During the last stage of the menstrual cycle, normally a layer of endometriosis lining on the inside of the uterus is expelled, known as menstruation blood, instead some of the endometriosis tissues grow somewhere in the body to cause endometriosis. Endometriosis also react to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, by building and breaking up tissues and eliminating them through menstrual period.
Magnesium (Mg) is a trace mineral and has an atomic number of 32. Women with endometriosis were found to have low levels of magnesium during the menstrual cycle, causing symptoms of endometriosis and menstrual cramps. Please make sure to take magnesium together with vitamin C for better digestive absorption and the intake ratio of magnesium and calcium should always be 1 to 2

1. Abnormal cell development(1)
Deficiency of magnesium decreases the ability of DNA and RNA(2) synthesis in the body leading to cell abnormality, such as peritoneal cells growing into endometrial cells in the abdomen.

2. Protagslandins hormones
Magnesium is essential for liver to balance the protagslandins hormones that control the uterine muscles during the menstrual cycle. Deficiency of magnesium causes the over-production of certain hormones in the prostaglandins family resulting in menstrual cramps(3) for women with endometriosis.

3. Nervous system(2)
Deficiency of magnesium decreases the carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism(4) of the liver leading to nutrient deficiency of nerve cells. Without enough nutrients for the nervous system it causes symptoms of endometriosis such as anxiety(5), and depression(6) as resulting of nervous system tensions.

4. Estrogen
Since magnesium helps in synthesis of protein and fat, it helps the liver to produce good estrogen which keeps the levels of bad estrogen in check resulting in lessening the levels of period pain and menstrual cramps(3).

5. Circulation system(2)
Magnesium also plays an important role in lowering the levels of bad cholesterol in the arteries(9) which helps to increase the blood circulation of oxygen and the carrying of nutrients to the body's brain cells. This helps to reduce tension of the nervous system and decreases the risk of heart diseases(7) and stroke(8).

Endometriosis: The Effects of Minerals Selenium(revised edition with references)

Endometriosis also react to hormone signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, by building and breaking up tissues and eliminating them through menstrual period.

Selenium (Se) was discovered in 1817 by Jon Jakob Berzelius. It is a chemical element with the chemical number of 34 and atomic mass of 78.96. It is necessary for cellular function in our body for reducing certain oxidized molecules.

Selenium is a very important trace element for our body. Too little selenium or too large an amount of selenium can result in certain types of disease, therefore if you want to take selenium supplements, it is for your own good to talk to your doctor first.

1. Immune system(1)(2)
Selenium is an antioxidant. When it works with vitamin E, it helps to improve the immune system(3) in fighting against abnormal cell development such as endometriosis implants and adhesion, oxidation of fat, and cancer(4).

2. Menstrual cramps(5)
Selenium is necessary for a strong liver to ensure the secretion of bile to the intestine for protein and fat metabolism, which are essential for our brain cells. Deficiency of selenium(6) causes brain cell inability to perform their function resulting in weakening the signal transmitting for hormonal production which regulates the woman's menstrual cycle leading to menstrual cramps.

3. Nervous and circulation systems(2)
Since we already know that selenium is vital for our brain cell to carry daily activities, deficiency of selenium causes depletion of oxygen levels in our blood as well as blocking the transportation of nutrients to our body's cells as resulting of high levels of bad cholesterol(8) in our blood leading to symptoms of endometriosis, heart diseases(7), and stroke(7).

4. Respiratory system(9)
Some researchers have suggested that selenium supplementation, along with other nutrients, can help prevent the recurrence of certain lung diseases and improve the lung. If it is true, then it is important for women with endometriosis, because a strong lung helps the bloodstream to absorb more oxygen which is vital for our body's cells to perform daily functions.
Low levels of selenium in the body may cause kidney disease(10)(11) and arthritis(12).

Anti Ageing Tips(11): Clinical proven in Rejuvenating of Your Arms(From Shoulder to Wrist)

The below tips have been proven through our clinical studies of over 400 subjects between age of 57 - 63. If you are in this age, you can expect the same results(a)(b)(c).

A. Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) and vitamin E and A(1)
1. The chemical reaction of Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA)
Vitamin C + Water -----> Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA ) + 2e- +2H+
2. Vitamin E chemical structure

The α-tocopherol form of vitamin E
3. Vitamin A: C20H30O
The equipment and Preparation
1. One bottle of synthetic vitamin C 100x 500mg tablets. You can purchase this in any pharmacy for about $5.00
2. A bottle of vitamin E purified oil (You can only buy it from any pharmacy for $10) (We used provitamin E produced by Jamieson, due to complaints of irritation and stickiness of many tested subjects, You can also buy it at any pharmacy and super market for about $20 for a jar of 60ml)
3. A jar of provitamin A produced by Jamieson, due to complaints of irritation and stickiness of many tested subjects on vitamin A purofied oil, You can also buy it at any pharmacy and super market for about $15 for a jar of 120 ml)
4. A small bottle carries 100mL of warm tap water or still-water if desire.
5. A roll of bounty or a half hand size sponge.
6. A pair of plastic glove.

