I have had irregular cycle since last year and was diagnosed with a 3.5cm ovarian cyst 8 weeks ago. Doctor says to just watch and wait as cysts usually resolve on its own.

I made dietary changes by eliminating caffeine, dairy products, refined carbs and red meat. I occasionally indulge on bread and sweets but I always go back to whole food diet. I also take 1 Tablespoon of apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon of unsulfured blackstrap molasses every morning on an empty stomach. I take multi vitamins everyday and evening primrose oil. I also do castor oil pack 2-3x a week.

In a nutshell, I aim to keep my body alkaline by choosing alkaline food and drinks. If I cheated on a day by eating meat or muffin, I compensate it by taking a cup of water baking soda or lemon juice (no sugar) to alkalize.

Today, my follow-up ultrasound showed I have no cyst, just a few follicles that are ignoreable. My period is still irregular but I hope that resolving the cyst will at least kickstart a more regular cycle. Hope this helps.

I have had 3 MRIs over the last 2 years to monitor a large fibroid (see other posts). The first scan also showed the presence of a chocolate cyst and a functional cyst. Since changing my diet to control the symptoms of the fibroid, both cysts have disappeared.

In addition to becoming a vegetarian, I regularly drink ACV (2 tbsp/day with baking soda water) and take vitex agnus castus (chasteberry) capsules (4 mg). 6 months after the first MRI, the cysts were not visible. 19 months later, the latest MRI has shown no sign of any cysts.

Hi ladies, I am 39 years young, I was tied off five years ago, after I gave birth to twins. Soon after I started having heavy 20 day periods with unbearable pains.

In February of 2011, while having my period, I fainted on my job and was taken to hospital by ambulance. After many tests and scans they discovered an ovarian cyst, and discharged me from hospital, before my next appointment I had my period and this time it was heavier than anyone can imagine. After my fiance found me on the floor unconcious, he took me to my Dr.who sent me to the emergency room where Dr.said I needed surgery. I was so worried I knew there was something else that could be done naturally, so I desperately surfed the internet, for months.

I put off my wedding and dedicated some serious time into finding a remedy other than surgery-that's when I came across this website and the apple cider vinegar remedy. Stopped eating red meat, fastfoods, chocolates, dairy products, animal fats, sugar, caffeine, sodas and breads made with white flour. I started drinking 100% juices and green tea and 180 ounces of water daily, eating lots of vegetables, fruits and boiled foods, prunes, nuts and beans.

I tried the apple cider vinegar in my water and juices twice daily, and I also douche twice daily with strong vinegar and water, and I must say it's been three weeks and I feel and look much better. My stomach is much flatter and I can now sleep on my stomach at night, no more heavy bleeding or pains.

I am so glad I came across this site. My cyst was the size of a cantaloupe I could have actually felt it in my stomach, this remedy along with praying in faith and believing God for my healing is truly working. I didn't show up for my surgery but I rescheduled an ultrasound and I will keep you ladies posted on my results. I truly believe my cyst has shrunk, and I believe in these remedies and my God.
