It was filled with dark green fluid-- walnut size, not dangerous or painful. It returned about a year ago. I tried topical natural progesterone skin oil, then Nattokinease capsules I found online, with no effect. Then (in addition to daily vitamins and green powder with juice) started taking 400 IU of vitamin E, 100 mg Vitamin B6, again not much result. Then recently I added a daily kelp tablet containing 225mcg iodine - eureka! The cyst has reduced half in size over a month - and I will update this when it's gone." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/breast-issues.html&name=SM_36878 /CURES/breast-issues.rss2 Fri, 01 Jan 2010 22:24:13 EST [YEA] Nejla from Haledon, Nj writes: "The remedy for Breast pain (Calcifications) I read Earthclinic's remedy for pain due to breast cysts or calcifications & followed the first step to get rid of the pain.

A mammogram showed that I have microcalcification (deposits of calcium in the tissue) in my right breast. I was told that there is nothing I can do about it and that it may be the beginning of cancer. Is there anything you can suggest? In addition, I have several large fibroids (I'm 50) They don't give me much trouble but I can't seem to get rid of them.

The doctor had mentioned that it isn't serious at this time, but would like to operate to make sure. I definitely don't want to go through another operation, and wish to do natural remedies if possible. I used to exercise regularly, but haven't been able to for the last couple of years. At being 43 and no history of any breast cancer in our family, is there alternate routes I could take to prevent any more calcifications? And/or should I monitor and see what the future holds?" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/breast-issues.html&name=VITD_25457 /CURES/breast-issues.rss6 Fri, 17 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EDT T from Maryland, USA writes: "Vitamin D for sensitive/sore breasts: For years I had a problem with overly sensitive breasts. Most of the time I couldn't sleep without a bra because even clothing moving against them was extremely uncomfortable, and the nipples became sore very easily. A few months ago I added vitamin D (in the D3 form) to my supplements. I soon found that the soreness in my breasts disappeared entirely! It has not been a problem since. I take a 1000 IU sublingual "dot" which also contains vitamin K (which works with D for bone health), plus an additional 2000 IU gelcap of D3 alone. Be sure to get adequate calcium and magnesium when supplementing with vitamin D as these need to be balanced for bone health." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/breast-issues.html&name=EC_25165 /CURES/breast-issues.rss7 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Catherine from Wellington, New Zealand writes: "Many years ago I thought I had a major health problem with lumpy ,extremely painful breasts..finally got the courage to go to doctors and hear the bad news..he asked if I drank black coffee!!!! (which I had started doing a few weeks before ) He gave me a booklet (about 30 pages) about the effects of coffee on various organs and glands in the body..after a few days off the coffee breasts were back to normal. Prior to this I had only ever taken an occassional coffee with full cream milk.

After leaving my doctor's office and being told that my hard and lumpy, painful breasts were something I'd have to live with and that I also had a cyst that needed to be looked at by a breast sergion; needless to say I was not happy...I looked at this site and followed Ted's advice and immediatly took the only thing I had in my house -Magnesium Citrate 200mg in am and 200mg in pm, out of the 3 that he mentions (Vitamin E, Chromium and Magnesium) I also drank lemon water with baking soda and water with celtic salt as per his advice. I forgot that I had breasts with in 3-4 days!!!

