I’ve suffered since I was 16 with excruciating pain and thought that was just my lot in life. Finally at 45, after deciding to be pushy with doctors, we discovered it was endometriosis. Had surgery last October and apparently it was all over. We need way more research and help with this than there is! I can literally feel it growing back with sharp pains and inflammation regularly
Did you also get cramps before period?? I am experiencing cramps 12 days before my period, and they are getting stronger each month, also the period flow is much heavier 😢
I have started having pain after my periods for week or so and its so excruciating that i have to be bedridden and sometimes even painkillers dont help
I have endometriosis, adenomyosis, leaky gut, and fibroid and used to have ovarian cyst. My gynaecologist and kine advised me to cut sugar, gluten, dairy and meat from supermarket except . Eating a lot of red rice, quinoa and buckwheat. Lots of sweet potato or potatoes, brocolis, and pumpkin. Drink sencha green tea, ginger curcuma tea and pomegranate juice.... It's difficult when I'm invited so I bring my own food. My friends are supportive, so they understand 🙏 I also need to do a lot of exercise, which is hard because I'm always tired. I hope to get some improvements in a few months....
Thanks for sharing. I have stage 4 endometriosis too and struggle with diet options. So your text in spelling it out is helpful. I'd really like to look into it
I did the Whole30 diet for 30 days and than my own low-histamin version of Paleo. So overall similar to what you wrote above. It helped reduce my symptoms but unfortunately I can not always afford organic meat. So sometimes I still buy supermarket chicken and such, which isn't ideal. What helped me the most at first was cutting out Gluten.
@@sarahbahy i only ate organic foods, i bought red meat from butcher, as I live in Pakistan so processed meats are not usually eaten.. i mostly ate ground beef and beef liver throughout my journey... And definitely those were grass fed
Great info! All I know is that I went keto after finding Dr. Berg's channel and done it for about a year and a half. I'm 39 and conceived on my first try. Currently 30w pregnant. I firmly believe it would have taken much longer if it were not for keto.
@@carolferguson I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm in a similar situation as yours. I was blessed to be able to conceive one child, but just weeks ago I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis. My doctor was strongly recommending a hysterectomy for me, but mentally and emotionally I'm just not ready to make that huge decision. Even though I've been blessed with my one and only child; my heart still desires having at least one more. Making life changing decisions is so tough. Prayers sent your way. 🙏🏽
There's a girl on UA-cam who has PCOS, which I know is different, but her periods are extremely painful. She made a video about experimenting with period cups rather than using pads or tampons, and she said using the cups lessened her cramps significantly. She has no idea why, but it may also have an effect on Endo patients. The girl is named RawBeautyKristi if you want to find it. The title says something about Period Cups, and she used them for 6 months before making a video.
I took my granddaughter (17) to see a gynaecologist yesterday (UK), she has been having all the symptoms of endometriosis for over a year, bleeding 3 weeks out of 4, constantly, heavy, extreme pain, to the point she can barely walk, the 'expert' dismissed diet, said as she had already had a scan which came back showing nothing, she could not have it, all she did was promote the Mirena coil. My grand daughter refused, and is now following Dr Bergs regime, time will tell, but I feel all the Doctors do these days is peddle drugs or useless treatments!
This doctor is the same. Your granddaughter would be better off seeing a true UK Endo specialist like Dr Shaheen Khazali. Unfortunately I am told his wait list is fairly long since he is one of maybe four expert surgeons in the UK. Your granddaughter needs a proper work up. Severe endometriosis and adenomyosis know no age.
Just by accident I was putting cinnamon in my tea, I believe this was a game changer for me. Just a sprinkle. Not a lot. This month my period is so different. I have been gluten free for 3 years now. Exercise is also another thing to really consider.
@@Happylitllenorthener how’s your granddaughter doing? If she still needs help, you can also try working with a good homeopath. It can take time but it will work wonders once all the layers are addressed.
Thank you Dr. Berg it's very sad the United States allows GMO in our products, they are killing us!!! Not everyone can afford Organic products! God Bless You and Your Family Dr. Berg FOREVER AMEN🙇♀️✝️🙏
I can recommend some things to reduce menstrual cramps which helped take my cramps from a 10 to 1 . Calcium and magnesium helped reduce cramping. Also take lots of ginger, omega 3s and evening primrose roil and cinnamon the week before your period as they all reduce the inflammatory prostaglandins. Also taking an anti histamine about 2 days before your period reduces cramps, heavy bleeding and helps you sleep better, histamine is inflammatory and can often spike around your cycle to trigger problems
Dr Berg, don't forget to mention that when the endometrial tissue invades the uterine muscle, the patient gets a big boggy soft uterus that often bleeds irregularly if not heavily with cramping. I believe your endometriosis treatments would hold true here as well. Thanks, Rita, retired OB/Gyn
I am concerned as I had strong cramps all my life during period, now in my early 30s, I started getting cramps even 12 days before period, and it's getting worse each month, also, the flow is much heavier 😢need to see a specialist 😢
I had one observation regarding Vitamin C and Lemons. Coming from the city of Mumbai (India), I've heard a lot of people linking foods with 'Sour taste' to Inflammation. Due to this myth, a lot of people with RA or Arthritis in general, do not consume Lemons which has such a good source of Vitamin C complex. 'THEY' are really messing things up for the laymen and thank God I was able to find you. Thank you Dr. Berg!
God Bless you Dr. Berg for all the amazing material you're putting out there. You're part of my routine, watch a few of your videos every day and it has been life changing. I used to take contraceptives for ages because of my PMS and since I've been on the keto diet, with supplements it has gone completely away: no symptoms, no pain, no bloating. thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your research and for sharing your knowledge through your channel.
This informative video is 3 years late for me ,, when I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis with 2 big endometriotic cysts only solution was to have TAHBSO , sadly I didn’t know anything about endometriosis and was eating all the wrong food,, hopefully this video will help all the women out there struggling with the horrible disease
@@mariabenavides8587 In a total hysterectomy, the uterus and cervix are removed.

