From the stories submitted here at Endo Resolved
A positive story of healing/remission and pregnancy from Kara which reflects the advice here at Endo Resolved Combination: Detox, exercise, herbs & diet change! It took me a long time to find out what was causing me so much pain. I had had many doctors tell me it was "all in my head" and I finally went online to find answers and decided from my symptoms I probably had endometriosis. Laparoscopy confirmed it Jan of 2008. I felt pretty hopeless as supposedly there was no cure and hormonal treatments caused terrible side effects. When I had had enough of Western medicine i went back to trying alternatives. I started with a candida diet and the herb pao de arco (a fungicide) then introduced probiotics after 1 month. My yeast problems have never returned. Then I started using a sauna and taking Spirulina (spirulina can spead up the detoxing for dioxins) to further detox, when i felt a little better, i began to walk, then jog, and did yoga with an Iyengar teacher who could help me with my condition. I went vegan (milk is especially bad for me!) and cook completely from scratch (otherwise there is too much salt for my bloating!). I bought a capsule maker and started a mix of cramp bark and valerian root capsules for my constant 24/7 cramping. I heard about a small study on Maritime Pine Bark and began taking 2 capsules a day--this is a wonder herb!! I cut out any parabens in my toiletries. Then I added to this almost daily intakeof berries (or other anti-inflammatory fruit), olive oil for cooking almost exclusively, plus flax seed oil in my oatmeal etc. I also found out that yerba mate helped a ton with my allergies (also a side-problem assoc. with endo...) and drank that 2X a week to keep my sinuses less swollen and my bloating from endo down. plus a ton of water each day!! Was feeling a ton better and was back to doing pretty much all my normal activities by Jan. of 2009! i couldn't believe it, after only 1 year!! Decided to get pregnant and I did after only 1 month of trying! Now in remission. if i can do it, you can too! There really is nothing more precious than a healthy body! Kara Jan 2011

Endometriosis and homeopathy testimonial
"For many years I have suffered from endometriosis. Following several exploratory operations the endometriosis was found to be extensive and a hysterectomy seemed inevitable if I wanted to be free of pain. My GP prescribed pain killers and hormone treatments which were unsuccessful as a cure. In 1999 (aged 37) I was given painful ‘Zoladex’ injections for 6 months (maximum allowed). This was injected into my stomach and again proved to be unsuccessful. Determined not to undergo any further invasive treatment I discussed my condition with Denise, my homeopath.”
Denise discussed my case history with me in full and was not at all fazed by what I considered to be a complicated medical past. I stuck rigidly to the remedies prescribed and regularly attended progress sessions with Denise. The side effects were minimal and almost immediately I was pain free. I have had only one relapse in five years which Denise quickly identified and treated. I no longer need a hysterectomy.Thanks to homeopathy I can now lead a pain free life and work full time."J.M. Telford.

