Preface

This book came into being due to the lack of options that most women

are given for the treatment of their fibroids. Women need to be given

choices when it comes to their health.

This is important information that is not always readily available or

offered as an alternative to surgery. Women with fibroids need to be

given all of their options so that they can make an educated decision

about how they want to proceed with the removal of their uterine

fibroids.

Chapter 1: Introduction To Fibroids

If you have fibroids, then you know how extremely painful and

frustrating they can be. Not to mention that they can sometimes cause

infertility.

If you are a woman between the ages of 18 and 50, you probably have

experienced fibroids at sometime in your life. If not, then you probably

will.

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous (benign) tumors that develop in your

womb (uterus). Uterine fibroids are very common. Nearly every 1 in 5

women will have fibroids during their childbearing years. Which is the

time after you start menstruating for the first time and before you reach

menopause. Almost half of all women will have fibroids by the time

they turn 50.

Fibroids are very rare for women under the age of 20. And fibroids are

more common in African-Americans than Caucasians. Yet the cause is

still unknown.

Fibroid growth has been linked to the hormone estrogen. Therefore, as

long as you are menstruating, your fibroids will more than likely

continue growing. The growth of a fibroid is usually a very slow

process.

Sometimes they are so tiny that they can only be seen with a

microscope. However, then can grow to become very large in size and

can weigh several pounds. Women with very large fibroids can look as

if they are at various stages of pregnancy depending on how large their

fibroid(s) is and more often than not multiple fibroids varying in size are

present.


Chapter 2: The Most Common Symptoms Of Fibroids

Fibroids are located in several areas of the uterus:

• Myometrial - in the muscle wall of the uterus

• Submucosal - just under the surface of the uterine lining

• Subserosal - just under the outside covering of the uterus

• Pendunculated - occurring on a long stalk on the outside of the

uterus or inside the cavity of the uterus

The most common symptoms of uterine fibroids are:

• Bleeding between periods

• Heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), sometimes with the

passage of blood clots

• Menstrual periods that may last longer than normal

• Need to urinate more often

• Pelvic cramping or pain with periods

• Sensation of fullness or pressure in lower abdomen

• Pain during intercourse

In many cases uterine fibroids do not cause any symptoms at all and do

not require treatment. However, if they grow large enough, they can

cause pressure on your other organs, abnormal bleeding and infertility.

So in these cases surgery may be required.

I assume that since you are here seeking out information for relief from

your fibroids that you or someone you love has been diagnosed with

uterine fibroids. Am I right?


OK. The first thing to do is not to panic. As we discussed earlier,

uterine fibroids are noncancerous tumors that develop in your uterus.

And whether or not they are giving you problems, I am sure that you

want to get rid of them - pronto!

There are many things you can do to get rid of your fibroids. And that

can include anything from herbs to medications to surgery. But today

we are going to talk about food. Specifically what foods can help you

get rid of your fibroids and which foods you should avoid like the

plague.

People will talk to you about staying away from refined sugar, highly

processed foods, fried foods etc. That is all good advice but I thought

you would like a little more detail than that. So I have made a list of

foods that you should try to incorporate into your daily diet to help get

rid of your fibroids naturally.

Since estrogen stimulates fibroid growth, it makes sense to include

foods that reduce estrogen in your diet. Here are some great food

choices that you can try before choosing conventional medication and /

or surgery.

BTW, I won't specifically address some of the potential pitfalls of

fibroids, but I highly recommend the Stop Fibroids System, which goes

into very specific details such as the top seven foods you must avoid,

herbs that will help shrink your fibroids naturally, the top mistakes that

women make that actually make their fibroids grow and so much more.

The book can be downloaded immediately and is not only easy to read

and understand, but it explains and solves many seen and unforeseen

issues that are affecting your fibroids and your quality of life. You can

read more about it by Clicking Here.


Chapter 3: Foods That Will Shrink Your Fibroids

High Fiber Foods, Raw Fruits And Vegetables, Fish, Nuts And

Seeds

Foods that contain a high fiber content can help reduce the size of your

fibroids and eliminate your symptoms. Fiber helps the liver process and

remove leftover estrogen from your body. According to Dr. Ronald

Hoffman of New York, a high fiber diet will decrease blood estrogen

levels. Fiber may bind to the hormone and draw it out of the body. You

should try to get at least seven servings of these per day. Here are

some foods that help shrink fibroids:


• Beans

• Nuts

• Whole grains

• Flaxseed

• Wheat

• Buckwheat

• Oatmeal

• Brown rice

• Oat bran

• Pineapples

• Citrus fruits

• Cabbage

• Brussels sprouts

• Salmon

• Mackerel

• Tuna

• Legumes

• Pinto beans

• Kidney beans

• Black beans

• Split peas

• Almonds

• Walnuts

• Sunflower seeds


• Brazil nuts

• Broccoli sprouts

• Kale

• Garlic

• Onions

• Blue green algae

• Barley

• Wheatgrass

• Spinach

• Spirulina

• Alfalfa

• Chard

• Arugula

• Organic leafy greens

• Lettuce

• Celery

• Okra

• Cabbage

• Cucumber

• Kiwi

• Avocado

• Plum

• Lemons

• Oranges


• Limes

• Carrots

• Artichokes

• Asparagus

• Cauliflower

• Beets

• Turmeric

• Oregano

• Green tea

• Mung beans

• Pumpkin seeds

• Hemp seeds

• Sesame seeds

• Chia seeds

• Siberian cedar nuts

• Bell peppers

• Berries

• Melons

• Hemp oil

• Avocado oil

• Olive oil

• Flax seed oil

• Soybean oil

• Canola oil


Now go through this list and write down all of the things on this list that

you like to eat. There are probably many of them that you have never

tried. So branch out and try some new things.

After you have determined which items you like, all you have to do is to

incorporate them into your new daily eating habits.

Chapter 4: Did You Know That . . .

Did You Know That . . .

1. Your cleaning products could be causing your fibroids to grow.

Anything that touches your skin gets absorbed into your bloodstream

and can introduce toxins into your body. You should switch to all

natural cleaning products to avoid exposing yourself to additional

toxins. If you do not want to switch your cleaning products to natural,

just be sure to wear rubber gloves whenever you are cleaning.

2. Your cosmetics could also be causing your fibroids to grow. The

same concept as above. Anything that touches your skin gets

absorbed into your bloodstream introducing toxins into your body. So it

is very important that you switch to natural cosmetics. Think about all

of the toxins you have been putting into your body everyday by using

cosmetics made of manmade chemicals.

3. Ok, we will not beat this subject into the ground; however, you

should always think about toxins in anything you are doing such as

gardening etc. - always use gloves to keep those toxins out of your

body!


Chapter 5: Facts About Fibroids

• About 75% of all women have fibroids

• Around 20-40% of fibroids create symptoms like excessive

bleeding or pain

• More than six hundred thousand hysterectomies are performed in

the United States alone each year, about 90% of them are for benign

conditions

• Fibroids account for about 45% of all hysterectomies

• Women that use hormone replacement therapy are at a greater

risk for ongoing symptoms of fibroids compared to those women who

don't use hormone replacement therapy

• Fibroids are more common in women who began menstruating at

younger ages

• Black women are two to three times more likely than white

women to be diagnosed with fibroids

• Women who have never had any children develop fibroids more

than women who have had children


• Women who have had four to five children are at the lowest risk

of being diagnosed with fibroids. These women are 70 to 80 percent

less likely to develop fibroids than those who have no children

• Obese and overweight women generally have more problems

with fibroids

• Fibroids sometimes run in families. Some studies have shown

that women are twice as likely to develop fibroids if someone else in

their family has also gotten them

• Women who have gone through menopause are less likely to be

diagnosed with fibroids


Chapter 6: Diet Recommendations For Women With

Fibroids

Here are some recipes and diet recommendations for women with

fibroids:

and products, soft drinks, canned juices, fried sausages and cow's milk

cleansing and antioxidant properties and is one of the best natural

medicines.

