Mike and I want women with endometriosis to have an informed choice when it comes to choosing their treatment. Our ethos has always been that you use the least harsh method first and work up. Your body is remarkable in that it wants to be healthy. If we can provide all our cells with the tools they need the body will try to heal itself. We are what we can eat and digest and absorb. Over a 7 year period all our body cells renew, some faster than others! For instance, the lining of the digestive tract is renewed every 3 days. Mike and I want every woman to be painfree and improve their fertility naturally according to their goal. Sometimes drug treatment and surgery MaY be helpful. But what you choose to eat and drink has a profound effect upon the health of your reproductive, digestive and immune systems. They all work together. Nutrition is not an alternative approach like herbal medicine and homeopathy, it is essential to life. Eating is something we all do every day, it sustains us , it can keep us healthy - or it can make us unhealthy. The nutrition path requires you to persevere for a few months. Take heed of the comments of women throughout this book. They have trodden this path before you, let them lead the way. May good health be yours, it is the most precious thing you own. I personally have stayed well since 1989 - painfree and I was in constant excruciating pain for 3 years. Being healthy again is such a wonderful feeling, it is not impossible, many of us do get well. Mike and I both hope that our book will guide you back to good health along with relaxation and gentle exercise. These are the keys to well-being and we have tried to provide you with all the information you need. I have taught nutrition since 1971 and work with doctors in one to one consultations at the Centre for Nutritional Medicine in London where we help to alleviate pain and restore fertility by natural means. Mike is good AT making babies - in test tubes in IVF labs at The LA hospital.
