My Own Tracing...

• Tonsillitis constantly as a child (tonsils=immune system)                           
• Very intense colds and flu's
• Constipation far back as I can remember
• Heavy periods from the get go (age 14)
• Acne at puberty, also, heavy sugar consumption
• Antibiotics for one year!! Yikes. Used for acne, age 17
• Lump in breast (age 22) Lumpectomy performed
• Yeast infections constantly
• Bad pap smear (age 24) Cryosurgery
• Endometriosis discovered (age 30) surprise-surprise         
• Sinus infections
• Surgery for endometriosis (age 32)
• Failed surgery endometriosis returns immediately
• Are you seeing a pattern?!! See me ignoring the voice?
• Terrible colds lots of antibiotics
• Yeast infections still happening
• Lupron (pharmaceutical drug for endometriosis)
• Age 36 complete turn around with help from a professional in Natural Medicine
• Went to University to become a Clinical Nutritionist and dedicate my career to women who suffer from endometriosis

Give  yourself a few weeks to come up with all your history, you will be  surprised what old signs you may have dismissed. You are looking for any  past health issues no matter insignificant they seem. Symptoms you  would not consider connected to endometriosis are usually the very  beginning of the problem. Example, ongoing constipation, or anxiety, or  lots of colds and antibiotic use. Disease does not start as a "disease",  it starts as small symptom in the body that we ignore or cover up with  quick fix such as a drug or surgery.  Not realizing the symptom is the  body's way of saying, "Hey, there's a problem here and you need to  address it."  When we cover it up with a prescription we quiet the  voice…for a little while. Since we never really fixed the problem the  body now has to ask in another way -- another symptom, perhaps we ignore  that signal too, soon the breakdown and requests for help become too  loud and we are soon diagnosed with a full on "disease". Had we  addressed the problem promptly there would be no signs of disease and we  would have a healthy body.

The  language of your body becomes louder as your illness progresses. Yet we  mask it with surgeries and medications, instead of listening and asking  oneself, “What would you like me to change?”
