[YEA] 09/02/2007: Abs from Santa Maria, California writes: "I have been reading about how people are using Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) and Black Strap Molasses (BSM) to shrink fibroid tumors. I used low fat vegan and raw diet and I am fibroids free. Nutrition does wonders for the body and helps its ability to heal. I started out with a vegetarian and organic lifestyle after getting fed up with allopathic medicine's appproach to the fibroids I had. I progressed to a vegan and organic nutrition and I transitioned to a raw, vegan nutrition and the fibroids are all gone. I also used herbs and spices such as Vitex (chasteberry), red raspberry leaves, astragalus, garlic, ginger, turmeric, dandelion leaves and roots, milk thistle, cramp bark, fenugreek, red clover, and squaw vine in my regimen.
Within the first week of eating a wholly plant-based diet, all my symptoms were gone. I gained a surge in energy and three months later, overcame chronic anemia that had persisted for three years. The tumors started to shrink and my hormones started to balance; I was no longer irritable. I have since been cured of mood swings, PMS, breast tenderness and fibroids. I also had a tumor on my liver that disappeared as well and I lost 38 pounds without any extra effort. I now have energy for brisk walks, bike rides, weights, yoga and pilates. I am now a firm believer in nutrition and herbs as remedies for all kinds of ailments. There are a lot of research about the effectiveness of nutrition and herbs in curing all kinds of ailments. I shocked the doctors who wanted to surgically remove the fibroids and who told me there was no cure. I am tumor free and I thank all the people who share their experiences on the web and I also thank medical doctors who are using nutrition to help their patients. It is true that we are what we eat."
09/12/2008: Mary fm Tampa from Tampa, Florida replies: "Can you share with me to my email at maitaz@yahoo.com on how large your fibroids were. I keep hearing that the BIGGER fibroids can't be healed naturally and it should just get cut out. I have been hiding and giving my doctor all kinds of excuses for the past year now and we finally set a surgery date 10/20. So please give me so hope and tell me if you know what was the largest size of your fibroid and honest to goodness did it go away?
I want to compare to my fibroid and hear anyone having a big fibroid but I need a size to really know that it is possible for me. Write me soon, please. I am so Scared and just don't want to get cut up. Anyone reading this can email me if they have proof it can be done for fibroid over 10cm big. Peace."

12/27/2009: Christina from Albuquerque, Nm writes: "Fibroids: Tampons & Pads
Regarding Tampons and Pads: Ladies all tampons and pads are bleached with CHLORINE unless you are buying organic/non-bleached natural cotton items.
Chlorine is very toxic it creates a by-product Dioxin which is harmful and linked to cancer and tumors (google it). You can buy cotton items at any natural health food store or online (they are expensive but worth it). I would recommend buying these especially for women with Fibroids."

