Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Beth My wife had the same problem. She had 2 major surgeries to remove huge cysts. The endomerial deposits that remain are now reducing (even before starting the protocol) because of the other things she did:- Diet change - eliminate gluten and dairy Immune system repair - Biobran (MGN3) did a great job System maintenance - IV vitamin and mineral supplementation (every 2 weeks) - with vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, slenium and others Daily Oral vitamins, minerals and probiotics Calcium D-Glucarate is a great way to get rid of excess oestrogen. Natural progesterone cream - this is a must Dental amalgam replacement and mercury chellation with NDF She has been free of any new problems for 2 years now, but still gets a scan every 6 months. Be very, vey careful to use the correct protocaol for amalgam removal! The doctor who did the last scan couldn't believe that her endometrial deposits were shrinking! Best of luck.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Jill, I have had endometriosis for many many years. I have had 4 surgeries for it. I have also been trying to have children for over 5 years with no luck because of it! I had the endometriosis well before I got my implants though. My pain does seem to be better than it was pre-explant though, so I hope it is a good sign and it continues. Hugs, Lynn > > Does anybody know if it is related to breast implants.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with endometriosis. As I recall, limiting carbs was deemed very effective to reverse it... right? What else? And is there any handy scientific literature I can point my friend to by way of proof? TIA, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with upping fats and limiting carbs to loose weight, Vitex (chastetree berry) and red raspberry leaf are two herbs that will help. Also, look into progesterone cream to assist in symptom relief while you work to balance the hormones.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I had endometriosis. Thankfully, it is long gone. Endometriosis is just as, if not more painful than childbirth itself. Getting a diagnosis was so much relief because for years I was told " it couldn't be that bad " , " stop blowing things out of proportion " , " you just don't have any pain tolerance " . (Okay, I just have to laugh at that last one now that I know childbirth is on the same level.) Too bad that conventional medicine did nothing for me. I'm really sorry to hear your friend has it. IMHO, endometriosis is caused by acidity... specifically excessive lactic acid causing a drop in cellular O2 as a byproduct of CO2 deficiency. (Or would it be clearer to say CO2 deficiency induced lactic acid buildup and the resultant inability to exchange O2 into the cells?) Now, excess estrogen can do this but so can anything which compromises energy processing: B vitamin deficiency, iron deficiency, inproper breathing (especially when exercising, but also when you're concentrating - some people hold their breath...), mercury poisoning (I think arsenic and several others as well), etc. It is one of those big picture things. It could be one thing or many things and you have to treat them all to get it better. For me it was " all of the above " . I never did well ketogenic or what is typically considered low carb. Actually, once I fixed the metabolic issue, I found I strongly benefit from a moderate carb diet (I wouldn't really call it high carb because I still eat under the USDA reccomendations). -Lana On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 5:05 PM, Idol <paul.idol@...> wrote: > A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with endometriosis.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yup, probably from me. I wouldn't necessarily call it straightforward, but it is indeed treatable via diet and lifestyle. I would not reccomend low carb to help if she's at a good weight. Although, in terms of bleeding off excess acidity, a temporary low salicylate diet may help. It won't fix the issue but it can help start the process. I think it took all of a week for my body to dump the excess acidity after stopping consumption of salicylate foods. (The problem there is prostagladin inhibition, some prostaglandins are actually good as they mediate inflammation - adding GLA to her diet will also help with the inflammation.) Nowadays I regularly eat significant amounts of salicylate so we're talking about a symptom not a cause here - once that excess acidity is bled off, that's about as useful as the diet will be. OTOH, I haven't touched aspirin or NSAIDs since so that may have something to do with it. The only " negative " I can think of to a short term low salicylate diet for endo is the inability to use aspirin or NSAIDs to medicate the pain - something that she should get away from (assuming she does use them) regardless of whether she chooses to do a low salicylate diet. Some of my worst cycles were when I had switched pain meds to Mg Salicylate (Doan's) - it works so well... at least while there is still enough in your blood stream... then the pain comes back much, much worse. After I discovered this caevat I soon realized all salicylate/NSAID painkillers work like this (pain comes back worse than before taking the dose). Plain old regular strength Tylenol and only if she must - but I'd reccomend trying a combo of Mg Citrate, Thiamin cocarboxylase (or HCL) and Niacinamide first as it works better anyway. In the long run a WAP style diet, rich in saturated fats, broth (glycine) and shellfish (taurine) will help speed detox and with the regular inclusion of liver, should cover the possible A, iron and B vitamin deficiencies. Add in some yoga and that should cover all of the energy processing issues I listed in my prior post. It did also dawn on me that electrolytes, especially potassium and magnesium should be mentioned. A diet rich in milk (cow or coconut) will cover the potassium (as well as calcium) and magnesium would probably be best attained from epsom salts. Usually I'd reccomend nigari salts, but in the case of possible estrogen dominance Mg sulfate is more appropriate. In terms of oral Mg, I reccomend citrate due to the fact it is known for buffering but there is a bowel tolerance for that so if additional citrate is required after that something like Alkaseltzer gold will help (sodium/potassium bicarbonate and citric acid make sodium/potassium citrate - gold is the aspirin free version, if she can't find that look for Picot which is sodium only). -Lana > I know endometriosis has been discussed here before; I had the > impression it's fairly straightforward to treat dietarily... am I > misremembering, or is that only true in the case of overweight women, > or is there some other factor I'm forgetting or neglecting? > > - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I probably should have mentioned to do this gradually! I stopped abrubtly and was very strict with their exclusion and the sudden decrease in my respiration rate was very alarming. I went from 28 bpm to as low as 10. Breathing is a good indicator of overall acidity. -Lana On Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 6:54 PM, Lana Gibbons <lana.m.gibbons@...>wrote: > I think it took all of a week for my body to dump the excess acidity after > stopping consumption of salicylate foods. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 > Hmm, the friend in question isn't in the least bit overweight, > though. So would cutting carbs therefore not be indicated after all? In my experience- I'm 105 pounds now and still estrogen dominant- chelation is helping that, as mine appears to be heavy-metal based. But my symptoms lessened greatly when I lost weight. I found that I can continue to low(er)-carb but not to the point of weight loss to continue in the symptom relief. I don't need to loose any more weight.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 I used to have endometriosis, ovarian cysts etc. Following a WAPF- style diet and especially taking high-vitamin CLO and getting off sugar should really help your mom. The Endometriosis Association advocates following a no-sugar, anti-yeast, immune-building diet to fight endo. I also found GLA capsules helpful for menstrual cramps. Not that you asked! But I hope this is helpful.
