Nolfi's included.

Cheers,
