Today we're going to talk about dysperrenia, painful intercourse. This is a major situation for women,

0:07.3

sometimes even inserting tampons, getting a pelvic exam, horse riding, sitting too long. All of

0:14.5

these activities can be uncomfortable. Now, what I think is usually behind this condition is

0:21.0

oxalates. Oxalates can form crystals that can look like razor blades. Sometimes you can get

0:29.6

oxalate stones. As kiddie stones, sometimes they end up in the joints. Sometimes they can

0:35.6

create like gout-like symptoms. It's called pseudogout where oxalate crystals can go into the big toe,

0:42.1

but they can also end up in other tissues too, like the vaginal area. And sometimes if you

0:47.5

present this area to your doctor, they might go, oh, well, there's no scientific studies that

0:52.4

relate to that. That's just you're wasting your time. But my thought is, first of all, just because

0:56.5

something doesn't have a study doesn't mean it's not effective. I mean, you're just going to wait

1:02.9

for the scientific community to do a study on something that there's no profit on. You can't

1:08.0

necessarily make any money on it by having a food recommendation, by avoiding certain things.

1:13.6

So just because a study hasn't been done doesn't mean that what I'm going to present is not true.

1:18.4

I mean, there's a lot of women out there that have been very successful just by making a simple

1:23.2

dietary change with maybe a few supplement recommendations. So what do you have to lose, right?

1:28.7

So these are the foods that I'm going to recommend that you avoid for a while to see if

1:34.3

oxalates are involved. Spinach, beets, grains, beans, potatoes, almonds, peanuts, kiwi, wheat,

1:44.0

germ, soy, xalitol, which is a common sweetener that a lot of people use on the ketogenic diet. Black

1:51.5

berries, chocolate, eggplant, black pepper, Swiss chard, rhubarb, figs, and the spice

2:01.0

turmeric. All of these foods have high levels of oxalates, okay? Now realize that the oxalates come

2:08.2

from your food, but your body can also make oxalates. And they do form with calcium to make these

2:14.4

crystals. So let's say for example, you accidentally had some spinach or you had, I don't know,
