Ovarian Cyst Remedies

"An ovarian cyst is any collection of fluid, surrounded by a very thin wall, within an ovary. Any ovarian follicle that is larger than about two centimeters is termed an ovarian cyst. An ovarian cyst can be as small as a pea, or larger than a cantaloupe.
Most ovarian cysts are functional in nature, and harmless (benign). In the US, ovarian cysts are found in nearly all premenopausal women, and in up to 14.8% of postmenopausal women. The incidence of ovarian carcinoma is approximately 15 cases per 100,000 women per year.
Ovarian cysts affect women of all ages. They occur most often, however, during a woman's childbearing years.
Some ovarian cysts cause problems, such as bleeding and pain. Surgery may be required to remove those cysts." (Wikipedia)

1 BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] 03/01/2010: Yana from London, Uk writes: "Started taking a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in a pint of water (large tumbler) in the hope it would help with both an ovarian cyst and a fibroid. I like to take it a sip at a time and the drink usually lasts me all evening.
Ovarian cyst "disappeared" within three weeks of taking (not sure if it would have gone on it's own but my consultant was pretty surprised to see it had disappeared at my follow-up appointment). Also my bloated stomach has become much flatter and less flabby!
Have continued taking ACV in the hope it will also lessen the size of the fibroid I have, although since taking it I am experiencing cramps in the area that my fibroid is in. I am persevering with it for now in the hope that the slight cramping feeling is due to the area being "detoxed". Am also experiencing a slight "heavy" feeling in my legs - but nothing too uncomfortable.
Out of curiosity has anyone else experienced cramping in this area (legs, womb) as a result of taking?"
03/02/2010: Kathy from Las Vegas, Usa replies: "I was wondering just what does a fibroid feel like? I regularly take apple cider vinegar and I had cysts but never had any issues with them, pain wise. However I do sometimes have cramping near my pelvic area and I have to be careful not to lift anything heavy or push anything with my legs or the cramps come back. And it it very uncomfortable! I also notice if I stand too long or bend over too much I have pain at night. The thing that seems to help is staying away from sugar. But I really don't know for sure what is wrong...does it sound like fibroids? Help anybody!"
03/13/2010: Annie from L.a., Ca replies: "When I had a fibroid, these were the things that I felt: My period was heavier than usual. I would get bloated really easily after eating, especially after eating dairy. I sometimes would feel a "pulling" sensation kind of off center in my stomach area. On one occasion during sexual relations with my hubby, I felt this uncomfortable sharpish pain in my vagina.
Changing my diet did seem to alleviate some of the symptoms (like the bloating).
But everyone's symptoms can be different. I have read that a fibroid can cause back pain. It really depends on the size and location of the fibroid.
I hope my answer helped somewhat :-)"

[YEA] 10/27/2009: Holly from Bethel, Mn writes: "vaginal bleeding GONE!
I have had vaginal bleeding for almost a year. It started out after intercourse and then after a BM. The past few months I had more bleeding days than non bleeding days each month. My pap was normal and my thyriod testes were fine. The doctor wasn't sure if she saw a cyst during the vaginal exam, but wanted to wait for the pap results. After much researching and thinking, I tried a strong vinegar douche. Half vinegar half water, three times the first week and once a week for a few weeks after that. I have not had any vaginal bleeding since!!! Something I read online mentioned drinking vinegar to balance your system, vinegar is used on the cervix during colonoscopies, vinegar is in over the counter douches (although not stong enough), vinegar is an anti-fungal and a disinfectant. I don't see how it could hurt and it completely took care of my problem! Hope it works for anyone who may have this problem too!"

