This tissue swells and bleeds in conjunction with a woman's monthly menstrual cycle and may cause pain, nausea, heavy bleeding, pain during intercourse and occasionally, infertility. While allopaths usually prescribe synthetic estrogen in the form of birth control pills, Naturopaths often prescribe natural plant phytoestrogens which are much weaker. In both therapies the goal is to block the estrogen receptor sites to reduce the effect of the woman's own hormones. There are diverse theories about the causes of this condition. Some point to evidence that links it to immune system damage caused by estrogen-like environmental pollutants such as specific pesticides. Immune-suppressing drugs are also often considered causative. Tampons and IUDs are also suggested as contributing causes. Many authorities recommend avoidance of alcohol, dairy foods, caffeine, fried foods, red meat, commercially-raised chicken, sugar, salt and eggs. These authorities actually recommend this regimen for virtually anyone suffering from nearly any chronic ill health. They are probably correct in these suggestions as these foods are probably unhealthy when eaten often or in large amounts. Red meats, dairy products and eggs can be found hormone-free in which case I believe they can be kept in the diet of a patient with endometriosis. Commercial chickens are loaded with estrogen-mimickers. But I have not seen any proof of a relationship between the salt, sugar, fried foods, or alcohol with endometriosis. Soybeans provide two estrogen-like compounds. Soy can be taken as supplements or easily eaten in the form of tofu, tempeh, miso and soy sauce (I prefer Bragg's liquid amino acids personally - not fermented like other soy sauces, tastier and more concentrated so actually cheaper in the long run). Miso, which is fermented in the processing, is used to season foods or to make sauces or soup stocks. It is inexpensive and easy to use. My favorite is called Mugi Miso - this is the type that is made with barley. Lately there has been some information being passed around that purports soy to not be so very healthy when eaten often in large amounts. But the Asian women eat a good bit every day and this is also my recommendation. For therapeutic purposes I suggest a supplement for a few months and then gradually reducing its use to rely instead on diet for daily maintenance when possible, saving the supplement for days when it is not possible to eat any soy. Of the two phytoestrogens in soy, Genistein seems to be the most active and this one is found in most beans, such as pinto, yellow split peas, black-eyed peas, lima black turtle, mung and kidney beans. In fact, this compound increases its content when any of these beans are sprouted, which also makes them more digestible. I heartily endorse Duke's suggestion to simply eat beans as regularly as you possibly can. And include bean sprouts in sandwiches, salads, sprinkled on soups or casseroles. However you can consume them on a daily basis. Bean soups are wonderful. Mexican and Cuban style meals always include a lot of beans. Alfalfa sprouts also contain phytoestrogens and they are also excellent on salads, sandwiches and various vegetable casseroles. Do NOT however, eat Alfalfa Sprouts if you suffer from Lupus as it can act as a triggering substance for susceptible persons. Evening Primrose (oenothera biennis ) Oil contains gamma-linolenic acid and tryptophan which promote good health in women especially. Although it is used most commonly to help treat PMS, it is also considered a specific, by many midwives and herbalists, for endometriosis as well. Should be used in conjunction with Flaxseed Oil which has a higher Omega-3 content to help balance the Omega 6 found in the EPO. I recommend 1 tablespoon of each oil taken daily, with meals. Preferably with a sulphur-containing amino acid such as yogurt or cottage cheese. and the oils taste good mixed with these. also in a 50-50 mixture with olive oil as a base for salads and pasta. Flaxseed contains a lot of lignans which have been proven to help control cancer of the endometrium and the breast. Cancers are overgrowing tissue, so Duke suggests it is a good bet that these lignans will help with endometriosis as well, though I know of no studies to back up Duke's opinion. Duke's other suggestion is one I have not seen anywhere before and it is intriguing at the very least. He points out that Spanish peanuts contain an abundance of oligomeric procyanidins, "substances that also may help control hormone-dependent cancers and possibly endometriosis. And, of course, all peanuts are actually beans, not nuts at all. They contain many of the same health promoting nutrients that the other beans contain. |
