12 Natural Remedies for Fibroids

For uterine fibroids or ovarian cysts, which have a high possibility of being caused by too much estrogen in the system, try Calcium D-Glutarate. It removes excess estrogen and helps with many female problems.

Blackstrap is “unsulphured”. And who eats a bottle a day of molasses?

Hallo ladies,

I have been battling fibroids with heavy bleeding and flooding for the last 8 years. I started taking some Ayurveda medicine and therapies but although my fibroids, body weight and the belly have reduced significantly, I am yet to see satisfactory results on the flow.

I came across this blog and I have been consistently taking ACV and BSM as recommended together with other herbal medications including Red Raspberry.

The last time I had a scan, my largest fibroid had reduced from 9 to 7 cms. That was before I started using AVC and BSM. I am eager to see how the flow will be in a few days. I feel encouraged and celebrate success stories posted here by my fellow ladies. Mine will also be a success story and I know it will benefit others.

I used to take it but I stopped and I didn't go for scan but now am going to start drinking it again because I have heavy flow..

Thank you!!! Just bought one and hoping for my uterus to cry, sing, and smile 😃!

Ify am from nigeria too. Did you get this fixed? how?

Updates!? I just started taking iodine yesterday and you describe my situation almost exactly. My period started getting really bad about five years ago. I can feel big lump in my lower abdomen, too. I have fibroids.

I just read that pain like that can indicate that the fibroid is breaking up and your body is ridding itself of the toxins that are in it, hence the pain with the treatment.

Hello! Did your fibroids ever shrink? What bout the calcified one? I pray it did. I'm seeking remedies.

Hi, thank you for your testimony did your Fibroids shrink? Just seeking proof. I have a fibroid that is 11.5cm. I am looking for alternatives instead of surgery. Please let me know. Thank you

Blackstrap molasses can help reduce fibroids.

What is water and air? Is that some type of medicine to shrink fibroids?

EC: No, the poster from 2008 is referring to breathing exercises and hydration!

Hi - did you ever dissolve all of your fibroids?

Hops extract is a not an aromatase inhibitor, but a strong phytoestrogen.

Beets. I was bleeding for 35 days I a row before Thanksgiving, when we traditionally have (amount other normal Thanksgiving foods) pickled beets with red onion.

It's easy to prepare if you buy picked beets in a can, then thinly slice (or use a mandolin) red onions. Put sliced red onion and beets, including the juice, into a container (glass or stainless steel is what I use ) and marinate for at least one day, a few more days for extra flavor (note it is good for a long, long time afterwards ). We have a large family so I use 2-3 red onions and a large can of pickled beets (the largest they sell at Smart & Final). Now I'm a busy mom, so I do it the easy way, by buying a can of already pickled beets and adding the red onion (fresh) the way that my mom taught me. However you can make it yourself with fresh beets and red onion, but that way is messy but perhaps healthier if you use fresh beets. My mom made it that way for years but the switched to this recipe. Whichever way you like, but please note the pickled beets in a can worked for me.

Anyways, I ate beets on Thanksgiving, and a few days afterwards I ate the leftovers and all the beets (around four regular helpings I would say). Then after all the beets were gone for some reason I was compelled to drink the beet juice it had been sitting in (which I had never done before).

That weekend my ovary or uterus started throbbing painfully, man that hurt! And then I started bleeding the heaviest I ever had with sorry, TMI, globs coming out as well. Tampon and pad getting soaked and needing to be changed almost hourly. I was worried, as was my husband as we have no insurance. That lasted 3 days and then.....drumroll...I stopped bleeding all together! Total days I bled was 43 days (with maybe a random day or two dry here or there). It's now been almost two weeks with no bleeding.

So researching and reading online somewhere trying to figure out if I had fibroids or cysts, I ran across a recipe for beets and honey drink for fibroid issues. I remembered the beets I ate and the beet juice that I drank and think that is what helped me. So my insides, ovaries or uterus started hurting like before, so I just ate a bunch more of my pickled beets this afternoon, and drank some / a lot of the juice it was sitting in. I'll be making more pickled beets for Christmas (as this is a family favorite). However I will be eating more beets regularly. I will try to remember to post in the future if this helped in the long run.

hi friends payal here - I am reporting changes with BSM - I have written 2-3 posts here so pls read ALL of them before y ask questions

here is more info to help you and its a lot of info so read and make notes - pls read my other BSM notes as well - if you find this useful pls post this to social media to help other women since I am not on any and don't have time for that. Spread the word so that we can get more feedback.

HOW TO TEST IF YOUR FIBROID REMEDY IS WORKING :

1.IT SHOULD REDUCE YOUR ABNORMAL HEAVY BLEEDING AND REDUCE THE NO OF DAYS OF THE PERIOD

WHY?

Because this indicates that the remedy has been able to reduce estrogen and increase progesterone - which is the only way to reduce the blood flow and shrink the tumour

EASY STEPS to reduce Fibroids :

1.You must stop all diary, meat - fish and eggs is ok I think

2.I cannot live without milk yoghurt ghee - so I continued with youghurt, ghee but stopped milk - MILK is the biggest culprit in fibroids - was on Organic milk for 10 years and it is one of the main causes of fibroids. I use powdered milk from INDIA - I cannot recommend any milk powder in USA because all of them come from the same source or are hydrolysed - the INDIAN MILK POWDER NAME IS AMULYA from AMUL.

3.Eat Simple meals - don't go hungry but eat simple means eg I eat rice, dal, vegetables, oats. Pls add to this sensibly

WHY YOU NEED TO EAT SIMPLE - becoz otherwise you will not know what changes the BSM is making to your body and if it is shrinking your fibroid.

If you eat lots of healthy greens, lentils, sprouts, nuts, fresh salads, fruits, veggies ALL GOOD - continue

Restrict or use sugar substitutes - I use jaggery instead of white sugar that's all

Stay away from sugary drinks, heavy fried food.

NOW LETS COME TO THE CURE :

1.I have Fibroids last 8 years very very large ones 6-7 of them

2.I had very very heavy periods - flooding but it lasted 1.5-2 days but it was still BAD

My first first step is to find something that reduces the heavy flow - that is the step in the correct direction

I tried everything from juicing, greens, wheatgrass, to turmeric beets carrots ginger smoothies, castor oil packs - NOTHING SHRUNK THE FIBROID. Except carrot juice NOTHIGN REDUCED THE BLOOD FLOW - THIS SHOWS THAT THE ROOT CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED.

