Breaking Free from Debilitating Periods: A Case Study in Healing After COVID Vaccine-Induced Changes

Imagine going about your life, managing your health as best you can, when suddenly everything changes. Your body, once predictable, starts acting like a stranger. Your periods, once manageable, become a monthly nightmare—so heavy that no pad, no precaution, could stop the relentless bleeding. Stained clothes, ruined sheets, avoiding sitting for too long in one place out of fear.

This was the reality for a 47-year-old woman who came to me after her menstrual cycles spiraled out of control following her COVID vaccine and booster shot—a change she never saw coming.

At first, her periods disappeared for four months after the booster. When they returned, they came back with a vengeance—eight to ten days long, heavy clotting, and flooding through multiple pads.

Her family doctor suspected a miscarriage, but tests ruled that out. An ultrasound suggested a uterine polyp. Surgery was recommended but postponed when a follow-up ultrasound six months later showed no concerning findings.

For the next year and a half, she was left in limbo, told to “wait and see” unless things got worse.

A Different Approach: Supporting the Body, Not Silencing It

When she came to me, she was exhausted and desperate for answers. Her body was trying to clear something, but it wasn’t able to do so effectively.

I started her on a proteolytic enzyme protocol—a natural tool for breaking down proteins, clots, and excess fibrin.

The Turning Point: A Healing Crisis Before Breakthrough

One month into the protocol, her period arrived with intense bleeding and three large clots, each the size of her palm.

But after they passed, something changed.

Her next period was completely different: shorter (3-4 days), no excessive bleeding, minimal cramping, and no more flooding.

After three years of suffering, her body had finally reset.

Why This Matters: The Silent Impact of Unresolved Imbalances

  • The body is always working to heal—it just needs the right support.
  • Suppressing symptoms doesn’t solve the root cause—it only delays the inevitable.
  • Healing isn’t always linear—it can get worse before it gets better.

Are You Living in a Silent Struggle?

If you’ve been told your symptoms are “normal” but you know deep down something isn’t right, if you’ve gone through tests and appointments only to be left with uncertainty, and if you’re desperate for a way forward that doesn’t involve more band-aid solutions…

You don’t have to stay stuck in the cycle of suffering.

If this resonates with you, let’s talk. You deserve answers. You deserve solutions. You deserve to feel like yourself again.