Infertility, Endometriosis, Severe PMS, and Morning Sickness
The next case is from a 1995 article in Resonance, the publication of the International Foundation for Homeopathy. We present this case because the conventional medical approaches to infertility due to endometriosis are extreme--surgery, hormone-prescribing, or the inducing of premature menopause. This case is an excellent reminder of how gen-tle, yet powerful, homeopathy can be.
Lucy, age 29, came in on November 26, 1991 with endometriosis. She had undergone laparoscopic surgery a year and a half earlier to remove endometrial tissue in the area of the rectum and tailbone. She had been infertile for the previous three years and wanted very much to have a child. She had miscarried three and a half years earlier. Although she had been ingesting significant amounts of alcohol during the pregnancy, subsequently she was in recovery and free of alcohol.
Lucy told her story as follows: “My PMS is ridiculous. I get really critical and do not tolerate other people's imperfections. I try not to take it out on others, but inside, I'm convinced that they're idiots! I can't even stand the way my husband breathes. I snap at my husband and tell him to give me my space.” Elaborating on her severe PMS, Lucy recounted the following: “I have massive water retention. My eyelids get puffy, and my abdomen bloats. My breasts become terribly sore, and my uterus feels heavy--like a rock. I have an awareness of the ligament that goes to my ovary during sex before my period, as well as low back pain. It feels as if all the blood has been drawn out of my back. I also feel a sharp pain inside my rectum then and also when I bear down during a bowel movement. My periods are regular now. I was bulimic for about five years. I didn't have any periods for four of those years. At that time, I flowed heavily for three or four days. I had to put in a tampon every hour or two. My periods are okay now, except my uterus hurts when I put in a tampon. My bulimia lasted from age 19 to 25. I only ate a small amount of cottage cheese every day. Then I vomited at night. From age 21 to 26,1 drank all day. I started drinking when I was 17. I drank hard liquor for the first four years, then cheap white wine. I would drink half a gallon in two days. [We noticed that Lucy sighed frequently as she recounted her symptoms.] My knees are often sore. I can only stand in one spot without moving for about five minutes. I have to crack my knees often. It's hard to sit in movies or a car. It's as if my knees don't fit where they're supposed to. I've been this way ever since I was 12. My knees ache the day before it rains, and I can't crawl around on them on the floor. [In addition, she complained of wrist weakness exacerbated by lifting or twisting.] I'm chilly. My hands and feet are always cold, but hot weather makes me cranky. I can't handle cold, damp weather. I broke my ankle about five years ago. When it snows, it still really hurts."
Lucy had been diagnosed with anemia beginning at age 12 and often had to take iron. Upon further questioning, she informed us that her ankle fracture did not heal quickly. During cold, snowy weather, it felt as if an ice cube were sitting in the middle of her foot exactly where it was fractured. She had also suffered from severe nosebleeds, lasting up to four hours, as a child. These continued, with some frequency, until she was 22 years old. Lucy also reported a tendency to bruise easily. She also experienced an unusually frequent number of dental cavities while growing up.
Lucy expressed a great fear of spiders. In fact, she would sweat, shake, and become paralyzed upon seeing a spider on television. She couldn't even talk about them. Lucy also feared that her husband would leave her, and she could become quite jealous, even though he gave her no reason to mistrust him. Towards the end of the case-taking, Lucy remarked that she experienced tremendous trauma at 12 years of age when her parents separated: “It was horrible for me. My world blew apart. There were four of us. That's when I started doing drugs. I quit high school in my senior year and got my G.E.D. My father is still alcoholic. My mother is from an alcoholic family. All three of my siblings are in recovery."
We prescribed Calcarea phosphorica (calcium phosphate) based on the recurrent symptoms from a previous fracture, persistent knee pain, wrist weakness, anemia, dental caries, premenstrual symptoms, and trauma resulting from "bad news."We prescribed a dose of Calcarea phosphorica 200c and saw Lucy again five weeks later. She reported that, surprisingly, her recent period had been free of PMS symptoms, both physical and emotional. Sex was pain-free. The shooting rectal pain was gone. She hadn't had such an easy period in years. "Is this too good to be true?" Her husband couldn't believe it either. Nor had she gained her usual five to seven pounds before her period. She had absolutely no premenstrual irritability. Her knees were a little better. Her energy was increased. She felt less jealous. All in all, we considered this to be a very good report.
When we saw Lucy again, four-and-a-half months after her first appointment, her main complaint was nausea from pregnancy. She was very excited about being pregnant, but felt miserable with flu-like nausea beginning the moment she woke up in the morning. "I feel like I'm going to die." Some of Lucy's previous symptoms had recurred, including her irritability, impatience with her husband, sharp rectal pain, and low back pain. She even experienced, once again, a twinge of jealousy for the first time since the taking the initial dose of the calcium phosphate. Lucy noticed that she had begun again to sigh frequently. We repeated the Calcarea phosphorica 200c.
Lucy called a week later to say she was feeling much less nauseous and irritable. Lucy's pregnancy continued happily, and she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. That little girl is now sixteen and continues to respond to the same homeopathic medicine she needed as a child. Lucy went on, a couple of years following her daughter's birth, to need Theridion, made from the orange spider. She continues, years later, to benefit from the same medicine."

