I'm not sure, but I think that lemon egg was one of the things that can help.

She has had 2 ovarian cysts for 2 years (she has no children) One is the size of a softball and the other a golf ball. She had no medical insurance until recently and the Dr (Butcher) wants to operate which will mean she will never be able to have children. She is engaged and will be married in May, they have been unable to have sex for about six months due to the pain.Anyway.... I just talked to her and asked her to start hot and cold therapy and castor oil packs.I need to pick your brains for ideas to help her!!! Anyone know what else to do??I wish she had spoken up before, she lives a few states away so I had no idea until talk of the surgery. Any help is appreciated in advance.Thanks MuchJamie in AZ

What is her diet like....eat/drink etc.. this will probably need to change too.. Also, if it were me I would be downing the Essiac also, along with doing a kidney cleanse to start.

and also the female formula in the files.

Here is also some info I had from some time back...

Vitamin E is often helpful in preventing and reducing cysts, as it provides hormonal balance. The gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) available in evening primrose oil is highly recommended for building anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. They can also be found in cod or halibut liver oil, flax seed oil, olive oil, black currant oil or oil of borage. Vitamin C with bioflavonoids is

also helpful in combating inflammation. Bioflavonoids are plant substances that exist naturally with vitamin C and protect estrogens. They prevent estrogens from being broken down too rapidly, thereby increasing overall estrogen activity. They are abundantly available in citrus fruits, garlic, onions, peppers, cherries, berries, grape seed, currants and many other foods. In supplement form, look for rutin, hesperidin, catechin, quercetin, grape seed extract or pycnogenol. To support the health of the ovarian lining, vitamin A or beta-carotene is useful.

Dong quai, licorice, black cohosh, chaste berry, damiana, raspberry, sage, ginseng, fennel and gotu kola regulate estrogen. False Unicorn. also. (This is where the female formula above comes in)

Is she able to be up and around? The more she moves around, the more likely

that the cysts will pop. I have had problems with ovarian cysts all my

life, and have never allowed them to do surgery. I had one that was very

large, that the Dr.s wanted to cut out, I refused and it did pop (not

without a great deal of pain, but it did), and have since had a son. I

think you're giving her good advice on what to do, and I'm sure everyone

else will have more wonderful ideas for her.
