Hi, sorry to write so many emails, but I think this is important, though a

little off topic.

I've been researching healing my endometriosis. It seems to me the best way to

go, ideally, would be herbs. However, since my body is not in an ideal

condition...from the drugs, I need your advice.

I've researched the herbs that are recommended. A couple of them have

phytoestrogens in them. Would this possibly make be further unstable? This is

the basic recipe I've found in a few places on the internet: are you familiar

with the herbs...do you think they are safe for my mental stability?

1 teaspoon each vitex berries, echinacea root, wild yam rhizome and cramp bark

½ teaspoon each horsetail stalks, red raspberry and motherwort 1 quart water

Combine herbs and water in an uncovered pot and bring to a boil. Turn down the

heat and let simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and

steep for 15 minutes. Strain out herbs. Drink at least 2 cups daily. This

formula can also be taken as a tincture or in capsules

Any advice would be welcome. If you feel that this would not be safe I'll look

into other alternatives.

thanks,

(and, oh...I went to a nasty gynecologist who threatened me with hysterectomy

if I didn't take her nasty pharmaceutical hormones. I went home crying. The pain

keeps getting worse. She really scared me--there is no risk of my taking those

hormones though)

** At this point in your condition, I wouldn't touch herbs. Remember, NO

doctor can tell you what to do with your body. When youencounter one who thinks

they can, run, don't walk, to the nearest exit and tell him/her you will not be

seeing him/her again due to the lack of interest in YOUR particular desires.
