It has resulted in what I believe to be fat necrosis which has progress to a sometimes bloody discharge. I don't think it is cancer, but rather stems from that surgery.
Does anyone on this forum have advice as to how this could be treated? Would apple cider vinegar help dissolve the calcium? I refuse to have another mammogram, as this would just add to the problem.

MSM AND Vitamin C to Cure Breast Pain
With summer so close some of us will not be able to use baking soda without swelling. Baking soda water and molasses has gotten me through many seemly incurables. However, in my older age my legs and feet swells due to circulatory situations. About three weeks ago I started getting some breast pain. I started doing some research and learned about MSM water (16 tablespoons of organic MSM in a gallon of distilled or spring water), and vitamin C which is taken a half hour later. Several tablespoons of this water is drank about five times each day. It works is all I want to say.
MSM does not bother me, I use to take the tablets until I ran out. if I had only known it was doing more then helping my knees I would have not have stopped taking them. I simply went to search and put in MSM and cancer, (staying ahead of the game) and searched a few of the listings. I found at least two articles that said this will cure it. It certainly took the pain.
Loving You EC,

Apple Cider Vinegar for Breast Calcifications Coco (Chattanooga, Tn) on 11/26/2016
I've taken apple cider vinegar (organic with the "mother") for about 10 years now for a variety of reasons. I too had breast calcifications and they are now gone for several years now (not sure exactly how many).
I take 1 tablespoon in about 10 to 12 ounces of water in the mornings, about 5 mornings per week, first thing on an empty stomach. After a few months, I added about 1/2 teaspoon of baking sofa to the mixture to help with constipation. I also take about 1/2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with a pinch of baking soda in 6 ounces of water at bedtime for indigestion (about 5 out of 7 nights).
I do take some other supplements, but I believe the breast calcifications disappeared with the apple cider regime.
Apple Cider Vinegar for Breast Calcifications Angeles B. (Bronx, Ny) on 06/19/2016
This is belated THANK YOU to Earth Clinic and those who share on the site. In Dec 2014, I posted that the doctor found calcification in my breasts after a regular mammogram. I read here that Apple Cider Vinegar destroys calcification and went about taking it as advised on this site. Well, I went for a second mammogram in early Jan 2015 and NO calcification was found!! Praise God and thank you Earth Clinic!
Magnesium for Sore and Painful Breasts Sarah (Tulsa, Ok) on 12/13/2015
I sometimes get very painful and sore breasts during the month which worsen with caffeine. What I have found that can get rid of most of the pain and sensitivity within 24 hours is magnesium - either powdered or a daily epsom salts baths where I soak for at least 15 minutes in a full tub of hot water with half a bag of epsom salts. Taking powdered mag (calm) is so much easier than soaking in a bath, but my stomach can only take so much magnesium. It causes a lot of gas and loose stools. I have tried magnesium oil too, but prefer soaking in epsom salts.
I stopped magnesium for about a month so I could try other remedies, but none of them worked. I tried blackstrap molasses, vitamin e capsules, iodine supplement and some herbs for balancing hormones.
I hope this helps someone!

Re: Castor Oil for Breast Cysts Paula (New Zealand) on 05/09/2014
My daughter had breast lumps which developed when she started contraception they were worrying her so I got her to lie in bed with a smearing of castor oil over the area and a oil soaked woollen rag over it then plastic wrap over it then we placed a covered hot water bottle over the area, she fell asleep and within about an hour she called me to her room and the area had large red areas following the veins around the sides of her breast abit like welts but not raised. I believe it was the lumps dissolving. The lumps went away completely after doing this once. I got this information to do this from the Edgar Cayce site. Hope this helps someone.

If you want to enlarge your breasts try massaging them nightly. Do it any way you choose but try to make it a real workout for them. Do this 10-20 minutes at the end of the day and they should be tired and a bit sore by nightime. You will increase your bosom.

