Endometriosis: Attacking the Root Causes

[ladiife]

Endometriosis is described as affecting approximately 190 million reproductive age women and girls worldwide, according to the WHO. Doctors don't know what causes endometriosis, but some theories include the spread of endometrial tissue through the blood or lymphatic system. It is said to be a chronic diseases that causes pain during: periods, bowel movements, urination, and sexual intercourse. 

Infertility can result from this disease. Woman often suffer from depression, anxiety, and loss in income; withdrawal from loved ones and avoidance of intimacy are common behaviors due to the pain and discomfort of this ailment.

 

Oftentimes, lesions form. These lesions or scar tissue are categorized into the following: 

 

• superficial endometriosis found mainly on the pelvic peritoneum
• cystic ovarian endometriosis (endometrioma) found in the ovaries
• deep endometriosis found in the recto-vaginal septum, bladder, and bowel
• in rare cases, endometriosis has also been found outside the pelvis.

Since conventional medicine has not found the cause of this ailment, it uses various methods to control symptoms. Treatment varies, from medication to surgery. Birth control  and pain killers are often prescribed. Surgery which involves removal of the scar tissue, sometimes leading to partial or complete hysterectomy after other treatments have failed is also performed. 

 

Some theorize that endometrial tissue is spread through the blood or lymph tissue. This theory is vague and presents this golden question: What causes endometrial tissue to spread through blood and lymph tissue? We do not seek to go down a rabbit hole of theories due to conventional doctors not knowing what causes the growth of excess tissue.

 

This post will discuss some of the research that shows some of the direct causes responsible for this disease. We will discuss routes for attacking the endometriosis (which is actually the symptom of disease). We will go over naturopathic cures and not conventional treatment that only address symptoms. It is reasonable to conclude that if you know the cause of a disorder, you can treat the symptoms much easier by eradicating the root cause. It's similar to how Jehovah has to get rid of Satan in order to fix the issues of: crime, violence, hatred, sickness, wars, etc., that result from his hidden influence. So this article will help you uncover some of the hidden influences that lead to endometriosis.

 

The CDC gives an extensive list of parasitic infections. It also lists the symptoms these parasites causes. We will discuss three of these commons parasites that are endemic to the United States and other areas and how they affect the reproductive organs of women. 

 

Pinworms: 

US Pharmacist explains that pinworms can easily migrate to a woman's uterus. Pinworms are easy to contract. People get them from pets. Children get them from other kids at daycares, and they can infect an entire family. The worm eggs can be under the nails after dealing with an infected pet, and a woman may use the bathroom and infect herself. It's that easy. Pinworms may cause vaginitis, vulvar irritation, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory diseases, and other diseases of the female reproductive tract. Common thought is the worms reside in the intestines where stool samples can detect them. However, stool samples are of little benefit if the worms have migrated to the uterus or other organs. Once they have begin doing their damage, the body manifests the symptoms described at the onset of this post. Once infected, they begin living off the body taking in the nutrients the body needs, and they continue their reproductive cycle. Many women have certain vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and usually, parasites are the reason for these deficiencies.

 

T-Gondii (Toxoplasmosis)

 

Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite mainly spread by cats, feces, and undercooked meats. Toxoplasmosis can be latent in women and men. In the reproductive system of women it can cause infertility, uterine atrophy, endometriosis, miscarriage, and other health issues not related to the reproductive system. Toxoplasmosis, is able to alter the hormones of its host. Although unseen, it is a powerful organism. Various studies from around the world have determined there is a correlation between toxoplasmosis and mental health disorders as well. Toxoplasmosis can even cause cysts to grow on the ovaries of women. To detect infection with toxoplasmosis, Immunological tests are usually performed to detect the acute and latent parasitic infection; however, these can yield false negative results although the symptoms are present. 

 

Schistosomiasis (blood flukes):

 

According to WHO 78 countries have reported this infection. Freshwater snails carry the parasite; the larvae are released into the water, and when people enter the water, they get infected when the larva penetrate their skin. It is a parasite that infects the blood of it's host and thus spreads to various organs. That may explain why the endometrial cells are spread through the blood and lymph. Once in the blood, they cause disabling symptoms. Endometriosis is one of those symptoms. Although thought to be endemic to foreign countries, due to the ease of travel, it is in the United States. 

 

The odd thing is if you look up this parasite on most medical websites, it will say the parasite is rare in the United States. However, when you visit the veterinarian website, it will tell a different story. This infection is established in the United States, and you may wonder why I am focusing on veterinarians; it is because they cannot afford to neglect parasites. Animals are always affected by parasites if left unchecked, and these present with cases of zoonotic infections. This is where humans can become infected from their animals! The American infection is known as Heterobilharzia americana. It is endemic to the Gulf States of the United States, which makes since, because it is carried by freshwater snails. Most research shows it infects humans by penetrating the skin and causing "swimmer's itch."