BlackStrap Molasses : HOW TO USE THIS FOR FIBROIDS CURE

1.I used Aunt Patty's unsulphured molasses 4weeks back - I saw results within 24-48 hours

2.It reduced the blood flow completely

to your questions - I take it on and before and during my periods - YES YES YES YES YES

Because that's how you test if BSM is working for you

When your periods start, take 1 spoon BSM with warm water.

ADDITIONS :

1.Pls take Calcium Magnesium Zinc tablets 2 tablets with the BSM - why? because BSM contains around less 1 mgcopper & u need ZINC 2 tablets = 20 mg to maintain zinc : copper ratio in the body which is approx 15 : 1 (15 zinc and 1 copper)

I take Kirkland tablets from Costco

why should we take calcium magnesium

we DONT

But all these are minerals and ratio has to be correct, when something is more something else is impacted so to be safe take 1 tablet of the above. You could take just zinc but I am NOT sure.

1A. High iron in BSM can lead to constipation - Solution : Take any laxative along with it or eat 4 fruits and drink lot of liquids to prevent constipation OR take Tripahala 2-3 tablets

Triphala is an indian ayurvedic remedy to treat constipation

1B. THE BSM is powerful, it removes excess ESTROGEN and it also REMOVES copper TOXICITY from the blood - SO YOU MUST SUPPORT THE LIVER

Pls take beetroot juice to help liver remove excess estrogen and copper from the blood and dispel it from the body

Helping the liver cleanse the blood of estrogen and copper is v important because BSM will detox the body and uterus and it will put the excess estrogen and copper and the liver must efficiently eliminate both.

VIT C, carrots may do this but VIT C will reduce copper - I will try and then report this

For now PLS USE beet juice when you consume BSM

2.I took only 1 spoon BSM with warm water - I take it a couple of days a week and stop and then go to next week - WHY??

BSM can make your hair go gray - something to do with Copper levels hence I take it 1-3 days and then stop.

So short steps are :

BSM 1 spoon in warm water 3 days a week

with Cal Mag Zinc tablet 2 tablets

with laxative or Triphala (high iron in BSM may create constipation)

with beet juice (to help liver escort excess estrogen and copper released by BSM out of the body)

I think with this in few days belly size will show some shrinkage and you will physically feel the relief when excess estrogen and copper is out of the body. I DID.

Periods MUST become light very very light

IF NOT, PLS INCREASE BSM to 1-2 spoons once or twice a day

If your hair is not turning grey - you are lucky so you can continue this daily till it shrinks

If you don't get constipation - you are lucky so you can continue this daily till it shrinks

Pls observe copper levels and zinc levels and DON'T ignore

Uncontrolled or improper copper levels can and will lead to CANCER - but BSM if you just understand copper and zinc level balance - is a SURE CURE FOR FIBROIDS

Also ladies keeping Fibroid tumours in our bodies with heavy bleeding is a HIGH risk for future cancer - so BSM seems a very very sure fire method to shrink it. If everyone uses and provides feedback we can do it.

My feedback is that my periods are now a breeze - but I have to take BSM during the period.

My tummy was huge and bloated - it has shrunk to the extent that I am still a bit bloated but I can walk, run play exercise - which I could not earlier.

I feel free, as though released from fibroids PRISON - the shrinking will happen faster if I take it daily - I will report back in 3-4 weeks.

Please send feedback to this FORUM

I will try with ACV and report

thanks

Hi.. I need more information.. maybe you can help.. I have 2 fibroids with 7 and 2 cm.. if I take blackstrap molasses how many spoon should I take in 1 day?
During Mensis period can I drink blackstrap molasses? Can please advise me?

Thank you,
Rose

My teenage daughter had very irregular periods. A couple summers ago, her period lasted 3 weeks without relenting or tapering at all. Much to her dismay, I mandated she ingest 1 to 2 Tbsp. of black strap molasses a day to start. She hated the taste but it started to taper her period. We upped it to 2 doses a day and it stopped in 3 to 4 days. I am a believer:)

Yes Jeannie you can and must take it during after and before periods

Please use 1 spoon AM and 1 spoon PM with warm water

Take unsulphured brand

Supplement with zinc 20 mg since that offsets heavy copper

Friends please use and post your feedback.

Hello Friends Payal here again - Blackstrap Molasses (BSM) is the cure for Fibroids. I made my first post on 10/21 and its 10/30 this afternoon. I have gotten my life back. I will attach a video link where it is claimed that BSM somehow fixes the PH level inside of the uterus and that is how it is able to dissolve Fibroids.

I am seeing miraculous changes in my body. My belly used to be bloated like 3rd trimester - since I have 4-5 really large Fibroids measuring 20 cms

Since I started BSM 10/21, my belly has shrunk to 1st trimester - my pelvic area feels light. I don't have have the really ugly bloating, my belly is now soft. My energy levels are up and I will be resuming my sporting activities in 2 weeks - something that I have not been able to do for the last 9 months since the Fibroid increased in size from 18 - 20 cms. I can clearly see and feel that my belly has shrunk and the uterus and stomach look more normal than when we have bulky Fibroids. I plan to take a test end Dec and will post my results. I think that the BSM 1 spoon AM and 1 spoon PM in warm water (used Aunty Patty's brand) from whole foods, has thinned the endometrium lining and this has straightaway shrunk the belly. My body feels like it was 7-8 years back when I did not have Fibroids. I can walk, run and work - earlier I had no energy for anything.

what do I take

Unsulphured Black Strap molasses 1 spoon AM and 1 spoon PM in warm water

Some precautions :

1.BSM can coat your teeth since it has iron - if it bothers you please use a straw to drink it

2.BSM has high traces of copper - for me this makes my black hair go white because high copper can do it. I take Kirkland's Calcium Magnesium Zinc tablets to counter the excess copper

3.I don't use anything else

Please ladies, I am trying to get onto as many blogs and you tube videos to spread this message because nothing has worked for me last 8 years since I got Fibroids. Please pass on this message to as many people as possible because I am seeing very clear definitive improvements in my belly, uterus, flow (now scanty) and overall energy and lightness of the pelvic area

I currently have a cyst and fibroids. I'm wondering if I can take the blackstrap molasses while I'm on my period? I'm currently getting periods that are lasting me two weeks I have stop the bleeding with medication from the doctor that has lasted me. Can I start the black strap molasses while on my actual period?

Hello to all the women suffering from Fibroids, I have 5-6 very very large fibroids and my uterus is 20 cms - I was OK with life till it was 18cms but after it increased to 20 cms life has been unbearable - I am even more tired, fatigued, look like I am in 3rd trimester and hair loss etc etc.. My periods are heavy but they last max 2 days - I started using VIT B6 100 MG daily - even during periods to reduce the flow. It helped a lot..but we may need to take more than 100 mg during periods if the flow is heavy and this causes temporary tingling and numbness in the feet which will go away once you stop B6 for a day. I don't want to go in for surgery so am desperately looking for a CURE.