Please Note, Kyle J. Norton and Associates DO NOT receive funding from Jamieson(The giant vitamins company)

How to make Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) 4% concentration
Day one
Put 8 tablets of synthetic vitamin C into the bottle which carries 100 mL of water[(8x500mg)/100mL=4000mg/100,000mg=4/100=4% concentration of Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA)] on the day before application to make sure all vitamin C tablets are dissolved.

How to Rejuvenate of Your Arms(From Shoulder to Wrist)
The next day
Put on your glove. Shake the bottle well. Pour some Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA ) onto a piece of fold-twice bounty paper towels.
Apply the solutions 3 times a days
Application first of Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) 4% concentration to induce skin cleansing through its detoxified, antioxidant and cell and collagen regeneration effects by rubbing against the skin of the effects area with little pressure for about one minutes. Apply more solution if require. Wait for 5 minutes then apply vitamin E directly and generously onto fingers and the back of your hands. Wait for 5 minutes, do the same with vitamin A.

After applying, clean the sponge if used and glove, return and store the bottle of solution and vitamin E. A into first aid box in room temperature. Replace the solution of Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA ) every ten days to retain accurate concentration.

What to expect
1. In the first few days of application
The wrinkles, lines, creases, chapping of your skins begin to recede. Increased skin firming, smoothing, elasticity are at work in replacement of sagging skin.

2. In a few weeks
Depending to types of skin and severity of the effected areas, and according to our clinical study,
the combination of solution Rejuvenate of Your Arms(From Shoulder to Wrist) up to 90%. According to the study of ages between 57 - 62, approximately, 100% of tested subjects regain the youthfulness of Arms(From Shoulder to Wrist), achieve 80% in removal of skin chapping, lines, creases, etc., and 85% on reduced visibility of bulging veins and 100% of skin firming, smoothing, elasticity, probably through Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) 4% concentration and vitamin E and A skin cleansing and detoxified, antioxidant and cell and collagen regeneration effects).

Millions have been spent in our studies, we provide this information free and do not ask for anything in return. You promise to tell everyone you know about this webpage and retweet it, so they do not waste any more money on ineffective commercial products.

Precautions
1. Always testing your topical skin solution, including Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA ) and vitamin E for allergic reaction, by applying a tiny portion onto your wrist for 5 minutes. Do not use the solution if there is.
2. Although there were no adverse effect in our study, please make sure you always wear gloves before applying, as higher concentration than that ofDehydroascorbic acid (DHA) 4% concentration has been shown to cause brownness on the finger nails.
3. The Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) 4% concentration has been shown to cause yellowness on the surface of some metal (very old) sinks, please make sure your test it to avoid the same messes.
4. Higher concentration of the solution has been used in skin tanning industry, please make that Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) 4% concentration is completely absorbed(about 5- 10 minutes) into your skin before going to the extreme sun.
5. If the solutions get into your eyes, use tap water to clear them.
6. Do not attempt to make higher than Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) 4% concentration solution, as it has not been tested.

Endometriosis: The Effects of Minerals Iron

1. Red blood cells
Red blood cells is essential for circulation system. Women with endometriosis are found to have iron deficiency caused by heavy blood flow during menstruation or by the inability of the digestive absorption leading to anemia and symptoms of endometriosis(1)(2) such as fatigue, loss of memory, confusion, and dizziness(3) as a resulting of circulation disorder.

2. Immune system(4)
Immune system helps to fight against the invasion of virus, bacteria, formation of endometrial implants and adhesion. Deficiency of iron causes the inability of our blood to transport the necessary nutrients to our body's cells leading to a weakened immune system in many aspects(5).

3. Nervous system(3)(7)
Since protein synthesis and fat metabolism by liver provide the necessary nutrients to our brain for regulating our body's daily functions(6). Iron increases the production of red blood cells which is vital for nutrient transportation in our bloodstream and helps to nourish a strong nervous system. Without enough iron, it causes tension in the nervous system resulting in endometrial symptoms.

4. Digestive system(8)(9)
Since iron is hard to absorb for our digestive system, study shows that only 10% of iron supplements are absorbed(10) and ranged from 2.1% to 23.0% from whole diet and may be even lower for women with endometriosis. Intake with vitamin C will help to increase the level of absorption by 30%(11)(12).