BEETS, CARROTS, NON-ALCOHOLIC WINE, MOLASSES
1 SIDE EFFECT
[YEA] 09/15/2009: Angie from St. Croix, Virgin Islands writes: "I was told about 4yrs ago that I had a cyst and fibroid. I took everything possible to get rid of them and nothing seemed to work including herbal pills and cleanses. Finally my aunt prepared a mixture of 5lbs of beets, 2lbs of carrots, half a bottle of non alcoholic red wine and 2 jars of molasses. I drank this mixture twice. The first one I took one shot glass three times a day before I ate for 15 days. The second batch I took two shot glasses a day one before breakfast and one before dinner. Your cycle should be heavy for the first couple of days. Alcoholic beverages are a definite no while taking this. I went for my ultra sound today and there were no cysts nor fibroids the technicians nor doctor could believe that they were all gone. I was also told that females should drink this remedy at least once a year to prevent any irregularities."
10/01/2009: Josie123 from Colorado Springs, Colorado replies: "could you more specifics on the mixture? My 16 year old had a cyst that popped. She is constantly in pain, and they want to remove one of her ovaries. Please help! Thank you!"
10/08/2009: Sara from The Beach, Canada replies: "can i ask why Alcoholic beverages are a definite no while taking this? I dont want to sound stupid, but I am going to a coctail party this weekend and was wondering how harmful a glass of wine would be. I have been taking your beet, mollasses carrots and green apples in a juice blend. i did not have non alcoholic red wine in the house so i subbed green apples in my juicer. the one thing i have noticed so far is how gassy i have become while drinking this in a shot glass before every meal. Is this typical? thanks sara"
10/08/2009: Robin from Powdersprings, Ga replies: "Hello Thanks for the information. I would like to know were these fresh beets and carrots and if they were did you juice the leaves(tops) and all. Did you change any eating habits at all. How large were the fibroids? I can't wait for your response, because I'm ready to give it a try. Thanks Again Robin"
[SIDE EFFECTS] 02/11/2010: Leekat from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe replies: "I visited my Gyn and was told I had 3 cysts, I have been drinking the 1kg beets,1kg carrots and 500ml (1 jar)mollasses mixture for 2 weeks now, but I have discovered that I have a dull pain in the low part of my abdomen and I feel like my uterus has dilated. Is it normal or I have had an overdose of the mixture?I would also like to know if I can also use aloe powder and the measurements involved. I desperately need to do away with the cysts its now affecting my marriage life since I dont have any children. Thanks in advance."
02/13/2010: Polly from Harlingen, Tx replies: "Hi there, quick question, I just prepared the carrot, beets, non-alcoholic wine, & molassses drink, and boy is it strong (has a punch when you drink it). Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks:) Polly"

CARROT, BEET, PARSLEY, SPINACH, APPLE JUICE
[YEA] 12/20/2009: Jesusislovetome from Fayetteville, Nc writes: "Ovarian cysts
I discovered quite by mistake, that juicing carrots, beets, parsely, spinach and green apples is not only delicious but it also caused my cysts become much smaller. I made up this mix simply for the health benefits and one of the immediate effects was that my monthly cycles became very lite and not painful as they had been in the past. It took some research to find out that it was the beets that I included in the mix. I drink a glass full every day. I make this in large quantities 5 pounds carrots,4 green apples, a few sprigs of parsley, a hand full of spinach and 2 whole beets. I hope this is helpful to someone, God bless."

