Hi: thank you for your quick response. I did not take the steroids. Did take the antibiotics which did help as my whole body felt inflamed. I used Ichthamol ointment as well to draw out the infection on my breast. I will certainly look up pine needle tea that is a great idea. Do you just go pick it yourself or is it some particular type of pine tree?Replied by Mary (Saskatchewan, Canada) on 08/20/2013
I am so glad someone posted on this. I mentioned earlier that I had a problem with the baking soda alkalyzing and the borax protocol with my breasts. They became very very itchy inside. So itchy that they hurt and I could not help but scratch. I broke out with some type of little welts and got a huge boil. I did not even know what a boil was. To make it even scarier both of my nipples were leaking a clear fluid. Not from the nipple but from the little glands around. Very frightening experience. I did go to emergency for antibiotics as Ialso got the welts on my body and they were very itchy and inflamed. The doc gave me prednisone even though she had no idea what was wrong and told me so.
I know this does not address your hormonal disruption issue but wanted you to know that I had also experienced somehing unexpected.
For myself, I wondered if the protocos were overburdening my bodys detoxification organs. I am working on my liver now. Please if anyone has any ideas I would like to hear them. Thanks

I am willing to experiment on most any thing but I do my best first hand to do my foot work, where I read on the box of Borax do not ingest/take internally. It may be possible that you were detoxing but not good to take anti-biotics or steroids you might be defeating your purpose, & the combo of the two can worsen your system. I use pine needle tea it's great for just about every thing. There are many web sites telling how to fix this tea, I just steam the pine needles for half hour or less then cool, set in fridge. It tastes great. Good luck.Replied by Brooke (Florida) on 08/20/2013
I have been taking Apple Cider Vinegar daily and have also had extremely sore breasts and nipple if it wasn't for me being sexually inactive recently I would be sure I was pregnant. It must affect hormone levels because I also got my period about 10 days sooner than normal (i always have very long cycles usually 35-40 days between periods).Replied by Tai (Hagensborg, BC) on 09/06/2012
I have been experiencing breast pain from taking ACV as well, does anyone have any idea what causes this?Replied by Kryshk (Hudson Valley, New York) on 01/04/2013
I am also. The Apple Cider Vinegar is causing breast/ chest pain, abdominal bloating. I am assuming it is gas from too much acid. I was not adding the baking soda. Would like to know if adding the baking soda would help this.Replied by Becky (London) on 09/11/2016
Yes, my breasts are really sore but I have no hot flushes so I am happy!