0BChapter 1 – Introduction 15BWelcome

Dear Uterine fibroids Sufferer,

In the next 12 months, more than one million women in the United States

alone will be diagnosed with uterine fibroids. Many of those women will be left

with more questions than answers to their condition once this diagnosis is

made. That will leave them looking beyond their doctor’s office for answers –

and help. If you have picked up this book to find out more about your

condition and what you can do about it then, Kudos. It is about time women

became more assertive in their health care decisions.

Within this book you will learn more about fibroids than you ever thought

possible; plus you will be exposed to a variety of treatment methods including

dozens of noninvasive treatments that will not only relieve your suffering, but

cure your fibroids altogether. But first, it is important to understand what

uterine fibroids are and how you got them.

Regardless of your age, whether you have severe symptoms and enlarged

uterine fibroids or just a mild case, and regardless of how your condition

manifests itself, the methods contained within the Fibroids Miracle™ System

are the only practical answer. These methods are the only way that you will

completely rid yourself of all types of uterine fibroids and in all levels of

severity, as many other women have.

Like you I suffered from severe fibroids symptoms and was diagnosed with

large uterine fibroids , and just like you I tried without success just about all


9Page

the conventional medicines and over-the-counter products that deal mostly

with the symptoms - and often aggravate the root cause. And just like you,

something kept me searching, believing that there must be a permanent cure

for uterine fibroids, not just temporary relief.

It’s imperative that you understand that your uterine fibroids didn’t just

happen. There was a cause, and if you follow the right path eliminating the

root cause, you can be rid of these conditions forever. In fact, there is a

natural, safe, cheap and highly effective path to reverse uterine fibroids and

their related symptoms.

This book contains that path.

The information you will discover in this book is the result of 12 years of

searching, trial-and-error and experimentation. It’s the result of trying just

about everything, keeping what worked and discarding what didn’t.

The “uterine fibroids puzzle” was pieced together from the information I

learned from countless naturopaths, authors and healers, and from working

with and interviewing many alternative practitioners and nutritionists.

I assure you that you made the right decision when you ordered the Fibroids

Miracle™ package. Regardless of what Western medicine followers may have

told you, uterine fibroids can be cured – naturally and permanently.

In this book I’m going to share the Fibroids Miracle™ System, the only system

based on 12 years of research that will help you cure your uterine fibroids for

good! I’ll explain exactly what uterine fibroids are, the symptoms of uterine

fibroids , primary and secondary factors that cause uterine fibroids and the

conventional vs. natural holistic approach to curing uterine fibroids . Most

importantly, I will go over the exact steps you should take to cure your uterine

fibroids permanently, not just alleviate the symptoms, and how to prevent their

recurrence.


10Page

By educating yourself about uterine fibroids, you open the door to a lifetime of

improved well being and better health without the pain, annoyance, frustration

and costs associated with living with and treating your condition.

My only aim in writing this book was to help you reach your goal – to eliminate

your uterine fibroids permanently and clear up all your confusion about the

steps you are required to take to achieve that goal. If this book helps you

succeed in eliminating your uterine fibroids, then this book is a success with or

without the accolades.

of drugs, creams, over-the-counter products and futile costs is stopped. Now

is the time for you to exercise your natural right to open the door to a uterine

fibroid-free life.

16BTen Facts about the Fibroids Miracle™ System

Before we get into the heart of the program, let me share with you the ten

reasons as to why this system might just be the most powerful uterine fibroids

system ever developed.

155BFibroids Miracle™ provides you with a tested step-by-step plan

to success.

It’s a fact that no other uterine fibroids system will provide you with the exact

steps you need to follow in order to be free from uterine fibroids. Most uterine

fibroids programs will merely give you vague guidelines of what needs to be

done. With the Fibroids Miracle™ System, you get all the specifics. You are

told exactly what to do, exactly how to do it and exactly when to do it and why.

156BFibroids Miracle™ was written by a genuine uterine fibroids

sufferer.

This program was not written by some science geek who never had uterine

fibroids in her life. Instead, it was written with the blood and sweat of a real

person who suffered from this condition for years, and it’s the result of

thousands of dollars spent on trial and error and more than 14 years of

extensive research.

157BFibroids Miracle™ is based on real world results.

This system is based on real world results, not textbooks or classroom

lectures. Thousands of uterine fibroids sufferers, including the author herself,

have already cured themselves completely using the same principles

contained in this program.


12Page

158BFibroids Miracle™ is truthful and unbiased.

I’ve devoted the last 14 years of my life to helping uterine fibroids sufferers

win the war against deceptive advertising, false claims and other marketing

scams in the Uterine fibroids treatment industry. The Fibroids Miracle™

program is straightforward, providing you with the facts on how to eliminate

uterine fibroids with honesty and integrity. I have never been involved with any

health or supplement magazine, and I am not affiliated with any of them.

159BFibroids Miracle™ is not just about alleviating the symptoms; it’s

about your health and inner balance.

Reversing uterine fibroids and their related symptoms permanently can never

be achieved as long as your body is in a state of imbalance. Uterine fibroids

are not a problem with your uterus or reproduction system, no matter what

your doctor tells you. It’s about taking responsibility for your body and about

restoring it to a state of balance where no disease can exist, not only uterine

fibroids.

160BFibroids Miracle™ is not just a special nutrition program.

It merges nutrition with a comprehensive cleansing program. It shows you

how to rebuild your organs of elimination and supplies dietary,

supplementation, mental and lifestyle plans aimed at restoring your body back

to balance. In short, it’s the perfect holistic uterine fibroids solution.

161BFibroids Miracle™ doesn’t confuse alleviating uterine fibroids

symptoms with an uterine fibroids cure.

Relieving the pain and other symptoms caused by your uterine fibroids and

fixing the root cause of your uterine fibroids are completely different things.

Yes, treating the symptoms of fibroids is obligatory if you have uterine fibroids


13Page

simply because it can be a painful and debilitating condition. Fibroids

Miracle™ handles all the symptoms of uterine fibroids using a unique relief

treatment that works for almost all types of uterine fibroids. However, in order

to permanently cure uterine fibroids, you must neutralize the “uterine fibroids

environment” (more on that later). The Fibroids Miracle™ System ensures that

this uterine fibroids environment ceases to exist in your system.

162BFibroids Miracle™ is not a temporary quick fix.

It offers a permanent solution and one that you can maintain as a lifestyle.

The whole concept of curing uterine fibroids by masking the uterine fibroids

symptoms is flawed. When you say that you’re going to treat your uterine

fibroids , the implication is that it’s temporary and that at some point (when

your uterine fibroids symptoms are temporarily gone and you feel some relief)

you will continue with your bad nutritional and destructive lifestyle habits. The

truth is that the only way you’ll ever get rid of your uterine fibroids

permanently is to adopt new habits and keep them. It may feel a bit

uncomfortable in the beginning, but it will soon become entrenched into your

daily routine and become easy, natural and highly rewarding.