I read about BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES AND STARTED UNSULPHURED BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES YESTERDAY - I got my period today AND I cannot believe it - its lightest of the light, I don't feel bloated, heavy tired, I am not sighing and groaning as I normally do. I have started taking 1 spoon AM and 1 spoon PM with warm water and I have just taken 2 spoons - MY UTERUS IS SINGING - my body can feel the difference. I have read 2-3 firm testimonials of women who cured and dissolved their FIBROID TUMOURS with Blackstrap Molasses. I can confirm that with 1st 2 spoons my UTERUS is singing, my periods are the lightest ever and I am sitting down to share this - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RUSH AND GET A BOTTLE OF UNSULPHURED BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES AND TAKE 2 SPOONS A DAY AND CHECK FOR YOURSELF AND REPORT progress. BSM is very very rich in IRON, and a host of antioxidants and VIT B6 which increases progesterone. 1 IMP matter to note here and all women will already know this - if you take any IRON supplement, your periods will end up much more heavy hence I always avoided iron supplements and used to rely on beet juice, carrot juice, wheatgrass juice and lots of VIT C. Now I am using only BSM because it has all the IRON a woman needs. If you wish, only if you wish you may add carrots, beets, aloe vera juice to your drink. I don;t

I am using only BSM and it has come as a life saver and a miracle.

I am very very confident that if bleeding is controlled - then it can shrink fibroids. BSM is very very rich in antioxidants and B6 that balance PH levels inside the uterus.

I am NOT taking any other medicines or anything else - I just stopped diary and meat and eggs and continue with vegetables. I was taking VIT B6 but BSM is doing far far far better than VIT B6 so I have stopped VIT B6.

If for some reason it is not working for you - stop and check what else are you taking that is not letting BSM work.. is it birth control pills or something else hormonal. Stop that and continue with BSM

I will share my feedback in 2-3 months if I notice a reduction in the size but the way day 2 has gone, I am very very confident that BSM is doing something awesome to clean up the uterus and the pelvic area.

Please take BSM and continue this thread - I have tried every other remedy last 7-8 years and nothing has worked to reduce Fibroids or the blood flow. The only thing that helped me so far is VIT B6 but BSM is working at a level far higher than VIT B6.

Brand I used was Aunt Pattys Unsulphured Organic Blackstrap Molasses from whole foods for $4.99 for 12 ounces - if you can't get this one, use ANY UNSULPHURED BRAND.

The PH level of the Uterus is somehow magically getting reset by BSM - ls report back - I think anything that reduces the flow and emptying and flooding during periods is the right way to shrink fibroids. It shows that it knows how to handle the ECO-SYSTEM.

Contrary to what most Doctors may not tell you - HEAVY PERIODS puts all women at much higher risk for all kinds of PEVLIC AREA cancers

In fact that's why I started VIT B6 to control and reduce the flow by medication.

BSM has just taken charge of my uterus and I believe it can set right the ecosystem, GOD BLESS, GOOD LUCK, PLEASE PASS THIS ONTO EVERY WOMAN WHO IS SUFFERRING OUT THERE AND IS HAVING FIBROIDS, CYSTS AND HEAVY BLEEDING.

I have gotten my life back.

Thanks,

Payal

I used Depends all the time :( I was scheduled for a surgery in August and since nothing seems to work I changed my diet to a Whole Foods Plant Based diet in May. The size of the fibroid went from 5cm to 2.9cm. YES to Flaxseeds meal, Rasberry, Yarrow, & Fenugreek tea, fruits, vegetables, grains, oatmeal, apple cider, monk fruit sweetener ... better if all is organic. NO to pesticides, sugar, dairy products, meat, coffee, process foods, alcohol, oils. In my case, Estrogen made them grow & Progesterone as well. This is a good source - https://nutritionfacts.org Also, Netflix: ‘Food Choices'. Changing my diet and adding a relaxation activity (yoga or knitting) It changed my life for better!

Hi, please can you tell me the measurements of what you took? Thanks

I have started taking over the last week, a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice with virgin olive oil which is about a table spoon qty when you combine the two. My period started 3 days into this and I have had no cramping and no clotting. I will definitely add ACV and molasses to the mix now. I also feel that a little high intensity training helps a lot with health so please consider a min of 30min a day 3x a week. A natural healer told me once that fibroids were created out of a past male hurt . Once I left my husband the symptoms improved drastically too so perhaps look at men in your life both past and present and see what issues you need to work through so you arent indirectly making yourself ill by holding onto pain.

Hi Blossom. Look into Borax (Boron). It removes calcifications from the body.

I just started taking ACV and baking soda for my fibroids and I have seen a lot of improvements

Tnks for sharing

hi Cyndee,

I know this is an old thread, but I have most of the same symptoms, as you did. I am researching t fibroids and came across your post! Have you been able to keep them at bay? I have had them off an on for years, they are very bad at the moment. I have just turned 50, and I am fed up of them. Thank You!

How much do you take of the Apple Cider Vinegar and molasses?

Hello,

The most important thing about reducing fibroids and cysts using ACV is not just using ACV. You need to change your diet. If you continue to eat lots of meat and calcium products... no amount of ACV will help. Your diet is also the important factor.

Did the wheat bran shrunk your fibroid?

Hi Teena,

Thank you for a prompt reply.

I tried the mag citrate for a short while because I was advised of the same thing by a neurosurgeon and it caused me frightening heart palpitations. I was then diagnosed with PVC until I found out what was causing them and stopped taking the citrate tabs. I went back to plain mag oxide and am pleased with the results.

Previously when having colonoscopies I was diagnosed with having irregular heartbeats while sedated. Liquid mag citrate was used to prep for those. That was before I ever took the citrate tabs and the only time I had heart disturbances so I'm convinced it was the citrate. I found out the way it is processed creates a manufactured glutamic acid (hidden source of MSG) which is a nerve stimulant.

Some may be able to tolerate hidden sources more than others. I have a difficult time tolerating the amount in capsules. I know the testing for those revealed 11-14 mg. of manufactured glutamic acid before capsules got larger. I am old and don't need to take the risk. I am pain free as long as I get adequate magnesium so I'll stick with the mag oxide.

Again, I truly appreciate your quick reply.