[YEA] 10/16/2009: Claudia from Menifee, Ca writes: "Relief to Ovarian Cyst and PMS Symptoms.
For many years I have suffer from extremely painful periods and all of the usual symptoms, bloating, water retention, upset stomach, etc. etc. About a month ago I had an ultrasound and it was confirmed I had ovarian cyst on both ovaries, the one on the left one was big, I don't know the exact size. Anyway I came home with a Dr's prescription for a medication that was supposed to help ease the symptoms and shrink the cysts, but after reading the side effects (cases of high levels of acidosis on some women) I decided not to take the medicine. On the last 5 to 6 weeks I've drastically change my diet to a High vegetable intake all trhoughout the day, veggie juice in the morning, veggies in my eggs, high fiber cereal, home made gazpacho at least a couple of days a week, fish, chicken and lots of veggies for dinner, I switched from regular milk to almond milk, low fat yogurt (in moderation) nuts such as almonds and sunflower seeds for snacking. No red meat, no fast food, pizza, fried chicken,sugar,bad carbohidrate, soda and specially coffe. Lots of water with some lemon juice and a hint of baking soda. I also did the beet/molasses drink twice a day for two weeks. Today I'm on my second day of my period, and haven had to take a single pain killer, no bloatting, or upset stomach, just mild cramps like it should always be, I'm taking herbal teas for comfort and easing symptoms. I'm so thrilled about it, (I don't look pregnant anymmore), I've lost over 5 lbs. and feel very calm and light. I will continue following this natural approach, and continue educating myself, I'm not sure if the cysts will ever go away, but the symptoms are definately not the same anymore. I'm going to get another ultrasound in a few months and then I'll be able to see if there has been a change on size and amount of the cyst, maybe they'll be gone! Good luck to everyone, and thank you to all the people that have provided valuable information to this subject. "

[YEA] 01/18/2008: Shine from Bethelhem, PA writes: "Hormone balance almost seems like a life long quest for most women, but I think I found a great cure. It also made my re-occuring ovarian cysts disappear. Kundalini Yoga all the way! It changed my life. Don't be discouraged by fear, most instructors give options for flexibility and experience. You can also take breaks. It will realign your chakras, in-turn balancing your hormones. Once a week will even make a big difference. I also find Siberian Ginseng to be very helpful."

[YEA] 02/04/2010: Mar from New York, Ny writes: "MOLASSES, ALOE VERA AND BEETS - Yes it does work!!!!!
I had a 5cm cyst on my left ovary. My doctor gave me a 2mth window time to see if it would go away by itself. So every day for one month, I drank the juice of 2pounds of raw beets, one leave of aloe vera (the inside) and one bottle of molasses. I drank this mixture every day 3 times a day again for one whole month. When I went to get a check up on the cyst it was GONE.
My doctor performed an indovaginal sonogram and a a c125 blood test, and they both showed that the cyst was gone. Good luck and try it. Everytime you drink this remedy think positively, truly imagine the cyst drying out. Have faith that it will disappear."
02/14/2010: Floatinglotus from Chicago, Il replies: "I'm glad to hear that combination works! I want to try it as I just learned yesterday that I have an 8 cm cyst on my right ovary. Just for clarification, were you drinking a whole bottle of molasses each day or was the total combination of 2 lbs beets, 1 aloe leaf and 1 bottle of molasses divided over the 30 days?"
EC: No! Here's a better description of the remedy
10/17/2009: Adriana from Pembroke P, Fl replies: "Thank You Brittany.!!
For all of you who keep asking about quantities... Brittany gave the quantities in here post of 4/17/2009. Here they are in case you missed them:
"With all three ingredients you put all equal amounts in a small bowl. [1]I first mash the beets (1 or 2 slices of the canned beets) with a fork. [2]Then pour about a tablespoon full of aloe vera juice on top of that.[3]Then I take about a tablespoon full of molasses and cover that, mix it, then eat it. You don't have to have a blender to mix it."
If using raw or slightly steamed beets, just grate them on a cheese grate. Use gloves."

