Fraud: endometriosis charlatans

Infertility is sometimes linked to a disease, endometriosis, which affects one in ten women. There is no treatment, so some turn to alternative medicine… and sometimes quacks.
More and more healers promise to relieve the pain of endometriosis, which traditional medicine today cannot cure. They present themselves as coaches and number in the hundreds on social networks. They sometimes offer surprising remedies: discussion groups, intimate baths or herbal teas.
Questionable methods
Mary-Jane Rock’s periods are so painful she can barely stand them. She suffers in particular from vomiting and discomfort. After seeing gynecologists in town and in hospital without results, she turned to a naturopath. “She didn’t know the pathology at all“, confides Mary-Jane. She prescribes young people in particular, in winter. “After four weeks, I had lost four kilos.“
Disappointed, she signed up for an online hypnosis group, led by a woman calling herself a healer. Each consultation cost him 60 euros. Not relieved, Mary-Jane also realized that she was under the influence of her naturopath. To date, there is no treatment to cure endometriosis.