16Page

in the way she adapts and reacts to the treatments. Results may vary among

different people with different types and levels of uterine fibroids severity and

sensitivity to certain foods. Keep in mind that it takes time for the body to heal

itself and some level of maintenance to keep things under control.

Persistence and belief are vital if you wish to achieve success in eliminating

your Uterine fibroids and their related symptoms . You must understand that

following each step alone will only yield short-term results. The combination of

all the steps in the Fibroids Miracle™ System is the only key to lasting uterine

fibroids freedom.

165BThis book is divided into 5 chapters and 4 appendices.

Chapter 2 is the general section of the book aimed at building a foundation of

knowledge regarding uterine fibroids and the holistic approach. This is where I

reveal the true nature of Uterine fibroids and their related symptoms , the true

causes of uterine fibroids , types of uterine fibroids , common symptoms,

complications of fibroids, the pros and cons of conventional uterine fibroids

medications and the crucial differences between conventional and holistic

medicine.

Chapter 3 discusses the most effective ways to diagnose uterine fibroids and

their related symptoms.

Chapter 4 introduces The Quick Results Mini-Program. It is designed

especially for busy folks that don’t have much time on their hands but wish to

extremely easy to follow.

Chapter 5 – The complete step-by-step holistic solution to uterine fibroids –

the Fibroids Miracle™ System. This chapter reveals the general blueprint of

the program as well as the specifics of each step of the Fibroids Miracle™

System outlined in a chronological manner with all the nitty-gritty details of


17Page

why, when and how to successfully accomplish each individual step. It also

outlines the exact principles you need to follow to prevent the reoccurrence of

uterine fibroids and maintain a fibroids-free environment.

Appendix 1 outlines several complimentary treatments for Uterine fibroids and

their related symptoms .

Appendix 2 offers an example of a 2-day detox diet – a short preliminary

internal cleansing protocol.

Appendix 3 provides vital information on how to conduct a moderate detox

program based on the Ayurveda.

Appendix 4 shows exactly how to maintain liver function – an important part of

the uterine fibroids basic and maintenance plans.

18BGet Rid Of Uterine fibroids Holistically

You really can get rid of Uterine fibroids and their related symptoms –

naturally and holistically.

How?

• By learning what a “Uterine fibroids and their related symptoms

environment” is

• By learning exactly what conditions are needed for an uterine

fibroids environment to exist and how to neutralize these

conditions so your uterine fibroids will vanish forever

• By learning the connection between uterine fibroids and inner

imbalance and how to quickly restore the body back to balance

• By understanding that uterine fibroids are primarily a Western

problem and that there is in fact a tight connection between

Western diet, Western lifestyle and uterine fibroids in spite of what

modern medicine and the media want you to believe. Research

has clearly shown that non-Western societies where people don’t

eat Western food also don’t have uterine fibroids .

1BChapter 2 – All About Uterine fibroids

10BSection One – The Truth About Uterine

fibroids

19BWhat Are Uterine fibroids ?

Almost every woman has at least one small uterine fibroid in her uterus; yet

most never even know they are there. If fibroids are indeed so common, why

are they so feared? Mostly because they are misunderstood.

First, let’s look at what uterine fibroids are: they are benign tumors (or smooth

muscle masses) that grow inside the walls of the uterus. Fibroids are made of

the exact same type of muscle tissue that makes up the uterus, except that

fibroid muscle is hard, not soft. Keep in mind that while they are located in or

on the uterus, fibroids are not actually part of the uterus, but is its own

separate grouping of tissue that grows independently of other uterine tissue.

The most common type of tumor found in the body, no one knows for sure

why fibroids so commonly grow in the uterus. One theory is the fact that the

uterus is an organ whose purpose is to grow a fetus, making it the perfect

place for any mass of cells to reproduce.

Fibroids can be so small they cannot even be felt during an internal exam. Or

they can be so large that they seem to make the patient’s belly protrude


22Page

unnaturally. The largest uterine fibroid ever recorded weighed over 140

pounds. The average is about the size of a golf ball.

Now, let’s look at what uterine fibroids are not: they are not cancerous tumors

and they cannot turn into cancer, even if they grow very large. Fibroids do not

spread. However, many women with fibroid tumors tend to have more than

one.

20BWhat Role Does the Uterus Play in Fibroids?

Although fibroids can grow in any of the body’s muscle tissues, they tend to

like the uterus the most. Since this pear shaped organ is made in a way that

can stretch and grow to accommodate a thriving fetus, it makes a great place

for fibroids to grow undetected. Add to that the thick endometrial wall and a

good blood supply from a woman’s menses, not to mention the hormone

fluctuations that affect this area of the body and you can imagine why fibroids

settle here.

To better understand fibroids, it is important to fully understand the role of the

uterus, both within the woman’s body, and in the formation and growth of

these tumors. A small upside-down pear-shaped organ, the uterus is

generally fairly small (only about three inches long and weighing less than half

a pound), but has the ability to grow during pregnancy. Of course, this

environment also allows fibroids to grow quite easily.


23Page

The endometrial is the inner wall (or lining) of the uterus, and is engulfed by

two layers of muscle called the myometrium and the serosa. It is within these

layers of uterine lining that fibroids first appear. Fibroids begin with one cell

that can quickly multiple, creating hard potato-like mass, which feels very

distinctive during an internal exam against the softness of the normal uterine

tissue.


24Page

21BThe Real Cause of Uterine fibroids and their related symptoms

The most fundamental truth regarding the vast majority of chronic health

conditions, including Uterine fibroids and their related symptoms , is that there

is no such thing as a single cause.

As with other health conditions, uterine fibroids is a condition that is triggered

by several primary and secondary factors and the relationship between them.

There are factors and co-factors that contribute to uterine fibroids and to the

development of uterine fibroids , and there are causative agents that

aggravate an already compromised Your condition.

There are also life situations, external factors and mental factors that directly

or indirectly form the environment in which the internal balance is disrupted.

These then manifest themselves as uterine fibroids and their related

symptoms.

Because every health problem is multidimensional, the solution must be

multidimensional, in order to eradicate the problem from the root. This is one

of the reasons why science and conventional medicine fail in treating most

western afflictions. Instead of treating the body as a unified whole, they tackle

the manifestation of the condition or the infected parts.

Some of us are more genetically prone to disease than others, but that is not

to say that if we have some tendency to develop a condition or a weakness of

some sort, there is nothing we can do. As I will later illustrate, we can partly

change our genetic structure and we can also solve other parts of the health

condition puzzle. We can make a difference, reverse our diseases and regain

our health and energy by making affirmative decisions to change our

lifestyles, dietary choices and thoughts that lead to poor health, toxic buildup,

and weak immune systems along with several other factors, which promote


25Page

the majority of all common illnesses. Then we can gain control over our health

and inner terrain.

The primary factors that lead to Uterine fibroids and their related symptoms

are:

• Genetic predisposition

• Poor dietary choices

• Weakened immune system

• Accumulation of toxins in the digestive tract (including

environmental toxins)

• Insulin resistance and obesity

These five factors create the prefect internal environment for uterine fibroids ,

among various other symptoms.