 

Many brother and sisters who use this site may be reading from a different part of the world. Schistosomiasis is a neglected parasitic infection that causes severe damage to the body and can lead to infertility and cancer. Ovarian schistosomiasis was found in a young 38 year old woman from Tanzania. She had a 10 year history of infertility. In this study, the cysts acted as a cocoon for the eggs of the fluke. It leads one to wonder if doctors would find out more women are infected with parasites if they did biopsies of the cysts they remove with the intent to find parasites? Since people often travel to places where these parasites are endemic, could it be reasonable to conclude they could become infected?

 

You may find this information disturbing. Or you may find a bit of relief to know that parasites may be the cause of the endometriosis you or a loved one suffers from; these are just three of the many parasites that can damage a woman's reproductive system. I wanted to present the evidence so that you can dig deeper for yourself. Another factor to consider is environmental toxins. 

 

Environmental Toxins and Endometriosis

 

The research article "Endocrine Disruptors and Endometriosis" give evidence of four common chemicals that disrupt the endocrine system. Why is this important? Endometriosis is hormone dependent. "The environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous agents that interfere with the synthesis, secretion, transport, signaling, or metabolism of hormones responsible for homeostasis, reproduction, and developmental processes. Endometriosis has been potentially linked to exposure to EDCs." Many women use products containing  these chemicals every day. They are in household cleaners, perfumes, deodorants, food packaging, food, household air fresheners, makeup, man made clothings, shampoos, conditioners, and so much more. Reducing direct exposure can assist in reversing the disorder. 

 

While this post discusses only a summary of the information available, I wanted to help uncover the actual causes of this debilitating diseases. You may wonder what can be done to help reverse this diseases.

 

Attacking the Problem

 

Prayerful effort and faith in Jehovah through our Lord Jesus, can accomplish much. Attacking this problem like an army attacks an invader is the best approach. Soldiers use many weapons, and this information gives you a few weapons to use against what causes endometriosis.

 

Research diets that help remove inflammation and balance hormones. A balanced plant based diet with healthy meats such as low mercury fish, grain free, dairy free, and paraben free has been shown to aid in the body's ability to dissolve or shrink the abnormal tissue growth.  GMO's are not good for anyone, let alone women who have these issues, as they can rob the gut of its beneficial bacteria, leaving the body wide open to bad invaders and a weakened immune system. So search for foods with the non-gmo labels.

 

Woman can also, benefit by doing things such as nightly heated castor pack treatments using hexane free cold pressed organic castor oil over the abdomen, since castor oil is able to penetrate deep into tissues. It is known to be a healing oil.

 

Evening Primrose oil has been very beneficial in regulating hormones. Wild Yam cream rubbed on the inner thighs has shown to be a great treatment as it acts as a hormone balancer. Phyllanthus Niruri tea breaks apart protective biofilms of parasites and the stones they create. These are just a few treatments. 

 

Poke root salve has been shown to stimulate the lymphatic system used along with organic castor oil with a heating pad. 

 

Red light therapy has shown to be very successful with many women used along with herbs for the reproductive system.

 

It is important to do quarterly parasite cleanses. Be sure to use a binder when cleansing and have opened your detox pathways. Fasting with cold pressed juices and alkaline water has proven beneficial because it rejuvenates the cells. 21 days of eating fresh organic berries, green apples, pomegranates, pineapples, and coconut water can be very beneficial along with a parasite cleanse in cycles. 

 

Herbs that help cleanse the blood include:

 

• Olive leaf extract
• Houttuynia
• Burdock Root
• Cat's Claw
• Aloe Vera
• and Rehmannia 

 

Achieving homeostasis is relatively possible with Jehovah's help. However, it takes prayerful effort to accomplish. Yet it is worth the effort. Peace, meditation on Jehovah's word and his promises for us now and in the future can help us remain relatively stress free. This is not intended as medical advice. This is an informative post to help guide you to the root cause of the problem presented. Good health to you!

@computerwiz, I promised I'd post some information about the topic and tag you. Here it is.

[Amygdala]

Excellent research. Totally agree about castor oil and evening primrose oil during painful episodes. Also women in Nigeria (high birth rate) have been known to take wild yams. Apparently one of the highest countries of twin or multiple births. India is number one. India is known for many healing, aryuvedic remedies, and successful treatments despite exposure to pathogens and disease.
 

TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) is also a recommended form of unblocking problem areas around the body. In Germany, a highly popular remedy to balance womens issues is monk pepper. But detoxification of parasites/heavy metals is probably the first step to go.  Also regulation of glucose/insulin/stress levels and internal, especially liver function and repair.
