Another Example of Modern Medicine Limiting Women's Choices
By Al Sears, MD
I just received a popular medical journal, one that circulates to thousands of doctors nationwide, saying that endometriosis has no cure - that it is a problem women have to learn to live with.
I couldn't disagree more...
When you have endometriosis - a common condition among women - the cells that usually line the inner walls of the uterus begin to grow inside the uterine lining or on the outside of it. The result is chronic pelvic pain. Some women experience pain in their lower back and abdomen too.
I look at endometriosis as just one sign that you have too much estrogen.
Estrogen plays a key role in endometriosis, but most doctors overlook this fact. You see, the cells inside the endometriosis lesions carry a lot more estrogen receptors than average cells. This makes them sensitive to high levels of estrogen in your blood, and the resulting build-up of estrogen creates a never-ending cycle: High estrogen levels continually make the endometriosis worse.
But there's a simple supplement that can gently and naturally cleanse excess estrogen from your body: DIM (diindolylmethane). Derived from cruciferous vegetables, DIM is completely safe. It's one of the reasons broccoli and cauliflower are so healthy.
Take 100 mg of DIM once a day to help restore your estrogen balance and eliminate your symptoms. DIM is available at most health food stores and on the Internet.

It's Good to Know: Tracking Spacecraft from Earth
Space shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to undock from the International Space Station at 11:31 a.m. Eastern Time Sunday, June 17. For a few minutes Sunday and Monday nights, amateur skywatchers will be able to see the two spacecraft moving away from each other, looking like points of light on the same path.
New Yorkers should mark Sunday at 9:52 p.m. and 11:25 p.m., as well as Monday at 10:12 p.m., on their calendars. Chicagoans should be ready Sunday at 10:24 p.m. and Monday at 9:10 p.m. and 10:43 p.m. San Franciscans should look skyward at 9:54 p.m. and 11:28 p.m. on Sunday, and at 10:14 p.m. on Monday.
You'll be able to see this with the naked eye - no telescope needed. With any luck, viewing conditions will be perfect where you are (not a big moon, clear skies, and away from city lights).
Check spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/ for the ideal viewing times in your area and tips on which part of the night sky to look at.

Word to the Wise: Denouement
"Denouement" (day-noo-MAHN) - from the French for "to untie" - is the final resolution or clarification of a dramatic or narrative plot.
Example (as I used it today): "Convention would call for a denouement at this point, the discovery of an elixir that would reverse his bad fortune."
