 Hey y'all, welcome to what Chelsea eats. Thank you so much for joining me. Today I want to talk to you about endometriosis and hysterectomy. And I have two stories to share with you and one happened when I was 28 years old and I had gone to work for this company and I got a new administrative assistant and when I first started working there she actually had just had a hysterectomy because of endometriosis. She had a really bad it was all of her abdomen covered all of her female organs and it was what she said just excruciating pain was a terrible experience and she had to get up complete and total hysterectomy. Every organ, the ovaries, the uterus, the cervix, everything is gone. And so one thing that I observed about her back then and I was 28 years old so I didn't have the wisdom that I have now at 45 but looking back I can tell that she was really angry and bitter. I don't know if she was angry and bitter because she got a hysterectomy or if she was angry and bitter and that's what caused her endometriosis. I'm not sure what her situation was but I do know that female health issues can have a spiritual root to them. I you know not can I think they do have a spiritual root to them whether it be you have you know some type of trauma that happened to you in the past like somebody raped you or molested you or lied to your betrayed you or abandoned you whatever your issue is everybody has to walk their own walk as far as why they got whatever ailment that they got. But that was one thing that I observed about her and I don't know that she felt better. I wasn't close enough to her and I didn't work with her long enough to be able to decipher whether or not she got angry or bitter because of the hysterectomy. All I know is that she was never she never seemed to write like like normal but I don't know how I didn't have much to compare it to because I didn't know her before she got a hysterectomy I just know that she just wasn't she didn't seem right. The second person that I know that got a hysterectomy because of endometriosis was a woman who was strong in her faith she is strong in her faith and she said to me that she wished she had never done it it was the worst decision that she had ever made in her life and I didn't know her well enough to start asking questions as to well why did you feel like it was the worst decision that you ever made in your life. I don't I didn't know her at the time well enough to be able to ask those deep questions to get more information for you. All I know is that she had to get the hysterectomy because she was eaten up with endometriosis and she not only was eaten up with endometriosis but she got rid of everything like they took everything they took her cervix her uterus her ovaries they took everything and she wasn't okay with it and so I hear so many women say just take it out I'm sick of the bleeding I'm sick of this I just want to get rid of it and they don't do any research and they just do it for whatever reason whether it's fibroids PCOS endometriosis ovariances they just do a cancer they just do it they just take it out and they don't know what the consequences are and the only reason I'm making this video is I'm not saying you should or you shouldn't get a hysterectomy but what I am saying is evaluate your options before you make the decision and doctors will often say the only option you have is a hysterectomy because that is what they actually told me and it wasn't ended up not being true because I have my female reproductive system I still have it it's intact and let me tell you I was sick and if you've watched any of my other videos explaining some of those things and if you have you have if you have the fibroid detox e-course you hear my story in there if you have been on the foods to avoid the shrink fibroid tumors webinar you've heard some of my story on there so like I'm not coming from a place where I wasn't really sick I was like the doctors were like you need to sign into the hospital today to get this done there's no time for you to be thinking about it that's how serious my problem was so I'm not speaking flippantly on this all I know is that every woman who gets a hysterectomy is not okay on the other side of it it is worth looking at the natural route and at least trying it to see if you can make some progress before you make that huge leap as a matter of fact I was at a networking event maybe about a month ago and this woman was like you know well when you go to a networking group depending on how the networking group is set up you can give you a little elevator speech and I gave my elevator speech about what I do how I help women who um have female related issues and help them heal naturally from fibroids ovariances pcs endometriosis etc so I said my little uh elevator speech and the woman one of the women were there and she said I got a hysterectomy and it was the best thing I ever did I was like well great but one thing she said that most people will say she said I didn't know that there were any other options if I had known there were any other options I would have tried the natural route first and if it didn't work then I would have gotten a hysterectomy she didn't even get presented with the option so that's that's all I'm trying to say here I'm not bashing hysterectomies or anything like that although I believe that we need all of our organs and we should be able to keep all of our organs and that we should not have to get them cut out um because it isn't necessary because I believe that it is possible to heal naturally and there are so many testimonies about women who have healed naturally and even if they don't completely get rid of the problem there is a way to lessen those symptoms so that they're not living in agony every day of their life so that's all I'm saying here there are other options you don't have to live um with thinking that you have to get a hysterectomy because for me thinking about a hysterectomy was like it was like losing part of my femininity like you know when your hair falls out and you start to get like bald spots and you you touch your hair and like in your hand you got like a handful of hair in your hands you know stuff like that like it takes away feeling like a woman that's how it felt for me to think about even anything remotely close to getting a hysterectomy that's how I felt and I'm sure there are a lot of women out there who are struggling with that decision but there are also some women who are just kind of like oh it's no big deal go ahead and get it it's no problem and that's not always the case for every woman it's just not some women need to get a hysterectomy but most women don't and I think that doctors today they just prescribe that hysterectomy for everybody who has a fibroid everybody who has you know a female health issue and they're past like when they want to have children and all that stuff and they say you either need to get a myomectomy or you know this surgery or that surgery or a hysterectomy and it's not the answer because it doesn't answer the root cause of the problem you've got to address the root cause of the problem which is estrogen dominance that's one part of the root and other stuff is the emotional part of why you got the fibroids in the first place why did your body develop the fibroids so anyway I saw I wanted to say I hope you all are doing well if you have questions about endometriosis or any other type of female related issue please put them below I'll be glad to answer them if you don't hear back from me it's because I didn't see the message I didn't because I answer every message that I see so I just wanted to tell you that anyway I'll talk to you all soon take care