Anyone else have throat irritation after taking aple cider vinegar? I am having this side effect after only taking it for a few days. I have prepared it as suggested: 2 tsp and mixed with 1/8 tsp baking soda and water. I am taking it for fibroids and recurrent ovarian cysts. Any advice? Adding honey to mixture?

Hi KT, re magnesium oxide, it is due to poor absorption, as little as 4% is able to be utilised by the body. Hopefully as you had good results with mag oxide you could see more improvements with an easily assimilated one. I have used malate with good response, Ted has recommended mag citrate and mag chloride for bioavailability

Dear Teena,

Thank you so much for your post. Why did you say not to take mag. oxide? I was relieved of all joint pain, sciatica and the bone-on-bone grinding in my neck after I started taking magnesium oxide. In addition, I no longer got migraine headaches (as well as eliminating hidden sources of MSG contributed to no more headaches).

Please advise what is wrong with magnesium oxide.

I am so looking forward to your reply.

KT

Dear Teena,

This is a great list of things to do for Fibroids. I am sure many will benefit from it. Thanks for taking time to share this!

~Mama to Many~

Hi, fibroids feed on excess oestrogen, like birth control/pill etc, consider dairy milk has too much oestrogen = avoid. Also fibroids can form not from too much calcium but from deficiency in magnesium. Magnesium directs the calcium to the bones, when it's not there calcium builds up in tissue and joints causing pain. (Take magnesium in any form except oxide, perhaps magnesium malate as this is in the Apple Cider Vinegar too) I would suggest that on top of the Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda (on empty stomach) you research the benefits yourself and consider:

Kelp tablets ( for natural iodine) boosts immune system to fight fibroids
Vitamin D3 (immune system)
Blackstrap molasses (unsulphured)
Chaste berry(actively shrinks fibroids)
Flaxseed oil or boil flaxseeds 20 mins for tea (removes excess oestrogen)
Chickweed in tea or pills (actively shrinks fibroids)
Digestive enzymes esp serrapeptase, but not at meal times(eats fibroids, tumors, arterial plaque)
Zinc (deficiency can allow fibroids to form, zinc is required for immune system)

Also eat less meat (hormones) unless organic can eat same amount.
No coffee
Green tea is very good if organic
Add turmeric to hot drinks for inflammation
Kombucha is good because it contains enzymes, just not as much as the pills.

A good and diverse probiotic tablet from fridge in health store will assist the immune system.
Hopefully you are already taking vitamin c (immune support) from a whole food source. Ascorbic acid is only one component of wholefood vit c.
The blackstrap molasses can reduce the amount of bleeding. By the way, you probably have chickweed in your garden, I add mine to kombucha to make a kind of tincture.
Avoid processed salt, vegetable and canola oils, (body treats as toxins)
Replace with unrefined sea salt, coconut oil for cooking, (so many health benefits here)

Best to you on your health journey

Dear Ririn,

If yours came back after surgery, I would be concerned that ACV would not be enough.

I think in your shoes I would consider all the remedies on the Fibroid page, especially the castor oil packs and Essiac tea.

~Mama to Many~

Hello, I am wondering if you guys have the latest update of using this ACV to remove fibroid naturally. I had a fibroid removal. I notice the fibroid symptom has back again recently. The ultra sound back with another 5 of then. It is devastating. I want to remove it naturally without going under the knife again and hoping to have my first baby

Better But With Side Effects

I was diagnosed with fibroids. I also suffer from a irregular period. When I drunk the apple cider vinegar my period came right away and I felt great. I increased my apple cider dose to twice a day with a few tablespoons in water and I began having pelvic pain. I dont know if this is a detox reaction or my body rejecting it. The pain has been for a week but its mild and I normally feel it in the mornings. If anyone else has had this experience let me know.

I have had fibroids for more than 10 years and they have been getting worse. I didn't know until reading this report that the more anemic you are the more you bleed. I recently had an iron infusion and in the past have had iron injections. I have been anemic for the 10 years also which I think I have become accustomed to feeling the way I do. Anyway I have been taking hydrogen peroxide food grade in my water each day and have noticed my blood is definitely redder. I started taking 3 drops in every glass of water I would drink and have increased it to about 7 now. I am not going any higher because I don't like the bleach taste being too strong and I can cope with 7 drops. It must be food grade though. Any other hydrogen peroxide has toxic chemicals in it.

Thanks for all the comments shared. I have learned a lot. Please is baking powder same as baking soda? I have fibroid too and the last time I checked the size in April this year, it was 4.1cm. Since then, I have been taking ACV, and juice made from beet root, Apple, lemon and carrots. I have lost so much weight and my protruded tommy has reduced drastically.

EC: No, Baking Soda is Sodium Bicarbonate here in the USA.

You may wish to try these:

Vitamin A + organic Cod liver oil stops heavy bleeding fast. Also. organic Vitamin E capsules prevents one from suffering another fibroid after surgery. Thanks.

Thank you to everyone that has responded, I have really learnt a great deal. My question here is what's the precise measurement of ACV and Bicarbonate of soda to shrinking and possibly eliminating large fibroids? Please an urgent response would be appreciated.

Hi Julie, can you give an update on how you got on? Thanks.

A friend introduced cider vinegar to me recently. I've bndiagnosed w fb over 13yrs the vinegar Is effective as the masses are shrinking. No kids yet.pls how do I treat my hormonal imbalance. Pls I'm desperate

I gave up milk completely for 3 months and avoided dairy besides odd bit of organic cheese and plain yoghurt and it made absolutely no difference. I believe it has more to do with A. WHAT milk you consume, and B. your personal make up/dna..are you lactose tolerant and what's your blood type..the best is raw whole farm milk that goes for taste too.. if you want to blame your fibroids on toxins they're the ones created by MAN not nature

Combined in 8 or 10 oz. of water?

Veronica,

What method do you take of Cayenne and Cinnamon? Powder or pill? And how often?

You are supposed to use 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 2 tablespoon of ACV.

Good day Ted,

I have read all the write-ups for Fibroid. Please, my question bothers on the type of water to be used for mixing ACV and Baking Soda Tonic. Is it going to be hot or a luke-warm water? I pray I get a fast result because am in my mid 30, single, wish to marry soon and bear children.

Kindly reply please.

You can get it from health plus. Google the name and place your order but ensure that it is Braggs apple cider vinegar you request for.

Thanks for sharing. I will try out some of what you listed.

Please kindly let me know how you obtained your ACV here in Nigeria. I have checked all the major places here in Calabar and has not been able to find ORGANIC ACV. I have a relative who has just been diagnosed of an 11cm intramural fibroid. And as we've all seen, there's no drug for it.

