+gynecologist to go on birth control and have surgery which wouldn't be a
+permanent fix. Knowing that there was no way that I could live my life in
+chronic pain and not wanting to have synthetic hormones effecting my body, I
+searched all over the place for naturopathic treatment or cures. I was on
+natural hormones, diets, drinks and so on. I spent hundreds of dollars that I
+couldn't really afford in an 18 month period and I was still in pain. I decided
+to search your website because I'd already been treating my extreme allergies
+with vitamin C for longer than I'd known I had endometriosis. Your website
+suggested selenium, which is one of the least expensive minerals one could
+purchase. I felt and knew the difference within weeks: less or no pain. I had normal cycles and my hormonal issues were almost
+completely cured." </font></em></font></div>
+<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial"> </span></strong></p>
+<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Selenium</span></strong> <br />
+<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial">In cattle, endometriosis can
+ be due to selenium deficiency. Since your cow can't give you any milk
+ without having a baby first, dairymen well know to supplement all cows'
+ feed with selenium. This is usually accomplished with a <span class="SpellE">multimineral</span> tablet the size of a microwave oven.
+ Okay, it's a mineral-fortified salt block (after all, salt <em>IS</em> a
+ mineral...) that can cows lick anytime they want.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt">
+<o:p></o:p></span></p>
+<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">Human females should do
+ as well, but they don't.</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">
+<o:p></o:p></span></p>
+<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">We go out of our way to
+ supply selenium to cattle, particularly in geographical regions that have
+ selenium-poor soil (
+<st1:state w:st="on">
+<st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state>
+ state is just one of these). Farmers simply must have healthy, fertile,
+ easy-to-conceive, happily-pregnant, uncomplicated-delivering <span class="SpellE">Bossys</span> by the herd. The economics are obvious: <span class="GramE">farmer's</span> cannot afford otherwise; a herd with
+ endometriosis would be bankruptcy on the hoof.</span><span style="font-size:
+ 11.0pt">
+<o:p></o:p></span></p>
+<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">Women with endometriosis,
+ on the other hand, mean economic success for all the many, many systems we
+ have to capitalize on their sickness. Doctors, nurses, support staff,
+ surgeons, hospitals, administrators, HMO's, insurance companies,
+ pharmaceutical manufacturers, drug salespeople, and lots of others' jobs
+ depend on people being unwell. The uterus has always been irresistible
+ to money-medicine, and, with an estimated half a million unnecessary
+ hysterectomies annually, I would say that little has changed.</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">
+<o:p></o:p></span></p>
+<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">The secret to
+ endometriosis is to see it for what it is: an end result of malnutrition.</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">
+<o:p></o:p></span></p>
+<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">Farmers see this.
+ Physicians do not.</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">
+<o:p></o:p></span></p>
+<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">Cows are raw food
+ vegetarians who obtain their minerals from grains, leafy greens, and smart
+ dairymen who provide mineral supplements preventively. Physicians and
+ their ilk try to treat endometriosis 1) after it has occurred and 2) with
+ drugs. Endometriosis is not due to a drug deficiency.</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">
+<o:p></o:p></span></p>
+<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">The secret to this
+ disease is found in the barnyard. </span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">
+<o:p></o:p></span></p>
+<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">Selenium is probably
+ important in stopping endometriosis because this important trace mineral
+ works so closely with vitamin E. Vitamin E has been known to ensure
+ that animals have healthy uterine linings since the 1930's. There is a
+ research trail on this as long as your arm. Therefore, supplementing
+ the diet of a human female with (natural) vitamin E, 400 to 1,000 IU daily (<span class="SpellE">Balch</span>, 1990, p 167), plus 100-200 micrograms (mcg) of
+ selenium, is a good move.</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">
+<o:p></o:p></span></p>
+<p><strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Folate (folic acid)</span></strong> <br />
+<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">I suspect folate deficiency
+ as a cause of endometriosis. To some extent I base this opinion, once again,
+ on cows. And I repeat that cows are vegetarians. Raw food vegetarians.</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">
+<o:p></o:p></span></p>
+<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">Folate, once known as
+ vitamin B - 9, is named after the dark green leafy vegetables it was first
+ extracted from. "Folium" is Latin for leaf. Folic acid
+ contains three parts: <span class="SpellE">pteroic</span> acid glutamic acid,
+ and <span class="SpellE">para-aminobenzoic</span> acid (PABA). Folate is an
+ important coenzyme in your body which helps to move carbon units about, and
+ is necessary for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing <span class="SpellE">purines</span>
+ and <span class="SpellE">pyrimidines</span>, which are essential for the
+ synthesis of nucleotides... which make up your RNA and DNA. Folate is
+ also necessary for making the heme (the iron-containing, <span class="SpellE">nonprotein</span>
+ part of hemoglobin) for your red blood cells </span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">
+<o:p></o:p></span></p>
+<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">Too little folate causes
+ nutritional <span class="SpellE">megoblastic</span> anemia (that's large,
+ immature red blood cells that can't carry oxygen well). This is especially
+ important during growth situations, such as pregnancy, infancy and childhood.</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">
+<o:p></o:p></span></p>
+<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">Cows get plenty of folate
+ because they eat plenty of foliage (green leafy stuff, like grass). They are
+ also blissfully free from a silent folate-stealer: the birth control
+ pill. Oral contraceptives dramatically increase (at least double) the
+ need for folic acid in women. Disease in general increases need for folic
+ acid.</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">
+<o:p></o:p></span></p>
+<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">Adolescent girls in
+ particular are likely to have folic acid deficiencies (Williams, 6th, p 245)
+ Why? Because food sources of folate are often quite unpopular. They
+ are:</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">

+<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">It is likely that, during
+ the pre-adult growth period when they need it most, teenagers are not getting
+ adequate dietary folic acid. Female teenagers reaching menarche (beginning of
+ menstruation) are therefore malnourished. Folate <span class="SpellE">undernutrition</span>
+ is probably a factor in endometriosis.</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">
+<o:p></o:p></span></p>
+<p><strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Other nutrients</span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial"> </span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family:
+ Arial">that James F. <span class="SpellE">Balch</span>, M.D. recommends for
+ endometriosis include vitamin C in quantity, the vitamin B-complex, essential
+ fatty acids (found in lecithin or primrose oil), iron, iodine, calcium, and
+ magnesium (<span class="SpellE">Balch</span>, p 167). His concise discussion of
+ endometriosis (pages 165-168) includes a discussion a theory that
+ endometriosis may actually be an "unrecognized congenital birth
+ defect." If this is true, surgical correction may be warranted. But
+ likewise if true, prevention must be emphasized. Since there is no question
+ whatsoever that malnutrition causes birth defects, dietary revision makes
+ sense. What is good for heifers is good for humans. I vote for
+ a bovine diet.</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">

+<p><strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Raspberry leaves</span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial"> </span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family:

+ usefulness. I have seen raspberry leaf tea reduce pregnancy problems
+ and delivery times in humans. We fed piles of raspberry leaves to our
+ rabbit, <span class="GramE">who</span> rewarded us with ten young
+ practically while our backs were turned. This is a large litter even for a
+ rabbit. </span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt">

+<p><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Arial">Pregnancy and