09/24/2009: Aries36 from Knoxville, Tn writes: "Hi ladies, i'm thankful for you all and hearing your stories let me feel connected to a sista hood of women whom i've never met who is experiencing the same as i am so now i don't feel so all alone with this dreadful medical problem!I just want my life back and this is taking my body over daily. It makes me not even want to have a sexual relationship with my husband cause i feel like a good-year blimp! I take the avc with the (Mother) in it and the bsm and i do get relief from both. The avc does help control your weight but my question to you ladies is:
How long must we stay on these short term remedy? 4EVER... EVERYDAY TAKING THESE SHORT TERM REMEDIES THE WILL NEVER GIVE US A COMPLETE SOLUTION?? I hate the fact that when we give birth 2 bring beautiful kids into the world after that our bodies go through SOOOOOOOO... MUCH AND MEN HAVE NO ISSUES AT ALL!!
I'm just 36 and i feel like my life is OVER dealing with this crap. Doctor's always want to cut on us so we can go into menopause early and have to go to them for more medical issues and bills.. this is how they make their money. Anyway, to the point @ hand. I did find out that having the partial hysterectomy will allow them not to return because by having it done they want grow back because the uterus wall allows them to reattach to something, by removing it..there's nothing 4 them to grow on because there's nothing there. I still don't know what to do even with that info because i'm scared of early menopause. Someone please give me your input."
EC: You don't mention your ailment, but we think you are referring to fibroids...
09/24/2009: Kathy from Dubois, Pa replies: "I had fibroids, too, if that is what your problem is. If they are not causing you too much of a problem...in other words, if they are more of a nuisance than an actual health problem...the best solution is to just wait them out, because they shrink and go away on their own after menopause. At 36, you are not too young to be having peri-menopausal signs and symptoms. To cut down on the bleeding, try taking bioflavanoids and Vitamin K-2. And if they are not life-threatening, DO NOT let the doctor cut on you. Peri-menopause is a time when women start to get anovulatory cycles and become estrogen dominant, so do not take any supplements or eat anything that contains phytoestrogens because it will only make the problem worse by adding to your over-all estrogen burden. You also might want to check your thyroid status, because low thyroid can cause heavy bleeding, too."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 06/06/2009: Autumn from CA, USA writes: "Since we are going there...I just as well post what was TREMENDOUS in helping my fibroid symptoms, as well as keeping it from growing. I have a fibroid that is the size of a 4 month pregancy.It use to be the size of a 6 month pregnancy. I used REIKI. Reiki is a form of vibrational energy healing (research it on the net).
Reiki stopped the symptoms of, excessive bleeding, clots, nausea and pain. It stopped my fibroid from growing. Reiki did not remove the fibroid, but stopped the growth and all the symptoms. The fibroid shrank a little. The fibroid went from a 6 month pregnancy to a 4 month pregnancy.
When I told my doctor that I was going to get rid of the tumors using "natural medicine" and the New Age, he respected my decision, and just asked if he could monitor the situation. Of course I agreed to this monitoring. My doctor is impressed with the lack of symptoms, especially since the fibroid was so large in the beginning, and he admitted he is impressed by the lack of symptoms.It has been 4 years, and I have not been able to find anything yet that will finish the job of shrinking it completely. But I will definitely try the remedies recommended on this website."
06/07/2009: Jennifer from Mount Vernon, WA replies: "Hi- could you tell us how long it took to shrink it?and how often you did REIKI? Thanks"

[YEA] 02/22/2009: Karol from Portland, OR writes: "for fibroids -stop all microwaved meals or foods. This works and works fast. I did this about 10 years ago and did not have to have surgery. Recently, last year, I got rid of the microwave altogether. I have not missed it at all. Heating up foods does not take that long. Please stop with the micro wave. Thanks"

1 BETTER BUT NOT CURED
[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 05/21/2009: Louise from Blue Bell, Pa. U.S.A. writes: "I was diagnosed with too many fibroids outside my uterous to count and measure them all individually. They ranged from 4 to 15 cm. The resulting complications were infertility, very heavy bleeding with clotting, and as the fibroids grew - a huge bloating with general abdominal discomfort. I had had enough of doctor`s being too quick to prescribe the pill or progesterone. This may have helped the bleeding for a while, but it made the fibroids worse because fibroids and polyps are fueld by estrogen. So I did a ton of research and found food based nutrients that shrink fibroids and actually dissolve the tissue that these squatters are made of. My formula which I`ve been using for almost a year now is rutin (and anti-inflammatory and one of the bioflavanoids), lycopene (a powerful anti oxidant and clot reducer), 3 different enzymes that have to be taken an hour after food, nattokinase (what an anti clot enzyme this stuff is!), and serrapeptase. I put all my research into an interactive forum like this one which explains why and how this all works. Many women have contacted the site with their own stories. This physical imbalance seems to be epidemic. On my site http://www.fibroidfighters.com there is a post "Say goodbye to uterine fibroids" that lays it all out for women tolerating this condition. My best wishes and success to anyone trying to take the proactive approach to restoring hormonal balance and harmony."

[YEA] 07/26/2008: Tanya from Olympia, WA writes: "I have wrote several times and have was diagnosed with anemia and fibroids last September. I have tried everything from black strap molasses, to Apple cider vinegar and those remedies have helped. I got an ultrasound in June and my fibroid is still there, it hasn't gotten any bigger though! My anemia is gone, it has been for about 6 months! My Naturopath was amazed that I have kept my iron up for so long. Ok, so this is what I have been doing everyday now for the last 3 months and it has made a huge dfference: I drink Odowalla Superfood green juice every morning. I had read spirulina is good for fibroids and was taking supplements, I believe that works also if you don't like Odawalla. I take Garden of Life Perfect Food Super Green Vitamins, Irwin naturals living green liquid gel womens multivitamin, a B-100, Evening Primrose, and DIM. I read that DIM helps balance Estrogen and since I have been taken it I have noticed a big difference in my cycles being lighter. I was taking vitex (chasteberry). I take iron picolate if my cycles are heavy but they haven't been.
This routine has been so wonderful, my cycles have been light 3 days, and they have been 21-28 says apart. They were 15-17 days and horrible. My anemia was so bad my iron was 29, now it is 42! I got all the supplements at super supplements. The iron picolate I got from my naturopath.
So if you have anemia and fibroids give this a try, also cream of wheat blackstrap molasses and raisins helped when my iron was really low.
I also have gotten off the pill (everything I read says estogen makes fibroids grow) and watch my caffeine and alchohol intake. Good luck ladies! Your body can heal itself, my Dr. suggested a hysterectomy last year, I'm only 40 years old! Thank goodness I didn't listen. I feel great!"

