We have helped so many people with endometrosis....to help it you definitely have to make some changes in your life...if you don't you will never overcome it naturally. the biggest culprit is diet and stress....examine your diet are you eating foods that make your body stronge and healthy or do you eat more foods that have a negative effect on your health?

that being said, use the "Online Health Quizzes" to determine how well your body is functioning...because when the body is NOT functioning properly...you set yourself up for many and various health complications including endometrosis.

Yeast overgrowth is a huge contibutor to the problem, but before you do any yeast cleanse you need to make sure your adrenals glands are doing well, otherwise you may wipe out a lot of the yeast overgrowth, but if your immune system, which gets a lot of help from your diet and adrenal glands....isn't up to normal strength...the bad bacteria (yeast overgrowth) will simply reinvade your body once you stop doing the cleanse.

Let me suggest you follow our "IRS Healthy Step" Protocol...it will walk you throught the process...if you wnat specific help, let my office know and we can setup a consultation.

I just want you to realize that you can overcome yourself, but you have to know what to do....it's like fixing a computer or car....I can do it but if I don't know how...I might not get it fixed.

Blessings,

My daughter has had endometriosis since starting her periods at 12 years old she is now 19 and very sick with lots of things from the endometriosis. She has tried many nautral things but nothing has helped including progesterone cream which made her bleed even more. I was reading an article on excess copper and she seemed to have every symptom they mention do you know much about this and it's treatment as it seems not many pratitioners do.

I have seen a lot of endometriosis and have learned that its best to look at the obvious symptoms and remedies first before looking for the not so common problems. Yes, copper could be the problem, but before you waste any time and money on a protocol that may not Address the Root Cause....I would first look at.

How is her digestive system functioning? Is she struggling with digestive problems? If so...fix that first!

How is her blood sugar? Does she skip meals or eat refined, processed foods or soft drinks on a regular basis? If so, fix that because it could further throw those hormones out of balance.

How is the stress in her life? If her adrenals are exhausted...it can really work a number on those hormones and further exacerbate her problems!

Has she been on birth control pills, steriod hormones or taking rounds of antiboitics...as an adult or child? This could really throw off the balance of your 'good' and 'bad' bacteria in her gut...which exacerbates her problems!

Does she have regular bowel movements?
Does she intake enough good or essential fatty acids, such as omega 3's, lots of nuts and seeds, fish and eat food that is cooked with olvie oil? or does she consume lots of trans fatty acids?

Does she get regular exercise? Does she drink lots of water? Plenty of sunshine? 7-9 hours of good sleep?

If all the above questions are No...you could probably move on to the copper protocol....but if you answered 'yes' I would begin to follow our Healthy Steps Program...and start addressing the cause, and start restoring normal function back to her body, before you waste more time and money and something that may not address the true cause.

I hope that helps and moves you in the right direction, let us know if you want us to help get her moving in the right direction.

There has to be other stuff/symptoms that will tell us what and where to start looking in order to help her. The fact that licorice root upsets her body is also a sign that her body is used to the current state it is in and when you start to change it...even for the better, it could make you feel worse. Unfortuantly we sometimes have to go through that, it is not always an easy transitions, but let me know if we want to get more specific in order to help her.

THe last thing you want to do is keeping on with what you are doing, which sounds like it isn't working.

hope that helps,

Dr. Len
