The Endometriosis Association

Dear Endo Movement Friend,

WANT TO SEE THESE HEADLINES IN YOUR LIFETIME? YOU CAN!...by supporting the endo movement!
Already, we’ve accomplished so much with your support:

Breakthrough research, including discovery of how very toxic chemicals cause endo (see our last two books, Endometriosis: The Complete Reference for Taking Charge of Your Health and The Endometriosis Sourcebook, for more information).
Changing the attitude that it’s normal (NOT!) for women to suffer with their menstrual cycles and with sex!
Identifying endo as an immune system disease (as well as hormonal) and conducting research to understand and treat endo immune dysfunction.
Providing crisis help and support groups to help families find—
- they’re not alone
- helpful, expert, sensitive healthcare providers
- desperately-needed information so those suffering can get back to real lives
- emotional support and hope

Remember how you felt as a young girl with pain, symptoms you couldn’t get help for – or maybe even talk with someone about?

Remember how you felt? How alone, how scared, how depressed?

Remember how you felt that no one cared?

Millions of young girls (some as young as 9-10 years old) are feeling that way now! The suffering continues!—including two more suicides due to endo this year (who knows how many never come to our attention?).

IF THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN THERE DON’T HELP THESE GIRLS, WHO WILL?!

Download and read the attached article from a 19 year old who has bravely faced endo. Then, please, pick up your pen and write a check or call us and donate with your credit card and help all the Lindsays our there! Show them someone cares!

Thank you in advance for your support,

Mary Lou Ballweg

P.S. I remember the terrible pain I suffered as a teen and young woman. You probably suffered then, too. Please help us help the girls – and everyone – suffering from endo!
