A very rare, accurate explanation of the reproductive cycle within the context of the Terrain theory! Bravo!
Although I’m not in a position to judge, I am an engineer, passionate science researcher, and wellness “truth-seeker”, and it is rare that I see detailed explanations like this that align with my research and personal experiences.
This topic, the female reproductive cycle, has been my passion for the past 20 years. I’ve done the deep dive and the scales have fallen from my eyes.
My interest in this topic was fueled from having a mother who carried childhood trauma (molestation from family member), that resulted in psychological and physiological strain that manifested in ovarian cysts after giving birth to three boys. Her lifelong struggle with hormone imbalance and depression (they are directly linked) resulting from her unhealed trauma had a significant impact on me as a child and our entire family.
Instead of dealing with the insult to the terrain, the sick healthcare system put her on drugs for most of life. I see now that women in particular are abused by the conventional healthcare system. Like lambs being led to slaughter…
This article is particularly relevant to our family today in that we have a beautiful, calm, loving English cream golden retriever named Pearl who is un-spayed at 18 months. She’s had only one cycle.
My wife has read about a UC Davis study on Golden Retrievers and they found spaying was not a good choice for Goldens…
Our plan was to have her spayed after 1-2 cycles.
It seems the best course of action is to find an enlightened veterinarian.
Over the years I have developed my own “Wellness Creed” and Healthcare Axioms to protect myself and my family…I share it here to help others…
The Wellness Creed
“True healing is hidden where the system shows indifference; false healing is sold where the system shows obsession.
Trust built on authority, comfort built on dependency, and action driven by fear reveal a system designed not to heal, but to harvest.
I seek truth beyond what is praised, healing beyond what is sold, and freedom beyond the cycle of managed sickness.”
Axiom 1: The System’s Signal Axiom
“What the system ignores points to true healing; what it promotes points to profitable dependence.”
Axiom 2: The Long Con Axiom
“Any system that builds trust on authority, sustains comfort through dependency, and reinforces action through fear operates not to heal, but to harvest.”
Axiom 3: The Inversion Axiom
“In corrupted systems, truth is hidden in what is dismissed, and deception is draped in what is praised.”
Thanks for the share. I have a 13 month old female Doberman and our plan was to let her have one or two cycles before spaying. I now have two things to investigate.
Would she benefit from having a litter?
Should I seek out a vet that does the ovary sparing spay?
Thank you so much for taking the time to produce this article . I've read it with tears as I sit beside my beloved springer spaniel Jess ,it has finally helped me understand the questions I asked you .
I thank you from the bottom of my heart .
God bless you and thank you for the amazing work you produce ,
That might explain what is going on with me, since I've never had children (but I'm only guessing). At 61 I started bleeding again. Went on for nearly two years. Then my belly grew to beach ball size and I had terrible pain in my liver. I stopped all vitamins and supplements, everything I could think of. In the past, I would have seen a doctor but now I no longer trust them (except for trauma care), plus too many bad experiences with them. I'm sure had I gone the allopathic route, they would have recommended surgery, chemo, radiation... The whole nine yards and i would have been six feet under by now.
Currently, I'm 63 and the bleeding stopped about 6 months ago and I'm no longer in any pain. But the beach ball belly persists, although it has gone down some. Hopefully, it will continue to.
The Covid clot shots were well known ( except to government bodies) to mess with women's periods and cycles. Postmenopausal bleeds are a red flag, "Brendan is not Your Bro" above is experienced in this.
I tried to be purist for diagnosis but occasionally resorted to the "if the treatment worked I must have guessed right" strategy. That eliminates the "she would have got better on her own" option! See Rumsfeld- "We know what we know..."
Being quite innocent of veterinary medicine I just now had to look up a description of spaying, because I did not know whether it corresponded to a TAH or TAH-BSO. Now I know.
Some decades ago I met a woman who was scheduled for hysterectomy at about age 45. We discussed options as far as I could manage, and before I was aware that much of ovarian Ca was actually of tubal origin (two of my classmates were prominent in that research.) I suggested that retention of her ovaries was a reasonable approach. A few years later when I returned again as locum to her doctor she thanked me effusively for supporting her choice. I still don't know, a couple of decades later, if my advice has exposed her to increased risk of ovarian Ca (of course it has, applying the Halsted logic!) but I think her health benefitted. As a rookie I also didn't understand "adenomyosis" as the diagnosis on many hysterectomies at which I assisted.