Healing of Endometriosis In 1997 I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I was only 32 years old at the time. I was feeling tired, moody and experiencing two menstrual cycles per month, each lasting for seven days at a time, with heavy bleeding.
After seeing a gynecologist, he suggested I have an operation to fix the problem. I was not keen to have the operation, so I made an appointment to see Dr. Issam. After the first Ajna healing session I began to feel better – my moodiness seemed to lift. By the second visit, I started to feel more energetic. By the sixth visit, I started having regular periods again.
I made another appointment to see the gynecologist to check my condition. He was astonished, there was no sign whatsoever of the endometriosis. The healing performed by Dr. Issam had cured the problem. Today (three years later) my cycle is still regular and I no longer suffer from mood swings.

Endometriosis and Infertility From: www.naturalmedicineus.com
Laurie was 33 when she first saw us. She suffered from severe abdominal pains for half of the month and her periods were extremely heavy. Laurie told us that her condition made it impossible for her to work or socialize for 10 days out of every month. She had been diagnosed with Endometriosis and told by her gynecologist that she will have to have her uterus and ovaries removed. She and her husband had been trying to get pregnant for the last 3 years with no results.
After doing a couple of tests for minerals and fatty acids levels, we established a special diet and supplement program and a series of micro-current treatments.
Within a month of treatment, there was an obvious change. Her second menstrual period was a lot lighter and less painful and within 4 months of starting treatment she reported only minor pains and only one heavy day of menses.
Eight months after the initial visit, Laurie called to tell us was pregnant. A healthy baby boy was born few months later.

Endometriosis pain treated with acupuncture From:www.tigerlilyacupuncture.com/testimonials
I am a 25 year old female that has been through 4 Laparoscopic surgeries for Endometriosis and a variety of cysts in the past 4 years. (Yeah, I know, that) averaging one surgery every year. It was not fun, and it was slowly pushing me into depression. I was in a constant cycle of being in pain, fearing the surgery, healing, and then being back in pain.) I remember being so frustrated and no one was able to give me any options outside of having to do these surgeries on an annual basis, even experimental drugs weren't giving me any relief from the constant pain and fatigue.
When I was finally at my wit's end and got tired of hearing people tell me there was nothing left to do, I had a friend of mine give me Doug Rutkowski's card and told me to give it a try. Well, of course I went into all of the excuses of being too busy, I was going to be moving, I had just gotten a new job. Where was I supposed to fit in something new? So, a few weeks passed and it was now around 6 months after my last surgery, and the pain from the endometriosis was getting unbearable. The doctors kept telling me that they had never seen someone so young with such an aggressive case. (Yep, I'm special, what can I say.) They asked for me to try and hold out for as long as I could and they gave me pain medicine to try and keep me functional, and told me that when it got too bad that we would schedule another surgery.
Well, now I was angry and frustrated with my doctors enough to give Tigerlily Acupuncture a call. I was greatly relieved when I found out that Doug would take appointments on Saturdays! I could actually make this fit into my schedule. Doug was so nice and sincere when discussing my past medical history, and he said he could help! He's been treating me for the Endometriosis for a little over 3 months and I am completely pain free! This September will be one year since my last surgery and I am going to celebrate! It's such a relief to be out of the constant pain, but even more of a relief because I'm able to move on with my life.
Not only is Doug good at what he does, but he really cares. If you've had a bad day, he's always got a joke to make you smile. I am so thankful that I found my way to Tigerlily Acupuncture; they have given me a pain free present, and hope for a pain free future!
Sincerely, Janna W.

