Amber Bryant – Raising Money for Endometriosis Research

The article, “Amber Bryant – Raising Money for Endometriosis Research“, was written by Bill Ormonde and published on Tue 22 April 2025 at 0607.

Amber, at 28-years-old, can barely get out of bed some days due to her endometriosis, ran to raise the awareness of the disease for Endometriosis Australia — a disease she has struggled with since she was 16, but was only diagnosed with in April 2023.

As Amber states, her treatment from the medical profession was appalling. “I dreaded going to the doctors because I thought that they felt like I was making it up.

Unfortunately her efforts are in vain because she is not treating the fundamental cause, that is an excess of sex-hormones, in particular estradiol.

The good news is that the cause is already known. I have contacted Amber as well as Endometriosis Australia and provided references from peer-reviewed medical journals and the remarkable story of Katherine Lawrence who cured her endometriosis in 7 weeks by changing her diet. I have not received a response.

In the video, Neal tells the story of Katherine Lawrence who was an Air Force officer working as an aerospace engineer. In 2003, she was one of the first group of people in Iraq, building air bases.

Cheese was one of her favourite foods, so when she returned from Iraq she devoured large quantities of cheese and cheese dishes.

As a result she gained a substantial amount of weight and started getting pain in her abdomen that become much worse over time. A doctor performed a laparoscopy – the body is examined through a scope inserted into an incision below the belly button. This resulted in a diagnosis of endometriosis.

From the World Health Organization Endometriosis Fact Sheet – 24 March 2023
Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can cause severe pain in the pelvis and make it harder to get pregnant. With endometriosis, tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. This leads to inflammation and scar tissue forming in the pelvic region and (rarely) elsewhere in the body.
The cause of endometriosis is unknown. There is no known way to prevent endometriosis. There is no cure, but its symptoms can be treated with medicines or, in some cases, surgery. It causes a chronic inflammatory reaction that may result in the formation of scar tissue (adhesions, fibrosis) within the pelvis and other parts of the body.
Enhanced awareness, followed by early diagnosis and management may slow or halt the natural progression of the disease and reduce the long-term burden of its symptoms, including possibly the risk of central nervous system pain sensitization.

Her doctor stated that her only option was a hysterectomy – an operation that removes the uterus and in this case the ovaries and fallopian tubes.

Katherine and her family wanted to start a family but with the condition that Katherine was in this was an impossibility, so she agreed to the operation that was scheduled in six weeks time.

Before the operation, Katherine removed all animal products and started consuming a low-fat diet in an attempt to control the severe pain that she was suffering. She started to feel much better. She had her procedure performed on the appointed day. The doctor opens her up and an hour later Katherine woke up in the recovery room. The doctor told Katherine,

Katherine. I opened you up. I sewed you right back up. I didn’t take your uterus out. We didn’t do the procedure at all.” “Your endometriosis – I can’t explain it – it’s gone. It’s gone.

Her mother was in the room. Her mother said, “She went vegan.” The doctor replied,

Stop it. Stop it. Food does not cause endometriosis, and a diet change couldn’t possibly have made this go away. This had to be just a miracle.

It was easier for the doctor to believe that a miracle cured Katherine than the more realistic fact that endometriosis is caused by an excess of estrogen. Take away the excess estrogen and it stops. A diet that is high in fibre and low in fat causes estrogen hormones to reduce.

Listen to Neal’s video as he continues Katherine’s “miracle” story which has a much greater impact on her health and life.

Minimising estrogen activity not only benefits females but has a remarkable impact on the the health of males. 1 ~ 2 ~ 3 ~ 4 ~ 5 ~ 6 ~ 7 ~ 8

This did NOT require the purchase of supplementary products. Further details are accessible from the right panel of my website by clicking on the green VIDEOS button.

According to a journal article published in 2020, 9

This disorder [endometriosis] highly estrogen-dependent and the purpose of hormonal treatments is to decrease the endogenous ovarian production of estrogens. High estrogen production is a consistently observed endocrine feature of endometriosis.

According to the following 2005 journal article, 10

At the end of the second month of the very low fat, high fiber diet, there was a significant reduction in serum estrone and estradiol levels during the early follicular and late luteal phases.
The paper was published two decades ago.

The “very-low fat diet” is simply a whole-food, plant-based diet with NO added oils (or salt). Coconut oil, olive oil or mayonnaise are not healthy and are most assuredly NOT associated with a natural diet of humans (or chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orangutans). This includes no “fake” meats.


No amount of research or fund-raising will result in a cure for endometriosis because the fundamental cause is not being address.

As the ancient Chinese text, the I Ching states,

Perseverance alone does not assure success. No amount of stalking will lead to game in a field that has none.

Solutions must be found in the realms of possibilities and it helps to have an expanded sense as to what these possibilities are.
