You know the feeling you get when you learn something new

about a health problem you've been trying to reverse?

Maybe high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease.

Well, there's nothing I like better than bringing you the information

There are a variety of unique health issues that women face

one of the most debilitating diseases that women face: endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a major cause of disability

and compromised quality of life among women — a chronic disease

which is under-diagnosed, under- reported, under-researched.

For patients it can be a nightmare of misinformation, myths, taboos,

lack of diagnosis, and problematic hit-and-miss treatments,

overlaid by a painful, chronic, stubborn disease.

Pain is what best characterizes the disease,

pain, painful intercourse, heavy irregular periods and infertility.

and it accounts for about half the cases of pelvic pain and infertility.

It's caused by what's called retrograde menstruation.

Instead of the blood going down, it goes up into the abdominal cavity,

where bleeding tissue of the uterine lining can implant onto other organs.

You can have the lesions surgically removed,

but the recurrence rate within five years is as high as 50%.

Now, endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease,

so might the anti-estrogenic effects of the phytoestrogens

in flaxseeds and soy foods help, as they appear to in breast cancer?

I couldn't find studies on flax, but soy food consumption may indeed

but I couldn't find any studies on treating the disease with soy.

with decreased breast cancer risk: seaweed.

Seaweeds have special types of fiber and phytonutrients

not found among land plants, so it's not like choosing

to get your beta-carotene from a carrot versus a sweet potato.

If you want these unique seaweed components,

some of which may have anti-cancer properties,

we need to find a way to incorporate sea vegetables into our diets —

anti-cancer properties such as anti-estrogen effects.

Japanese women have among the lowest rates of breast,

They have longer menstrual cycles and lower estrogen levels

circulating in their blood and that may help account

for their low risk of estrogen-dependent cancers.

We assumed this was their soy intake, but the seaweed might be helping as well.

You can drip seaweed broth on human ovary cells that make estrogen

and see estrogen levels drop, because it's either

inhibiting production or facilitating breakdown of estrogen,

lowering the activity of the estrogen you do produce.

This is in a Petri dish, though, but it happens in women as well.

They estimate that an effective estrogen-lowering dose of seaweed

for an average American woman might be around 5 grams a day,

but no one has apparently tried testing it on cancer patients yet,

Three women with abnormal cycles— two of which with endometriosis—

volunteered to add a tiny amount of dried powdered bladderwrack,

It effectively lengthened their cycles and reduced the duration of their periods.

And not just by a little. Check out subject number 1.

A 30-year history of irregular periods, averaging every 16 days,

but adding just a quarter teaspoon of this seaweed powder a day

added 10 days onto her cycle, up to 26 days,

and a half teaspoon a day brought her up to like 31,

And they all experienced marked reductions in blood flow

and a decreased duration of menstruation.

Poor subject number 1 was having periods every 16 days

that lasted 9 days long. Can you imagine?

After 30 years of this kind of craziness, just a half teaspoon of seaweed a day

and she was having periods just once a month and only lasting about 4 days.

And most importantly, in the two women suffering from endometriosis,

they reported substantial alleviation of their pain.

How is that possible? Look at their drop in estrogen levels.

A 75% drop after just a quarter teaspoon of seaweed powder a day,

Now obviously with just a couple women, no control group,

But look when this study was published: more than a decade ago

and not a single such study has been published since.

Does the research world just not care about women?

Millions of women are suffering with these conditions.

That much seaweed costs less than 5 pennies,

But with no downsides, I would suggest endometriosis sufferers give it a try.

we look at how oxidized cholesterol found in eggs,

can have cancer-fueling estrogenic effects on human breast cancer.

In 1908, the presence of cholesterol crystals was noted

in the proliferating areas of cancers, suggesting that perhaps cholesterol,

in some way, was associated with the regulation of cancer proliferation.

A century later we now recognize the accumulation of cholesterol

and recent evidence suggests that cholesterol

may indeed play critical roles in the progression of cancers,

including breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers.
