As ethical consumers, constantly involved with the menstrual product industry, we ought to have access to genuine and consistent information regarding the ingredients that go into the production of pads, tampons or menstrual cups.

In recent years, scientific literature alongside reports from non-governmental organizations, have come to evaluate the potential for these substances to contribute to adverse health outcomes, including endocrine disruption, carcinogenic risk, and dermal irritation.

But how much are these products undermining our health and well-being?
Understanding the composition of these sanitary products is crucial. Attached below is an excellent link to help you with this.

“An examination of feminine hygiene products reveals a complex intersection of chemistry, public health, and consumer rights. This analysis focuses on the presence of potentially harmful chemicals and allergens within sanitary pads, with a particular reference to products widely available in the United States market, such as those from the brand Always. The inquiry identifies seven categories of substances of concern: per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), phthalates, dioxins and furans, pesticide residues, undisclosed fragrance components, adhesive-related volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and contaminants within superabsorbent polymers.”

Remember to read the label on the product you are about to purchase. It is up to you to keep informed and prevent potential future diseases.

Endometriosis is a disease that affects women during their most productive years, right from the early education years, throughout their most important years of career building, and up to retirement.

The full impact of endometriosis is invisible because the data doesn't exist. Therefore researching work plays a fundamental role in gathering more information, at a crucial time, when so many women suffer immensely because of the unbearable pain that goes on for days, every month.

One study across 10 countries found that women with endometriosis lost 10.8 h/week on average due to both absence from work and reduced productivity (Nnoaham et al., 2011).

A study from Puerto Rico found that women with endometriosis lost 7.4 h/week on average during a week when symptoms were at their worst and 43% reported that productivity was extremely affected by endometriosis symptoms (Fourquet et al., 2011).

Here are the top 5 toxic ingredients that are being used in the production of deodorants.

1. Aluminium - linked to breast cancer, gut permeability changes, as well as hormonal imbalances and an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer.

2. Parabens - research papers highlight parabens as endocrine disruptors mimicking estrogen, linked to potential issues like breast cancer, reduced fertility, obesity, and allergies. Toxicity and impact differ based on the paraben's chain length (e.g., methyl vs. butyl) and the specific cell type studied. Parabens disrupt our delicate hormonal balance, which can lead to things like early puberty in children and an increased risk of hormonal cancers.

3. Propylene glycol - PG is one of the most commonly used solvents and can cause damage to the central nervous system, liver and heart.

4. Phthalates - these series of widely used chemicals interfere with hormone systems (estrogen, androgen, thyroid) and have already been identified as endocrine-disrupting chemicals. They are linked to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, obesity and potential cardiovascular problems.

5. Triclosan - (TCS) is a synthetic, multi-purpose antimicrobial agent. ‭Various studies shed light ‬on the emerging health concerns‭ related to the use of TCS, such as microbial resistance, dermal irritations,‬ endocrine disruption, higher incide‭nce of allergies, altered thyroid hormone metabolism and tumors ‬development. Overuse of triclosan may contribute to antibiotic/antimicrobial resistance and may modify the microbiome.

The most straightforward substitute for deodorant is an all-natural product. Instead of chemicals, all-natural deodorants contain ingredients like baking soda and essential oils to neutralize odor-causing bacteria. There are currently an abundance of more healthy options on the market, although you do have to search out for the one that is best for you.

Perhaps, the most simple, most efficient way to keep your armpits fresh and healthy is by using good apple cider vinegar, or alternatively organic lime juice. Keep in mind that your body does have to release its toxins, and that sweating is naturally part of that process.

There are so many ways to cut down on sugar, when you really wish to change your life with endometriosis.

We have a healthy snack recipe to suggest: passion fruit banana. Simple, delicious, and super anti-inflammatory!

The presence of too much glucose in the blood, from sugar and unrefined carbohydrates is now widely recognised as harmful to the body.

Sugar, as well as other sweet food products, can influence the way in which the white blood cells of our immune system clear up the debris. Reducing our intake of these foods can have a direct beneficial impact on our health.

Find out more about sugar and its effects on endometriosis in the article below

When it comes to the most efficient ways to tackle endometriosis, we all dream of a perfect recipe, a fast route to removing the unending horror of the pains, just something to help us go through that spontaneous flare up at work, or the nightmarish intestinal spasms in the morning.
Sadly, the magic wand with that one most expected endometriosis cure, we cannot bring you, yet. However, this is a pretty good way to start, and change your life, whilst living with endometriosis. Sugar free diet. Gluten free diet. Magnesium. In this order, with much hope for a better day to day life.

Please find below a study regarding the consumption of sugary foods and drinks and the risk of endometrial cancer.

Regarding the current ongoing maddening trend of poisoning ourselves with CTs, MRIs, tomographies, mammographies, etc. please read the below.

Ionising radiation from CT is a known carcinogen. The findings of this recent study (April 2025) show that, if current radiation dosing and utilization practices continue, CT-associated cancers could eventually account for 5% of all new cancer diagnoses annually.

Happy reading ☀️

Estrogen dominance and endometriosis ::

“Estrogen dominance refers to a hormonal state where estrogen activity is disproportionately high relative to progesterone. The term is used primarily in clinical and integrative contexts to describe symptoms and conditions resulting from this imbalance. […]

Xenoestrogens—like BPA, phthalates, and certain pesticides—can act on estrogen receptors, mimicking or enhancing endogenous estrogen activity.

Liver dysfunction, gut dysbiosis, and poor methylation pathways can impair estrogen metabolism and elimination, leading to a buildup of estrogenic metabolites.

[…]

Chronic stress may suppress ovulation and decrease progesterone production, indirectly enhancing estrogen’s relative dominance.”

Endomomo was created especially for those who suffer with endometriosis. This page is particularly interested in gut health, mental health and looks at the different ways of living a most nature friendly [okologisk] lifestyle, for those who have to deal with the daily horrors that the auto-immune illness brings.

Eating free of pesticides is part of this project.
In this post we look at the different ways of cleaning your fruits and vegetables via this study attached below.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/386597049_Removal_of_Pesticides_from_Lemon_and_Vegetables_Using_Electrolyzed_Water_Kitchen_Devices

“To increase the effectiveness of cleaning vegetables and fruits from pesticides, scientistsadd various chemical substances: sodium bicarbonate, chlorine, alkaline water, vinegar,and ozone. It is worth noting that the use of bicarbonate in the case of eliminating thiabendazole and phosmet was effective and reduced the level of contamination by up to 80–96%.”

It turns out that you only need one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda per cup of cold water to wash produce. Soak fruits and vegetables in a clean bowl for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Anti-inflammatory aid right here. The most efficient, natural remedies to calm us down in the heat of the unending flare-ups.

Have you considered trying calendulae tea?
Or perhaps you have already given up coffee for green or peppermint tea?

Among exotic fruits, pineapple appears to be rather well known for its anti inflammatory properties, but have you tried passion fruit?

One antioxidant that passion fruit is particularly rich in is polyphenols. Polyphenols act as an anti-inflammatory and can reduce the risk of inflammation and diseases. Passion fruit has been found to have more polyphenols than other tropical fruits including banana, mango, and pineapple.
