I have been asked by many of my subscribers whether it is okay to take drugs or medicated hormonal treatments with natural sources I recommend for Endometriosis. I guess they feel that combining the two will give them the best possible outcome.
There is an underlying issue with this way of healing. The drugs and hormonal treatments are focusing on solving a symptom of your health concern. They serve to try and regulate your hormones. Unfortunately, they are not meant to be there and are not holistic in their approach. They focus on one problem within the body and disregard all other aspects within the body.
The body is an incredibly ingenious creation. It was formed like nature. Every aspect works together. Each organ has its job to do and when we introduce foreign aspects into that equation we are merely creating more irregularities within the body. The body wants to heal. It knows how to heal. You need to give it the right tools to heal, through nature and not through medication, drugs or hormonal treatments. These are not healing elements as seen by the body. They are merely more things that it now has to deal with.
We trust in medicines and drugs because over many years this has been sold to us as a solution to healing. Pharmaceutical companies and doctors push us to use these drugs and tell us they are “safe” and are our only option. There is not as much money in Super Foods or growing your own herbs and consuming fresh whole vegetables and fruit!
“ Drugs never cure disease. They merely hush the voice of nature’s protest, and pull down the danger signals she erects along the pathway of transgression. Any poison taken into the system has to be reckoned with later on even though it palliates present symptoms. Pain may disappear, but the patient is left in a worse condition, though unconscious of it at the time.” Dr Daniel H.Kress, MD
Our trust in Orthodox or Allopathic Medicine is scary. We simply don’t know how much it damages people as it is marketed as being our only option. In July of 2000, Dr Barbar Starfield wrote an article in JAMA, where she stated that over 225,000 deaths occurred in hospitals throughout the USA. These deaths were caused by errors made by doctors, nurses and the hospital systems. Out of those people, 106,000 were by using prescribed “medicines”. Within the same study, a decade of information revealed that over 1million people died by pharmaceutical drugs alone. Not one death has been recorded from using Nutrional products sold. – Quoted from John Hammell, International Advocates for Health Freedeom www.iahf.com
“Every educated physician knows that most diseases are not appreciably helped by medicine” Richard C.Cabot, MD (Mass Gen Hospital)
“The necessity of teaching mankind not to take drugs and medicines, is a duty incumbent upon all who know their uncertainty and injurious effects; and the time is not far distant when the drug system will be abandoned.” Charles Armbruster M.D

The problem is, we are simply told to trust in doctors whenever we have a problem. From a young age I was always at the doctors. They seemed to have an instant fix for every ailment I presented to them and it seemed to make the problem (more like symptom) go away. I never recognised that in fact they were simply suppressing a more severe underlying issue. They gave me drugs and “medicines” for all sorts of ailments and created more and more rubbish for my poor liver to have to clean up! Never did I get a mention about nutrition or exercise or any real options for healing. It was simply take this and it will solve everything!
I still get worked up when I think about the many years I spent taking all sorts of drugs to solve the symptoms my body was sending me. I wish I had known about what it was really doing to my body and I hope this article will make you think twice about what you may be doing to yours!

Thanks Melissa, you so echo the thoughts in my head right now. Over last week, I have been to two different doctors both of whom give me surgery as the only option. When I asked them about diet or asked them how I can prevent endo from recurring, they were quite cluless and didn’t know what to say.
when I asked them if other methods of healing help – like homeo or Ayurveda (I’m in India) – they quite blantantly said we are not aware of how they can help.
Like you said, doctors are prescribing drugs as a solution to this problem, when truly the problem is not just in one part of the body. They are not looking at the larger long term picture , they are focusing on the present and on increasing their money
Thanks Sameera. It is sad but true. They are perhaps not aware of the true benefits of other forms of holistic methods as their training has always been in using drugs and hormonal treatments.