Thank you Dr. Berg. I feel like you made this video for me since I asked. I know you didn’t but I’m so grateful. I didn’t know the connection with the GMO products. Just learned many things off of this. I’ve been suffering from Endometriosis since I was 22 with 3 surgeries but Keto has helped me tremendously. You’re awesome 👏🏻
My wife has trouble in the womb area. Whenever she’s stressed, whether it’s work stress, whatever stress, her lower sacral area gets affected. It's not just during the time of the month. And when it acts up, it's like indigestion and cramps and sharp pangs to the lower tummy area and it can really bloat up to the point it looks like she’s a month preggers. Not only that, her lower back will act up with spasms and the resulting effect of that is exhaustion and fatigue. This is obviously a combo of many things, continuing years of ongoing stress... chronic stress symptoms, and it does shows in her body especially when I she’s mentally affected by something or someone... Shes trying some Chinese medicine to help warm up the womb and some acupuncture, but willing to learn more. Sometimes the discomfort and the symptoms set her back for days. She doesn’t have heavy periods but I thought I’d comment here too as she does have the symptoms of endometriosis. Main symptoms: Painful spasms lower back - right up to a week or 2 before period Lower painful abdomen during period and even after. And also, she feels unwell especially before period begins. Flu like symptom. It’s a pattern. Sometimes cramps. When stressed, same symptoms almost like she’s about to have another period but nothing comes. One detail... she’s a leukaemia survivor. 7 years since she was diagnosed. I need her to live healthy and pain free (as much as possible) for the rest of my life at least. Any info appreciated. Thanks.
That sounds like the same symptoms I have and I was just “officially” diagnosed with endometriosis 6 months ago after a laparoscopy. I have the back spasms and exhaustion too even if I’m not on my period. I think that happens when you have been undiagnosed and untreated for a long time which was definitely the case for me. It just spreads or gets more rooted overtime. Most of the visible endometriosis lesions my doctor removed were on the back of my uterus facing towards my back and rectum. The pain is less intense after the surgery but it’s still there because the endometriosis might be microscopic. I’m thinking it might even be growing directly on my sciatic nerve because sometimes it feels like something snapped in my lower back and I get sciatic pain down my right leg all the way to my foot. It definitely gets worse when I’m stressed because I hold tension in my pelvic area often. It might sound hoaky but I listen to sleep meditations and hypnosis by Michael Sealy on UA-cam and it really helps me with relaxing and loosening that area. There was a point before where I was in complete agony from the lower back pain and it affected me mentally. Those meditations were the only things I could do because I didn’t even know why I was having that pain at the time. It’s worth a try. I’ve also recently tried Ovira which is a mini clip-on tens unit with electrodes that you stick on your pelvic area and it gives off a current. I use on my lower back too and it definitely helps a bit better than taking only painkillers. It does not get rid of the pain permanently though as it’s only targeting the nerves giving off the pain signal. So once you turn it off the pain will come back. Still better than nothing.
Remove common food allergens they tend to always inflammate any existing issue the key is to keep inflammation of the body down and it will really soften the symptoms but there’s many factors that go into this hopefully it helped a bit
i have endometriosis and i have seen youtube videos aside from dr berg’s that shows products which promotes inflammation..we must be very careful from the oil we use in cooking to every food we eat.. it saddens me that i have to endure this pain every month and not only during my period but before and after my period i still feel pain.. hope your wife gets better.. i also see youtube vids regarding CBD products, that might help
Excellent information I’m sharing with a niece that’s why you have close to 4 million and more will come to your channel excellent educator short brief to the point exactly what we need to know your videos are amazing DrBerg!
I work as a physical therapist, One time I had some one visit me. The person had a shoulder pain. But only in certain times of the month (during the period). After some research we found out it was caused by endometriosis. This was grown to the diafragm what reffered his pain to the shoulder.
I am getting a lot of constant pain in my left glute and hip when i get my periods. I have an endometrioma, and have been told this could be referred pain from endometrosis
Hey Dr. Berg! I'm so thankful to God for people like you who try to help us get to the root causes of diseases like this. I saw your video speaking about dim, how much dosage is safe to consume? and can this help if you may not have access to grass fed red meat? Thanks!
I eat all organic for years. I use the products you suggest and only use organic period products. I still have endo and it's not going away. It is so expensive and time consuming and it never gets any better. I think avoiding pesticides will help in the long run but not with endo.
I am giving up caffeine. I believe this really wrecks hormones anf also cranking Cortisol stress hormone that contribute to thos condition greatly. Ive switched to green tea and sometimes half decaf coffee to transition off. My sleeps are way better now also. I think caffeine may be a big elephant in the room for this condition because women cannot metabolize it like men.
I have endo too.. gave up caffeine through my entire pregnancy, only to find out on 6week pp checkup- i still have endo!! I also brestfeed for 9months- but endo still here!🥲
I stopped eating bread or anything with grain. My pain and bloating was gone. Yesterday I ate one slice bread with egg. The whole day I had pain in my belly and lower back.
Me too. I'm an adenomyosis warrier too like both of you. It is difficult to find information on adenomyosis. I understand it is also likely an estrogen dominant issue.
Thank you, because I was just recently diagnosed with endometriosis. I never thought I would have to worry about getting it, because I was always told endometriosis is due to an untreated STD. Now as I'm trying to gather more information on the cause of endometriosis, it is interesting to learn that there can be a lot of other reasons for having it. Thank you, Dr. Berg!! You're always so helpful and very knowledgeable.
Dear Dr. Berg, I am following you and watching your exzellent Videos. I am watching this video in April 2023 and asking: Are there any new tipps and Studies to get rid of Endometriosis or at least lower the pain? Any advises are much appreciated. ❤
I have stage 4 endometriosis. I always wonder if taking collagen actually promotes endometriosis growth. It would be helpful to know if there is a correlation
I dont want to eat anything anymore. In short, have your own farm and eat what you grow yourself. Have your own livestock if possible. Our Food Industry is terrible. Thank you Doctor for informing all of us and helping us make wiser food choices.
Hi Dr. Berg. Thank you for all the good advice. I've been following you for a few years now. Second, I have stage 4 endometriosis. *I had surgery last December to remove an ovarian cyst. The surgery did not go well due to adhesions. I got very sick from the anesthesia, I really haven't been the same since. *My OB put me on progesterone to control the endometriosis, but I'm not comfortable with it. *I read somewhere that a bacteria may cause endometriosis. Have you heard of this? Thank you.
Am a junior medical doctor,fan of Dr Berg,from India,future obstetrics-gynaecologist,will surely pass it onto my patients,Ay Ay captain Dr Berg...,.......... Dr Berg can you do a video on 1.Indian diet and keto for Indian or Asian people 2.can you do video on hair loss 3.winter and skin health 4.cure disease after they occured (people are into curing and not that interested in preventing disease )
Why for some people is so hard to understand that now a days we already know what is the root for All diseases! Sugar, gluten dairy refined carbs is just so simple...I have been doing fast/ Keto for 8 years and thanksgiving I cheat with sweet potato and organic corn casserole but my body comes back so fast to my normal routine all my deserts are low carb with the great recipes from DOC Berg and Karen! It’s just as simple to live healthy and fell great all the time! Easy easy!
not so easy... the healthy products are expensive, not easy to find, plus those healthy recipes means having to cook a lot, I'm not good at cooking and have no time for that. I tried them ready to eat from gluten free- sugar free bakeries but couldn't pay... so expensive! all organics are expensive... I'm sad about it but I'm trying my best as a single mom.
@@paolac.1678 for me if I think like that I would never do it but I found a way of trading some values, like manicure, pedicure hair salons which are so bad for us anyway and also movies theaters are expensive I don’t go for more than 5 years and fasting is a great way to save too but I understand with kids are diferente. But if I we completely in the matrix is hard to change
Ugh bane of my life!!! I have hypothyroidism so its been a balancing act for what seems like an eternity. I had SS pans, natural hair shampoo/deodorant/toothpaste and cleaning products, white vinegar, laundry eggs or liquid, and washing up liquid (no SLS/Parabens etc). I was taking pregnenolone twice a week, 15mg of lugols, T3 etc etc....all this really helped and I managed my hypothyroidism and periods were OK, not bad, not fab with Diva/Moon cup. I was on 20 - 80 gms carbs a day depending. Then they started to get worse when I became a housekeeper using hotels chemicals maybe?? I was also on road living in car so water came from bottled water sources. Was diagnosed with a 7cm x 5cm endometrioma on left ovary with another small one on right. Also have fibroids and pelvic adhesions. Became homeless after spinal surgery and charity gave me a load of toiletries which of course werent natural and when got new home the pans werent ceramic or steel. Well those endometrimoas have grown significantly in 3 months my gyne surgeon said. I also attribute severe stress to this, and being skint waiting for PIP disability payment, I have had no choice but to use normal milk, not raw or organic. Going for yet another scan tomorrow, they done so under the "two week rule" which means they query CA. I upped my iodine to 75mg per day, got some progesterone cream, and replaced all my toiletries for natural alternatives. Getting some ceramic pans in a cpl weeks. I got some extra money so can at least get organic milk. Raw milk farm is 20 miles away :( This shits real....but I am feeling benefits of iodine the most. 15mg simply wasnt enough for me.