01/15/2010: Dj from Pdx, Or replies: "Mandy,
Try castor oil packs. everyday for 1 hour
http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/castor_oil.html"
01/22/2010: Mandy from Nj, Usa replies: "Hey Dj, thanks for your response.i am curious about how castor oil pack will work? does it actual dissolve the cyst? from where i can get castor oil pack? thanks in advance."
01/23/2010: Dj from Pdx, Or replies: "Hi Mandy,
Here is a link to the Edgar Cayse Institute website castor oil pack page. As far as I know Edgar Cayse is the first person to widely recommend and study its use. You may find answers to your "how it works" question here.
http://www.edgarcayce.org/health/database/health_resources/castor_Oil_Packs.aspAs to where to get the castor oil packs you could probably purchase some online, but I would suggest making your own, it will be less expensive. You need to either cut up an old flannel shirt or stop by a fabric store and purchase 1/4 yard of white flannel. Go to the store (most health food stores and some grocery stores carry Castor oil) and purchase a big ole jug of castor oil.
I did my packs on the bathroom floor, that way if the oil ran down my sides it was easily cleaned up. The bathroom is also a quiet place where, with nothing better to do, I could meditate for 1 hour.
Some instructions say you can microwave the pack to warm it up but my instincts tell me that is not the best idea. Warm it on a cookie sheet or leave it set out for an hour prior to use.
Here is the link to the EC castor oil page.
http://www.earthclinic.com/Remedies/castor_oil.html
Either site will give you instruction on how to make a pack.
From my personal experience I can tell you that I had a lot of pain and other issues with my bladder (or in that region) to the point that I saw a specialist who could not see any problem. With no "problem" you know there is no diagnosis. So like so many other people in the world I had to find my own cure. I read about the oil pack and within a month my bladder issues were gone.
This is what I really like about EC. I can be urged by my instincts to tell you what worked for me even though it is a different problem, and you can follow your instincts as to whether or not try the suggestion or take another route.
P.S. If you are having pain I have been having great success with a Red Raspberry tincture that I get from my health food store. It is really good for menstrual cramps (and other pain I found out) I use 8 drops or so in a glass of water. The pain subsides for a few hours. I just repeat when needed. If you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant I would not recommend the Red Raspberry.
I hope you find the relief and the cure you are looking for."

[YEA] 04/17/2009: Brittany from Phoenix, Arizona writes: "The beets, aloe vera, and molasses really worked for me. I have suffered in pain for years with ovarian cysts. My life and marriage were not good before. Now since I have been doing the beets, aloe vera, and molasses in the morning before I eat anything else, life is so much better. With all three ingredients you put all equal amounts in a small bowl. I first mash the beets (1 or 2 slices of the canned beets) with a fork. Then pour about a tablespoon full of aloe vera juice on top of that. Then I take about a tablespoon full of molasses and cover that, mix it, then eat it. You don't have to have a blender to mix it.

02/04/2009: Tess from Palm Beach, FL replies: "It's been a year and a half since she posted this ovarian cyst concoction, so it doesn't appear that Julissa is going to write us all back any time soon!
I am guessing that this recipe is: a standard dose of molasses, i.e., 1 to 2 tablespoons (but be careful if you are diabetic, watch the sugar content), 1/3 cup of beets, and 1/3 cup of aloe vera juice. Beets can make people very nauseous if eaten on an empty stomach, so start out with less if the beets are fresh. Canned beets might not cause nausea.

I am trying this remedy and a majority of my friends with cysts did as well and all have living proof within 2 months by sonograms and all of them could'nt conceive since this is a major barrier but they have their babies without any complications. I prepared 2lbs of raw beets well peeled and chopped, the aloe vera will be one entire part washed and peeled what you take is the inside part, (also you can try it with carrots instead of aloe vera is good as well) 1 full bottle 12oz of molasses ( I use imported dominican one that can be found in a botany but when I don't find any I use grandma's brand original molasses). Blend all ingredients and drain mixture through a strainer, place it in a closed gallon or bottle and refrigerate.

After 2 months I will post my results as well, Good luck to all of us."

