prescription or cure of any disease or health condition.
This
is an unusual health condition.
What occurs is that tissue outside of the uterus starts to act like
uterine lining or endometrial tissue.
This means that it
becomes sensitive
to the quantity of circulating estrogens.
This
tissue is often located in the abdomen, although rarely it is elsewhere. It can be in the reproductive tract,
such as in the Fallopian tubes or around the ovaries.
This
aberrant tissue swells up with blood as the level of estrogen rises during each
menstrual cycle. Then, when the
estrogen level falls just before the menstrual period begins, the aberrant
tissue releases the blood and shrinks, just as does normal uterine lining.
SYMPTOMS
The
main symptoms are pain, cramping, and a bloated feeling that coincides with the
menstrual cycle. The pain and other
symptoms can be anywhere in the abdomen, though usually they are in the lower
abdomen.
Infertility
occurs n about one-third of women with the condition.
CAUSES
Medical
science does not know the cause of endometriosis. They theorize that perhaps cells that are shed with the
menstrual blood flow backwards up the fallopian tubes and out into the
pelvis. Another theory is that
embryonic cells change into endometrial cells somehow.
CORRECTION
Their
remedies for it are symptomatic such as pain killers, hormone therapy to change
the menstrual cycle, or surgery to remove the aberrant tissue.
NUTRITIONAL BALANCING RESEARCH
Our
research indicates that:
1. The aberrant tissue is not that different from normal
pelvic tissues. The normal pelvic tissues become too sensitive to estrogen, and perhaps to other female hormones.
2. Copper imbalance may be involved. The change in the pelvic tissue may be
related to copper imbalance. I say
this because women with endometriosis always have a fairly severe copper
imbalance on their hair mineral tests.
However,
it is sometimes tricky to identify, because the hair tissue copper level can be
normal. Also, the serum copper and
serum ceruloplasmin may also be normal or near normal.
One
must look for signs of hidden copper toxicity, which are discussed below and in
the article entitled Copper Toxicity
Syndrome on this website.
Correcting
the copper imbalance can help reverse endometriosis. Based on just a few cases, as the copper balance improves
due to a nutritional balancing program, the sensitivity of the pelvic tissues
to estrogen decreases.
Just
Òlowering copperÓ is not enough, however.
A complete nutritional balancing program is needed, in my experience, as
it is more comprehensive.
As
the copper balance improves, and general health improves with a program, the
so-called metastatic endometrial tissue or aberrant tissue seems to change back
into normal pelvic tissue. That is
our observation. No hormone
therapy or surgery are needed if the copper balance is corrected.
3. Trauma. Some women with endometriosis have
experienced pelvic trauma such as rape.
4. A calcium shell pattern. Most women with endometriosis have a calcium
shell pattern on their hair mineral test.
This is associated with excessive copper and with trauma.
5. Fearful. Women with endometriosis may be more
fearful. This is also associated
with excessive copper in the body.
