Doctors Told Me My Painful Periods Were Normal—Then a Surprising Discovery Changed Everything

Then, a chance encounter changed everything.

I was at a friend's baby shower, feeling miserable as usual. My period had started unexpectedly the day before, and I was fighting through cramps with a forced smile.

I excused myself to the bathroom, desperate for a moment alone.

As I was searching through my purse for painkillers, another woman walked in. Her name was Rebecca, a friend of the mom-to-be whom I'd met a few times before.

She noticed me wincing as I straightened up.

"Period pain?" she asked sympathetically.

I nodded, embarrassed but also relieved that someone understood.

"I used to get crippling cramps too," she said. "And my cycle was all over the place. Some months I'd have two periods, then I'd skip one entirely."

I looked at her with new interest. "Used to? What changed?"

Rebecca smiled. "It sounds a little strange, but I started taking this supplement with beef organs—you know, like liver, ovary, uterus—and it completely transformed my hormones."

I must have looked skeptical because she quickly added, "I know it sounds weird, but there's actually science behind it. Our ancestors used to eat these nutrient-dense organs regularly.

They contain specific compounds that directly support our own organs."

She explained how modern diets lack these nutrients, leaving many women with hormonal systems that aren't properly supported.

"Like supports like," she said. "Ovary supports ovary, uterus supports uterus. It's an ancestral principle that modern medicine has forgotten."

I'd never heard anything like this before, but I was intrigued—and desperate enough to try almost anything.

"What's this supplement called?" I asked.
