I am wondering about the relation between fenugreek and cortisol.

Also, her email seems to indicate that her colleague's patient is another female with POIS, which is interesting.

i dont know if you guys notices this or not but in dr waldingers paper he mentioned oxytocin can impair cognitive skills when it is over produce and also it is one of the hormones produced after orgasm.
My diet hasn't seemed to affect my ability to stay chaste. But I eat rather healthy so if Gandhi was right then perhaps that makes chastity easier. It kind of makes sense to me in a psychological sense: lust could be a shapeshifter, morphing from food to sex. Perhaps there is also a biological reason why refusing excessive delicacies from the supermarket might reduce lust.

However I can say this is a lot less true with the age.
Heres a government sponsored website that shows studies on prolactin and post-orgasmic.Also check out the links on the right sidehttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=16095799&log$=activity
I just had FIFTEEN TUBES of blood drawn a couple days ago, to test (among a long list of other things)all the hormones known to human kind. [] The hormone tests will be done at some special labs and the results won't be back for several weeks. It will be interesting to see what new insights, if any, will come of this.
Thanks Girlwind to share this with us. I really hope something will come out of this. I know you're more concerned with CFS, but were these tests done in the middle of a pois episode ?
Girlwind-- Is your assumption that your Cortisol Levels need to come down?
However, oxytocine has been suggested tonegatively interfere with cognition (Geenen et al., 1988).
Hi Steve! Interesting theray. I'll by it because I can't shoot it down - it makes good sense. The only red flag is that women create lots of prolactin when breast feeding. Hmm, are there any women here that have/do breast feed - do you get POIS when breast feeding? I'd hate to just point at Girlwind but I think she's the only woman here.Also Girlwind your tests are amazing. From my understanding that the most comprehensive diversity of testing in thread history. I can't wait to see results.Between you and Demo my anixiety levels peaking - peaking in a good way.
A few studies in males and females have shown that during and afterorgasm prolactine and oxytocin concentrations are increased (Carmichael,Warburton, Dixen, & Davidson, 1994; Exton et al., 2000).
