Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hakim Shiva <hakim Fri, 06 Aug 2004 17:55:32 -0700 Hello Martha and Group, Can Polycystic Ovarian Disease be treated in much the same way as Uterine Fybroids? (same basic herbs, castor oil packs, essential oils, foods) And is surgery the primary option after the cysts/fybroids reach a certain size, and what is that size if so. Thank you for all of your fierce devotion. Namaste, Hakim. Dear Hakim; Speaking of fierce devotion. You honor us all I believe with your question, and I invite anyone's input. PS re site posting; I myself find the easiest way to post messages is to go to www. and my groups, then go to this one. The process is touchy re which email address you use and how messages are addressed. Interesting I just spoke for an hour with Nancy Phillips, ayurvedic practitioner trained by Light Miller in Florida, who has (I mentioned her to you) excellent success with fibroids. I do not have answers much for you here to your quesiton, can only offer my thoughts. #1, certainly makes sense to treat similarly. I'd add slippery elm to the herb/teas understanding that it helps the body keep from creating cysts, according to an intuitive's advice only I can speak this. #2 I really don't know what the disease is by the name, and as you probably know from our common training in Boulder, we are bound to support body systems and such rather than treat/diagnose diseases by name, in ref to our relationship in the medical profession. #3 Nancy's experience is with smaller fibroids, say to large lemon, to date. Dr. Buhrman in Boulder suggests that the larger ones require surgery. I am only reporting. Re Nancy's protocols, I'll share as I get them typed up, with her blessings. WE would I expect all be delighted to hear which you are currently using as well. She focuses on liver flushing, hormonal balancing, emoitonal feminine ego damage, pitta/kapha excess and high ama, includes pitta reducing penetrating and reproductive specific essential oils with castor oil packs 3 times a week only for 2 weeks in addition to her other regimens; sounds much more effective than what Dr. Buhrman is experiencing. NO affiene, low protiens, (esp animal and dairy), dairy, estrogens (esp the synthetics from all forms incl cleaning and body care, saran rap etc), increasing agni without aggravating pitta, other such issues are involved. For the few weeks; then 5 cups daily of a special herbal brew is included as her focus medicine. More later - blessings; Marti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Dear Hakim, From my herbal studies I have learned there is a link between blood sugar & insulin dysregulation, and PCOS/PCOD. I have heard it called " diabetes in disguise " . Certainly reducing exogenous sources of hormones (conventional dairy, meats, plastics...) will help. Endocrine balance also involves minerals and good quality fats in the diet, as well as examining adrenal load: stress from outside allergies, lifestyle) as well as inside (metabolic) causes. For simple cysts, Susun Weed recommends making Chickweed a long-term ally. Months of slow, deep work with her. Yes castor oil packs are wonderful. Certainly I have seen an emotional component~what is the message from deep within your sacred feminine center? From your email I take it you are in Boulder. The herbalists at the Evergreen Center can help you examine your nutrition and select (western) herbs appropriate to your constitution. 2900 Valmont Road Unit F-1 (rear) Boulder 720-406-8609 Blessings, Adrienne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