Is it okay to post a question for help or just a post about a remedy? If question okay.... I started having an amber color discharge upon expression (squeezing) from two of my ducts in my right breast. I told my physician and she told me to go to a breast specialist. I didn't want to make a huge deal about it and read on the internet that it usually isn't a sign of cancer, however, it kept saying that if there's blood in the discharge, you should go to your doctor and get it checked out. Well, about a year or so later, the discharge from one of the ducts started turning a deeper color so I finally made the appointment with the specialist The doc tested it and it did, indeed, test for blood. She also found a lump next to the nipple at 9 o'clock. She said she thinks it's related to the duct with the discharge (and I think that's true b/c when I squeeze the lump spot, the discharge comes out). She did an ultra sound and there was a cyst that she said she's not concerned about but that the lump didn't show up. She said it could be four things: a pappiloma (wart), don't remember two of the other things and cancer. However, I just read this: Most often, nipple discharge stems from a noncancerous (benign) condition. However, breast cancer is a possibility, especially if: - You are over age 40 - You have a lump in your breast - The discharge contains blood - Only one breast is affected Okay, now I am scared -- I can say "yes" to all of the above. Breast specialist told me she wanted me to do a ductogram and a mammogram. I told her I'd think about it and instead went to a homeopath. I tried a remedy for two months. Nothing changed. I followed up with the breast specialist and this time she said that nothing had changed and that her recommendation had changed to doing a biopsy and a mammogram. The problem is that the "biopsy" for this kind of thing is actually surgery -- it's taking the whole duct out to see what's causing the bleeding. I checked this on the internet and it seemed that that is what all the sites were saying too. However, I did read a site where some other women had the same symptoms and did everything the docs suggested (mammo, ducto, biopsy/surgery and cat scan or a test like that) and it ended up being nothing. I am much more of the natural/holistic persuasion and would much rather do this holistically. I am trying acupuncture right now with a long-time acupuncturist who specializes in breast cancer and breast issues. I've been going once a week for six or seven weeks. I also had a lymph massage and went to an energy healer. Nothing's changed and if anything, I think it might now also be swollen in a line next to the "lump". I do have pain (not severe) in the breast. Do you know what this is or should I treat like cancer? Acupuncturist said she didn't think I have cancer. Any and suggestions would be so welcome! Thanks so much in advance for your help." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/breast-issues.html&name=MAMMOGRAMS_24391 /CURES/breast-issues.rss10 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EDT [QUESTION] Janice from Coloma, Mi writes: "I am due to have a mammogram.

Whenever a tissue or a muscle is damaged, assuming the breast from bruises the blood circulation may get obstructed, and once the area heals, the blood leaves, but not the calcium and you get a breast cyst. To neutralize or prevent such formation, blood sugar spikes is best avoided by drinking plenty of water (with a pinch of sea salt) before during and after meals, a chromium supplements (I personally used chromium chloride - so most chromium sold in markets are o.k.). This chromium will reduce blood sugar, which in turn reduces blood calcium and excessive clotting, which in turn reduce the cysts. In which case if a cyst is formed, controlling blood sugar is the primary method. But long term cysts tend to cause pain and a calcium antagonists magnesium, the preferred form is magnesium citrate, magnesium chloride for example, 250- 500 mg a day is used which will reduce the pain. A more serious condition may require disodium EDTA supplements, but the dose I used is far lower then those used commercially in oral chelation therapies., which is only between 10-50 mg., with preferably 10-25 mg. This won't lower the calcium a lot, but sufficient to prevent excessive calcium buildup and it is not taken everyday either. It's taken only once every two or three days. However for most condition, I believe a simple baking soda and lemon is much more easier to use, as citrates also chelate calcium too, but on a limited scale withouth some undo problems of the stronger EDTA, which I view as somewhat agressive. Of course, an EDTA once a week is more ideal as it prevents heavy metal accumulation, which some metals are free radical and tend to be cancer causing, would be more suitable approach. The lemon/lime juice is 2 tablespoon of lime juice plus baking soda 1/2 teaspoon taken twice a day should help normalized most of the blood calcium issue, while chromium supplements such as 500-1000 mcg, will reduce the calcium solubility. The effects of alkalization will prevent the leeching effects of the bones so the bones stay in place. Magnesium would in the end fortify the bone to be more resilient. Calcium alone wouldn't do it. It's like a chalk. But magnesium added would add resilence to the bone and also reduce the leeching effects thus reducing the high blood calcium that causes cyst. In my observation most of the cysts comes from high sugar consumption, metabolic acidosis (from chlorine and fluorine exposure), use of artificial sweetners (aspartame ultimately breaks down formaldehyde which destroys the body's equilibrium in maintaining stable pH), and also exposure to hydrocarbons. Those are the primary causes of cysts. However, they can also form from excessive use of antibiotics, which tends to increase heavy metals, metabolic acidosis, which ultimately forms a cysts, or in other areas such as the lungs, which tends to form calcification and that shows up in x-rays.