This video is soooo useful. The points about the cotton makes so mich sense. I use bamboo menstrual pads but they aren't certified organic though. I'm mostly dairy free, have drastically reduced sugar, and trying to do other things to alleviate my stage 4 endometriosis symptoms. Thanks very much for this video!
Nothing happens to endometriosis after menopause though symptoms can lessen in severity for some. There are many, many cases of endo persisting despite menopause, hysterectomy, and oophorectomy (removal of ovaries).

Dr. Berg if I’m prone to cysts, Endo and suspected PCOS and the Endo and cysts are due to estrogen dominance. Would you take sea kelp- iodine? That’s what I’ve been taking to reduce my estrogen levels
I have Endometriosis and I have found that switching from tampons to a menstrual cup has greatly improved my pain during my period. I am struggling with the idea of cutting out dairy because I absolutely love it. Asking a Wisconsin girl to not eat dairy is like asking me to stop breathing. :( I know I do need to cut it out though. I wonder if taking your estrogen balance would help with this as well. 🤔
@@tanyawieczorek6603 It is about the same as it was two years ago. I fell off the keto band wagon (slowly getting back on) I did take estrogen balance for a while and it seemed to help as well.
While this is all great information. You left out some important facts. Those of us with endometriosis were born with the abnormal tissue outside of the uterus. They have found endometriosis in autopsies of both unborn fetuses as well as babies. This is a part of how they've discovered we are clearly born with the endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. This tissue has been located in the lungs, bowels, and even in the brain in some cases. While diet is essential for good health and is helpful in many ways, it's important to know that in no way is it a cure, or eradicator of all disease. Often times without meaning to good intending folks negate that there are other medical factors involved outside of diet. The combination of both is often necessary, and often times the two combined still leave many people with unanswered questions.
@@tanyawieczorek6603 Ablative surgery if possible, along with and medications. Diet for any autoimmune condition is of course always an important factor.
Currently, the cause of endometriosis is still unknown. I did read an article years ago that found that women who did regularly use Tampons had lower rates of endometriosis. Now, who knows what that means? Do the women with endometriosis use pads more because of heavy bleeding or do Tampons have a protective effect? No one knows. But, there is no association between Tampon use and higher rates of endometriosis.
Hi Dr Berg, thanks for sharing. Excellent information! I have a question: Is nutra milk healthy to drink if someone has endometriosis? Please , I'm waiting for your answer.
Am finally a mother today , because of fibroids my tubes was block for 6years I and my husband was having issue because of my situation no child when I was Searching online on UA-cam about fibroids I saw a testimony about dr Omo so I write him and place order for his herbal today I have 2weeks old baby now he can help you too Herb's work like magic.

Dr. Berg, please explain your comment about all grains being inflammatory. From what I read they're anti-inflammatory if whole, and inflammatory if processed or if you have a gluten sensitivity.
Like this please so he sees it. What about Painful Bladder Syndrome? Intercistial Cystitis I have that with Endometriosis. My Dr bless his heart says Keto caused these. I’m off all thyroid, pain pills, anti depressants , anxiety and gerd RX so even if he is right it’s worth What vit C and vit E are you referring to Dr Berg? Thank you
I’m 16 years old and I was officially diagnosed with endometriosis in July this year after I underwent a laparoscopy... It was very intense and scary, and my one wish is that I can have my own kids one day
Dear Dr. Berg. I suffer from severe period pain. My gynaecologist says that I’m very likely to have endometriosis. However, it can not be diagnosed unless by surgery. I have watched your video and I am planning to take your advice into practice. I was wondering if I could personally contact you through email about my ongoing and painful journey as I have only been told the same thing over and over regarding possible treatment. Many thanks.
i find it painful during menstrual pain, and also i had virgina warts in which i wasn't able to get pregnant, but big thanks to DR IYHERE on UA-cam. i came across his youtube channel which i used his herbal medication for this illness, and now i am a living testifier that i am cured completely and also four months pregnant. ..💜💚

@@DrbergI made some changes when I was recently diagnosed with endo. Started to take vitamin E , C , D, Omega 3 fish oil, Zinc, probiotics and started gluten free diet and dairy free and I do feel a little better and time will tell because it's only been like 3 weeks since I was diagnosed and started this journey. Finger crossed 🤞 I think I'm going to add Vitamin A and B complex and maybe NAC as well.
Nancy's Nook is a great resource for accurate endo information. Men can get endo, people can get endo behind the eye, and current data shows that it's probably a cell differentiation problem. I had endometriosis excision removal surgery from a world renowned physician and it changed my life.
Have you found anything useful I just did a procedure and it’s suspected that’s what I have. After reading all the symptoms it seems to match what I have been experiencing. If it’s not adenomyosis then idk what the hell it is because all other tests show I’m fine other wise and it’s not endo as confirmed as of today.

