When we look at a tree that has a leaf infection or discolouration, we will go to a gardener and usually enquire what might deficient in the soil to have caused the plant to become unwell.
Why is it then that when it comes to healing the human body, we don't see the same correlation that what we feed ourselves and the nutrients we provide for the body are going to affect our resistance to disease and infection.
We can influence our symptoms and the condition of Endometriosis by simply considering the nutritional benefits our food is supplying the body.
Choices can be made within the diet that aids the body to heal and to resist the disease of Endometriosis.
These choices can be made every day and ultimately depend on an individual's decision on how important their healing process is.
Often when a person considers all the foods recommended to be taken out of an Endometriosis women's diet, the challenge of the restrictive diet are often too difficult.
Cutting out dairy, meat, soy and sugar are essential for the process of healing and though initially a person suffering from severe pain of Endometriosis might feel they can succeed at this, ultimately a long-term Endometriosis diet needs to be established and maintained for at least 6months.
This means no chocolate, ice-cream, sweets or alcohol or caffeine for 6months or longer.
The diet influences Endometriosis on so many levels.
Consider that too high a volume of Oestrogen in the body is ultimately the reason for the associated pain and symptoms of Endometriosis and that some foods contain a higher volume of Soy than others.
It has been indicated that there are a high volume of Endometriosis sufferers in Japan.
This could be attributed to the high volume of soy beans and tofu within the Japanese diet.
  Cutting out foods that contain high levels of Oestrogen is vital for the commencement of healing.
These include lentils, soy products and fennel.
Another contributing factor with diet is the amount of roughage within the body.
Roughage is able to transport excess fat and toxins from the body.
By not having sufficient roughage in the form of nuts and vegetables, the body will not get rid of these effectively.
Endometriosis sufferers often also suffer from IBS, which will be largely related to the amount of roughage in the diet.
Diets high in fat should definitely be avoided by Endometriosis sufferers as the high levels of fat in the body attribute to higher levels of Oestrogen in the blood stream.
Fat content found in margarines, meat, dairy and various fast-foods should definitely be taken out of the diet.
As the liver is very sensitive and is responsible for processing the various toxins within the body, Endometriosis sufferers should eliminate any flavourants or preservatives from the body.
They add additional strain on the body which will impact on its ability to get rid of excess fat and additional toxins and disease.
The diet of a person has so many affects on the pain and healing of Endometriosis.
It is no longer possible to simply believe that taking a tablet will dissolve all pains and problems experienced with this disease.
It is important to realise that healing with any disease or condition always commences with a proper diet, such as the example provided with our living tree.
Look at the root cause and not simply try and fix the symptoms.
