I've been using this! Perfect 28 day cycles with 3-4 days of menstrating. No heavy bleeding, no clots..no unexpected flash flood of blood either.

This helped me ALOT. I'm taking two teaspoons a day for half a year now and my severe pain is gone. I went from crying on my bed for years and even a hospital visit because of a cyst to almost no pain at all. A little discomfort while menstruating but nothing more. A real life saver, I can't thank you enough for sharing this! I hope more women with endometriosis learn about this.

I suffer with uterine fibroids which caused me crippling menstruations pain. I recently had a craving for seaweed and ate 2 sheets everyday for 3-4wks and I realized that my pain was substantially less. The next month I didn't eat very much (3-4 sheets in total) and had pain so strong my husband rushed me to the hospital because he was so worried. I had a feeling the seaweed was helping...🤘🏽

Last year I was diagnosed with endometriosis and told that it increases my risk of ovarian cancer. I asked about natural solutions and the doctor said there were none. Why in the hell didn't he tell me about this?! Thank you Dr. Greger for putting out such great information and actually trying to help people instead of just scaring them.

You are the best doctor ever. I can tell you actually want to help people and not just put money in big pharmas pockets! I loved your book. I've been suffering with a condition such as this for about a year now & this information was very helpful. THANK YOU!!! ❤️🙏🏻

Being deficient in iodine causes many female issues such as endometriosis, pcos, fibroids, and fibrocystic breast disease. Taking a low dose of iodine supplement with selenium can have significant benefits. Iodine in the seaweed is beneficial

Just sent this video to a friend who battles with this disease. Thank you for the report!

I'm so glad you posted this finally! I've just spent the last three months with my period... finally halted it with Chinese herbs and accupucture. For the future I will most definitely add seaweed into my diet so this hopefully doesn't occur for a third time.

Tried the kelp E for the first time. I must say I have never felt this hydrated in years. Truly amazing!

I have 20 day long periods often, I'm going to try this 😱 fingers crossed been vegan a year now and little improvement:(

I'm crying. I have stage 4 endometriosis. I've had 6 surgeries. my body is ruined and full of scar tissue and fibroids. I've been on everything. The pain has gotten so bad. I'm now disabled and in pain management. I also have intense pain in my legs. my doctor says is probably from nerve damage from the endometriosis or scar tissue. all of my obgyn doctors gave up on me and sent me to pain management. you wouldn't believe the medication I am prescribed to try to have a normal life. yet, I still don't because of the horrible pain and nausea.

This couldn't have come at a better time, thank you SO much Dr Greger! <3 xx

Thank you so much for making this video. I've been waiting for videos about endometriosis. I have it myself, but have found ways to feel my best. Such as eating a whole foods plant based diet, lots of fruit, 1L smoothie a day and lots of sweating through hot yoga, keeping it low fat also helps, but some fat is important.

Hope to see more videos about endometriosis! I'm gonna try the seaweed. Any recommendations for the brand?

This is great information for women. I eat the green seaweed that has Korean writing on the package. Because I like the taste so this is good to learn of its benefits.