Chinese Medicine Testimonials From website testimonials
"I started seeing Teja during an extremely traumatic time almost twelve months ago. I give credit to my mother for finding him, because she is the one who was given his name, called him and asked him whether he could help her daughter—he said yes. This was a word that I hadn’t heard before—from any doctor or health practitioner—and it gave me a small hope that things might start to get better. I was suffering from severe endometriosis, bowel and stomach problems and depression and anxiety. The solution for the endometriosis that was offered to me was a complete hysterectomy and a bowel resection, a remedy so extreme at my age that I viewed it as a last resort. From the very first week, both the acupuncture and Teja’s advice started making a positive difference in my life. Since Teja started treating me, the pain from the endometriosis has become infinitely more bearable and the debilitating stomach and bowel problems have decreased significantly and continue to improve. Throughout my treatment and to this day, I have felt supported emotionally by Teja, who listens and guides with a wonderful combination of empathy, intelligence, calmness, patience and gentle humour. I have also benefited from Jacinda’s advice and recipes and have experienced a wonderful warmth from their family that has been a much appreciated source of happiness in my life. I sincerely and strongly recommend Traditional Chinese Medicine and Point Specifics for women suffering from endometriosis, who have found that Western treatment options leave them with little hope and do not make a noticeable difference in their condition."

Acupuncture and Pain Treatment From website testimonials
In 1999 I was diagnosed with Endometriosis. This was the most painful experience of my life. I would over take different medicine, but nothing worked. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't work, I just could not function. I went through Lupron injections, surgery, narcotics, but the pain still remained. I ended up having to quit my job in Texas and moved to California with my Mom. I was in my mid- twenties and unable to take care of myself. One day my Mom took me to see Dr. Ting and my life changed. Just after a few sessions I started to notice a change. Eventually I went from taking up to 10 pills a day to zero. I'm truly amazed at how far I've come. Not only am I back at work, but I am also a full-time student. I thought I would be dealing with debilitating pain for the rest of my life, but Dr. Ting changed that. She is truly a blessing to me.

Massage helps with endometriosis and infertility GAINESVILLE, Fla., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ --
Struggling with years of infertility can be stressful and heartbreaking. But the battle is over for three friends who credit their success to a new "fertility massage."
Alexandra, Angie, and Cathleen all attribute their children to a patent protected massage therapy called the Wurn Technique(R). The therapy, which uses no drugs or surgery, appears to decrease adhesions and scar tissue that cause half of all female infertility, according to physical therapist Belinda Wurn, co-developer. (See http://www.clearpassage.com/ )
"We use our hands to find adhered areas in and around a woman's reproductive organs," said Belinda Wurn. "We apply a sophisticated 'massage' to free the reproductive tissues from adhesions that prevent proper function and cause infertility."
The therapy's effectiveness was recently chronicled in Medscape General Medicine, Ob/Gyn & Women's Health. The peer-reviewed journal reported 71% of infertile women conceived within one year after the treatments without any further medical or surgical intervention. A second study followed women who received in vitro fertilization (IVF) transfer after therapy. Two-thirds (67%) of the transfers resulted in pregnancy, beating the 41% national average reported by the CDC.
But for the three friends, pregnancy came without surgical intervention.Alexandra was the first of the three friends to discover the therapy's success. With one blocked fallopian tube, and the other tube scarred and adhered from a C-section, her physician told her it was unlikely she would ever conceive again. Yet, she has had two children since therapy and is now pregnant again. "I recommended the therapy to my friend Angie who had been struggling with infertility for so long," Alexandra said.
Angie was infertile for five years, with a history of endometriosis, miscarriages and seven failed intrauterine inseminations (IUI). But after receiving the new therapy, Angie also conceived naturally, and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. "I know that the therapy is what my body needed to be successful," Angie said. She called her friend, Cathleen.
Cathleen was given a 5% chance of ever becoming pregnant, even with IVF. Her tubes were scarred and her fimbriae were clubbed with adhesions. After five years of infertility, and four IVF attempts, she was crushed. She had never had a single pregnancy. "Angie bugged me to try the therapy so I finally went. A few months after therapy, to my utter amazement, I was pregnant," Cathleen said. Cathleen also gave birth to a little girl.
"We are very excited about the results we are seeing with our therapy. At least 60 babies have already been born or are presently expected by women who were diagnosed infertile," said massage therapist Larry Wurn, co-developer of the Wurn Technique(R) and Director of Clinical Studies at Clear Passage Therapies, Inc.
Clear Passage is opening specialized clinics to provide the therapy in metropolitan Washington DC at year-end 2004. They plan to open in Los Angeles, Manhattan and Chicago in 2005. For more information, contact http://www.clearpassage.com/ .