Having hormonal imbalance (such as during menstruation), taking antibiotics,

prescription medications and steroids, stress and lack of sleep can also

contribute to the formation of uterine fibroids .

Now, let’s go into more detail about each of the primary and secondary factors

that contribute to uterine fibroids.

166BGenetic Predisposition

Most research has shown that the genetic pattern of women with uterine

fibroids is somewhat different compared to women who don't have uterine

fibroids. It seems that the genes of women who have uterine fibroids make

them predisposed to abnormal metabolism and the dysfunctions of cell

activity. Researchers have found that many fibroid tumors contain alterations

in the genes that code for uterine muscle cells, which may make a woman

more susceptible to suffering with fibroids.


26Page

However, the claim that women with uterine fibroids have a genetic tendency

that cannot be altered is nothing but a myth. While genes are a set of rules or

principles that determine your physical characteristics, along with the

tendency to develop or prevent diseases, your genes, similar to a blueprint,

can be altered.

Genetic research has shown that your genetic characteristics can be modified

and influenced by numerous choices and factors. From the moment of birth

until you die, your environment, inside and outside your body, can greatly

impact your genetic disposition.

By choosing to take control over your inner and outer environment (by

changing your diet, for example) you can strongly influence your genetic

tendencies and therefore help your body overcome disease.

167BPoor Dietary Choices

A diet high in refined carbohydrates, processed and toxic foods and low in

fresh fruit and vegetables affects biochemical processes within the cells,

contributes to hormonal imbalance, worsens digestion and interferes with the

natural toxic elimination process.

Lack of good nutrition is another factor. Our bodies need to obtain about 40

essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients to enable the cells in our bodies to

fully function and remain healthy. These nutrients mostly come from our diet

since the body cannot produce them by itself. When we eat more processed

foods and fewer foods with high nutritional value, the immune system declines

and becomes less effective since nutrition is highly essential for healthy

immune functioning. With a weakened defense system, we make it easier for

Uterine fibroids and their related symptoms to develop.

Over-acidity in the digestive system, usually due to a diet high in acidic foods,

is another major factor. A state of over-acidity causes the blood to become


27Page

sludgy and thick, creating the ideal environment for candida growth (more on

the acid-alkaline balance later).

The consumption of refined or processed foods spikes your blood sugar to

high levels. Insulin levels increase in order to control the sudden increase in

blood sugar. Too much insulin eventually makes the cells "insulin resistant.”

(more on the insulin- uterine fibroids connection later)

A healthy diet that consists of certain micronutrients (biotin, calcium,

chromium, magnesium, selenium) can help reduce insulin resistance. The

typical western diet is deficient in many of these micronutrients.

A family of substances called excitotoxins (MSG being one of them), along

with numerous other chemicals added to your food to "improve" the taste,

texture or appearance, can hinder and damage cell function and nerve cells.

This in turn can hinder your body’s ability to keep your hormones balanced.

(Nerve cells in the hypothalamus are also responsible for the stimulation or

suppression of hormone secretion).

Low doses of MSG injected into mice caused abnormally high levels of LH

(luteinizing hormone). Elevated levels of LH is one of the primary reproductive

problems that women with fibroids have.

168BWeakened Immune System Or Autoimmune Disorders

When the immune system is weakened due to several factors such as

nutritional deficiency, high toxic buildup (heavy metals, chemicals, bacteria,

viruses, and parasites), stress, lack of sleep or the use of pharmaceutical

drugs such as antibiotics and steroids, the body becomes vulnerable to

virtually every type of sickness and disease. In this state the body cannot

defend itself and cannot control the process of toxic elimination and hormonal

balancing as it could if the immune system was at its peak performance.


28Page

Autoimmune disease is another issue. This is an inflammatory condition

where your immune system mistakenly considers organs or cells as "foreign"

to your body and attacks them.

Hormone disorders and substances and microorganisms in your food and

physical environment can all influence your immune system.

A recent study in which 108 women with uterine fibroids participated found

that 40.7% had immune antibodies for autoimmunity versus only 14.8% for

women without any of these conditions.

169BCongested Toxins In The Bowels, Liver, Blood And Lymph And

Exposure to Environmental Toxins

Our constant exposure to thousands of toxins on a daily basis through the

food that we eat, the air that we breathe, the drugs that we take and our poor

quality of our water supply all lead to toxic buildup in the blood, lymph, kidneys

and colon. This leads to short-term and long-term health conditions. Among

them are Uterine fibroids and their related symptoms.

You can take thousands of herbs, supplements and over-the-counter

preparations to relieve your fibroids symptoms and eliminate uterine fibroids ,

but without cleansing your internal system and your digestive tract in

particular, it will be like painting a rusty car, and you will never get rid of it.

The liver in particular is essential to maintaining blood sugar levels, recovering

your hormonal balance, improving your fertility and performing other functions

such as removing excess insulin from the blood stream. When excess insulin,

for example, is not removed, it remains high in the blood and may contribute

to insulin resistance. These functions are all responsible for keeping your

uterine fibroids symptoms under control and for eradicating and preventing the

formation of uterine fibroids .


29Page

The optimal uterine fibroids diet and the cleaning protocols outlined in this

book were designed to ease the fat and toxic load on your liver, to provide

nutrients that the liver needs to do its work and to re-build liver and bile

function.

Once you have cleansed your internal system, your detoxification process and

your immune system will have vastly improved, and your liver’s ability to

release toxins, balance hormones and remove excess insulin from the blood

will be enhanced. You will feel more energetic and healthier, and your body

will be able to fight uterine fibroids symptoms and prevent uterine fibroids

more effectively.

Environmental toxins are other issues of great concern. These can disrupt

your hormonal activity by interfering with the production and metabolism of

hormones and by mimicking hormones. Environmental toxins can also lower

progesterone levels, damage your fertility, the ovulation process and the

health of your unborn child.

Chronic exposure to xenohormones (petro-chemically derived pesticides,

emulsifiers found in soap and cosmetics, plastics, regular meat), and man-

made chemicals found in our food and environment, can cause hormone

dysfunction, ovary damage (damaged follicles which cause reduced

production of progesterone) and infertility problems. Exposure to solvents, the

most common type of xenohormones that are found in glue, dry cleaning

clothes, nail polish and paint can lead to an array of health problems

including: fatigue, anxiety, depression, brain swelling, fetus damage and

oxygen deprivation in the brain.

While there is no escape from chemical pollution, including xenohormones,

the uterine fibroids diet, the solvents exposure guidelines and detoxification

protocols outlined in the book will provide you with a diet that is as free as

possible from environmental chemicals that will disrupt your hormones and

damage your health. They will also remove chemical substances that are

already in your body and strengthen your toxin elimination organs.


30Page

170BInsulin Resistance

Studies show that at least 30% of women with uterine fibroids have insulin

resistance, Insulin resistance can manifest as acne, difficulty losing weight,

high blood pressure, elevated blood glucose and carbohydrate cravings.

When the cells in your body are less responsive to the insulin hormone, you

have insulin resistance, which damages the functionality of a myriad of insulin-

dependent processes in your body (such as regulating the liver's production of

blood sugar and fat). When you are insulin resistant, your pancreas gland

produces extra insulin to counter the impaired related functions which in turn

causes "hyperinsulinemia," - an abnormally high level of insulin in the blood.

This leads to a vicious cycle where the excess insulin causes the cells to

become even more insulin resistant.

