The Medicine Program

I have been diagnosed with Endometriosis (Stage IV). This is a severe case, since Stage IV marks the last possible stage. In the past, I have been controlling the pain with birth control pills. After many years, I wanted to get off the pill for health reasons but also feared a return of the extreme pain. I was able to completely control / eliminate the pain with a change in diet and reduction in stress. The diet should be absolutely pure - no processed food, no sugar (includes all forms of sugar), no junk food at all, and instead, salads, fresh fruits and vegetables, occasional juicing (fresh fruit / vegetables such as carrot & apple juice), good fats, such as flax or olive oil, raw nuts and green tea. Adding work-outs and some gentle stretching also helps. I was able to avoid surgery and have never looked or felt better. Without changes in diet & stress reduction, the medical prescription would either be a bowel re-section to remove the obstruction or the drug (Lupor) would be prescribed. This drug is known to have serious & uncomfortable side effects (bone loss, headache & pseudo-menopause) and is not at all effective in the long run (symptoms return again once the drug is stopped). I didn’t want to go that route and decided to control/eliminate the pain naturally.
