Dear Dr. Brooks,
                                Some years past we conducted some rather
extensive evaluations (on a series of volunteers) involving protocols for
dysmenorrhea........determining the most effective substance, BY FAR, to be
wild amaranth seed (prepared as a steeped tea).  A serendipitous
side-benefit manifested......it was a pronounced relief to high-intensity
menstrual cramping.  The positive response was in excess of 90%.....with
complete suppression in about 75% of cases.  The particular plants we
utilized were amaranthus hypochrodriacus and amaranthium blitum.  These
plants are found in abundance in the road-side ditches thoughout all of the
moist regions of temperate North America (30" if rainfall annually).
Amaranth is very prolific, producing a splendid crop of seed yearly.  It is
most abundant throughout most of the United States....especially east of the
Rocky Mountains.
                            As an ancillary note;  the amaranth tea proved
to be an ASTONISHINGLY rapid and effective control for dysmenorrhea.  Two
cases: involving my own wife, and that of a close alleopathic physician
friend of mine....proved to be 100% responsive to this
protocol------following a 10 year history of emergency treatment
(resplendent with blood transfusions for my wife).  The results of this
episode wrote FINITUS to my confidence in alleopathic medicine for all but
major trauma.
                            I hope these comments are of value.
                                                    Sincerely,  Brooks
Bradley.
p.s.  The procedure involved placing about 2 tablespoons of wild amaranth
seed  in one cup of boiling water and steeping for a minimum of 6 minutes
(10 min is better).  The volunteer consumes 1/2 cup together with one cup of
plain water.  One hour later the second half-cup is consumed in similar
fashion.  Two hours later the entire protocol may be repeated.  No more
than  three protocols were administered  within an 8 hour period.  The
maximum number of procedures required for suppression of excessive bleeding
was 4.  In no cases, were we unable to evince a positive response.......and
acceptable control----this from 41 volunteers (ages 30 to 48) over a four
month period.  NO traditional pharmaceutical (prescription or
over-the-counter) we evaluated, gave satisfactory results in the more severe
cases.  Side effects were a problem in most of the prescription
substances.......there were NO detectable side effects from ANY volunteer
subjects receiving the amaranth tea.
