Hello everyone,
Ok, i have been 60%- 99% raw the past 2 years( i think, lost track of time), i know that is not a long time to detox properly and like alot of people i have fallen off the tracks now and again. Even when i have i have always eaten at least one large salad a day,wild greens when i can, i always have a smoothie for breakfast or fruit. and in the smoothie i always have raw powders, (maca, a supergreens mixture,chinese herbs,mesquite,camu-camu,spirilina others i cant think of right now)try to avoid caffine and if i have it i will only have 1-2 cups of coffee or tea a day, i stopped taking cacao regularly as i was getting bad effects that i hadnt noticed until i stopped taking it!. some days i have no caffine. i eat raw garlic alot and i take ACV alot also.I have reiki when i feel i need it. i exercise everyday, i work with horses so i do alot of exercise, im outdoors alot. But for the past 3 months iv been on and off ill from work, at first i thought it was heat stroke, maybe it was, but i was shocked by this as i drink 8 drinks a day, in hot weather i was drinking mainly mineral water and raw electrolyte drinks that i made, and i was drinking more than i usually do. I live in the UK so its not like im battling extreme heat. Since then iv been on and off work, when im off its because im being sick, dizzy and feeling very weak, also on off diahorrea.Anyway for the past week and a half iv been off work. Sickness, nausea, very dizzy and weak.but also started my period a couple of days into it and worst period iv had in a long time, they had gotten ALOT better. I had an operation to remove my 'triple sized' appendix and meckels diverticulum 5 years ago and it was a very bad time in my life, that much that i was frightened to ever go back into surgery(im 20 and had surgery 4 times all have left my mind scarred!!), so i kept to myself for the past few years that i bled from my rectum when i was menstrating, as i had read that it wasnt serious unless you bled everyday, although im not stupid and i realise that this is not normal at all!.The pain is very very bad, well i have to bite my hand to stop screaming when i go to the toilet(boths ends!) when menstrating. Also that i had stopped having sex because of the pain i experienced.Iv also had a strange rash on my arms and back for 7 years that nobody has been able to diagnose, the only thing that seems to help is the sun but as soon as the weather cools off it flares back up. Well i decided to tell the doctor this when i went back for my blood results the other day, because i could put up with it all before partly out of fear and partly because i was just ignoring it and taking strong painkillers, until it started effecting the job i love.i was also told several times that the pain was just something i would have to put up with and if i was in pain after surgery it would be IBS.
I will get to the point, basically im having to see a gynocologist and will have to have a laparoscoby to see whether i have endometriosis. im trying not to worry but its hard not to, when trying to look for natural cures all i can find is changing your diet(which i do and have done) and that sometimes acupuncture can HELP, but there is no cure? when reading mainstream endo info i find stories of women having major bowel surgery and having their reproductive organs removed. im also extra worried because iv already had my bowels poked around with and bits taken off. im really really agaisnt any surgery, unless from an accident, i like to always use natural methods as i think it is barbaric to cut things away and remove them, when its not dealing with the main problem. also with endo it says that 9x out of 10 it comes back within 6 months to a year. so people just have surgery again, it lasered off.
Forgot to add that all my blood results came back fine.
I guess im asking for advice from anyone who has had it, known anyone with it. ANY natural alternative therapys, im open to any advice, whether from a mind, body or soul perspective. I dont want to end up having my insides butchered up.