Martha in Powder Spring GA"
04/14/2009: KT from Irvine, Ca, USA replies: "Hello ladies, I'd say, don't feel lost. We have a big clue about the Ingredients, we can always experiment with dosage using common sense, I'd say, half a cup of beet juice mixed with 1 tblsp. of Molasses and a tsp. or 2 of aloe vera edible jel or half a cup of aloe vera juice, mix and drink. Good health food stores also sell Beet capsules or find them online. Beet juice is also available. I am taking both with Molasses. Oh, and not everyone is suited to Aloe Vera, you can be allergic, apply it on your body part to see if you develop a rash, test for a week. If not, AV is safe for you. Since I am allergic to it, I am skipping it. Whatsmore, I found an article on this Dominican remedy which only mentions Beet & Molasses, not Aloe Vera. So there's hope. I think the Main ingredient here is Beet. Check this article out -
http://fugh-berman.com/files/Beetsjethnophar.pdf
And do post any positive results after trying this nutritious remedy. God bless Julissa for posting it."
07/12/2009: Mary from Golden, CO replies: "I suffered from cysts during my late 20's up to the time I had a partial hystarectomi! I did have two children, but had a hard time getting pregnant. Now that I'm in my mid 50's I am experiencing ovarian pain again, I still have the right ovari. I am going to try the beets/aloe vera/mollases to see if this helps. I never have and will NOT take any drugs - ever! I'll keep you posted. I like the 'shot glassful' recepie of 2-3 slices of beets, 1 Tbsp Aloe Vera, and 1 Tbsp of molasses."
[YEA] 11/16/2009: Cured from Ft. Walton Beach, Fl replies: "I have to say that I believe it is the molasses doing the trick here. I started taking Apple Cider Vinegar daily. A few weeks later I started the Blackstrap Molasses. I had suspected a cyst for the last year. If you have ever had one, you know what they feel like espcially if you have had them removed via surgery. Anyways, I was taking both ACV and BSM. About a week after starting the BSM I had a constant stomach pain that lasted two days. I knew that this was the cyst busting. I am glad the ACV was helping with pain as I am sure it would have been excruciating to experience another cyst bust. I hope you find something that works for you as surgery is not a fun option."
01/19/2010: Jenn from Union, Nj replies: "Hi Cured.I have 3.5 cm cyst on left ovary. doctor diagnosed it with endometrioma cyst. Surgery is not urgent as per my doctor. i am planning for baby. do you think ACV and BSM will work with endometroma cyst? or Beet, aloe vera juice and molasses is good option? Anyone can you please advise? Thanks..."
03/11/2010: Tianna from Bronx, Ny replies: "I was diagnosed with 2 3cm cysts on my left ovary last weekend and my doctor said that if in 6 months I still cant conceive, ill need to undergo another surgery (which i had 3 years ago when they found 5cm and 7cm cysts on each ovary!). I definitely dont want to undergo surgery again so I am trying other natural remedies to get rid of them.
I started drinking apple cider vinegar in the mornings mixed into a glass full of water. We've also switched to alkaline water as well. And just to be sure, I made some beet, molasses and aloe vera juice yesterday.
I bought 6 beets (about 2.5lbs worth of beets), a whole aloe vera leaf and a box of powdered molasses (there were liquid ones too but i saw the sugar-like one first). I peeled the beets and put them in our juicer. Mixed in the inside of the aloe vera leaf (which looks like a clear gel) and then chucked in half the box of the molasses. I drink 1/2 cup in the morning and another 1/2 cup at night! And the rest goes in the fridge.
Hope this works... ill post my results when i go for another scan!"
03/11/2010: Patti from Ewing, Nj Usa replies: "I did a lot of reading (because it fascinated me) about Serrapeptase. I'm not sure if I'm spelling that correctly but I was researching some other "female" problems and ovarian cysts came up. There seemed to be a lot of women who were taking this enzyme (I believe it's an enzyme) and they were able to get rid of the cysts. It took some time, it didn't happen over night, but they were all pleased about avoiding surgery. You may want to do an internet search to see what you find on it. And good luck.Patti"