As your pancreas becomes exhausted from producing large higher amounts

of insulin, it starts producing less and less insulin, thus causing blood sugar

levels to go out of control.

With regard to uterine fibroids and hormonal imbalance, chronically high levels

of insulin stimulate androgen production, causing excessive production of

testosterone and other male hormones by reducing serum sex-hormone

binding globulin (SHBG), that worsen uterine fibroids symptoms.

While there is a genetic predisposition to develop insulin resistance, poor

nutrition, dietary habits and too much body fat can greatly contribute to insulin

resistance and thus worsen uterine fibroids symptoms and hinder the body’s

ability to eliminate uterine fibroids .


31Page

22BHow Do Your Hormones and Menstrual Cycle Affect Fibroid Growth?

While most doctors will admit that they do not know exactly what causes

fibroids, they do know this: a woman’s hormones can – and do –affect the rate

of growth of fibroids and may even be an underlying cause of their formation

in the first place.

Holistic practitioners often refer to the hormone web when explaining to

patients how their hormones may be affecting their fibroids. Unless every

aspect a woman’s hormonal system is working at peak capacity, problems

(such as fibroid tumors) may occur. Hormones that are blocked from getting to

the right cells, will settle somewhere else – maybe even the uterus – and can

induce those cells to begin reproducing unnaturally. That, they say, may be

one cause of fibroids.

Traditional medical practitioners, agree with some aspects of that theory. They

do admit that hormones play a part in the formation and growth of fibroids, but

blame instead an increase in estrogen and progesterone in the female body. It

has been cited by researchers that fibroid tumors grow more quickly when

high levels of these two hormones are found in the patient’s body. That may

explain why the two most common times to experience fibroid growth is during


32Page

pregnancy and pre-menopause when estrogen and progesterone levels are at

their highest levels during a woman’s lifetime. It also would explain why a

woman who has suffered with large painful fibroids for years will suddenly see

a decrease in their size after menopause, when hormone levels spiral

downward.

Considering this link between hormone levels and fibroids, it is no wonder that

a woman’s menstrual cycle can affect the growth of these uterine tumors.

Many fibroid sufferers experience increased pain and other symptoms at

certain times of their menstrual cycles as hormones levels rise and increased

blood flow makes its way to the ovaries and uterus, which can help to feed a

growing tumor.

Although estrogen is often blamed for fibroids, it is important to understand

that during a woman’s menstrual cycle there are really three different types of

estrogen-like hormones that are released into the woman’s system, which can

in turn affect fibroid growth. They include:

1. Estradiol (E2): Reaching peak production during a woman’s

reproductive years, estrodial is the most common form of estrogen

found in the female body.

2. Estrone: Most abundant during a woman’s menopausal years, estrone

is made when testosterone molecules are converted into it through fat

cells found throughout the body. Too much estrone in the body ahs

been linked to breast cancer and gallbladder disease in older women.


33Page

3. Estriol: The weakest of the estrogens, estriol is made in higher

quantities during pregnancy and has been linked in some studies to a

lowered risk of breast cancer in women who have higher levels of it in

their systems as they reach menopause.

23BCan Your Emotions Affect Fibroid Growth?

The human mind can have a huge impact on the human body. The fact is that

our emotions can help us remain healthy and strong; but they can also set us

up for increased health problems – including fibroids.

The Limbic Brain System is a complicated system in the body which not only

oversees our emotions, but helps to control our hormones. When we are

scared or upset, the Limbic system tells other parts of the body, including the

pituitary gland, to release different hormones and chemicals to help us stay

safe. This affect is often referred to as the Fight or Flight response. While

designed to protect us, if we initiate the Fight or Flight Response too often, the

hormones that are earmarked for one purpose are redirected to another. This

can leave the parts of the body in need of those chemicals at a loss. And this

can cause problems. A female reproductive system that is starved from the

right amount of certain hormones at the right time may develop menstruation

problems, or it could signal uterine muscle cells to begin reproducing which

could create a fibroid tumor.


34Page

24BWhat Is the Cancer/Fibroid Connection?

Uterine fibroids are not cancerous; cannot become cancerous and do not

cause cancer, say most experts. That said, some doctors believe that any

type of fast growing abnormal cell growth (which of course is what causes a

fibroid to appear in the first place) is a precursor to cancer and may want to

take drastic measures to stop further growth, including recommending a

hysterectomy for those experiencing large fibroids.

Of course cancer can grow anywhere in the body, and it is important to be

absolutely certain that what your doctor thinks is a benign fibroid is just that

and nothing more serious, women need to be especially careful when making

the decision to have their uterus and ovaries removed to prevent a condition

that there is no evidence will appear because of fibroid growth.

Several in-depth studies in recent years have suggested that less than one

percent of all women who underwent a total hysterectomy due to the

possibility of cancer due to fibroids actually had cancer of the uterus. These

findings suggest that the thousands of hysterectomies being performed for

fibroids may be unnecessary; especially since there are other tests such as

MRI and biopsies which could tell the doctor whether a mass that appears to

be a fibroid is indeed a benign tumor or a cancerous one.

In the event a mass is found to be cancerous, it generally falls within one of

these four types of female reproductive system cancers:


35Page

1. Cervical Cancer: Typically a very slow-growing cancer, cervical cancer

is most often detected in its pre-cancerous stage called cervical

dysplasia during a routine pap smear. Since dysplasia cells can take as

long as twenty years to become full-blown cancer, it is generally caught

in more than enough time to treat it successfully.

2. Endometrial Carcinoma: The least deadly of the female cancers,

endometrial carcinoma accounts for nearly 13 percent of cancers

among women. The moist common sign of this type of cancer is mid-

cycle bleeding, especially in women over the age of 35. Those at

greatest risk of endometrial cancer include women who are: obese;

never had children; experience irregular periods; have higher than

normal levels of estrogen in their bodies; early onset of menstruation;

high blood pressure and diabetes.

3. Ovarian Cancer: A very deadly cancer, ovarian cancer is most insidious

for two reasons: there really is no way to routinely test for it; and since

the ovaries are buried deep within the abdominal cavity, changes in

them can be hard to detect early. Although there is a blood test that

can be performed to help detect changes that could indicate cancer,

fibroids can also cause C-125 levels to rise, making it a very unreliable

way to test to ovarian cancer. Although hysterectomies are often

performed to prevent ovarian cancer in high-risk women (and to help

treat it), even that may not be enough since single cancer cells often

leach form the ovaries, settling in the pelvis and bone where it can

continue to grow at a later date.


36Page

4. Vaginal Cancer: A very rare cancer among women, those in the

highest risk group include women who were exposed to the synthetic

estrogen DES.

25BWho’s At Risk for Fibroids?

Since the absolute cause of fibroids remains unknown it can be difficult to say

which women are at the highest risk for them. Still, statistics show that these

risk groups seem to get fibroids at a higher rate than others:

• Women in their 50’s. As a matter of fact, 40% of women will get fibroids

by their 40th birthday; compared to 70-80% of pre-menopausal women

in their 50’s.

• Women who started their periods at an earlier age.

• African-American Women – they are twice as likely as white women to

develop fibroids.

• Women who have never been pregnant. Women who have had at least

four children are 70-80% less likely to get fibroids.

• Women who are overweight.

• Women who have at least one female relative with fibroids.

