• 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 and provided her with references from peer-reviewed medical journals and the remarkable story of Katherine Lawrence who cured her endometriosis in 7 weeks by changing her diet. This did NOT require the purchase of supplementary products. Her story is accessible from the right panel of my website by clicking on the green VIDEOS button.

  I have contacted Endometriosis Australia and Amber on several occasions but have not received a response

• Do vegetarians live longer?

  On 2nd February 2017, Melody Ding, a senior researcher from the University of Sydney published an article in The Conversation titled “Do vegetarians live longer? Probably, but not because they’re vegetarian”. Her preferences were revealed early in the article when she writes, “vegetarianism and its more austere cousin, veganism, are becoming increasingly popular”.

  A person calling a vegan diet austere does not know how to cook.

  There is overwhelming evidence that vegans (and particularly whole-food, plant-based vegans) live longer and healthier lives.