[YEA] 10/21/2009: Chandra from Seattle, Wash writes: "I started taking potassium iodide (sski pills - 1 a day) last yearwhen I was having intermittant ovarian cyst pain after reading about it on Dr Wright's site. The pain went away after a few weeks taking the supplement. After I ran out of the supplement 2 months ago, I didn't buy more, thinking I didn't need it. Well in the past 2 weeks I am having the same shooting pain in my right ovary area that is getting more pronounced as I near my period. I have just reordered it online (most vitamin stores carry different brands of it) and will post an update if it works. But from past experience, I would say a definite YES to sski for ovarian cyst pain."
12/06/2009: Chandra from Seattle, Washington replies: "Update to my October 21 feedback about SSKI for ovarian cyst pain. 3 weeks on SSKI (3 tablets a day) and my ovarian cyst was gone by the end of my last period. No pain, no tenderness. Yea yea!! I plan to take it every day with a 1-2 day break here and there. I may switch to 1 drop of lugol's iodine later on and see if that has the same preventative effect."
12/06/2009: Migurl09 from Donaldsonville, La replies: "What is the product you used (SSKI) because I am hoping to find something to cure my ovarian cyst and i am willing to try this?"
12/08/2009: Chandra from Seattle, Wash replies: "Hi Migurl09,I can't name the brand per this site's policy, but I can tell you I bought mine at iherb (online store). Bottle says Potassium Iodide, 32.5 mg, 120 Tablets. I have bought other supplements from this same company at Whole Foods and think there are pretty good. Oh, I see another liquid potassium iodide on iherb from another company. Well I think that as long as you buy sski from a reputable vitamin company it will work fine.
Let me know if it cures your ovarian cyst!"

