It bugs me that Men are IN-charge of women's body. I would change insurance
because at the end of the day the customer gets screwed. Better still cancel
it. Don't give up hope, I never did and I have beaten Endo. by changing my
diet to only organic foods. It has been 6 years after my last op. and I am
finally feeling like a new woman. Please visit hese sites to understand what
is organic food; literely it is food clean of any chemicals no hormones, no
anti biotics, etc. soil is fertile from recycling organic matter; basically
one big cycle.

Happy reading and learning.
Don't give up!!! b.r.
