I use Kelp a seaweed for hormonal problems and many other herb. There is often an unbalance of oestrogen and progesterone. kelp stimulates the thyroid and reduces oestrogen. You may lose some weight using kelp.
Endometriosis, an estrogen-dependent condition, may be caused by what is referred to as a “retrograde menstruation.” Instead of blood going down, it goes up into the abdominal cavity, where bleeding tissue of the uterine lining can implant onto other organs. The lesions caused by this can be surgically removed, but the recurrence rate within five years is as high as 50 percent. The disease is characterized as being painful and causing painful in*******se, heavy irregular periods, and infertility.
Since endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease, might the anti-estrogenic effects of the phytoestrogens in soy foods help as they appear to do with breast cancer? Indeed, soy consumption may help reduce the risk of developing endometriosis, but I wasn’t able to find any studies on treating the disease with soy foods.
Seaweeds have special types of fiber and phytonutrients not found among plants on land, which may have anti-estrogen effects. It is estimated that an effective estrogen-lowering dose of seaweed for an average American woman may be around five grams a day.
Seaweed has been tested on endometriosis in a small sample size without a control group. Three women with abnormal cycles, including two with endometriosis, volunteered to add a tiny amount of powdered bladderwrack, a common seaweed, to their daily diet, and found that it effectively lengthened their menstrual cycles and reduced the duration of their periods. Just a half teaspoon of seaweed powder a day resulted in an 85 percent drop in estrogen levels.
Now, obviously, since that had just a few women and no control group, we have to do bigger, better studies. However, with no downsides, I would suggest endometriosis sufferers give seaweed a try.