Dr. do you think DIM will help heal the endometriosis and even adenomyosis? My sister is afraid of surgery and also she had a heart condition and still young to have the hysterectomy, as of now she's changing some of her diet. Can these be treated naturally? She's not eating meat, no dairy, no coffee, less sugar and no canned products as of the moment.
Hi Dr Berg, have you any suggestions how to get rid of endometriosis rather than prevent it? I've had endometriosis for several years, I've had key hole surgery to get rid of the endometriosis four years ago which worked extremely well. I know it has come back again though as I have been getting significant systems yet again. Is surgery the only solution to actually getting rid of it once you already have it? The preventative advice on your video is excellent, I'm trying to implement them at present.
@Shauneen Doran try not to eat sugar and dairy and unhealthy food. My doctor told me it doesnt have relief and i was on NSAIDS for a year but it has a lot to do with inflammation thats what dr berg is talking about..
I'm in my late 60's I had endometriosis almost as soon as I had regular periods, In the 50's and 60 food were better when we grew up, and none of the factors that he's talking about was affectual in my case. I don't think that the problem was from any of his stated causes for me. Perhaps, estrogen, but who knew back then about this, and we, my family did not eat very much meat so....I wonder?
It was a fatty liver that over time no longer filtered and eliminated excess estrogen from your body. It piled up. People don't realize that Iodine deficiency causes great harm to the uterus, the uterus needs Iodine to function properly. Not to mention all the nutrients naturally in green cruciferous vegetables that eliminate the toxic waste product Estradiol.

Hi Dr.Berg, Thank you. With chocolate cyst and endometriosis gynecologist precscribe combination birth control pills to supress the endo and the cyst from growing. In one of your videos you talk about the danger of these pills. Would it be better to stop using the pills? I’m afraid of the cyst and endo growing if I stop the pills and the side effects of the pills.
Hello, thanks for writing. To summarize 👉 What causes endometriosis (7 potential causes): 1. Cotton (GMO) 2. Dairy 3. Soy 4. GMO-Foods 5. Grains 6. Grain-fed animal products 7. Sugar (GMO) What to do for endometriosis: • Go organic • Consume a natural vitamin C complex • Consume a natural vitamin E complex • Consume selenium • Consume omega 3 fatty acids. Stinging nettle root is one of the best aromatase inhibitors, and you can take it as a supplement. Hope this helps!
@DrEricBergDC What do you think about the studies indicating some antioxidants can worsen certain cancers? I have severe symptoms from endometriosis and also low grade spinal astrocytoma. I'm already taking vitamin c but am hesitant to add more, like E, and take high amounts of antioxidants because of these studies and articles. It seems if anything it is the isolated supplements that are problematic rather than natural sources, if at all. My diet is already very strict so I am doing what I can to add them from natural sources, but I suspect it's not enough if antioxidants would indeed help.
Ok, one question: What am I aloud to eat? If you are doing LC and IF... If I'm not aloud to eat dairy products (even if they are organic) and I can't afford the amount of meat I would need to compensate tastewise. It's getting to be very tricky.... Sorry, but I can't live only on veg with fat :o( That would mean vegan Keto... wow that sounds like fun :O(
Thank you Dr. Berg! I am trying to avoid surgery for a 9cm endometrioma.l which could result in the lost of my ovary. I do keto and IF. I told the doctor to give me 6 months to try with natural supplements. Is there anything else would you recommend for this? I really hope you can give me a response. Ty!!
Check out Proteolytic enzymes. Research youtube about serrapeptase, nattokinase, and wobenzym. There is a product for endometriosis called "Endovan" that has some nattokinase in it. I have all seen articles where people use different combinations of the above enzymes. Can you look into the DUTCH hormone test, at least one of their basic tests ? I also took the Organic Acids test from Great Plains Labs and found out I was extremely deficient in B6. What a difference for me, not with endo, I lost mine after my first pregnancy, but with respect to other conditions. Maybe try to shrink the cysts with enzymes and by balancing hormones based on results of the DUTCH, and correct any nutritional deficiencies as well. Good luck.
Thank you for all that info, I will look into it! I would really like to shrink it and avoid surgery and also show the doctors that it was possible to treat this with nutrition :)
@@gabymccann5270 did you manage to shrink it. wondering as I also have the same issue and would love to hear that there is a possibility to escape surgery. please respond. thank you.
@@classtituderomania1046 unfortunately I wasn’t able to get it to shrink :( I had surgery and got rid of it that way, luckily everything went fine and my ovaries and uterus were unaffected. I hope for a great outcome for you as well and let us know if you find a way to treat without surgery.
Everyone is different.. my personal experience was i blamed hormones on my endometriosis for years.. no soy no meat no grains no sugar no bpa no dairy .. hundreds of dollars wasted on herbs and nutritionalists accupuncture. 8 years!! .... yes my pain is 1million times better. But my endometriosis is as severe. Alot of specialists are talking about back flow of that endometrial lining. not just potential hormone issues being a causation.
I am not a believer in the retrograde menstruation theory. Of the theories of the origins of endo, it's the most flawed since 90% of menstruating people experience retrograde menstruation yet only 10-15% have endometriosis. Research for the theory was also only done on cadavers, not on live patients. Why it continues to receive so much traction I have no idea.
I suffered from this and it went away for a year after my NaPro Technology surgery, but the pain came back a few days ago. I didn’t take care of myself after the surgery and ate a lot of dairy. It’s definitely endometriosis. I had stage 3.
I have endometriosis, fibroids and hypothyroidism. Currently taking 2% Lugol’s Iodine. Everyday I place 6 drops on my forearm and rub it in until my arm is dry and the iodine has turned my arm dark yellow. Can anyone tell me if Lugol’s can be ingested?
When I was a teenager I used to get heavy period to the point I will vomit I struggle with the pain for years and I thought it was all in my head I thought it was due to acknowledgment little did I know down the line I was going to develop endometriosis when I finally became an adult finally got a cure that I was diagnosed with endometriosis I finally had the surgery but I still have to carry on with some of it still in my body I dream one day I will be cured thank you for your videos
I’ve suffered since I was 16 with excruciating pain and thought that was just my lot in life. Finally at 45, after deciding to be pushy with doctors, we discovered it was endometriosis. Had surgery last October and apparently it was all over. We need way more research and help with this than there is! I can literally feel it growing back with sharp pains and inflammation regularly
Did you also get cramps before period?? I am experiencing cramps 12 days before my period, and they are getting stronger each month, also the period flow is much heavier 😢
@@nicol31spI do. I got bad cramps before my period. My back ached so bad. My periods started coming every four months.
I have started having pain after my periods for week or so and its so excruciating that i have to be bedridden and sometimes even painkillers dont help
Me too and it’s not even a guarantee it wont come back especially if they missed a spot
Same.
I feel like my periods have hijacked my life.
I have endometriosis, adenomyosis, leaky gut, and fibroid and used to have ovarian cyst. My gynaecologist and kine advised me to cut sugar, gluten, dairy and meat from supermarket except . Eating a lot of red rice, quinoa and buckwheat. Lots of sweet potato or potatoes, brocolis, and pumpkin. Drink sencha green tea, ginger curcuma tea and pomegranate juice.... It's difficult when I'm invited so I bring my own food. My friends are supportive, so they understand 🙏 I also need to do a lot of exercise, which is hard because I'm always tired. I hope to get some improvements in a few months....
Thanks for sharing. I have stage 4 endometriosis too and struggle with diet options. So your text in spelling it out is helpful. I'd really like to look into it
I did the Whole30 diet for 30 days and than my own low-histamin version of Paleo. So overall similar to what you wrote above. It helped reduce my symptoms but unfortunately I can not always afford organic meat. So sometimes I still buy supermarket chicken and such, which isn't ideal.
What helped me the most at first was cutting out Gluten.
Pls update us
This stuff aggravates endometriosis but does NOT cause it. Serrapeptase and medicinal mushrooms.
He's very knowledgeable but I've never heard him be more off before.
My endometrioma has gone after 3 months of intermittent fasting and keto carnivore diet Thanks doctor
That's amazing!
May I know did you eat any type of red meat or grass fed grass finished ? Did you eat organic or conventional foods ?
@@sarahbahy i only ate organic foods, i bought red meat from butcher, as I live in Pakistan so processed meats are not usually eaten.. i mostly ate ground beef and beef liver throughout my journey... And definitely those were grass fed
I also took ginger+turmeric+oregano+black pepper tea for some days, it should be consistently taken for at least 21 days to show results