I really know that she's going to be healed but please kindly reply to my email. If there's any member or reader of this forum that knows where I can get an organic ACV in Nigeria, kindly let me know.

MtM,

I agree, 1 T of BS would be dangerous. In addition, I think if she put that amount in 8 oz. of ACV it would bubble all over her counter.

I wondered if she meant to say 8 oz. of ACV. I think that's a lot to drink.

2 T of ACV in water I have taken so I think that is okay. It helped with elimination and the stool appeared to be cover with "fur". I guess it was candida?

Kt,

Not sure what the amounts the lady who reported a cure used, but I doubt it was 1 Tablespoon of baking soda. I think that would be a dangerous amount.

The apple cider vinegar baking soda tonic, I think is about 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar and 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water.

MtM

Hi everyone,

I have been diagnosed with Fibroids about 4 years ago. I had 3 measuring about 5cm, 4cm and the last one 3cm.

At the point of my diagnosis I was only 25 and was having very heavy periods with extremely big clots. I seeked the help of Traditional Chinese Medicine and didnt follow through too welll as I often forgot to take my medication and it tasted putrid. I was single then and it didn't really hit me that fibroids can potentially cause infertility.

Now, im married and TTC for about a year, after trying and trying without success, I decided to research on natural remedies to help shrink fibroids. I also went for a scan to check the size of my fibroids before embarking on the natural route to shrinking my fibroids. They were 6cm+, 5cm+ and 3cm+ (they had grown)

I started taking

• ACV(apple cider vinegar) organic and raw brand + BSM (blackstrap mollasses, unsulphated and organic) + manuka honey, once or twice daily.
• Iodine (read that it helps)
• EPO
• Flaxseed Oil
• Cut out meat as much as I could and only eat organic meats when I do have them
• Matcha powder with ginger, tumeric and cinnamon (made into a drink)
• vitamin C
• Serrazyme
• DIM
• nattokinase
• tumeric tablets
• Vitex (chasteberry capsules)
• milk thistle to cleanse the liver at night
• Dandelion Drops

I did all this continuously for about a month and a half up till now and even brought them on holiday trips. I recently went for a Pelvic Ultrasound and intravaginal and they found that 2 of my fibroids were 4-ish cm and the third was 3cm. To me, this was a big improvement. my periods are way lighter and alot less painful and clots reduced by 90%.

I told myself that I'd pay it forward and share my experience with everyone going through the same pain and struggles as I am. I am religiously continuing the above remedies daily without fail and have changed my diet to fruit juices as far as possible (orange, apple, ginger, pineapple, a dash of tumeric, flax and chia seeds)

Last but not least, I do castor oil packs daily when my AF is over.

I hope this helps those struggling with fibroids.

Is 8 oz. the correct amount of ACV with 1 TBSP of BS? How much water do you mix the 2 TBSP of ACV at lunch?

I have fibriods size of peas and were causing spotting after period, which caused much anxiety. Started ACV and Baking Soda 1 8oz cup with 1 tbsp in the morning, apple cider 2 tbsp in water at lunch only, then at nights same as morning and the spotting stopped. Not sure if they disintegrate but had noticed some debris when I pee in the toilet. Let's see my appointment is February 28. Hoping to hear that the debris is really the fibroid gone. Remember that this may work instantly for some persons, while it may take longer.

Ladies we need to change our eating habits eat more veggies, drink plenty water and exercise. I'm trying, you can too. All the best to us.

hi, I have also fibroids around 7.8 cm,, just detect last year 2015, can I take this treatment because I don't want to under go hysterectomy due to no kids yet, even I have fibrosis in my left upper lung I got this since I was small my doctor said,, thanks and good day

I discovered the remedy of fibroid on this website, I know that the fibroid maybe getting smaller after taking apple cider vinegar with baking soda as directed by this website, I notice reduction in the size of the fibroid. At the hospital I diagnosed 23cm, I could not lie on my belly, but now I sleep on my stomach with out feeling that sharp lump in my belly. I am very greatful to this website. The problem I am confused with is the heavy discharge, I mean heavy clear Water discharge.

My question is am I getting better or is this fibroid dissolving? I don't like this discharge, please help me.

Cayenne and Cinnamon does work to slow/stop the bleeding from fibroids. It is what I'm using right now. I normally don't comment but I know how scary it is to bleed out with the huge clots. Blood transfusions aren't fun either because of bleeding so much, done them.

If I were you, I would use the exact same recipe that everybody else is using that works for them. I will try the unsulphured blackstrap molasses. If you can't find unsulfured I would get regular blackstrap molasses.

Hi, can you tell me how much and when you are taking? Are you taking two teaspoons of each in the morning and at night only one teaspoon of each? Please give me the specifics so I'll know what to try. Desperate.

Vinegar is acidic and it will give you some. So you need to take it with water. Baking soda easily remedies heartburn and I take it to get rid of heartburn.

Pras, I would be inclined to say no. I have taken both BSM and ACV faithfully every day for years and years, and I recently found out that I have adenomyosis. But it certainly wouldn't hurt to try- everyone is different, and you might find you get other health benefits (as I have) from the BSM and ACV.

Can someone let me know if ACV and BSM remedy discussed below work for Adenomyosis. Suffering with stage 4 adeno..so please help. A

I was recently told I had multiple fibroids which in retrospect I must have suffered from for a very long time as I have always had heavy bleeding and cramping. I immediately started researching on a natural cure and landed on this site. I decided to try ACV (the filtered kind as I couldn't get the recommended one). I must say I was shocked at the results. My last period was without cramps at all. I used to get pains during ovulation but even that has not been painful at all this month. I'm still taking ACV hoping it's shrinking the fibroids and will definitely let you know when I go for the next scan. I'm still trying to get the organic unfiltered ACV as I think it will be more effective.

I was prompted to share this in the hope that some lady out there going through terrible menstrual pains will read this and try out ACV. I really works.

Thanks for the encouraging comments on this platform. Please anyone know a cure for calcified fibroids? I have used Blackstrap Molasses and Apple Cider Vinegar but the fibroids size ( intramural between 5cm and 2cm) hasn't changed. I have recorded weight loss and my tummy has gone down a bit.

I am 46, have the same problem and I took ACV+BSM and baking soda regularly for 3 months. Unfortunately no change. Now I am totally disappointed. My best wishes are with all ladies who are struggling with fibroids.

