She is applying natural progesterone cream according to Dr. John Lee's Book. It seems to me that she feels better and her tumors are grwoing very sloly. I t depends on how old you are. It depends on your Dr. Actually if they are not causing a problem please do not worry as they very seldom cause cancer There are at least three lists on that focus on Uterine Fibroids. You may wish to check these out. There you may find some comfort in the futrure options of treatment. . If you don't find them -get back to me. Is there anothe name for Red Root?

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Be aware that most allopathic doctors will suggest that if you have large fibroids that you have a hysterectomy. Unless there is evidence of cancer, I would avoid this at all costs. My mom had a huge fibroid (about the size of a small baby) which she had removed, along with her uterous (there were indications of pre-cancerous tissues. It's the first, knee-jerk reaction most allopaths will have, and you need to stand firm about not having the surgery as long as there's no sign of cancer. It's not an easy surgery to recover from, and annoying as heck to lose one's ovaries too, and have to go on hormone therapy. Best of luck!

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 One thing I would change, if you haven't already, are the pads and/or tampons your using. Buy all natural ones at the health food store. Commercial pads and tampons are sterilized with mercury and can perpetuate the problem of heavy blood flow. I haven't had these problems personally, but I do know of a person who did have this problem. When she changed to natural, the blood flow became normal. I hope this helps you.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 Hello all, I totally agree with you here Mary Ann, although I had never heard about the mercury in tampons making a flow worse - that doesn't surprise me though. I have taken it a step farther and seldom use tampons anymore at all - only on the last few days if I need to go out. I find that I have less cramping and pain when NOT using them... I suspect that has something to do with " blocking the flow " of energy plays into that as well... I am a stay at home mom so using pads instead of tampons is easier for me than for someone that might be more active but I suggest sticking to the pads when at home as much as possible. You can use the all natural pads or make your own washable ones from flannel or other soft fabric. You should be able to find some info on that using google.com. There are also some " keeper cups " that you can purchase (sorry don't have url at hand right now...). They are reusable and last for ages. Another good option to tampons with all the bleach and other chemicals in them.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 Hi Lisa, I have read your post and lived your story. I suffered from fibroids for over 20 years. I had a DNC and they grew back. I tried the holistic method for several years and that didn't help either. My cycle was lasting almost 3 weeks and I was anemic (no surprise there). I changed my eating habits and I ingested all kinds of vitamins. Changed the tampons to napkins. Then changed to natural napkins. Nothing seemed to help me. I decided to have the surgery. It was the best decision of my life. My recovery time was 4 weeks. I think it was short and easy because psychologically I was ready for it and knew that I had fought the good fight. I decided against traditional hormone therapy. My attitude improved immediately and my sex drive went into over drive. I have been one happy pain free woman for over 10 years. Every now and then I get a hotflash. To remedy that I have made myself a spray with a touch of peppermint that cools the body down and leaves me feeling refreshed. Everyone has to make their own decision of course. This is just some input from someone who chose to go the recommended route after trying many alternative routes.