The sequence addressed here by Unbekoming looks very applicable to understanding human female reproductive medicine. Social and societal considerations constrain pregnancies in the most accomplished women to very late in their potential reproductive years. Recall that the Zefferelli "Romeo and Juliet" has been sanctioned for portraying lovers younger than eighteen!
A most informative article and I wondered about the same thing, only in humans of both sexes. I know this much: in both women and men, whether tubal ligation or vasectomy, you are cutting off the natural discharge of one-half the genetic material required to manufacture another human. Don't tell me this does not affect the denatured person's health. In the case of the female, it does not matter if she has had children or not; you are doing something un-natural. All for what - constant sexual availability.
People or animals, male or female, this or that body part - it should not be about any group specifically. You can't go around cutting into the body without there being some result. Even worse is organ transplantation. This is a fallen world and we are a fallen species.
Thank you for this. Two comments. As a vet of >30 years (now working with Tom Cowan) I have seen many female spayed dogs develop urinary incontinence, often within ~1-2 years of spay. This is debilitating, exhausting for pet owners (laundry daily), and can lead to skin infections. No one warns of this. There is also a condition called Stump Pyometra that occurs when the spay is not complete. No one warns of this. And lastly, colleagues in Sweden (where they do not spay or neuter dogs) do not see an increase in pyometra, in fact they report that they see many more cases when they move to the US.
Additionally, homeopathy can be used to attempt to avert or treat pyometra.
Again, thank you for what you are doing, very helpful.
A welcome comment, Maureen. Here is my summing up of this subject. There's 3 options, at least in N. Amerika:
**Spay/castrate (mutilation which the animal unhappily senses in a way they can't express to you), which makes the animal (dogs in this discussion) a denatured being, recast into something its owner wants, not what it was ever meant to be.
**Don't spay, and let your dog get seriously ill and die some years later unless the animal is closely watched. (But read Maureen's comment, above.)
**Third option: No more pet dogs (& most other animals) unless they can be themselves, i.e., no alterations of any kind. We have to try and make a satisfying, fulfilling life of our own without this slave-like emotional bond with dogs, "fixed" or not. We must ask: why do people want a dog doting over them - not enough human love in their lives? That is the way it looks to me, based on my observations and reading. Those dogs are not real anymore, they are nonhuman androids, not just from spaying & castrating, but also years of breeding to become that way. Maybe a solution would be lifelike robotic dogs who'll fawn over their owners, protect them, never get sick, etc.
I have 2 intact female dogs. One is 9 years old, and the other is 7 years old. The older one we bred at 2.5 years old. The other (her daughter) CURRENTLY has open pyometra. I knew that the risk of pyometra increases with every heat cycle which does not result in whelping. But I was delaying their spays as long as possible, hoping to compromise with a partial spay (ovary-sparing hysterectomy).
.
My first sign of hormone imbalance in my dog with pyometra (my un-bred female) was a very severe one: SEIZURES. She has had eight (8) now, and all of them were before, mostly during, and a couple after her heat cycle. If I would have known that this cycle she would have seizures and pyometra, I would have bred or spayed her last year. Hindsight is 20/20. Now I'm dealing with the severe consequences.
.
Thankfully I've been expecting this and watching them DILIGENTLY after every heat cycle. Upon first sign of discharge, I started throwing the natural remedy book at it. I believe this and prayer 🙏🏼 have saved her life. She went downhill fast, but then quickly got better as her body healed. Now we're in limbo as we wait for the discharge to finish and/or for her cervix to close. Still doing ALL the natural remedies 3x a day going on a month now. Please research this deadly disease before you decide to spay or not spay your dog. There are major pros and cons to both sides of this argument, as outlined in the article.
Chinese Medicine has an interesting view of seizures. In Four Paws, Five Directions, Dr. Cheryl Schwartz attributes them to liver heat going in the wrong direction.
I have 2 intact bitches, and I myself have never been pregnant and am approaching menopause. In human females, the uterus empties (most of?) its contents every time there is no baby. In canines, this does not necessarily happen. The heat cycle bleeding that dogs experience is not a "period", it is actually coming from the walls of the vagina. As a carrier for all the lovely smells the male dogs are searching for.
.
Therefore without whelping (having puppies) and contracting of the uterus, a canine will never truly empty her uterine contents. Also, the canine uterus has 2 horns, and is a Y shape. It sits horizontal to the ground, so drainage is not as easy as it is with us human women.
It sounds to me, that a female dog having her pups is quite hard on her, like it is for us. Although I realize it’s not so simplistic, I get your point.
Your additional recommendations are well noted. Thank you.
