For many years PMS has been very real for me. After switching to raw foods, it completely disappeared though. Not only did my very heavy PMS symptoms disappear - the extreme pain and extreme bleeding during my periods disappeared as well.
I don't think I suddenly felt less pressure to be a superwoman when I went raw.
The most interesting fact is that I went back to cooked food a few weeks ago. Guess what I got? Heavy period, heavy bleeding, and heavy PMS before that. For the first time since the beginning of my raw journey.
If you ask me, PMS is a physical thing. It's easier to talk about psychological factors than to address the real causes: the crap we ingest.