Great info! All I know is that I went keto after finding Dr. Berg's channel and done it for about a year and a half. I'm 39 and conceived on my first try. Currently 30w pregnant. I firmly believe it would have taken much longer if it were not for keto.

@@carolferguson I'm so sorry to hear that.
I'm in a similar situation as yours.
I was blessed to be able to conceive one child, but just weeks ago I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis. My doctor was strongly recommending a hysterectomy for me, but mentally and emotionally I'm just not ready to make that huge decision.
Even though I've been blessed with my one and only child; my heart still desires having at least one more.
Making life changing decisions is so tough.
Prayers sent your way. 🙏🏽
There's a girl on UA-cam who has PCOS, which I know is different, but her periods are extremely painful. She made a video about experimenting with period cups rather than using pads or tampons, and she said using the cups lessened her cramps significantly. She has no idea why, but it may also have an effect on Endo patients. The girl is named RawBeautyKristi if you want to find it. The title says something about Period Cups, and she used them for 6 months before making a video.
I took my granddaughter (17) to see a gynaecologist yesterday (UK), she has been having all the symptoms of endometriosis for over a year, bleeding 3 weeks out of 4, constantly, heavy, extreme pain, to the point she can barely walk, the 'expert' dismissed diet, said as she had already had a scan which came back showing nothing, she could not have it, all she did was promote the Mirena coil. My grand daughter refused, and is now following Dr Bergs regime, time will tell, but I feel all the Doctors do these days is peddle drugs or useless treatments!
Hi Lisa, can you tell me what herbal medications worked for you, thank you for replying
This doctor is the same. Your granddaughter would be better off seeing a true UK Endo specialist like Dr Shaheen Khazali. Unfortunately I am told his wait list is fairly long since he is one of maybe four expert surgeons in the UK. Your granddaughter needs a proper work up. Severe endometriosis and adenomyosis know no age.
Chris Williams, how is your granddaughter now?
Just by accident I was putting cinnamon in my tea, I believe this was a game changer for me. Just a sprinkle. Not a lot. This month my period is so different. I have been gluten free for 3 years now. Exercise is also another thing to really consider.
@@Happylitllenorthener how’s your granddaughter doing? If she still needs help, you can also try working with a good homeopath. It can take time but it will work wonders once all the layers are addressed.
Thank you Dr. Berg it's very sad the United States allows GMO in our products, they are killing us!!! Not everyone can afford Organic products! God Bless You and Your Family Dr. Berg FOREVER AMEN🙇♀️✝️🙏

@@es4666 Everything is GMO, even in the meat you eat!
You don't eat much when you eat more quality food
dear Dr Berg, could you please do an updated video on this topic 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I am current suffering from endometriosis .. thank you in advance
I can recommend some things to reduce menstrual cramps which helped take my cramps from a 10 to 1 . Calcium and magnesium helped reduce cramping. Also take lots of ginger, omega 3s and evening primrose roil and cinnamon the week before your period as they all reduce the inflammatory prostaglandins. Also taking an anti histamine about 2 days before your period reduces cramps, heavy bleeding and helps you sleep better, histamine is inflammatory and can often spike around your cycle to trigger problems
Dr. Berg would you please suggest a list of foods to eat for people with severe endometriosis and fatty liver.
I had this problem and had tumors, cysts and had a complete hysterectomy at 38. I was only able to have child. Thank you for sharing this information.
Well gosh darn it....where was this 19 years ago when I was diagnosed with it?!?! Thank you!
💙💙💙
Dr Berg, don't forget to mention that when the endometrial tissue invades the uterine muscle, the patient gets a big boggy soft uterus that often bleeds irregularly if not heavily with cramping. I believe your endometriosis treatments would hold true here as well. Thanks, Rita, retired OB/Gyn
I am concerned as I had strong cramps all my life during period, now in my early 30s, I started getting cramps even 12 days before period, and it's getting worse each month, also, the flow is much heavier 😢need to see a specialist 😢
I had one observation regarding Vitamin C and Lemons. Coming from the city of Mumbai (India), I've heard a lot of people linking foods with 'Sour taste' to Inflammation. Due to this myth, a lot of people with RA or Arthritis in general, do not consume Lemons which has such a good source of Vitamin C complex. 'THEY' are really messing things up for the laymen and thank God I was able to find you. Thank you Dr. Berg!
God Bless you Dr. Berg for all the amazing material you're putting out there. You're part of my routine, watch a few of your videos every day and it has been life changing. I used to take contraceptives for ages because of my PMS and since I've been on the keto diet, with supplements it has gone completely away: no symptoms, no pain, no bloating. thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your research and for sharing your knowledge through your channel.
This informative video is 3 years late for me ,, when I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis with 2 big endometriotic cysts only solution was to have TAHBSO , sadly I didn’t know anything about endometriosis and was eating all the wrong food,, hopefully this video will help all the women out there struggling with the horrible disease
What’s TAHBSO? Please

