Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hi all..sorry it's taken me so long to actually post on this site but life sometimes catches ya and keeps ya busy... I am very interested in Chinese Healing..I am presently seeing an acupuncturist and I participate in Tong Ren classes every week. I am also reading some books about chinese herbs and their uses..very interesting. My problem at the moment is a weight issue..over 5 years ago I was diagnosed with severe endometriosis. There isn't much known about the disease and so of course some of the treatments are pretty barbaric..but of course when you are in terrible pain you do just about anything to get out of it. I had surgery where they removed some of the endo on my liver and other organs..then they put me on a drug called Lupron..this drug was designed for prostate cancer and I think it was the cause of the change in my body ...I have also had a complete hysterectomy (am not using add back therapy)..Last year I also quit smoking..so I know I have many issues going on...I would say I have gained over 60lbs since then..I went from being bugged all the time because I was too skinny ..to a women who is very overweight..I have tried many things...I don't believe in starvation type diets..I don't think that is realistic..as soon as you start eating again you gain the weight plus some back..I believe in life changes..I did try eating the higher proteins and less carbs but ended up gaing weight instead of loosing it...I hadn't really changed anything from when I was skinny to when I got heavy ..so it's very frustrating..my diet was the same (till last summer when I tried the high protien etc) I excersised the same..arghh...I did try for two months to walk 3km (2 miles) three times a week which I had never done before..I also was swimming once a week..so you would think with the added excersise I would have lost weight..but I didn't..infact I even gained some weight.. I have tried the chinese bitters to clean my liver..and a gall bladder cleanse (with olive oil, lemon juice etc) Infact I am on the chinese bitters again...Is there any suggestions out there? Could it be possible I have a thyroid problem..and is there any herbs that support the thyroid that may be worth trying? I know it's a lot to swallow..I'm not an easy person to diagnose..haha..but I'd like to try some natural things first before going through the doctors again ...as I truly think it was what got me to this point I'm in now..I am also seeing a DO (Osteopathic physician) She is helping me with the tons of adhesions I have in my abdomen/liver/diaphram area.. Thanx for your time..any insight would be wonderful...I hope to have more time soon to read through some of your messages..have a great day..Huggz..Angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
