Over a year ago I went to see a “Westernised” Chinese Doctor – when I say “westernised”, I mean that she studied Chinese Medicine but wasn’t chinese and didn’t grow up there or learn the methods through history. From the onset of meeting her, I didn’t particularly like her. She was very aggressive in her [...]

How to get your Immune System working properly, giving you the ability to fight off Endo and all those other nasties!
by Melissa on February 3, 2012 in Detoxing, Featured Articles
When we think of our immune system, we generally think we need to add stuff into our diet or use some kind of supplement to get it working better. It is like we are seeking “armour” for the body. This was my thinking too and for years I have taken all sorts of immune boosters, [...]
Should we be taking Plant Based Hormones for Endometriosis?
by Melissa on February 2, 2012 in Featured Articles, Hormone Treatments
To be honest, I struggle with this topic. There is so much misinformation when it comes to plant based hormones! It has almost tormented me since I started on this quest to overcome Endometriosis. It also depends so much on our age, our environment, our foods and our hereditary line! Plant based hormones are also called Phytoestrogens [...]
What I discovered today about the pain on my left side. This is so cool!
by Melissa on January 31, 2012 in Featured Articles, Reducing Endometriosis Pain
Well, it has been 5days since I did the big Liver Flush and I since then, my pain on my left side has gotten considerably worse, each day since. Well, I started to worry that I had somehow made my Endometriosis worse by doing the Liver Flush and that perhaps it was just all too [...]
I did it! I did a full Liver Flush! The results are in….worth doing?
by Melissa on January 29, 2012 in Detoxing, Featured Articles
It has been a long week for me. I decided to follow through with my Colonic and did a full liver flush on Thursday. I was dreading it - admit ably. I figured it was the best time to do it. I had cleaned out my bowels and the Gallstones could all find their way out….without [...]
Is your Treatment Plan for Endometriosis really working for you? Is it healing or merely suppressing symptoms?
by Melissa on January 25, 2012 in About Endometriosis - an introduction, Featured Articles, Hormone Treatments, Reducing Endometriosis Pain
I remember when my Treatment Plan for Endometriosis was quite different from what it is now. It is one I am sure you may identify with. I took the Contraceptive Pill continuously, took pain-killers and any other medications for the side-effects of the pill and went in for a Laparoscopy operation to “clean me out” [...]
What goes in, must come out! Why I am realising that a good detox is the only way to really cure Endometriosis!
by Melissa on January 20, 2012 in Detoxing, Featured Articles
I listened to a really interesting talk today about plastics. It was an audio by Daniel Vitalis on the David Wolfe’s Membership Forum. In it he describes how many of the common plastics we have in our lives contain Xenoestrogens, which he illustrates as directly affecting our hormones. It is said that these Xenoestrogens actually [...]
Could Endometriosis be just an Auto-Immune Condition? Just another Mel theory…..
by Melissa on January 17, 2012 in Featured Articles, Possible Endometriosis Causes
Okay, so you all know I am not a doctor or proclaim to be one but I do know an awful lot about this stuff and the more I learn, the more I understand how the body works. Sure, I am just hypothysising but that is kinda fun to do and it is heaps better [...]
Do you find you often feel “alone”? Do you associate alot with emotions of “being alone”, “loneliness” and “abandonement”? Could we share this, along with Endometriosis?
by Melissa on January 14, 2012 in Featured Articles, Thoughts and Emotions
Looking back over last year, the hardest event, was the passing of my dad. During that time, the hardest emotion was the emotion of…feeling alone, deserted, everything was meaningless and insecure. I wanted support and something to change. I felt so very, very alone. Isolated, separated and lost. To be honest, I hadn’t felt these emotions for [...]
I am doing everything right! Why am I still getting boughs of Endometriosis Pain out of nowhere?
by Melissa on January 13, 2012 in Endometriosis Symptoms, Featured Articles, Healthy Lifestyle choices, The Endometriosis Diet
Sometimes it feels like Endometriosis is just a weird kind of curse. It gives you no warning of it’s looming pain and it feel like you can’t seem to win against the battle of it all. Pain seems to pop out of nowhere and the spiral seems to just escalate, leaving you lying in bed, [...]
The sad reality of Endometriosis seems to really affect me, on a very personal level.
by Melissa on January 10, 2012 in Featured Articles, Thoughts and Emotions
I went searching for some other Endo Blogs on the internet yesterday. While I was reading through many of them, they seemed to follow a certain pattern which kinda saddened me. Every single one that I came across told the story of a poor girl, struggling with Endo, while taking a series of hormonal treatments, drugs and [...]

I just wanted to say, how enlightening your Site is, a dear friend of mine, has gone through hell and back, it has taken them three and a half years to finally diagnose that she has Endometriosis, and as a result it is quite advanced, she is now waiting for an operation. I have been reading up on the subject, because I want to be there for her, and to do that I need to understand the problems she is encountering, many thanks for laying it out so that it can be easily understood.