My periods started to become irregular 3 years ago they got longer and heavier and passed several clots too. Now, remind you I don't like going to doctors they put you through test after test and find out nothing and you have bills to pay so I have gone out on my own and experimented on my own and this what I'm doing now and it seems it's working----I take daily 3 Vitex, 1-B-12,1-B-6, 2 vitamin E, 2-green tea vitamins, 1-Zinc and a iron pull as needed for energy no bleeding or spotting and period ALOT better no clots no heavy bleeding and cramps are less and I have more energy I can do a lot more now more a normal life then worry about going out somewhere and have a gusher and have a embarrass moment when leaked through your clothing. I also changed my diet no red meat, diary products, alcohol, no pop when I do it's just NO caffeine like orange, sprite and root beer, no sweets (sugars) pasta and breads (just wheat), no saturated fats, I eat mostly chicken, turkey, fresh fruits and vegetables and toss salads and I drink a lot of water. I have never had no surgeries of any kind so I am scared if I ever went to a doctor that helped me that they would tell me I need a hysterectomy, that word terrorizes me. They say when Menopause comes Fibroids stop growing and they die off, I'm turning 50 next March so I'm hoping Premenopause or Menopause is around the corner for me and my fibroid problem will be gone.

Good luck!

Hi Penny, not sure if you're still looking for the Black strap Molasses in KL, but if you are then you might want to check out Vitacare Farmasi in Midvalley Mega mall (lower ground floor, opposite Tino's restaurant). I recently purchased mine from there, although in powder form mixed with Ginger, by the brand Earth Organic and it seems quite effective. I have been taking that in conjunction with eating raw garlic (2 cloves a day), drinking Green tea (once everyday), and eating loads of raw red & yellow peppers (daily) with a glass of lemon infused water. I really hope this helps you.

Best wishes to you & God Bless :)

I drank apple cider vinegar in water, had beets carrots and molasses twice a day, I exercised about 30 mins. A day five times a week and went away from my ex ( stress), I drink chamomile tea almost every night. I cut out animal products as much as possible .And drank lots of water and used beans or peas with meals.

My fibroids had caused me a miscarriage and was hurting my back . I did those changes for a summer, not only did I lose about 30 lbs bit when I went for check up, fibroids were almost non existent. The point of natural remedy is to decrease the estrogen. Stress, animal foods etc. Feed fibroids. Don't feed the fibroids and they will shrink. Since all that success I started talking to that bloke again.. needless to say I feel a small one but I'm getting rid of him for good. For me that's my source if stress. Good luck.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I'm 38 years old but very active, doing my workout 5 times per week as I like to stay fit ...the pain I have is a numb one, in the left ovary area, I checked the doctor opinion, he said no cysts but could be this fibroid that gives me confusing signals... My periods used to be painful but no issues with the bleeding. Also the painful sexual acts. So I hope its not paranoia and when I'm eating chicken meat, the pain is back. As long as I eat more veggies and fruits, I'm ok.

Will try different things for the fibroid, along with the ACV.

Have a nice day!

Hi Michaela, I'm not sure of your age and that is important. Are you possibly heading toward menopause? My own fibroids didn't get out of hand until my late 40's and they shrank and their symptoms ended when I went on an alkalizing diet. Although I started out alkalizing just as you did, by drinking an ACV tea I learned of here, I soon learned it was better to look into the Alkalizing diet and I changed the way I ate. I haven't found that organic meat is necessary for alkalizing, although I would buy it if my husband agreed to it. We do our spending as a team. Nor do I need to use vinegar tea any more. Keeping my body alkaline seems to have been the reason my fibroids shrank and as I eliminated cow dairy, sugar, and gluten, which cause inflamation, my arthritis calmed down and I feel a renewed mental clarity. This diet of mostly vegetables, along with meat and fruit, will be my way of eating for the rest of my life because the change has been so abrupt. I suppose I was wondering if you were trying several Earth Clinic cures at once and perhaps the organic meat isn't necessary as well? For me, organic meat would be optimal, but for now, my aches are all gone. I'm sorry about your other pain. Perhaps you might describe it better. Is it from the same area? I wish the very best of health to you and hope I'm not too far off base with this response. Either way, I am certain you will find your answer here on EC.

Hi,

I discovered fibroid couple years ago..it was only 2 cm and didn't cause much issues...but after 2 or 3 years, at my last check up, it was about 5.5 cm ...not to mention the discomfort and pain I had lately...during my period or intercourse. So after doing some internet research, I found the apple cider vinegar suggestion...so I'm currently taking this from 3 months now...pain is almost gone. I also take primrose oil pills and slices of cucumber in my water because its a good anti-inflammatory cure. I also cut meat consumption...try to eat only twice per week lean chicken...bc I also noticed that whenever I try to consume more meat, the pain starts to bug me even if I still take my ACV. Now, I'm living in a country where organic meat is very rare to find or very expaensive....my question is, am I really punished not to eat meat all my life now because of this stupid fibroid?? Can someone advise in this matter??

Dear Kt in Australia,

1. I am not sure exactly what mechanism the charcoal is using to shrink fibroids. I just know there are reports of it doing so. Charcoal does draw out toxins, so that may be it.

2. I know of no limit to how often charcoal poultices are used. I know for serious ailments they are used daily for a good while. I wouldn't use them 24/7 though. Several hours in the evening or overnight. And just monitor how you feel. Each person is different.

3. I have not read about using clay for fibroids, but I don't see a reason that it couldn't be done. I do know that sometimes clay and charcoal are used in the same poultice with good results.

4. Yes, I use ground flax in my poultices. It seems coarser than flour; more like cornmeal.

5. I have used charcoal internally and externally at the same time. You just want to make sure you take it with plenty of water to avoid constipation. You also should not take it within 2 hours of any medications.

There was a recent post here about using serrapeptase for fibroids. You might want to look in to that as well.

I hope this works well for you!

~Mama to Many~

Hello Mama of many

Thanks for your help and information which is so informative.

1. Can I use a charcoal poultice to extract toxins from the fibroid to help shrink it?

2. How many days/ weeks/or months can I effectively use a poultice?

3. Can I use pure certified organic clay (used also for the purpose of face masks ) as part of the poultice mix combined woth the flax?

4. When you say flax, do you mean flax seeds that have been ground to a flour type substance?

I aim to shrink and eliminate the fibroid via a vegetarian diet and this charcoal poultice.

5. If I also eat some charcoal will this also assist in the detoxification of the toxins from my fibroid? If so should I do this at the same time, before or after using a seroes of poultice treatments for maximum benefit?

Hoping you will reply shortly so I can start my own natural treatment versus surgical removal of a 10 x 8.5cm fibroid (4 x 3 inch approx). Size of an orange to a grapefruit size.