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 I used sea sponges for years. They are reusable. Some people put dental floss in them for a " string " but I never cared to. You rinse them out when they get full. If its inconvenient to rinse (like a public bathroom), you just squeeze them out and reinsert. Clean them at the end of your period.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Dear Babes, Namaste. Please refer Messages 109 and 1627 which give pranic healing protocols for fibroids. You will need to login to and type " fibroids " in the Search Archive box or type in the message number in the message number box to get to the message. The first option is the one I normally go for before posting a request. This way, we can find lots of interesting information about the ailment which will prove very helpful. However, this approach may not work 100% when the patient has multiple ailments or if the ailment has not been medically diagnosed. In such cases, it would be advisable to scan the patient to evaluate the condition of all chakras and organs and report your findings alongwith your query. This would help Marilette in providing a more comprehensive protocol and would be more helpful to the patient too. In order to monitor the condition of all major and minor chakras and organs of patients, I have, during my initial days, prepared a Patient Scan Form in tabular format (Microsoft Word) which I could email it to you, if you wish. This helps in future monitoring of the conditions of the chakras and organs, after a few healing sessions, which in turn would give us a clue on the right application of the protocol.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I have fibroids. Mine shrank considerably when I began taking a mixture of flax seed oil and cottage cheese (FSO/CC). It also virtually cured me of continual back spasms. My husband had precancerous prostate cells. He began the FSO/CC for prevention and/or to keep the cancer from growing. I began eating it with him for moral support and to work with recipes to make it taste better. My understanding is that the common element in cancer, fibroids, and back spasms is inflammation. I'm certainly no authority on this. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have with regard to our experience but the real experts are on the FlaxSeedOil2 board.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 dt.13.1.2004 fibroids can be removed within a short time through reiki. you can take reiki treatment. i have been working for a long time on harmful energies and feel this is your and your husband`s case. one of the ways i follow for all round peace, better health & prosperity which is basically asking for forgiveness. i am from india. so many westerners do not believe in past births but no harm in trying a declaration. in my eyes it is etheric substance in your case or evil energy which needs to be driven out. the same could be the case with your husband. i have seen cancer death-bed patients cured 100% within 20/25 days through reiki healing along with forgiveness system. presently i am not giving reiki. i am sending you the system along with 2 writeup which may benefit you a lot. you are free to share it with others. i have only been permitted only 7 days ago by my angels to make it public. i pray to god to give you the required healing.if others share with me the results i may fine tune the system. you should see the result within 7/10 days. d.k.kothari - thegips Tuesday, January 13, 2004 7:48 AM Re: Fibroids I have fibroids.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Hi Kim, I have the fibroids. They wanted to do a hysterectomy on me as well. After alot of research, I found that if you had them removed, they just grow back again. As long as they are not effecting your bladder or any other organ, they are just a pain, but they shrink after menopause. I totalling changed my diet, started walking each day, and it made a huge difference. I stay away from all dairy products, and stay away from all soy products. I've lost 17 lbs in the process and that makes a difference in terms of the estrogen in your system. I got most of this information from Dr. Lees book as well as some others.