[YEA] 03/31/2007: Geeta from London, UK writes: "I have been told by my doctor that I have a 6cm chocolate cyst on my right ovary. I also have 2 very small fibroids in my uterus. I am looking for some natural remedy in order to avoid surgery. please help...Thank you in advance."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Geeta: Ovarian cysts are formed at least from the argument of doctors from the body's lack of hormonal balance between estrogen and progesterone. Where the progesterone levels drop precipitously from the estrogen, where ovarian cysts tend to occur during the menopausal period, often called perimenopause. It would therefore be obvious that the doctor would likely recommend progesterone. Of course, taking more hormones I think would be risky.Of course, there is another alternative from something as simple as cows lifespan and sheep's breeding age in extending or moving the menopausal period to a later date, thus delaying or minimizing the effects of the ovarian cysts. Take for instance the effect of water rich with bicarbonates, such as magnesium bicarbonate:
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/04/08/1017206303625.html
"When we looked at the stock records of the farms it proved everything Jim Watts said," Beckett says. "It was well-known among local farmers. Some of the animals were living twice as long as normal. Most lived at least 30 per cent longer. Cattle on some farms would live to 18 to 21 and were still producing twin calves at 17 to 18. Yet on nearby farms the cattle were too old and no longer breeding at 12 to 13, which is normal. It was the same with sheep. Eight years was normal for sheep, and on some properties they were living from 12 to 15, and still lambing."
It would therefore be reasonable that by allowing the body's pH to remain in an alkaline state, from whatever the diets we are taking which tends to be acidic, where trying to achieve a urinary pH of 7.0, which is actually neutral would be one way of reducing ovarian cysts. Cysts in general contains semisolids and liquids and are encased. They are formed if the fats get excessive, calcium gets too much, for example and it blocks the capillary flow causing such cysts. Whenever the body is in an acidic state, much like acid rain eating up Greek statues, the acidity causes the bones to leech out calcium, causing high blood serum calcium levels, which is frequently found in people with acidosis.
Assuming if the body is in alkaline state, which in my definition to be at least 7.0 neutrality, or urine pH of 7.0, this is a more alkaline state taking some baking soda, some potassium and magnsium supplements necessary to balance the body's electrolytes. When this occurs, serum blood calcium is reduce, thus further formation of ovarian cysts is reduce.
In my own experience I found reduction of tissue and serum calcium to work best when citric acid 1/4 teaspoon and baking soda 1/4 teaspoon taken twice a day often removes the body's calcification best. Magnesium helps displace the excess blood calcium and increases the body's utilization of calcium. Often it takes two molecules of magnesium for every one molecule of calcium. Unfortunately most of our diets magnesium : calcium ratio is at a point where calcium is excess of magnesium, further making worse the serum calcium levels.
The other possibility is the eating food high level of vegetable oils, may cause the body to have high oils also blocks normal hormone functions, and eating foods rich in trans fatty acid can turn the body upside down. Margarine, fried chicken, french fries, potato chips, for me are a real problem, both its effects on high blood pressure, as well as reducing the body's effectiveness of natural hormones blocked by the oils.
I remember in every instance of people who live to the age of 100, at least in Thailand anyway, are vegetarians, minimal processing of foods, and sometimes, but not often eat meat, but those meat are quite often fish, rather than pork, chicken, or beef.
Their foods, are often low in oils, especially vegetable oils. People think fats are bad for you, I think it is more like cooked vegetable oils which is the real problem.
In fact I had a chance to talk with people who live in rural areas of Thailand, also known for living long lives, coming to visit the big city of Bangkok. They told me they never seen vegetable oils before and never used them in cooking! Vegetable oils in fact are only used in the city of Bangkok, well known for short lives, and other Western style diseases (heart disease, cancer, and diabetes).
Therefore to reduce ovarian cysts I think reduce vegetable oils used in deep frying, or in cooking. Take them sparingly only to use them as a supplements, such as evening primrose oil, once or twice a week, some flaxseed oil, and some fat emulsifiers, such as cottage cheese, or even better, granulated powdered lecithin.
Alkalizing can be done many ways, but I think for an ovarian cysts, the one that I know to work well in reducing serum calcium is taking 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda with 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid twice a day on an empty stomach. Taking some magnesium citrates, or magnesium chloride, 250 mg. twice a week, I think should be sufficient. It depends on people and severity of condition and sometimes, if it is need more maybe it can be taken for 5 days out of week also. Other variations to alkalizing I think is 8 teaspoon of lime, or possibly lemon, with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day. Or apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda taken twice a day should also be helpful. The apple cider vinegar and the lime/lemon formula should balance most of the sodium: potassium ratio within a reasonable range. But magnesium supplements is still needed to get all those electrolytes balance. The funny thing about the commercial electrolytes is that a good one should have a good balance sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus. But they only have 4 out of a possible 5, perhaps, to reduce cost. But whatever the reason, it is you who have to fix these problems yourself. Since the diets are high in calcium and phosphorus, at least looking at sodium, potassium and magnesium as a major electrolytes, and also bicarbonates, citrates, acetates to keep the pH in balance is an important one.
Vitamins of B complex, especially B6 are synergistic with magnesium and should help the body be more sensitive to hormones. Antioxidants prevent the oil in your body from oxidizing and "hardening" thus causing blockages inside the body which can also bring about cysts. Therefore the oil soluble vitamin E should be greatly helped taken at least once every other day or in more extreme condition taken once a day. It is difficult to determine how sensitive a person is on vitamin E, but the usual dose is between 200 i.u. to 400 i.u./day. Vitamin C sodium ascorbate is an important one too and increases the body's antioxidant, in particular, the water soluble component at least so that this may help maintain or reduce the body's to forces of free radicals that may bring about cysts formation.
The final issue is most doctor's med that attempts to control, bind, increase hormones, may bring about ovarian cysts, whether they are "the pill", or hormone replacements. This should be looked at with caution.

01/12/2010: Ginger from Midland, Tx replies: "I am very glad to have found this information if it really works I thinnk I will give it a try I have at least 3 fibroids if not more now but I have been told I have a complex ovarian cyst on my right ovary and am awaiting results from a sonogram on the 19th I am sure she will tell me what she wants to do about the fibroids and esp. the cyst she is hoping it is gone but my hunch is it won't be. I just went thru my 3rd pregnancy miscarriage after 4 pregnancies I am 43 yrs old but I know there are woment having children with success who are older than me I will gladly try this is it only takes a few weeks to get rid of my medicaid runs out the end of feburary I think if I could just get rid of them before the end of feb and have more sonograms done to show I don't have them anymore I would be so grateful and happy you couldn't knopw how happy I would be to hear no more fibroids and no more cysts. Thank you for the advice. Ginger"