Acupuncture testimonial
"... endometriosis, left ovary, lower back ... battling the daily pain. My stomach
was constantly bloated from inflammation ... left me so nauseated and robbed
my desire to eat ... previous surgery with no success as endometriosis keeps
growing back. I had refused synthetic hormone treatments and any further
surgery including hysterectomy. Finally in a leap of faith my prayers led me to
Paula.
Changes soon began to happen. The acupuncture significantly began reducing
the pain in my back and ovary. The bloating began to subside too. Acupressure
and color therapy ... allergy treatment program ... noticed an even greater
improvement in my health and immune system ... I was totally pain free ...
scars from old adhesions had also disappeared ... Paula
remembered where the scar tissue lumps had been and said she couldn't feel
them anymore without even knowing about my own personal discovery that they
were indeed gone. This personal attention and desire to heal her clients truly
sets her apart from other physicians who are lucky to even remember your name.

Acupuncture testimonial
Acupuncture has touched my life in a miraculous way. My husband and I
always knew we wanted children and never thought we would have problems
conceiving. After a year of trying on our own to get pregnant, we went to an
infertility clinic. We found out I had endometriosis and went through another 1
½ years of medical intervention, including two failed cycles of invitro-
fertilization. Two months before my final IVF treatment, my former supervisor,
who has Lupus, suggested I see Tracy because she had helped her with her
disease. After witnessing my supervisor's health improvement, I immediately
made an appointment. During my initial visit, Tracy informed me of many
things I was doing in my everyday life to harm my body. She helped me
change my diet and improve my overall health and well-being. Needless to
say after two months of acupuncture treatments, I became pregnant. My little
miracle is 2 ½ years old now and I will always be extremely grateful to Tracy.

Acupuncture testimonial
I had pain and bleeding due to endometriosis. Before the treatment I had bleeding everyday for the
past eight months, the pain was unbearable and my back was beginning to hurt-could not sleep well at
night.
I had laparoscopic surgery, strong birth control medicine, vibrational therapy, everything that could
be done-next step would be to either get pregnant, or have a hysterectomy and end the chronic
symptoms.
I was told that it would take 10 treatments before I would begin to see results. I was prepared-this was
my last option-because if this didn't work I would have the surgery. After the first treatment, I slept
great for the first time in months. The next day my bleeding stopped and so did the chronic pain. I
went to my M.D. who was treating me for my endometriosis and he said that I can now begin to have
monthly periods and that all seems to be fine.
I believe that alternative medicine should be used with treatment of any medical problem. I think the
medical community needs to embrace and accept all alternative medicines and work with the
practitioners of these fields. There is more than one way to cure a disease.

Homeopathy testimonial
My family and I have all been greatly helped by Krista Voysest and homeopathy.
In 1995 I was diagnosed with endometriosis, I failed to respond to hormone
therapy and because I had had two c-sections, my insurance informed me that
they would not cover surgery because the risk of a medical emergency was too
great. I did not have the money to pay cash for surgery, so I began to resign
myself to a life of spending most of my time in so much pain I could not
function. At this point, a friend introduced me to Krista. She found the right
remedy for me, and I began to improve immediately. My endometriosis has been
entirely cured, and I am in better health than ever.