Hello Anne,

Do you have any updates? Just bought Medorrhinum waiting for it to arrive. Thanks.

I'm surprised serrapeptase is not mentioned in conjunction with other recommendations.

• Fibroids are also susceptible to being dissolved by high-dose enzyme therapy. The enzyme SERRAPEPTASE is particularly effective for this purpose. Keep the bottle of enzymes by your bedside and take 250,000 SPU with a little water first thing in the morning and last thing at night, at least 2 hours after eating. The point is for the enzymes to digest the fibroids, not your food.
• The late Guy Abraham M.D., found that iodine (2% or 5% Lugol's Iodine) was really good to use in estrogen dominant diseases, including fibroids. Or you can supplement with kelp daily.
• Both vitamins A and D (5,000 IU daily) have been shown to reduce fibroid tumor growth.
• Resveratrol, a pigment found in red grape skins, causes a potent “anti-fibrotic” effect by reducing type I and III collagen levels so that should be recommended.
• Chasteberry (vitex), as mentioned, and pokeroot will help regulate the estrogen.
• Castor oil packs, as mentioned, are excellent for the lymphatic system and assist in improving circulation, stagnation and elimination of benign tumors in women, especially those who suffer from uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts. But this is a time consuming protocol if done properly (good video on YouTube titled, 'Castor Oil Packs For Fibroid Tumors' that helps explain in detail).

Note, if you are a daily coffee drinker (drink green tea instead) or eat red meat frequently, both have been shown to worsen symptoms.

Hi Scopa...The Iodine Protocol is probably best for fibroid or cyst problems. There are many independent research articles on the successful reduction and eradication of both uterine fibroids and breast cysts using lugol's iodine or Iodoral. There are even several people on this website who have also cured their own fibroids problems using the Iodine Protocol.

The Iodine Protocol (Long version)

Iodine Protocol (short version)

Research: Iodine, Ovaries and Fibroids

My last piece of advice is to take the Iodine Protocol exactly as advised -- which includes taking all the companion nutrients. If you don't do this then it probably will not work very well.

Dear Scopa,

Well, that is discouraging - you have persevered and have not seen results.

I would try castor oil packs. They help so many different types of tumors and cysts. Do not use them during your period though as they can increase the flow.

Also, because animal products contain hormones, (even organic animal products) reducing animal products in your diet may help.

The herb vitex (also known as chaste tree berry) may help as well.

I hope you find relief soon!

I have been using the Apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons and black strap molasses 2 tablespoons twice per day for more than six months for my fibroids. I have several. People say that you should go and get it check to see if it has shrunk. I have not because I know it has not. I feel it every day and it is still the same size. As a matter of fact, I think it has gotten bigger. It rest on my bladder, making having access to a restroom a must always!

Does anyone have suggestions for me? I can't take this any more. I really do not want to have surgery.

Hi, can I take the acv+bsm+baking soda while still in oral contraceptive (this pill is to control my heavy and prolonged bleeding)? Thanks.

Dear Angela,

Apple cider vinegar pills might work as well. Some people find they do for a variety of conditions.

I think the blackstrap won't work as well in pill form. The pills often have an iron supplement too, which works well for some if the issue you are treating is anemia.

But blackstrap molasses has a lot of nutrients concentrated into it and needs to be taken as is. It would take a lot of pills to get the amount of nutrients in 1 Tablespoon of blackstrap. (And because of the added iron, I don't think you could take the equivalent of "blackstrap molasses pills" safely.)

~Mama to Many~

Hi the apple cider vinegar+blackstrap molasses... can it be taken while in pills (this is for excessive bleeding) help please. Thank you.

I read once on earthclinic that blackstrap molasses works wonders for fibroids. I told a co worker about what I found as she was heading to surgery after the holiday's. She was clearly upset as she had grandchildren to support and missing work would have actually hurt her situation rather than helped...she took my advice and took the recommend dose...I lost contact with her bcuz my job with the company was temporary. A year later I saw her at the grocery store and she noticed me with excitement in her eyes, she told me that after taking the blackstrap molasses her fibroids were completely gone...she didn't need surgery after all...needless to saz there's a very happy grandma in San Antonio today!! Lol thanks earthclinic for all the useful information...

Sania, not everything works for everyone all the time. You can also try drinking a cup or two of Sage tea a day..

Hello, I used unsulphured bsm. but it don't work. I used only 1/2 tsp but my periods prolonged. Can anyone tell me y I have this problem?

I am so encouraged by your testimony. Congratulations for your healing. I need to learn more from you. How are you doing now? Would like to hear from you

Green Tea only increases breast fibroid inflammation for me. I have tried an herbal anti-inflammatory with green tea, which makes BF inflammation worse.

I have one big fibroid 11 cm and one other small. I miscarried at week 6th last month although miscarriage not directly related to fibroids. what I noticed that my fibroid got bigger during pregnancy (11cm) and had red regeneration. I am not considering surgery although some doctors push for it, first as I don't have symptoms or bleedings but also for the high risk associated with big fibroid surgery as I am newly married and dont want to lose my uterus or my fertility since it is not harming.

I have been reading about vitamine D and although I have been Vitamine D deficent, those OB doctors never mention that it has effect on fibroid until I did research myself. I even become more deficent after my miscarriage. I am now having the Vitamine D 3 50,000 UI once a week till my level is up. and will see the effect, whether it can be helping to shrink fibroid or not, I will also start the herbal therapy but first I want to see the effect of Vitamin D. thanks

Hi Joy,

I think Darcy is saying thank you, to you because her GP what ever that is, did not explain what the vitamin D was for. And you have given her an understanding why her GP gave it to her. She was given the Vitamin D since, and after evidence of fibroid.

It was also my case. Vitamin D is a hormone vitamin. It is very popular nowdays but very dangerous because of the dosage.

Darcy,

It sounds like in your case the vit D made them worse...? Is that correct? In my case it actually seems to have healed them.

Where can I buy this blackstrap molasses in Kuala Lumpur as I have fibroid about 8cm and doctor said I need operation to remove my whole uterus but I still want children! Please help.

Hi Joy

Talking about vit D - my GP gave me some vit D tablet to take since my blood tests showed that and after an ultrasound my womb is full of fibroids! Now I understand why, thank you very much! :))))))

When I had my first baby the surgeon for the emergency csection commented on how many fibroids were in my uterus (disheartening!). :(. Then when I found out I was prego with number two I researched and found that a research team had success shrinking fibroid tumors in rats by giving them vitamin d.

When my son was taken by csection the surgeon said that he saw no fibroids!