Thank you Dr. Berg. I feel like you made this video for me since I asked. I know you didn’t but I’m so grateful. I didn’t know the connection with the GMO products. Just learned many things off of this. I’ve been suffering from Endometriosis since I was 22 with 3 surgeries but Keto has helped me tremendously. You’re awesome 👏🏻
Keto helped? I am showing symptoms as of the past year. I may look more into keto.
My wife has trouble in the womb area.
Whenever she’s stressed, whether it’s work stress, whatever stress, her lower sacral area gets affected. It's not just during the time of the month. And when it acts up, it's like indigestion and cramps and sharp pangs to the lower tummy area and it can really bloat up to the point it looks like she’s a month preggers. Not only that, her lower back will act up with spasms and the resulting effect of that is exhaustion and fatigue.
This is obviously a combo of many things, continuing years of ongoing stress... chronic stress symptoms, and it does shows in her body especially when I she’s mentally affected by something or someone...
Shes trying some Chinese medicine to help warm up the womb and some acupuncture, but willing to learn more. Sometimes the discomfort and the symptoms set her back for days.
She doesn’t have heavy periods but I thought I’d comment here too as she does have the symptoms of endometriosis.
Main symptoms:
Painful spasms lower back - right up to a week or 2 before period
Lower painful abdomen during period and even after.
And also, she feels unwell especially before period begins. Flu like symptom. It’s a pattern.
Sometimes cramps.
When stressed, same symptoms almost like she’s about to have another period but nothing comes.
One detail... she’s a leukaemia survivor. 7 years since she was diagnosed. I need her to live healthy and pain free (as much as possible) for the rest of my life at least.
Any info appreciated. Thanks.
That sounds like the same symptoms I have and I was just “officially” diagnosed with endometriosis 6 months ago after a laparoscopy. I have the back spasms and exhaustion too even if I’m not on my period. I think that happens when you have been undiagnosed and untreated for a long time which was definitely the case for me. It just spreads or gets more rooted overtime. Most of the visible endometriosis lesions my doctor removed were on the back of my uterus facing towards my back and rectum. The pain is less intense after the surgery but it’s still there because the endometriosis might be microscopic. I’m thinking it might even be growing directly on my sciatic nerve because sometimes it feels like something snapped in my lower back and I get sciatic pain down my right leg all the way to my foot. It definitely gets worse when I’m stressed because I hold tension in my pelvic area often.
It might sound hoaky but I listen to sleep meditations and hypnosis by Michael Sealy on UA-cam and it really helps me with relaxing and loosening that area. There was a point before where I was in complete agony from the lower back pain and it affected me mentally. Those meditations were the only things I could do because I didn’t even know why I was having that pain at the time. It’s worth a try.
I’ve also recently tried Ovira which is a mini clip-on tens unit with electrodes that you stick on your pelvic area and it gives off a current. I use on my lower back too and it definitely helps a bit better than taking only painkillers. It does not get rid of the pain permanently though as it’s only targeting the nerves giving off the pain signal. So once you turn it off the pain will come back. Still better than nothing.
Remove common food allergens they tend to always inflammate any existing issue the key is to keep inflammation of the body down and it will really soften the symptoms but there’s many factors that go into this hopefully it helped a bit
i have endometriosis and i have seen youtube videos aside from dr berg’s that shows products which promotes inflammation..we must be very careful from the oil we use in cooking to every food we eat.. it saddens me that i have to endure this pain every month and not only during my period but before and after my period i still feel pain..
hope your wife gets better.. i also see youtube vids regarding CBD products, that might help
George Lista, how is your wife doing now? Was she diagnosed with endometriosis? Did she find out something that helps?

I work as a physical therapist,
One time I had some one visit me. The person had a shoulder pain. But only in certain times of the month (during the period).
After some research we found out it was caused by endometriosis. This was grown to the diafragm what reffered his pain to the shoulder.

Hey Dr. Berg! I'm so thankful to God for people like you who try to help us get to the root causes of diseases like this. I saw your video speaking about dim, how much dosage is safe to consume? and can this help if you may not have access to grass fed red meat?
Thanks!
I eat all organic for years. I use the products you suggest and only use organic period products. I still have endo and it's not going away. It is so expensive and time consuming and it never gets any better. I think avoiding pesticides will help in the long run but not with endo.
Have you tried tocotrienols vitamin e
I am giving up caffeine. I believe this really wrecks hormones anf also cranking Cortisol stress hormone that contribute to thos condition greatly. Ive switched to green tea and sometimes half decaf coffee to transition off. My sleeps are way better now also. I think caffeine may be a big elephant in the room for this condition because women cannot metabolize it like men.

I'm intersted to because i found out that i have this issue could please give me more information
Me too I have it and no one talks about this at all I have tried all diets but the more I age the more painful it gets.
Me too. I'm an adenomyosis warrier too like both of you. It is difficult to find information on adenomyosis. I understand it is also likely an estrogen dominant issue.
Thank you, because I was just recently diagnosed with endometriosis.
I never thought I would have to worry about getting it, because I was always told endometriosis is due to an untreated STD.
Now as I'm trying to gather more information on the cause of endometriosis, it is interesting to learn that there can be a lot of other reasons for having it.
Thank you, Dr. Berg!!
You're always so helpful and very knowledgeable.

Hi Dr. Berg.
Thank you for all the good advice. I've been following you for a few years now.
Second, I have stage 4 endometriosis.
*I had surgery last December to remove an ovarian cyst. The surgery did not go well due to adhesions.
I got very sick from the anesthesia, I really haven't been the same since.
*My OB put me on progesterone to control the endometriosis, but I'm not comfortable with it.
*I read somewhere that a bacteria may cause endometriosis.
Have you heard of this?
Thank you.
Can you please make a video on endometriosis cyst.

2.can you do video on hair loss
3.winter and skin health
4.cure disease after they occured (people are into curing and not that interested in preventing disease )
Why for some people is so hard to understand that now a days we already know what is the root for All diseases! Sugar, gluten dairy refined carbs is just so simple...I have been doing fast/ Keto for 8 years and thanksgiving I cheat with sweet potato and organic corn casserole but my body comes back so fast to my normal routine all my deserts are low carb with the great recipes from DOC Berg and Karen! It’s just as simple to live healthy and fell great all the time! Easy easy!
not so easy... the healthy products are expensive, not easy to find, plus those healthy recipes means having to cook a lot, I'm not good at cooking and have no time for that. I tried them ready to eat from gluten free- sugar free bakeries but couldn't pay... so expensive! all organics are expensive... I'm sad about it but I'm trying my best as a single mom.