She sent me to her specialist which immediately said hysterectomy without giving me any further tests. I have still not done anything about them. I had to urinate frequently at one point but that has pretty much gone away. As long as I watch what I eat and drink they cause me no problems. If I start overeating and eating junk, sugar, etc, then they seem to get larger and give me back problems. I truly do not believe that my fibroids were causing kidney problems. I was diagnosed back in November 2003 and the specialist told me I needed to have a hysterectomy atleast by January. I would assume by now I would be having some severe symptoms in regards to my kidney. I have a hard time trusting dr's. I am eventually going to see a holistic dr and see what they say ..

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Hi Kim, There is a called uterinefibroids which is excellent. It is moderated by Carla Dion who has written a very good book on the subject, and is the head of the uterine fibroids association in the United States. The group has about 2,000 members and has been going for quite a few years now. The group takes the position that most hysterectomies are totally unnecessary. It looks at the position of the fibroids and the details relevant to the woman who has them, in terms of the appropriate treatment. I myself had a myomectomy, which is removal of the fibroids only, leaving the uterus intact. As you said, fibroids do shrink upon upon menopause as they are estrogen-fed. Each woman's situation is unique. The uterinefibroids group is very assertive in terms of getting a number of different opinions from a number of doctors and women taking the reins in their own health care. They will help you a lot. Good luck. Noelene > > Kimberly McDonald <kmcdonald03@s...> wrote: > Oh I know. It was unbelievable to me that they immediately said > hysterectomy.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hello Fibroids with pregnancy? Rather tricky situation here. We have successfully treated a few nonpregnant patients with fibroid. Surgery could be avoided with reduction in size of firbroid with resolution of symptoms. Ages varied from 30 to 55. Mostly pitta vitiation was found. Main symptoms were bleeding (menorrhagia), and pain. Treatment with Basti really helped. Some say that fibroids are mamsa-dhatu vruddhi. Herbs such as guggulu can be used to treat mamsa dhatu, but you must watch for pitta (guggulu may increase pitta). Combination of Nimba patol triphala musta and kutaj may help as this combination is used to normalize mamsadhatu.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hi Betsy - You might want to check with the methods used by practioners trained by Jyoti Miller, which include flower essences around the emotional cause and essential oils with the conventional castor oil belly packs that otherwise are slower than molasses in winter. We are advised to avoid castor oil in pregnancy internally, I do not know topically probably also the case. My friend Nancy Phillips (http://www.ayurvedicbalance.com/) trained there and would probably be available for consult, she has had some good success with these (if non preg) methods I haven't seen used by other schools of Ayurveda in this country. She has been doing much advanced study also with Dr. Ramakant Mishra the last year or more, and is a very good practitioner (Chicago based). Some of the herb preps Dr. Thite so kindly and quickly responded with I don't believe are available to you/us in the states though we do have the guggulu. It would require for sure guidance by someone experienced, not just advice over the internet. Jyoti's/Nancy's therapy also includes of large gentle/slow client paced rectal administration called Colema of 5 gal of triphala tea (made from whole fruits of the three ingredients) which has to be avoided if pregnant. Followed by 1/2 cup warm sesame oil basti to restore oleation balance/lubrication to the colon cells. If pregnant there are essential oils which would be safe to use for the pain, Baby!, inflammation, and other symptoms but what I hear is pregnant fibroids usually have to wait till after the birth. Most practitoners I know of at other times advise large ones be surgically removed and then address the causes naturally. Dr. Lad's Ayurvedic Perspectives on selected Pathologies has an excellent article on pain, and I would be surprised if there wasn't a reprint availaable on the fibroids subject, from the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque. You could go to their website or call to enquire. You will find many discussions and advice from vaidyas by searching the post archives for fibroid at http://health.ayurveda/ Wishing her the best guidance and blessings! Ysha > What are Ayurvedic tratments for large baseball sized fibroids? There is a mama here in alot of pain and her doctor put her on pain meds which is making her dizzy and sick. I'm sure the baby doesn't feel so good either at this point. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hello, If she is 8 months complete, I feel basti can be safely given (basti is routinely given by us during 9th month). Basti works on apana vata which also facilitates the process of labor- normal function of apana. Oil basti smoothens and nourishes the pelvic, vaginal, and uterine muscles, leading to a smooth labor process. During earlier months of pregnancy basti is not advised because it may hasten the labor immaturely. But during 9th month, basti helps in engaging the infant and eventually paves way for the natural labor. <It would require for sure guidance by someone experienced, not just advice over the internet.> Yes she certainly needs such guidance.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Dr. Thite, Would this be about 1/2 cup sesame oil, or bala/ashwagandha tailam (herbalized) sesame oil? How often would you give in this case? The effect on the fibroid would be to lessen pain?

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hello, Pain suggests obstructions to vata movement which is obvious. (During ninth month the uterus is stretched to its limits and it prepares itself to bring the baby down and I imagin that the fibroids would be obstructing that process. If she has typical vata excess/obstruction, I would give plain sesame oil 50 ml with a pinch of rock salt daily for two to three days as a general measure. Specifics may differ, i.e., after seeing the patient and detailed history taking, one may have differnce of opinion. E.g. suppose one finds she has excess of kapha, oil basti may not be advised. The herb combinations should be interpreted as per ayurvedic terms. The combination should match the condition as best as possible. E.g. herb bala is very sticky (picchila) but cool in property hence it can be used for vata with Ruksha (dry) and Khara(rough?) property. Ashwagandha is little hot but excellent anti-vata and nourishing herb. Namaste, Dr. Thite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 The first thing that comes to mind, is to start castor oil packs on your abdomen.