1 BETTER BUT NOT CURED
[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 11/20/2009: Rapha7 from Mytown, Usa writes: "Fibroid Tumor Remedy - Tumeric
I found out about 4 or 5 years ago that I have fibroids when having an ultrasound for something else, and over the course of that time my periods have gotten heavier, started having clots and experiencing cramps which I rarely ever got. During the heavy times I would go through a Ultra Plus tampon in 1 hour.
I don't remember if it was on EC or another site, but I read that the heavy bleeding was caused by inflammation (either the Uterus being inflammed or the fibroids)during periods and it mentioned taking Tumeric.
Someone on EC recommended Natto, and I tried that for a while, but didn't notice reduced bleeding. Then I added a sprinkling of Turmeric on the Natto. The bleeding was reduced some, but I thought it was the Natto. I ran out of Tumeric & continued with the Natto and since I didn't seem to be getting great results, and the Natto is 'Natso good' I stopped.
It wasn't until I read the article about inflammation & Tumeric, that I put 2 and 2 together & realized that what had reduced the bleeding when I was eating the Natto with Tumeric sprinkled on it was actually the Tumeric doing it's thing. To be sure, over the last couple of months I've been taking 1 large teaspoon of Tumeric in juice, at least twice a day when my period starts, & it's nothing short of a miracle. Now I can actually get 3 - 4 hours of solid sleep without having to worry about an accident. Before on heavy nights, I would sit up, so I wouldn't fall all the way to sleep, so I could get up every hour or hour and a half to change. During that time if I could get a solid 2 hours of sleep I was estatic.
Other remedies I tried was the Unsulphered Black Strap Molasses. It reduced the clots by around 90% and the iron definitely gave me an extra boost, as the heavy bleeding caused me to be anemic, but it did not reduce the bleeding.
I hope some of you ladies try this and get the results I have. Although it's not a cure, it helps make the fibroid situation bearable. Lastly, the Tumeric is bitter, but well worth the results."

[YEA] 10/03/2008: Carmen from New York, NY writes: "I am finding that Water and Air are dissolving my fibroids. Yes, it sounds absolutely ridiculous, but it's true. Twice a day for the last two weeks, I've been standing up against the wall of my studio apartment breathing deeply, doing an exercise from the Book of Internal Exercises by Stephen T. Chang. (I inhale sharply and exhale while maintaining a stiff abdomen.) After the first day of doing this, I noticed my fibroid protrusion was lessened. Also, I've been drinking 5 glasses of lukewarm water a day, sprinkled with a bit of tumeric. The water seems to be literally washing the fibroids away as I notice what looks like to be be pieces of the dissolving fibroid membrane in my stool.
Could it be that water and air naturally contain the enzymes needed to dissolve fibroid membranes if concentrated? I'm becoming a believer."
02/27/2009: Hope from London, UK replies: "Hi, Are your fibroids gone following the treatment.How long did u do it for? I am looking for natural remedies. I know deep down we can do it. Thanks"
03/01/2009: Vina from Marietta, Ga replies: "I would like to know how large your Fibroid were and are they completely gone. Did you have to change your eating habits, or were you a healthy eater. What all did you do? I am very interested in getting rid of these fibroids. Thanks for the information"
12/12/2009: Apple from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia replies: "My uterine fibroid is now 13cm. No diet change, organic food, detox, enzymes pills, TCM per se helped. Last week, I started myself with qi gong and reflexology to tackle stagnation of chi in uterus. I'll allow myself 3 months to gauge results. Hope when I next write in, I'd report good results... BTW, I love this great site for sharing so generously! I am also drinking ACV regularly, and BSM helped with my monthly pain. Thank you so much!"