But if I we completely in the matrix is hard to change

Do a video on ADENOMYOSIS ……PLEASE…..
It is endometriosis too.. but in uterus wall
Ugh bane of my life!!!
I have hypothyroidism so its been a balancing act for what seems like an eternity. I had SS pans, natural hair shampoo/deodorant/toothpaste and cleaning products, white vinegar, laundry eggs or liquid, and washing up liquid (no SLS/Parabens etc). I was taking pregnenolone twice a week, 15mg of lugols, T3 etc etc....all this really helped and I managed my hypothyroidism and periods were OK, not bad, not fab with Diva/Moon cup. I was on 20 - 80 gms carbs a day depending.
Then they started to get worse when I became a housekeeper using hotels chemicals maybe?? I was also on road living in car so water came from bottled water sources. Was diagnosed with a 7cm x 5cm endometrioma on left ovary with another small one on right. Also have fibroids and pelvic adhesions.
Became homeless after spinal surgery and charity gave me a load of toiletries which of course werent natural and when got new home the pans werent ceramic or steel.
Well those endometrimoas have grown significantly in 3 months my gyne surgeon said. I also attribute severe stress to this, and being skint waiting for PIP disability payment, I have had no choice but to use normal milk, not raw or organic.
Going for yet another scan tomorrow, they done so under the "two week rule" which means they query CA.
I upped my iodine to 75mg per day, got some progesterone cream, and replaced all my toiletries for natural alternatives. Getting some ceramic pans in a cpl weeks. I got some extra money so can at least get organic milk. Raw milk farm is 20 miles away :(
This shits real....but I am feeling benefits of iodine the most. 15mg simply wasnt enough for me.

Nothing happens to endometriosis after menopause though symptoms can lessen in severity for some. There are many, many cases of endo persisting despite menopause, hysterectomy, and oophorectomy (removal of ovaries).

While this is all great information. You left out some important facts. Those of us with endometriosis were born with the abnormal tissue outside of the uterus. They have found endometriosis in autopsies of both unborn fetuses as well as babies. This is a part of how they've discovered we are clearly born with the endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. This tissue has been located in the lungs, bowels, and even in the brain in some cases. While diet is essential for good health and is helpful in many ways, it's important to know that in no way is it a cure, or eradicator of all disease. Often times without meaning to good intending folks negate that there are other medical factors involved outside of diet. The combination of both is often necessary, and often times the two combined still leave many people with unanswered questions.
That would surely be a reflection of mother's exposure to these toxins/ pollutants/hormone disruptors before and while pregnant.

Currently, the cause of endometriosis is still unknown. I did read an article years ago that found that women who did regularly use Tampons had lower rates of endometriosis. Now, who knows what that means? Do the women with endometriosis use pads more because of heavy bleeding or do Tampons have a protective effect? No one knows. But, there is no association between Tampon use and higher rates of endometriosis.

PS, I know that there's no escaping....I am gonna blow it...I just know it, cause I have to cook this NON KETO food for everyone! If I say the word "KETO," I may wind being the TURKEY, hahaha!!! 😂😂😂
Thank you dr Berg. Here in Brazil is a very common disease. Unfortunately.
Thank you so much for a quick and very usefull info dr Berg! xxx
Most welcome!
@@DrbergI made some changes when I was recently diagnosed with endo. Started to take vitamin E , C , D, Omega 3 fish oil, Zinc, probiotics and started gluten free diet and dairy free and I do feel a little better and time will tell because it's only been like 3 weeks since I was diagnosed and started this journey. Finger crossed 🤞 I think I'm going to add Vitamin A and B complex and maybe NAC as well.
@Dr Eric, would you have any solution for mittleschmerze????
Nancy's Nook is a great resource for accurate endo information. Men can get endo, people can get endo behind the eye, and current data shows that it's probably a cell differentiation problem.
I had endometriosis excision removal surgery from a world renowned physician and it changed my life.
What physician? I'm currently struggling for some years now. What was your after treatment care and diet?
Doesn't endometriosis come back though?
New to your channel suggested by a friend, do you have a video on Adenomyosis? I am diagnosed with that. Would love to know more.
Have you found anything useful I just did a procedure and it’s suspected that’s what I have. After reading all the symptoms it seems to match what I have been experiencing. If it’s not adenomyosis then idk what the hell it is because all other tests show I’m fine other wise and it’s not endo as confirmed as of today.
If I knew this 8 years I would not had surgery 😭😢
Thank you for this video. Such helpful info
I am always happy to help!
Dr birg svp traduisez le contenu de cette émission sur l'endométriose en français où en arabe merci beaucoup pour vos efforts pour le bien être de l'être humain
Exactly, our society is estrogen dominance and most products or doctors prescribe more estrogen when what is needed is progesterone.
This is hugely helpful, thank you
It's always a great pleasure!
Dr. do you think DIM will help heal the endometriosis and even adenomyosis? My sister is afraid of surgery and also she had a heart condition and still young to have the hysterectomy, as of now she's changing some of her diet. Can these be treated naturally? She's not eating meat, no dairy, no coffee, less sugar and no canned products as of the moment.
How's your sister?
Hi Dr Berg, have you any suggestions how to get rid of endometriosis rather than prevent it? I've had endometriosis for several years, I've had key hole surgery to get rid of the endometriosis four years ago which worked extremely well. I know it has come back again though as I have been getting significant systems yet again. Is surgery the only solution to actually getting rid of it once you already have it? The preventative advice on your video is excellent, I'm trying to implement them at present.
@Shauneen Doran try not to eat sugar and dairy and unhealthy food. My doctor told me it doesnt have relief and i was on NSAIDS for a year but it has a lot to do with inflammation thats what dr berg is talking about..
Were you also told by your Dr. that you have to be on HRT until menopause?
I'm in my late 60's I had endometriosis almost as soon as I had regular periods, In the 50's and 60 food were better when we grew up, and none of the factors that he's talking about was affectual in my case. I don't think that the problem was from any of his stated causes for me. Perhaps, estrogen, but who knew back then about this, and we, my family did not eat very much meat so....I wonder?
It was a fatty liver that over time no longer filtered and eliminated excess estrogen from your body. It piled up. People don't realize that Iodine deficiency causes great harm to the uterus, the uterus needs Iodine to function properly. Not to mention all the nutrients naturally in green cruciferous vegetables that eliminate the toxic waste product Estradiol.
Sorry Not at 16 when I first got it, I had a hysterectomy when I was 40.
In the 50s and 60s, DDT pesticide was legal and widely used.
again I this this is not true...
false again, we didn't do dairy...
Dr Berg, have you found any new info on this. We are out here still struggling 😞
@Dr Berg, please do a video on fibroids.
Thank you so much Dr. Berg
I own you my health.
Hi doctor, could you please make a video about Polychondrite and how to deal with it. Thanks!
And here I am looking to someone that sort of understands 😞 my problem, I have very low estrogen for my age as a medical side effect. 😞