• Women with higher than normal levels of estrogen and/or progesterone

in their systems (this may include post-menopausal women who take

hormone supplements).


37Page

• Women who eat a lot of red meat. Some studies show that women who

eat a lot of red meat and very few vegetables are at a greater risk of

developing fibroid tumors in their uterus.

171BLifestyle Factors That Contribute To Uterine fibroids And

Dysfunctional Follicles

Stress invoked by either lack of sleep, emotional issues, anxiety or pressure in

your daily routine has been scientifically proven to contribute to uterine fibroid

formation as stress depresses your immune system, causes anovulatory

cycles and elevates blood sugar levels.

Taking birth control pills can shut down normal ovary function. A diet full of

xenobiotics can hinder metabolism and prescription drugs can also negatively

affect the menstrual cycle by impairing the functioning of the hypothalamus.


38Page

26BTypes of Uterine fibroids

There are several different types of fibroids that can grow in a woman’s

uterus. Some cause more problems than others, depending on whether they

are found on or in the uterus, as well as their overall size. Before you can

begin to decide what type of treatment options to discuss with your doctor

regarding your fibroids, you must first learn what type you suffer from. Here

are the most common fibroid tumors most women have to deal with:

88BThe Subserous Fibroid

Subserous fibroids are the most common type of fibroid women

experience. They typically grow on the outer wall of the uterus and often

become bigger (and more painful) just prior to menstrual bleeding as the

blood supply top the fibroid increase. Because of the location and size of

this type of fibroid, they often make the uterus grow – sometimes as big as

a watermelon. This can cause other health issues, which we will discuss in

more detail later.

89BThe Submusocal Fibroid

Found deep within the uterus, this type of fibroid can be very difficult to treat

with anything but surgery. They cause severe bleeding (often to the point of

hemorrhage), and excruciating pain as the uterus actually tries to expel or

“deliver” the fibroid from its cavity.


39Page

90BThe Intramural Fibroid

Growing on the actual uterine wall, this type of fibroid can cause symptoms

similar to the other two described, depending on the direction it which it is

growing.

91BThe Pendunculated Fibroid

One of the scariest of all fibroid tumors, the pendunculated fibroid is often

confused for an ovarian tumor during an ultrasound, which may cause the

patient to undergo unnecessary surgery. Often without symptoms, this type of

fibroid is most often felt during an internal exam.

In addition to these common uterine fibroids, are these other fibroid tumors

that are found within a woman’s reproductive system:

92BThe Cervical Fibroid

Not very common, cervical fibroids grow on the lower segment or entryway to

the uterus known as the cervix.


40Page

93BThe Broad Ligament Fibroid

Much harder to treat, this type of fibroid grows on the ligaments supporting the

uterus.

94BThe Intracavity Fibroid

This type of fibroid most often protrudes into the endometrial cavity which can

inhibit pregnancy.


41Page

27BSigns And Symptoms

While one or two small fibroids will not cause a woman any problems at all,

having several of them – or larger ones –can cause a variety of painful

symptoms. Among the most common symptoms women with fibroids

experience are:

95BBleeding

One of the most common symptoms of fibroids is increased menstrual flow

and bleeding between periods. This is caused by several factors:

1. A blockage of normal menstrual flow by the fibroids, causing blood to

back up and seem heavier when finally released

2. Uterine congestion which causes a change in blood flow in and out of

the uterus

3. An increase in blood vessels which creates a greater amount of blood

being transferred through the uterus

In the event your menstrual cycle changes and you begin to experience longer

periods (longer than 5-7 days) an increase in flow or just seem to be bleeding

too much, then be sure to consult your doctor right away to check for fibroids.


42Page

96BPain

Pain too is a big problem among fibroid sufferers. At least one in every three

women with fibroids reports some amount of pain associated with their

condition. Of course how much pain their fibroids cause depends a great deal

on where they are located and how large they are, not to mention the

woman’s own pain tolerance level. Fibroids found inside the uterus often

cause severe cramping as the uterus tries to squeeze out this foreign body. If

large enough, fibroids outside of the uterus can actually put pressure on other

organs in the body, thus causing pain and discomfort. In the event a fibroid

dies because it can not get enough blood, the accompanying chemical

reaction within the body to these dead cells can also cause excruciating pain,

as well as flulike symptoms which include fever and nausea.

97BPressure

As fibroid tumors grow, so does your uterus. This can cause abdominal

pressure that many women describe as being akin to feeling pregnant. Of

course the larger the fibroid, the more pressure it will expel on surrounding

organs.


43Page

98BBloating/Fullness

Bigger fibroid tumors can actually begin to become apparent as your body

begins to change to accommodate it. For some women this may result in

abdominal bloating like you may have during your menstrual cycle, or it can

result in stomach protrusion similar to the early months of pregnancy. This

type of bloating can also give you a full feeling in the abdomen as the fibroid

takes up more internal room. While these two symptoms are not dangerous,

they can be quite uncomfortable.

99BPainful Intercourse

Even though fibroids are not found in the vagina, they can put pressure on the

vaginal area, as well as the bladder and rectum, which can cause pain before,

during and after intercourse.

100BUrinary Problems

While not the most physically painful problems associated with uterine

fibroids, urinary problems can be the most stressful. The pressure of large

fibroids on the bladder almost always causes an increase in urinary urgency,

and often results in some form of incontinence, which can be very distressing

to most women. However, this is not the worst urinary issues that can arise

from fibroids. If a fibroid compresses the ureters (those tiny tubes connecting


44Page

the bladder and kidneys), against the bones of the pelvis, urine flow can be

inhibited which will eventually result in severe kidney damage.

101BInfertility/Pregnancy Problems

It isn’t all that easy to get pregnant. As a matter of fact, many experts agree

that a healthy woman only has about a 20% chance of conceiving every

month in the best of circumstances. Now, throw in a few fibroid tumors which

can block a sperm’s way to that all-important egg; block the egg’s passage to

the uterus for implantation or cause so much inflammation in the uterus that

the fertilized egg is unable to implant safely at all. Now, let’s say that you do

manage to get pregnant despite of fibroids. Now you have some new

problems. Fibroids can also endanger a pregnancy (or at the very least make

it more uncomfortable) by:

1. Growing larger. Due to an increase in estrogen and progesterone

during pregnancy, some women experience an increase in fibroid size,

which can become very painful and uncomfortable as the pregnancy

progresses.

2. Causing Pre-Term Labor. Women with fibroids tend to deliver babies

prior to 38 weeks gestation 4-20% more often than women without

fibroids.

3. Causing More Birth Defects. Although it is rare, women with fibroids do

have a slightly higher risk of delivering a stillborn child or a baby with

birth defects than women without these uterine tumors.


45Page

4. By Requiring C-Section Delivery More Often. Since fibroids can alter a

baby’s position for delivery, women with them have a 20-25% higher

chance of needing a cesarean section than those without uterine

tumors.

102BDepression

While physical symptoms of fibroids are usually what sends a woman to her

doctor for help, sufferers should not underestimate the emotional toll fibroids

(and their symptoms) can have on your emotional well-being. The pain of

fibroids can exhaust a woman physically. Add to that the isolation of being

unable to work or socialize due to intense pain and bleeding during certain

times of the month, plus all of the other physical, mental and emotional

stressors associated with fibroids, and depression is a real concern. One of

the best ways many sufferers have found to deal with depression and anxiety

from fibroid ailments is to find a support group that can help you better

understand and cope with your condition.

