Endometriosis Healing Testimonies



Below you will find a collection of brief stories and testimonies of women who have achieved healing from Endometriosis to one degree or another. Some women have obtained complete freedom from the disease, some have had a lot of relief from the pain and symptoms, while others have measured their success by their ability to achieve a successful pregnancy.

All the stories relate to women who have achieved their healing with the aid and support of alternative or natural therapies. I have put this list together to give you more inspiration and hope that it is possible for you also to gain healing from Endometriosis.

I have omitted the surnames of the women to protect their privacy. There are references to alternative health practitioners, and I trust they will be totally happy with their inclusion in these messages.

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/ .

July 2004 - This is a brief but complete story of another success of healing followed by pregnancy after 25 years of suffering from endometriosis. You can read the story here




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 ˝ 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 ˝ 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. Frances Age 30




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!" -V.M., legal assistant




Herbal testimonial

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 God. --- Bobbi , Bowling Green, KY




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

"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 cream I 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 one night. Imagine all the stories that have not been included in the 'information super-highway' of the internet.

Imagine 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.
