a good article on endoFrom: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu Sep 22 09:53:39 2005
Hello All, I was sent this article from drweil.com, a website that promotes natural ways to help deal with chronic diseases and conditions. Thought I'd pass it on... Endometriosis is a serious condition marked by severe pain, most often in the form of menstrual cramps. It has no diagnosed cause, but it does seem to run in families. A number of dietary measures can help relieve symptoms by reducing inflammation and lowering the amount of estrogen in your system. Try the following if you have been diagnosed with endometriosis: * Eliminate polyunsaturated vegetable oils (corn, safflower, sunflower) and sources of trans-fatty acids such as margarine and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. * Add sources of omega-3 fatty acids such as sardines and other oily fish, and freshly ground flaxseeds. * Avoid foods (including dairy products) from commercially raised animals; their feed may contain hormones. * Emphasize soy foods such as tofu, tempeh and soy milk, which are rich in plant estrogens and seem to block more harmful forms of estrogen. * Limit alcohol intake, since alcohol boosts estrogen production. * Increase your fiber intake to help flush out excess estrogen. * Try acupuncture.