Hi Dr.Berg,
Thank you.
With chocolate cyst and endometriosis gynecologist precscribe combination birth control pills to supress the endo and the cyst from growing.
In one of your videos you talk about the danger of these pills.
Would it be better to stop using the pills? I’m afraid of the cyst and endo growing if I stop the pills and the side effects of the pills.
Can you tell me what is the danger of taking the birth control pills?
Hello. How are you now? I am going through same situation as you, and I am not married, no kids yet. Did anything work for you?
Grazie Dottore Berg per un'altra buonissima video! 💝
Thank you Dr. B for another excellent video!!💝
OMG the GMO connection.😯 Thank you muchly for sharing this very important information with us all, & take good care off yourself to. ❤🙂🐶
Maxi Bake , "OMG" is "GMO" spelled backwards....is this just a coincident, or maybe I just read too much into stuff!😂😂😂
@@marymartha7693 Nope. You read right Mary, as I typed OMG I saw it. Take care of yourself, & Happy Thanksgiving for tomorrow too. 🦃❤🙂🐶
Thank you so much Dr.Berg.Mostly gynecology doctor dont explain why you have that what you need to avoid to eating or not to use.What diet.
Hello, thanks for writing. To summarize 👉 What causes endometriosis (7 potential causes): 1. Cotton (GMO) 2. Dairy 3. Soy 4. GMO-Foods 5. Grains 6. Grain-fed animal products 7. Sugar (GMO) What to do for endometriosis: • Go organic • Consume a natural vitamin C complex • Consume a natural vitamin E complex • Consume selenium • Consume omega 3 fatty acids. Stinging nettle root is one of the best aromatase inhibitors, and you can take it as a supplement. Hope this helps!
@@Drberg Yes thank you so much and God bless po from Phillipines🙏
@DrEricBergDC What do you think about the studies indicating some antioxidants can worsen certain cancers? I have severe symptoms from endometriosis and also low grade spinal astrocytoma. I'm already taking vitamin c but am hesitant to add more, like E, and take high amounts of antioxidants because of these studies and articles.
It seems if anything it is the isolated supplements that are problematic rather than natural sources, if at all. My diet is already very strict so I am doing what I can to add them from natural sources, but I suspect it's not enough if antioxidants would indeed help.
Toxic chemicals in the house too. My family has used toxic chemicals since I was born. Massive hormone problems here.
Ok, one question: What am I aloud to eat? If you are doing LC and IF... If I'm not aloud to eat dairy products (even if they are organic) and I can't afford the amount of meat I would need to compensate tastewise. It's getting to be very tricky.... Sorry, but I can't live only on veg with fat :o( That would mean vegan Keto... wow that sounds like fun :O(
Thank you so much for talking about this Dr. Berg. 💕
Thank you Dr. Berg! I am trying to avoid surgery for a 9cm endometrioma.l which could result in the lost of my ovary. I do keto and IF. I told the doctor to give me 6 months to try with natural supplements. Is there anything else would you recommend for this? I really hope you can give me a response. Ty!!
Check out Proteolytic enzymes. Research youtube about serrapeptase, nattokinase, and wobenzym. There is a product for endometriosis called "Endovan" that has some nattokinase in it. I have all seen articles where people use different combinations of the above enzymes. Can you look into the DUTCH hormone test, at least one of their basic tests ? I also took the Organic Acids test from Great Plains Labs and found out I was extremely deficient in B6. What a difference for me, not with endo, I lost mine after my first pregnancy, but with respect to other conditions. Maybe try to shrink the cysts with enzymes and by balancing hormones based on results of the DUTCH, and correct any nutritional deficiencies as well. Good luck.
I also suggest proteolytic enzymes, keep in mind they are not supposed to be used in the same way as enzymes for food digestion.
Thank you for all that info, I will look into it! I would really like to shrink it and avoid surgery and also show the doctors that it was possible to treat this with nutrition :)
@@gabymccann5270 did you manage to shrink it. wondering as I also have the same issue and would love to hear that there is a possibility to escape surgery. please respond. thank you.
@@classtituderomania1046 unfortunately I wasn’t able to get it to shrink :( I had surgery and got rid of it that way, luckily everything went fine and my ovaries and uterus were unaffected. I hope for a great outcome for you as well and let us know if you find a way to treat without surgery.
Everyone is different.. my personal experience was i blamed hormones on my endometriosis for years.. no soy no meat no grains no sugar no bpa no dairy .. hundreds of dollars wasted on herbs and nutritionalists accupuncture. 8 years!! .... yes my pain is 1million times better. But my endometriosis is as severe.
Alot of specialists are talking about back flow of that endometrial lining. not just potential hormone issues being a causation.
I am not a believer in the retrograde menstruation theory. Of the theories of the origins of endo, it's the most flawed since 90% of menstruating people experience retrograde menstruation yet only 10-15% have endometriosis. Research for the theory was also only done on cadavers, not on live patients. Why it continues to receive so much traction I have no idea.
Very well explained 👏
Glad you liked it!
Hi, can you please make a video for Adenomyosis .thanks
Hi dr. Can I take the supplements you mentioned in the video for Adenomyosis??
Is it more beneficial for endo patients to be on HTR until menopause?
So much great information here
I really appreciate you saying so!
Any link between endometriosis and painful legs?
Yes. Google Sciatic endometriosis.
I suffered from this and it went away for a year after my NaPro Technology surgery, but the pain came back a few days ago. I didn’t take care of myself after the surgery and ate a lot of dairy. It’s definitely endometriosis. I had stage 3.
What about adenomyosis?
I have endometriosis, fibroids and hypothyroidism. Currently taking 2% Lugol’s Iodine. Everyday I place 6 drops on my forearm and rub it in until my arm is dry and the iodine has turned my arm dark yellow. Can anyone tell me if Lugol’s can be ingested?
When I was a teenager I used to get heavy period to the point I will vomit I struggle with the pain for years and I thought it was all in my head I thought it was due to acknowledgment little did I know down the line I was going to develop endometriosis when I finally became an adult finally got a cure that I was diagnosed with endometriosis I finally had the surgery but I still have to carry on with some of it still in my body I dream one day I will be cured thank you for your videos
I had an MD tell me that vitamin E supplements cause cancer. Can you explain this? Thanks so much.