Naturopathy testimonial
"Naturopathy cleared my endometriosis"
Catherine, consultant, aged 32
It is easy to feel a victim, not in the least because my GP couldn’t help me with my endometriosis. It
was making my life hell and my husband was at his last tether. Undaunted and in the profound belief
that all illnesses can be cured I sought Naturopathic help.
I was given a new dietary regimen – no dairy, meat, or eggs, and no white refined products such as
pasta, white bread, and white rice. No ready-made meals. Sound drastic – it was in the beginning.
I had to learn how to cook properly. We eat plenty of fresh organic vegetables and whole grains foods
now. Yes my husband supported the diet change all the way. I was given herbs to cleanse and detox
the body, particularly the liver, and to regulate my menstrual cycle. My Naturopath told me most
gynaecological problems stem from liver imbalance.
My condition improved fabulously, which was very noticeable with each month. My overall health is
now better than ever and completely clear of the former condition.
I am so impressed I am taking up the study of Naturopathy to help others.

Acupuncture and Herbal Testimonial
This is but one of the many success stories Dr. Martin frequently hears from his patients:
"In July, I went to the doctor and he gave me an ultrasound test. He said he saw
something which might be a small cyst in the uterus. About a month later I went to
another doctor and he said it was endometriosis and that there were also some
fibroids.
I heard Dr. Martin on the radio one evening and called to see if he could treat fibroids. He
gave me several bottles of herbal tablets and some homeopathic medicines, along with
weekly accupuncture treatments.
After two months, I went back to the doctor for an ultrasound test and he said that there
were no fibroids or cysts. I thank Dr. Martin for helping to cure me and am now a firm
believer in the value of accupuncture & herbs!"

July 2002 Testimonial:
"A friend of mine has been trying to get pregnant for over two years. Her gynecologist diagnosed a thyroid problem
and Endometriosis, but never prescribed medication to correct these problems, thank goodness! After seeing
Reuben Schwartz and taking T-w and Red Clover Blended for six months, not only did her condition improve, she
is now two months pregnant. Also, my 13 year old daughter went to Reuben with Endometriosis in October of
2001. She had been complaining of abdominal pain frequently. After several months of the Red Clover Blended
she is now pain free. I am so thankful we caught this early. Reuben Schwartz and Pure Herbs are truly gifts from

Noni Juice testimonial
Coos Bay, OR...
I have had endometriosis for years, and it was extremely painful and limiting in my case. I was put on an unusually
high dosage of Depo-Provera injections to stop it -- 400 mg per ml, injected monthly. The average dose for women
seeking birth control (its most popular use) is 100 mg, injected once every three months. Prior to the injections, my
iron would drop so low each month that I was being considered for long-term hospitalisation. I would have
excruciating pain and be out of commission three weeks out of four. Recently, my new physician insisted that I stop
the injections, due to the discovery that Depo-Provera can cause osteoporosis. I had experienced some major bone
breakage in the last year and increased knee problems. I immediately stopped taking it, though terrified that I
would return to my previous life of pain and limitation. It has been three months since my last injection in late July
and I am delighted to report that, to this date, I am suffering no ill effects. My iron level remains healthy and
stable. The one difference in my life is that, in early August, I began drinking Noni juice. Please note that prior to
the Depo-Provera treatment, many things were tried with no positive results. Noni has helped in several areas of
my life, and I believe this is another example of the power of this amazing fruit! In my case, I believe drinking
Noni made all the difference. Have a great Noni day!

Progesterone cream testimonial April 18, 2003 Testimonial from website of Dr Bonnie Travis
"I have struggled with endometriosis for over 10 years. It's been very painful and frustrating. After many different medical procedures and treatments throughout these years, I decided in 2002 I was going to try something different. When I mentioned it to Dr. Bonnie one day, she suggested I try the natural progesterone creamI was a little nervous but decided I couldn't be any worse off than I already was, so I began using the cream in June of 2002. I stopped taking birth control pills for my endometriosis and gave 110% to the Natural Progesterone Cream. According to the literature Dr. Bonnie had given me, it was clear it would take up to 6 months before really noticing a whole lot of difference. Well, in about 5 months I started feeling relief from the pain, and my monthly cycles became more regular. After about 7 months, I was feeling better than I ever had with any of the medical treatments. One of the side effects of endometriosis for me was the inability to conceive children without the help of medical professionals. I am blessed with two wonderful kids, but had to have extensive surgeries and such to conceive them. Around October 2002, my husband and I decided that we would like to have one more child. I really wanted this but was very reluctant to go through everything I had to do previously to get pregnant. Not only is it painful and invasive, but very expensive. After being on the Progesterone Cream for 8 months, taking whole food supplements and lots of prayer, I am now happily 4 months pregnant and am so grateful to have conceived completely naturally without any medical intervention. I do plan on going back on the cream after the baby is born to help control my endometriosis.