Breast Sensitivity - Questions for TimH Anna (Europe) on 05/04/2013
Hi Timh, Thanks for the info. I actually saw an article which says that carotenoid supplements may be harmful so I am thinking of sticking to including them in my diet naturally, but I cannot seem to find the link to post. I don't know if you buy your supplements from iherb but if you ever visit iherb.com I am wondering would you take a look at these two products for me and give me your opinion. I had never heard of red palm oil before. I am wondering if you have an opinion on these products in relation to my complaint.

You also mention that seaweeds and algaes have loads of carotenoids, would this include spirulina. I am wondering if this is a chelator as I do have mercury fillings and would be sceptical about taking it if so.
Thanks again.
Help Requested for Breast Sensitivity Anna (Europe) on 04/25/2013
Hi, I am in my twenties and my endocrinologist has told me that I have a breast sensitivity issue. I am wondering if this is the same as an inflammation problem. Does anybody know what causes this. I think my hormones are o.k. And my periods are regular so I don't want to mess with this. Are there any foods that I can add/eliminate or an lifestyle issues that I can address to resolve this.
Serrapeptase for Fibroid Cysts in Breasts Annie1017 (Berryville, Ar) on 09/24/2012
I am a woman who has suffered with several different ailments over the last few years. Recently while searching for something to help the horrible pain I was having from Fibroid Cysts in my breasts, I thought maybe I had an iodine deficency. I went to a small herbacy and was recommended Serrapeptase Enzyme. I was leary of the product since I am on a very tight budget and didn't want to take something that might not work. The lady gave me some literature and my husband encouraged me to try it. I have been taking two pills mornings and two more at night and in less than a month I feel amazing! I no longer have painful breasts and the lumps are gone. I have suffered with endometriosis and cysts on my ovaries as well and have not had any of their symptoms either. In addition to all of these things I have had horrible sciatica. The anti-inflammatory properties of this "miracle" has reduced all the swelling in my lower back and am now able to "pop" my back and in conjunction with stretching have been pain free for over a week. I am totally sold on this supplement and encourage anyone with any type of swelling or cysts to try it.
Grandmama-d (Nashville, Tn) on 04/18/2012
I found a lump in my underarm pit near my breast that had not been there just a few days prior. I immediately started taking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a small amount of water (probably 10 tablespoons of water or less), three times a day. Within a week the lump had disappeared completely. The lump felt like the classic lump I was taught to feel for in my self breast exam and it was as hard as a rock. Although the lump was gone I continued the apple cider vinegar routine. Hope this helps.
Sea Buckthorn Greatly Reduced Breast Pain Ellen (Apex, Nc, Us) on 02/23/2012
I've dealt with breast pain during my cycle pretty much most of my adult life, but the pain escalated during my mid-30's and has continued to get worse (I'm 39). I've tried absolutely everything that's been mentioned for fibrocystic breasts including the following: iodine, magnesium, calcium, zinc, b vitamins, fish oil (made them worse), Flax oil/seed, vitamin A, Vitamin E, Raw Apple Cider Vinegar, Molasses... Ad nauseum. Also, several years ago I switched all of my household cleaning & laundry as well as bath/beauty products to all natural/non-toxic. None of these things made a significant reduction in pain.
Recently I decided to try Sea Buckthorn (internally) to improve my dry skin, and lo and behold, my breast pain has significantly decreased since going on this regimen. They had gotten so bad before the sea buckthorn that I couldn't even stand to wear a bra. I still have some pain, but this is my third cycle on the sea buckthorn and I cannot believe the difference. I can't tell you how happy I am to have discovered this and wanted to share it in case there is anyone else who has had the same problem and like me has gotten no results from other methods. The Sea Buckthorn is expensive, but I can't live without it now. Anyone who has intense breast pain 15 - 20 days/month as I have will understand. Ellen
Herbs for Breast Enhancement Mary (Lancaste, Ohio) on 12/13/2011
I have heard a lot about herbal breast enhancement and was wondering if anyone knows anything about it or which herbs to take and if it really works. I have heard a lot on both sides some say it work and others say it don't. Anyone have any information on this topic please respond.