11BSection Two – Holistic Medicine Vs.

Conventional Medicine In The Treatment Of

Uterine fibroids

28BNatural Medicine vs. Conventional Medicine (The Crucial Differences)

172BConventional Medicine

While natural medicine perceives the human body as a complete holistic

system unified with nature, conventional medicine treats the body as a group

of separate physical organs.

Conventional medicine has failed to acknowledge the sad truth that man,

along with all living creatures, will never be compatible with artificial

chemicals, no matter how identical these chemicals may look, feel and smell

compared to the natural varieties (e.g., an orange-flavored beverage vs. a

freshly squeezed orange).

Synthetic chemicals cannot truly or completely be absorbed by the body.

Because of their artificial form, synthetic chemicals of any kind are foreign to

the body. This is why these chemicals cannot enter your system without

creating some level of disruption.

While holistic medicine’s objective is mainly to restore the body back into a

state of inner balance, to increase optimal genetic function and to help the

body cleanse and heal itself, conventional medicine focuses its entire efforts

on “making the patient comfortable” and by calming the pain with drugs and

ointments, which function as patches to the symptoms of the disease.


47Page

29BConventional Treatments For Uterine Fibroids

The most common treatment for uterine fibroids offered by most doctors is the

prescription of birth control pills to treat the symptoms that the woman patient

complains about. Other physicians, who are more discerning and will correctly

diagnose the array of symptoms as “polycystic ovary syndrome”, may include

special hormone-regulating drugs and anti-androgen treatments in addition to

birth control pills.

To treat the insulin resistance factor among PCOS women and women with

fibroids, most physicians will also offer an approved anti-diabetic drug called

Metformin. Metformin works by reducing the production of glucose by the liver

and by increasing the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin, thus making the

insulin activity in the body more effective. This way, less insulin is required to

perform the same amount of metabolic work.

In short, Metformin helps to lower your insulin levels by assisting your body to

transport glucose using less insulin. Metformin may also help lowering

cholesterol, and improving energy levels.

However, the benefits of Metformin come with a price tag: a myriad of side

effects are associated with the intake of this drug. These include but are not

limited to: general malaise, fatigue, gastrointestinal disturbances, vomiting and

frequent bowel movements, or diarrhea, vitamin B12 malabsorption,

pregnancy complications, liver or kidney problems, hair loss and anemia.

As you can see the problem with conventional treatment is that the

medications used for treating fibroids have undesirable side effects and

uncertain long-term health consequences.


48Page

350BWatchful Waiting

The most common treatment offered for women who are in their childbearing

years is to be re-examined in one to three months while waiting and watching

to see if the uterine fibroid has changed in size or if some symptoms start to

manifest. Note that this treatment will be offered only if you have no

symptoms initially.

351BBirth Control Pills

Birth control pills will typically be offered to women who frequently develop

cysts or if their cysts have failed to dissolve within the three months of

watchful waiting. The purpose of the pills is to prevent ovulation. Not only do

birth control pills fail to treat the root cause of uterine fibroids but the intake of

birth control pills can often worsen your uterine fibroid condition and carries an

array of side effects.

30BWhat Drug Treatment Options Are Available for Treating Fibroids?

While some women may shy away from taking ongoing drugs to help control

their fibroids; others would rather try medications for treatment than a more

invasive option like surgery. Regardless of where you stand on the drug

therapy issue, it is important to know what pharmaceutical options are

available to help you make the best treatment choices for yourself.

The most important thing to remember when considering using drugs to treat

your fibroid symptoms is that not every woman responds to medication and

some drugs can actually elicit new symptoms. Still, a large number of women


49Page

find the relief they seek using a variety of pain relievers, hormones and oral

contraceptives.

Now, let’s take a closer look at each option to see if any may be of help to

you:

352BNon Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) Some of the best drugs used to relieve both the pain of fibroids and its heavy

bleeding are anti-inflammatories that do not contain steroids. Some, like

Tylenol, Motrin or Advil, can be purchased over-the-counter and used as

needed. Other, stronger medications like Ponstel or Naproxen, may work

better, but can only be obtained by a prescription.

These anti-inflammatories work by reducing the prostaglandin in the blood

which can cause the uterus to contract, thus causing cramps abdominal pain.

For best results they should be used throughout the entire menses, even if

your pain subsides.

Some of the side effects of using both over-the-counter and prescription

NSAIDS include gastrointestinal issues, high blood pressure, and kidney

issues.


50Page

353BOral Contraceptives Oral contraceptives can be used to reduce bleeding by 30-50% in most

women with fibroids. How? They work by introducing more female hormones

into the endometrial lining of the uterus which controls a woman’s menstrual

flow.

Some studies also indicate that the hormones found in oral contraceptives

help tor educe the size of fibroids; although there are other studies which

refute this claim. Still, many women report good results with this method of

treatment.

354BProgestins Using a synthetic form of progesterone such as Provera or Magace seem to

help fibroid patients better control excessive bleeding caused by the tumors.

Although not labeled specifically for use in treating fibroids, progestins do

seem to offer some relief for many patients.

355BTranaxamic Acid A drug that actually keeps blood clots from dissolving, Tranaxmic Acid has

been studied for use in reducing fibroid bleeding and seems to offer some real

relief. It is not, however, commonly used among physicians and is still in the

research stages as a viable fibroid remedy.


51Page

356BIntra-Uterine Devices (IUD) Although progestin releasing IUD’s are used quite successfully to treat fibroids

in other parts of the world, doctors in the U.S. hesitate in using this effective

treatment due to problems with IUD’s in the past. The good news is that

current research shows that 90% of fibroid patients who use a progestin

releasing IUD experience a decrease in heavy bleeding, with 68% reporting a

decrease in overall symptoms. Right now Merena is the only viable IUD

option available in the United States which offers the progestin necessary to

work for decreasing fibroid bleeding.

31BWhat Medical Therapies Are Available to Fibroid Sufferers?

In addition to the drug remedies mentioned above to ease fibroid symptoms,

there are a few medical therapies that can be used to actually shrink fibroid

tumors. They mostly rely on the introduction of hormones into the system in

order to battle the fibroids where they start: your cells. Here are a few well-

known as well as experimental therapy options to talk with your doctor about

when devising your own treatment plan:

357BGonadotropins-Releasing Hormones (GnRH) Natural GnRH hormones in the ovaries help to release estrogen and

progesterone into the body in order to regulate the menstrual cycle. Artificial


52Page

GnRH blocks this natural hormone from getting where it is supposed to, so

menses stops altogether. The problem with using this type of drug therapy is

that while it does wonders to shrink fibroids (as much as 50% in just 3

months), most women report a resurgence of fibroid symptoms within a few

months of discontinuing the treatment. Used as a way to stop bleeding while

an anemic woman has a chance to rebuild her blood supply and health, GnRH

therapy is only a short term solution for most.

103BMifepristone RU-486

Known most commonly as “the abortion pill,” RU-486 is a synthetic steroid

hormone that suppresses progesterone and glucocorticoids. Since fibroid

tumors depend on progesterone to grow, it makes sense that taking a drug

that suppresses progesterone in the body would work to shrink fibroid tissues.

Although initial findings look promising with this treatment, it is not regularly

given as a fibroid remedy due to many unknown factors associated with it.

