Having been inspired by this thread to learn more I read this:

Very interesting it is too, really. It makes me think that women are right to complain bitterly about their periods because (according to the above article) they are not natural. It’s a haemorrhage, something that is not particularly good for you.
There is hope for Gillian and all womankind, but it’s gonna take some determination; one must eat “more fresh, raw foods than cooked or processed foods”, and ensure “that animal product foods are eliminated altogether, along with salt, sugar, alcohol, refined fats and oils, most condiments, artificial additives and stimulating beverages”.
In other words, the article claims, it’s the modern diet that is responsible, more proof being offered with the fact that domesticated animals have something similar to the female period, whereas their wild counterparts do not.
I’d still be a woman for a day though, no matter how poorly I was.
