Better But With Side Effects

After learning of my having a small ovarian cyst (first one, I'm 45yrs old), I found a remedy to help shrink it. Apple cider vinegar and unsulphered black strap molassas 1 T each in hot water as a tea twice a day. I've been at it for at least 1 month. Since then the dull ache has gone. I feel great but the hot flashes/night sweats I've had over the past 8 months to a year have increased and now no period for the last 2 months. Has anyone ever found acv/molassas tea to cause a cessation of menstration ? Perhaps it's just my body doing it's thing regardless of the tea :) I go back to my doctor in a few weeks and will follow up on the cyst, but am curious if you think there could be a connection ?! ?! ? Thanks

Hi Julie,

Well, I am so glad your cyst pain is improved, but very sorry that the menopause symptoms have increased!

I have used ACV and BSM for years and have never had it to cause me to skip cycles. For me, it only seemed to improve my cycles. (I am 46, for the record.) But, everyone is different, so I couldn't promise you that ACV and BSM are the cause.

Black Cohosh might be helpful to your increased menopause symptoms. It is good for hot flashes and night sweats.

Let us know how it goes with the Dr. appointment and if you find something to help your hot flashes. I hope you feel better soon.

Please look up iodine deficiency and ovarian cysts: http://www.newswithviews.com/Howenstine/james37.htm

I have cyst also and it was very painful. But I did notice once I started taking Apple Cider Vinegar the pain subtle also I missed my cycle for 3 months. But I haven't been on ACV for about 3 weeks. I'm thinking its all related. Now the flow has come back with vengeance. I got to head back to the store and get my cider to see if this really works again.

Worked for me. I found out I was pregnant and had a large cyst on my ovary. Went to ER and they said this happens sometimes because the ovary is producing hormones to support the pregnancy. I went home and for a week took a tables poon molasses and chased with juice and acv. After a week I saw the obstetrician and did an ultrasound he was baffled because he couldn't find the cyst. Because I cured it with Blackstrap Molasses and acv.

Green tea can bring back your period. Take it at night after dinner everyday. In the morning continue to take apple cider and blackstrap molasses daily...Good luck....!!!