Herbal testimonial
"I've suffered with Endometriosis since I was sixteen and I am now thirty something. Back in 1991, my doctor told
me I would have to have a surgical procedure to remove the damaged tissue. So I did. After the surgery I found out
that the surgeons removed what they could, but on my left side they were unable to remove the damaged tissue
which was wrapped around my bowel, fallopian tube, and ovary. They said this would require about ten hours of
surgery. I decided to look into other options. I decided to wait on more surgery since one month after the original
surgery the junk that was removed was back. The doctors put me on hormone replacement for about 6 months
which I was told 'might help, but no guarantees'. Of course, this hormone replacement just made me a crazy
woman with hot flashes and did nothing to help with the Endometriosis. My doctor then decided to put me on a
continuous cycle of birth control so I could decide when I wanted to suffer with the relentless pain. He
recommended I only have a period two times per year. So up until February of 2003, this is what I did. I still did
have pain during my cycles, but it was only really bad pain for a day or two. I finally grew tired and worried about
being on the birth control for so many years, especially since it was not completely helping me with the unbearable
cramping. So I went off of it. Since I do the Newsletters here at Pure Herbs, Ltd. and see all of the testimonials that
come in, I knew we had about four testimonials on Red Clover Blended helping women in the same situation as
me. I had tried it years ago, but not faithfully and not long enough. I decided to really give it a go! By May 2003, I
had NO UNBEARABLE CRAMPS for the first time since I was 16, over half of my lifetime. I couldn't believe it,
but told all of my friends, co-workers and family members. Dr. Watkins, of course, wanted me to print my
testimonial in our Newsletter. I said I would after waiting one more month to be sure this was for real. Well, as you
can read from my testimonial, it worked. Two beautiful months in a row of no cramps and looking forward to a life
without those awful days! I am truly grateful to Reuben Schwartz for all of the testimonials his clients sent in
which he had helped them with their Endometriosis. I am also grateful to Dr. Watkins and Pure Herbs because
without this job, I may never have known about Red Clover Blended and might have had more surgeries than I
want to think about. Since February 2003, I have also taken Can-Sol capsules (one or two/day), Oregon Grape (one
droper full daily) and 1 cup, about 6 ounces of "green drink" in addition to the Red Clover blended. These seem to
be halping with my Fibromyalgia and I'm sure my Endometriosis too! So if the Red Clover Blended alone doesn't
work for you, add these other products. I hope every woman out there with Endometriosis will try this and not have
to suffer any longer!"

Have these stories left you more uplifted, more confident, and with more hope that you too can regain your health and possibly be rid of Endometriosis.There are millions of women who are following the conventional, modern drug therapy route to try and get some relief from the symptoms and pain of Endometriosis. If you have been reading the messages left at any of the Endometriosis message boards, you will see that many of these women are having very little success. If they do have success, then it is only temporary. The central aim of natural and alternative therapies to treat Endometriosis is to achieve permanent respite, not just temporary relief. These stories above will be just the tip of the iceberg of the real number of women who have gained healing using natural therapies. These are just the ones I found on the internet in a couple of nights. Imagine all the stories that have not been included in the 'information super-highway' of the internet. Consider all those offices around the world belonging to alternative practitioners, where there are notes belonging to women patients that have been successfully treated for Endometriosis. Just imagine...... that could be a lot of happy ending stories.