Yes, I can't drink much beet juice either - I used to drink 1 liter packs because I thought I was doing myself a favour and being "healthy" o:O

Thank you Mama. Thats motivating for me.

I am drinking Organic ACV and unsulphered organic BSM twice a day in warm water. Hopefully it should help me shrink my fibroid and looking to conceive as soon.

Thank you everyone for posting your experience.

Fibroids and period pain:

ALL THE PRAISE TO GOD! I have been taking 1 to 2 tablespoons of Black Strap Molasses and Apple Cider Vinegar for just about 2 months and I am having the very best period I have had in decades! I am still taking Motrin but only for a dull ache, not the stabbing knife twisting pain that I used to experience on my left ovary. I am so gratefully to God for Earth Clinic and for all of you who post cures here to help each other!

Dear Tina,

I take Apple Cider Vinegar and Blackstrap Molasses when I am pregnant and find them very helpful.

I would try castor oil packs over the abdomen area. 4 nights in a row, take three nights off. Do not use during your period. You could do that for a month or longer. It helps the liver to detox. It can help with fibroids too, I believe.

You should also take a folic acid supplement when you are trying to conceive and while pregnant.

I hope these things will be helpful to you and that you will be able to conceive soon!

~Mama to Many~

Hi,

Can you please help me. I am 36 year old and I have a 5 year old daughter.

I had fibroid in 2014 and I got it operated (laproscopic)as well. Now on Nov 2015 I came to know from my Gyn that I have fibroid again, I am very tensed as I am putting on weight, majorly on my Tummy. I dont want to get it operated again as I want to conceive this year. I came across this website and thought of trying it.

I started taking ACV(1 Spoon) and BSM( 2 spoon) twice in a day, please help me...Can continue with this even after I conceive or I cannot take BSM and ACV when I am pregnant.

Please advice me what I suppose to do as I want to have child this year as I am already 36 yr old and suffering from fibroid. What I can do reduce my weight and shrink my fibroid without any medical procedure and parllely I can plan for family and conceive.

I would really appreciate your advice.

Sania,

You must know sugarcane juice? You can find "ganaye ka juice" or ROO as it is called in Pakistan.

You will have to take say two three liters and boil it to decrease its volume and make it thick.

The process that sugar mills follow is:

1) boil

2) Centrifuge that juice and make it stand still to separate sugar crystals.

Its a light molasses.

The above step is repeated two times more. In the end you get a thick black molasses.

I will try to separate sugar crystals at home but if I cannot, it is okay. I will boil it again and again till I make it thick and almost black.

As much water will have evaporated. Concentrated cocktail of nutrients will be in my possession :)

Thanks.

Hi, I am Michelle. Last year I lost a baby at one day and three months. It tore me up when I found out I have fibroid. If you find the molasses and vinigar to harsh with weight loss, try grapefruit and virgin olive oil, its helping me right now and stay away from ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, and egg and cheese soy products and anything that would increase your estrogen levels. Take care love

Hi Tonya...There is a great difference between taking a remedy like Dr Brownstein's proven lugol's iodine protocol against fibroids and taking another completely different protocol using kelp that delivers much smaller amounts of iodine to your body.

I mention this only because Dr Brownstein, in his Iodine book(which I've read) clearly states that even if you take 50 mgs of 5% lugol's iodine per day (8 drops), it will still take you between 3 to 6 months to achieve proper iodine levels for your body and for your thyroid. He also recommends that people should take at least 100 mgs iodine(16 drops) a day if they have fibroids or cysts. And there is just no way that store bought kelp can deliver that per diem dosage.

And no way will just taking kelp deliver dosages anywhere near what Dr Brownstein recommends for iodine and fibroids. I bought some kelp off the internet some years ago. I thought it was a good European brand. When I looked at the label I saw that one pill of this kelp extract delivered only 150 micrograms of iodine to the body. The point I'm making here is that everything is standardized and regulated now by the drugs companies -- even alternative nutrients. So if you're taking only micrograms of iodine from the heavily regulated kelp extract then I suspect that this will have very little effect on your fibroid problem -- because the dose is way too small. You will really need to take much larger milligram dosages of iodine (as recommended by Dr Brownstein) for any significant curative effect on your fibroid and endometrial problem.

You said Lugol's iodine - do you think any kind of iodine will work? I have been taking brown seaweed extract and just added fish oil. Hope next month I will be better.

Use Shepherds Purse root to stop heavy menstrual bleeding..do some research on it and also where you can find it in your area..I recently found it at my local Asian market.. also Cramp Bark you can find it at Merchants of the world store online..good luck and be well!

Thanks Mama, I will look for the chickweed tea and try it too.

Thank you, I will try the turmeric and see how it goes.

Another option for uterine fibroids is turmeric. Turmeric is used for any illnesses related to blood and is especially good for women's reproductive problems. This is what they say of it in Chinese medicine. To increase absorption and improve the taste, you can boil 1 teaspoon turmeric in milk.

Herb that can be used to stop excessive bleeding is called Shepherd's Purse.

Going vegetarian might also be helpful as it would cut on the hormones. High fiber diet (lots of whole grains, vegetables, fruits and legumes) is also important because it binds sweeps harmful substances and hormones out of the body.

Try going off ACV and taking the BSM only and see how you feel. My wife is always taking 1 teaspoon to 1 Tablespoon of BSM in a cup of hot tea and she has never mentioned being bloated.

For iron deficiency, do not underestimate the power of simple raw greens, such as arugula, which are powerhouses of iron.

The recipe for turmeric milk if you are interested:

Combine 1 cup milk and 1 cup water in a pot. Add 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon ginger, pinch-1 teaspoon cinnamon, pinch-1 teaspoon black pepper (all powdered) and 5 cardamom pods if available. Boil until the water evaporates. Now the milk is saturated with turmeric.

Dear Ozy,

I am sorry that the vinegar and blackstrap didn't work for you!

I have read about chickweed tea shrinking fibroids. You would want to drink a couple of cups of strong chickweed tea daily for a couple of months (unless it didn't agree with you for some reason.) If you want to try it, you would want to buy it by the pound from Mountain Rose Herbs or someplace like that.

To make the tea (really, a strong infusion.) 3 Tablespoons of chickweed in a mason jar. Add 2 cups boiling water. Cover. Let sit 4 hours. Strain. Drink two cups a day. It isn't really delicious. It tastes like spinach water, I will be honest. When I use chickweed I also use a generous amount of peppermint.

Please do read through Earth Clinic's fibroid remedies again as some other remedy may resonate with you.

Let us know how it goes.
