Coping with illnessEndometriose: Schmerzfrei durch optimale Ernährung und einen gesunden Umgang mit Stress
Ein Selbsthilfekonzept
by Nicole von Hoerschelmann
Eine chronische Endometriose spielt sich nicht nur im biologischen, sondern auch im sozialen Leben von Frauen ab. Denn wenn starke chronische Schmerzen über eine längere Zeit den Alltag dominieren, verändert sich auch die Person. Nicole von Hoerschelmann ist Dipl.-Psychologin und berät Schmerzpatient*innen einer Rehabilitationsklinik. 1991 erkrankte sie im Alter von 22 Jahren an Endometriose. Da trotz mehrfacher operativer Eingriffe die Schmerzen blieben, suchte sie nach Behandlungsalternativen. Dabei stieß sie immer wieder auf den Zusammenhang zwischen Krankheit und Ernährung – sowohl als Genesungs- wie auch als Risikofaktor. Um nicht dauerhaft auf die Einnahme von Schmerzmitteln angewiesen zu sein, begann sie, verschiedene Ernährungsempfehlungen zu optimieren und mit ihren beruflichen Erfahrungen aus der Schmerzberatung zu verbinden. Nicole von Hoerschelmann hat daraus ein alltagstaugliches Selbsthilfekonzept entwickelt, mit dem sie bis heute schmerzfrei lebt. Endometriose und Ernährung

MedicineFebruary 1993Clinical Applications of Mifepristone (RU486) and Other Antiprogestins
Assessing the Science and Recommending a Research Agenda
by Molla S. Donaldson, Laneta Dorflinger, Sarah S. Brown, and Leslie Z. Benet, Editors; Committee on Antiprogestins: Assessing the Science, Institute of Medicine
Mifepristone (RU486), the first clinically available antiprogestin, has generated great interest since its discovery in the early 1980s. Today, it is recognized that mifepristone, along with other antiprogestins, has a potentially significant therapeutic role in human health and disease, with likely applicability to a variety of pregnancy-related conditions (e.g., management of labor) and to contraception, endometriosis, and cancer, among others. But because mifepristone has been studied and used most widely as a means of nonsurgical abortion, political issues have thus far limited research on the drug and prevented its introduction into the U.S. market. This book provides an unbiased evaluation of current knowledge about both the fundamental nature of antiprogestins as well as their possible use in treating numerous diseases and conditions, and it contains recommendations for future research.

Gynaecology & obstetricsMarch 2012Advances in Ovarian Cancer Management
by Peter E Schwartz
The sixteen chapters of Advances in Ovarian Cancer Management present a concise, timely and comprehensive overview on the current status of the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of women with epithelial ovarian cancer. The book introduces the incessant menstruation hypothesis, which may allow physicians to better understand and explain to patients why many serous ovarian cancers may actually be originating from the fimbriated end of the fallopian tube and why endometrioid and clear cell cancers may arise in association with endometriosis. Subsequent chapters discuss diagnostic evaluation prior to the patient undergoing treatment and the surgical and chemotherapeutic management of the disease. There are overviews of new approaches such as anti-angiogenesis therapy, PARP inhibitors, immunotherapy and emerging target therapies. Discussions of alternative treatment strategies, such as neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical cytoreduction and adjuvant chemotherapy are included, together with the management of recurrent ovarian cancer, both from a surgical perspective and from a perspective of chemotherapeutic agents. Advances in Ovarian Cancer Management concludes with a chapter on palliative care, a critical part of the overall management of women with this devastating disease. The final chapter provides contemporary guidelines for the initial management of ovarian cancer as well as for recurrent disease.

Lynne explains how Reiki can help simple complaints like headaches, general pain and discomfort through to managing anger, emotions, stress and anxiety. A body with negative energy responds well to Reiki treatment and this therapy can help with conditions such as depression, MS and is a most beneficial addition to medical treatment for conditions such as cancer.Curing and healing are two completely different things and for a body to be cured of many conditions the healing process must be restored and Reiki aims to help this process. Lynne answers Reiki safety questions, can anyone recieve Reiki treatment , explains the bodies Chakras that control our life force and shares case studies from her clients to explain the benefits of Reiki for good health.She answers the critics who claim Reiki is just a placebo and explains the bodies response to everyday ilnesses and complaints from I.B.S through to migraines, allergies and many more common complaints.
