Endometriosis Exercise Video can promote healing...

Should you exercise or shouldn't you? I am asked this question quite often.

Never an obsessive amount of exercise, but just enough to move the blood and fluids in your body. There are great exercises for endo, I will insert a video on a few moves that are incredible for stretching and breaking up the webbing that occurs inside the reproductive area.

How I Overcame Endometriosis

Who knows when I had enough symptoms to label it early stages Endometriosis, I suspect about the age of 25. From my first period at age 14 and then on I was plagued by heavy periods. I can’t remember a period that didn’t involve Super Plus tampons, or horrible maxi size pads used to give oneself a break. It wasn’t till my late twenties I noticed changes in my cycle, from the heavy, clotting, and exhausted during menses, to very painful days throughout the month, in particular ovulation. Ouch.

About the age of 30 and at the start of my marriage, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. Life spiraled down very quickly from there. I had many ultra-sounds to monitor my ever-expanding ovaries. After a few years I lamented and had surgery to remove my endometriosis. The doctor performed a laparotomy (same type of incision as a C-section) and discovered my endometriosis was all over my intestines, cul-de-sac, and had impacted the inside of my ovaries. My ovaries were 3-4 times their normal size and was causing great pain each month during ovulation. The doctors removed as much endometriosis as she could. She told me she laid my intestines out on a table to try and pick the endometriosis off. In the end, she said there were too many small deposits and she would use a drug for the last bits remaining.

Useless Surgery and Medications

I was immediately put on Lupron. At the time, this drug was not quite out on the market, and I had to sign (my life away) saying I agreed to a variety of possible side effects. I didn’t really understand that I was part of a test group for the drug. They hadn't yet discovered Lupron devastates the calcium in our bones...irreplaceable. Not knowing this, I stayed on Lupron for 6 months and watched my fingernails and toenails deteriorate rapidly. Lupron puts you into false menopause so you have no periods, allowing the endometriosis to dry up. After a 6 month prescription and no period due to the drug, my first period after the Lupron was back to its old self, very painful and no different than my past periods!

Doctor Says This Can’t BE!

I called my physician and said I didn't feel good. She said it couldn’t be endometriosis, it was scar tissue and not to worry. The next month the pain was back again. To quiet me down the doctor ordered an ultra-sound. When she received my results she told me she literally ran to the Endocrinology department and said "how can this be?" The endocrinologist looked at my ultra-sound and told her "there are some people you just can't help." All my endometriosis was back and even worse than before surgery!

I was told it's now or never if you want to try and have a baby. I went through a miscarriage, but became pregnant again (don't ask me how) and I delivered a healthy baby boy. Breast feeding typically prevents you from having a period. As soon as I stopped breast feeding my period came back I found myself on the bathroom floor again in pain. My physician asked me to prepare for a hysterectomy. My case was very aggressive, like a freight train out of control.

A New Friend Saved my Life

Soon after I went to visit a new girlfriend, Kathleen. This was a life changing point in my life. I sat in her car complaining of my endometriosis woe's, when she turned to me and said, "You should go see my nutritionist, she'll fix you." Well, what else did I have to loose? My uterus was on the line! I had tried homeopathy for a year, but it never worked deep enough. Nutrition never occurred to me. Didn't I eat right? How hard is it to figure out food?

Specializing Beyond Nutrition

What I didn't realize was some nutritionist's have specialties. Well, after 2-3 visits to the nutritionist I knew I struck gold. It finally all made sense, my mind was opened up to a whole new way of viewing the body. I made an agreement with my nutritionist that I would remain on a birth control pill for 6 months, since my endometriosis was growing rapidly it was all I could do to contain it, and I was too scared to stop my birth control pill for fear of the pain returning. At the end of 6 months, with a lot of trepidation I went off the pill. My endometriosis was gone!

Back to School I Go

I decided to follow in the footsteps of my nutritionist and applied to the university she had attended. Five years later I had a B.S. in Clinical Nutrition and during the five years of school I honed in on endometriosis as my own personal study emphasis. I finished healing my own body and along the way learned much more about detoxification and specific organ depletion.

I have been endometriosis free for 13 years, and no, I do not have any signs or symptoms of the disease. I do not take supplements to prevent the endometriosis from returning. I eat a balanced diet and like most of us enjoy dessert when given the first opportunity.

LIFE IS GOOD!
