Endometriosis Pain - It's GONE!

I am writing to report that my endometriosis pain is GONE!

I waited for three pain free cycles to confirm that indeed, it had gone, before I started telling people, but yep, since September 2009 I have been endo pain free!

The last time I had pain was when I was in the USA in August 2009. I did not eat well that month, see my article on raw food restaurant favorites to have a look at some of the things I was eating.

It was a constant restaurant merry go round, with loads of gourmet raw food at raw restaurants, and, from eating so many high fat foods at the raw restaurants, we developed some major carb cravings and with a belly full of fat we didn’t feel like eating fruit, so a few trips to cooked vegan island were also on the agenda.

SO, by the time my cycle came around after 3 weeks of eating this way, I was in serious trouble.

Pain, Pain, and More Pain!

We were staying in LA at the time, at Jaye’s cousin’s place, and I terrified the household by howling in pain while being unable to get up from the bathroom floor.

Sweat was pouring down my face while at the same time I shivered and shook from cold (the weather was warm) and nausea and excruciating pain wracked my entire pelvis and abdomen.

I was unable to take any pain pills as I vomited everything that went into my body. A few hours after this violent episode of pain and vomiting, I recovered sufficiently to be able to be driven to the hotel that we were staying in that night.

I got myself up to the hotel room through sheer force of will and then lay down and slept intermittently until morning, frequently waking up with violent spasms of agony. In the morning we had to catch our flight back to New York.

Traveling in the midst of severe endometriosis pain is torture!

At one point the pain hit me so badly that tears started to gush from my eyes as if someone had turned a tap on, and I covered my face with my arms and sobbed, loudly, though every movement just intensified the pain further.

I was getting quite a few stares and was worried that I would attract the attention of the flight staff who I thought might not want to let me on the plane. That is how sick I was.

I didn’t eat anything for 2 solid days and by the 3rd day the pain had passed enough to allow me to eat some fruit.

Back To Low Fat Raw

We returned home at the beginning of September and went back to our low fat raw vegan lifestyle consisting of fruit and greens exclusively, and suddenly in late September 2009 my cycle came and with it......some mild cramping! NOTHING like endometriosis pain.

It was the basic garden variety strain of mild period cramps, nothing a hot water bottle couldn't handle. I kept waiting for the endometriosis pain to come and it just....never did! So then I thought, okay, maybe it just skipped a month?

I knew I should trust in my healing, but I just didn’t have the confidence with only one cycle going well. So I waited for the October cycle.

Again, no endo pain, just very mild cramps. Me and a hot water bottle made friends for the day and that was that. I was incredulous and major league excited, but I thought, hey let’s go for 3 cycles just to make sure.

Well, the November cycle was again pain free, and so it has been ever since.

By the way aside from no endo pain, my cycles now also consist of light bleeding for only ONE DAY? A ONE day period, with very MILD and ORDINARY cramps, perfect time for a movie day, spent in bed, with a hot water botty! What fun!!!

I also have NO PMS, in fact no inkling that I’m even GETTING my period! No lower back pain for a few days prior, no moods AT ALL!

The Vegan Raw Food Diet Heals Endometriosis Pain!

I expected it to! I knew it would over time! But when it didn’t happen within the first few months of the vegan raw food diet, I started to wonder if it might take a LOT longer, and I am so happy that it didn’t take that long after all.

I wonder if the severity of the symptoms in the USA wasn’t more of a healing crisis as my body really got stuck into dealing with the source of the problem.

I also think that it is likely that the fact that I STOPPED taking pain medication completely (I tried to take some in LA, I was that desperate, but my body knew better and threw it up straight away) contributed enormously to my healing.

It has literally been many, many months since a single pill has passed my lips!

We are so brainwashed to believe that pills HELP us, but they just create more problems for the body, more toxicity and more cause for illness. The body knows better and can heal itself when we just get out of its way.

So, I am healed, I am THRILLED about it, and now, instead of breaking out in a cold sweat of fear when I think about getting my period, I can instead smile and contemplate a me day spent with my buddy the hot water botty and a good book or some good movies, and after just ONE day of barely any discomfort, it's all over!

So for anyone with endometriosis pain - consider a low fat vegan raw food diet, it is the way to beat it!