George MacLeod was a Scottish homeopathic vet, often looked upon as the father of converting vets to homeopathy. His book on dogs list some homeopathic remedies that have been successful in treating this condition. However, that wouldn't mean it would be a DIY condition. Skill is needed.
He converted completely to homeopathy after he found it worked so well in his own health.
I am currently using homeopathy as *part* of the home treatment for my dog who currently has OPEN pyometra. Following the pre-written remedies found online, from a veterinary homeopath. I believe homeopathy was/is key to her surviving this. I would never try home remedies for closed pyometra - that is emergency surgery only. But for open pyometra it might delay or prevent emergency spay. I will get her spayed as soon as this is healed 🙏🏼
This comes just as Im trying to decide when to let my 18-mo old female lab breed. We intended one litter, but now I am wondering if at least a couple would be better for her.
We also intended to have viable loving families ready for each of the pups when they come along. 11 families are easier to find then 22 though so I wonder about how many litters is reasonable to have.
We’re definitely not ready for pups around here, would like to wait until she’s between 3-4 years old fr her first litter. But, is that too long to wait I wonder?
As a dog breeder, I can say from experience that breeding is VERY hard on a female dog's body. It took my 2.5 year old dog and aged her to 3x that! She started turning grey around her eyes WHILE nursing her puppies. And she has lost most of her energy ever since then.
.
I retained one of her puppies. And I spent months preparing for her breeding and pregnancy, and months training and socializing the puppies. It was literally a full time job when done right. I had time for nothing else, until the last one went home.
.
But it's actually way more difficult than most people realize to try and sell puppies. Even if they're purebred. Especially if you are a "backyard" breeder without 'paperwork'. Most people want proof of clean health records and good genetics.
.
At bare minimum get tests for the most common "genetic" diseases for your breed. And insist on breeding her to a male with the same testing. But be forewarned, she might not be the same dog after breeding. And personally I would never breed my dog more than twice in her whole life.
"Lifelong nuns, like all women who never have children, are at an increased risk of dying from breast, ovarian and uterine cancers, compared with mothers. A woman's risk of getting these cancers increases with the number of menstrual cycles she experiences." -from the internet
As much as this is likely to be true, I hope this is not true. Because my husband and I can not have children. I'm approaching menopause (earlier than most women), and the end of my reproductive life.
How does terrain toxicity from vaccines, kibble, poor nutrition enter into this discussion. One of the Scandinavian countries, I think Norway, it’s illegal to neuter dogs unless it’s for medical reasons. Is there research on this regarding how many of these in tact females developed Pyometra?
This would be excellent research to discover. My dogs have been on raw food most of their lives. Kept at a perfect body weight. Fresh air and exercise multiple times a day. They have received almost zero vaccines (only 2 when they were puppies). We also have a non-toxic and low stress home. One of my intact females has developed pyometra, the other has not. If I were to start over, I would give them ZERO vaccines and raw food 100% of their lives.
.
I do think part of the cause of pyometra was the time they were on "super premium" kibble, when I lost my job from not wearing the mask. But over time without breeding, their risk definitely increases, no matter what the external influencers are.
I have followed the same protocol. My three girls are all raw fed with veggies, only one rabies each. Now it would be no vaccines. They haven’t had any any vaccines under one yea. They are all agility dogs and get exercise the other days of the week on my four acres. I would like to see how these things impact the incidence of Pyometra.
Fascinating. Makes a lot of sense. Can’t help but wonder how this same thought pattern translates to human females.
I had exactly the same question!
My first thoughts as well, Patricia.
While the symptoms and disease are different, the concepts described absolutely apply to women…
Breast cancer
Uterine Cancer
Ovarian Cysts
Fibroids
Endometriosis
Mammograms
“Hysterectomies”
“Birth Control”
The list is long…
Read about my one personal example below.
yikes

if you tolerate dairy, maybe try some kefir. amazing results on multiple bodily systems.
I currently drink butter milk, which is very similar to a kefir I've tried. Thank you for the recommendation. I appreciate it.
What’s it known as?
Pyometrium . A patient had hematometra from cervical stenosis this week .
So I will share a story.
Being quite innocent of veterinary medicine I just now had to look up a description of spaying, because I did not know whether it corresponded to a TAH or TAH-BSO. Now I know.
Some decades ago I met a woman who was scheduled for hysterectomy at about age 45.

Ovary saving spay is the best scenario but they never give you that option you have to specifically ask for it and find a vet willing to do it
Thank you for this. Two comments. As a vet of >30 years (now working with Tom Cowan) I have seen many female spayed dogs develop urinary incontinence, often within ~1-2 years of spay.
