Ganglion cyst on outer part of ankle

Posted By Pg (Toronto, Ontario) on 04/08/2012

Hello there, I had an Ultrasound done on my ankle a couple months ago and the doc let me know that there is a ganglion cyst in the outer part of my ankle. It's not painful when I walk, but everytime I try to jump (because I play basketball), I can feel something like a little tweak in my ankle and I lose almost all strength from that joint/area.

The doctor has let me know that I have 2 options, needle or surgery to have it removed. I do not want to do the needle and there is a high chance of reoccurence.

I am looking for some natural remedies to help get rid of this cyst. If anybody has any suggestions on what they think might help with my situation, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, everyone! PG

Deat Pg in Toronto, food grade diatomaceous earth (DE), also known as shell flour, will effectively help remove your ganglion cyst. DE is high in silica and has some clay in it, which is known to absorb and remove toxins from the body. DEis inexpensive and can be ordered from several companies online. You may find DE at a feed store; just make sure it is labeled ____, which is approved by the FDA (don't know what the equivalent agency in Canada is) as food grade. I believe you'll be surprised how fast your cyst improves and diminishes.

Hello Gardener, thank you very much for your suggestion. Prior to your post, I had never heard of Diatomaceous Earth before. I have done some research and read many testimonials about how well this products works.

I just picked up some Perma-Guard (food grade DE) from Toronto at Grassroots.

I just had my first tablespoon mixed with water a few minutes ago. I will keep eating this DE and I will reply back to this thread and let you know how well it works for this cyst!

Thanks again for your quick response! :D PG