358BRaloxifen Used to prevent and treat bone loss in post-menopausal women. This

selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERMs), has shown to be a promising

new fibroid therapy in many women who use it. IN one study, 83% of the


53Page

women taking Raloxifen for bone loss also reported a decrease of up to 50%

in their fibroids. Unfortunately, the study conducted on post-menopausal

women. No one to date has begun studying its affects on fibroid tumors in pre-

menopausal women.

359BAndrogen Therapy Danazol is one type of androgen that is used to reduce estrogen levels in the

body and stop abnormally heavy bleeding, it is not however effective in

shrinking fibroids.

Gestrinone, another steroid has been sued successfully in Europe to actually

shrink the size of fibroids by about 40% in users. Although quit effective in

treating fibroids, Gestrinone does have some masculine side effects including

a deeper voice, hair growth, weight gain and fluid retention. That may be one

reason why this therapy option is not available in the United States.

360BInterferon Not specifically studied for use as a fibroid reducer, those using Interferon for

other purposes have, nonetheless, reported a big decrease in fibroid size


54Page

while on the drug. Not only expensive, but also harboring some nasty side

effects, Interferon will not be readily available as a fibroid remedy until its

effects can be studied more closely.

32BWhat Surgical Options Are Available for Treating Fibroids?

Surgery has always been the most popular option among physicians for

treating uterine fibroids. Unfortunately, the most common procedure has, until

just recently, been a hysterectomy to get rid of fibroids and their painful

symptoms. Thankfully, there are a whole host of new surgical options

available to today’s fibroid sufferer. Here are a few your doctor may

recommend:

361BMyomectomy One of the best surgical options for healing fibroids is the Myomectomy. The

reason it is preferred by most women is because it enables the doctor to

remove the fibroid without removing the uterus. This is great news for a

woman who wants to preserve her reproductive ability, but still get rid of her

fibroids once and for all. Done by making a bikini cut in the lower abdomen,

the surgeon is able to remove the fibroids from the uterus during this 3-4 hour

procedure. Lest you think that it is not a serious procedure, let me stress that

any surgery is risky. There can be negative side effects to a Myomectomy

including infection and a recurrence in fibroids; although both are relatively


55Page

slim. A very intricate surgery that requires a large knowledge base,

Mymoectomies should only be performed by surgeons who have been

specially trained in the procedure.

362BHysterectomy For some women a hysterectomy is the only option to both relieve their

symptoms and save their life. Uncontrolled bleeding caused why growing

fibroids can indeed become life threatening if not taken care of and when

other medical options fail, the removal of the uterus and fibroids may be the

answer. Even the American Academy of Obstetrics and Gynecology admits

that hysterectomy is the only sure-fire “cure” for fibroids, freeing the patient of

them permanently.

Performed through an incision in the abdomen (or even through the vagina), a

hysterectomy requires the actual removal of the uterus, and sometimes the

ovaries as well. Although removing the ovaries can save you from the

possibility of ovarian cancer in the future, it does come with one nasty side

effect: instant menopause. Once the ovaries are removed from the body, a

woman experienced surgically-induced menopause and all the effects of this

syndrome.

In most cases, the cervix does not need to be removed in order to treat

fibroids. This is important since women who have their cervix removed during


56Page

a hysterectomy can suffer from sexual dysfunction (including a lack of

sensation and orgasm), as well as incontinence following the procedure.

FACT: MORE THAN 500,000 HYSTERECTOMIES ARE PERFORMED

EVERY YEAR ON WOMEN TO GET RID OF FIBROIDS. NEARLY HALF OF

THOSE PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ON WOMEN UNDER THE AGE

OF 40.

A complicated surgery, hysterectomies should not be performed lightly. Death

has been reported in one in every 1000 women undergoing the procedure

(usually due to a blood clot embolism). Other side effects include infection,

sexual dysfunction, ongoing pelvic pain, weight gain, urinary issues and more.

Still, the vast majority of women who undergo the procedure to treat fibroids

that do not respond to less invasive treatments have been very happy with the

results.

363BEmbolization One of the most promising techniques being used today to treat (and dare I

say cure) fibroids, Uterine Fibroid Embolization is one of the safest of the

invasive procedures available to women that works to cut off the blood supply


57Page

to fibroids, thus shrinking their size. Since it permanently changes the course

of the blood to the fibroid, they cannot come back.

Here’s how it works: a catheter is inserted into the femoral artery via a small

incision. Using contrast dye and a special x-ray machine, the doctor is able to

clearly see the blood vessels he is maneuvering through. Next, he guides the

catheter tip to the place where the arteries branch off from the uterus. At this

point he sues the catheter to inject up to 1,500 milligrams of plastic particles

into the patient’s bloodstream. Gelatin-like sponge pellets may also be

inserted. This clogs the blood flow into the fibroid, which in essence kills it.

The result is shrinkage with an alleviation of symptoms.

Some of things that makes this procedure so successful is the fact that

fibroids need a constant blood supply to thrive and the uterus has other blood

supplies, so if the end artery is blocked it does not affect the uterus.

Although it is not as well-known as myomectomy or hysterectomy, the results

are clear: embolization works! More than 85% of the women who have

undergone the procedure report that their fibroids are gone.

Although any surgery comes with risks, Embolization seems to offer less risk

than hysterectomy. One studied reported that only 1 in 5,000 women died

from the procedure, compared to 1 in 1,000 with hysterectomies.

Researchers believe that about 1 in every 10 women experienced either pain


58Page

or nausea following the Embolization procedure; but these symptoms are

transitory and go away in a few days. About five percent of women who

undergo the procedure will experience early menopause and/or ovarian

failure, which will negatively affect their fertility.


59Page

33BThe Holistic Medicine Way

Natural medicine, or holistic medicine, yields to nature and its everlasting

laws. It is not preoccupied with diagnosis or cures simply because of the belief

that what causes a disease to exist in the human body is the body itself being

out of balance. The laws responsible for illness cannot exist in a healthy and

complete body. A good allegory to that perception is that darkness cannot

exist in the presence of light.

Holistic medicine perceives the body as a unified whole (body, mind and spirit)

and not by the sum of its organs. According to holistic medicine, everything

you absorb (attitudes, beliefs, chemicals or food) directly affects your system

as a whole in a negative or positive way.

For that reason, holistic medicine aims to avoid any intrusive approach to

healing but rather nourishes the approach of building a strong immune

system, increasing the body’s functionality and enhancing spiritual and mental

strength and stability.

Natural medicine yields to nature and believes in the individual obligation to

clear the body of any unnatural residues. A body that is cleansed of any

unnatural elements is more harmonized with nature and thus more

rejuvenated and vitalized. Unnatural elements can be anything from synthetic

unnatural foods, polluted air and water, inadequate exercise, accumulations of

toxins in your body and any extreme activity that does not yield to the laws of

nature.

A disease occurs when the body deteriorates because the body is in an

imbalanced state or experiencing disharmony due to excessive toxicity or

inadequate nutrition, or deficiency of force, a term referring to a lack of

nutritional energy or the ability of the body to handle disease and heal itself

using nutritional material. The symptoms of the disease can only mean that


60Page

something is wrong and that the body is in a state of imbalance and danger.

Most illnesses occur when the body’s cleansing organs cannot remove all the

excessive amounts of toxins that get into the cell walls, bones, hormone

receptors, tissues and even cell surfaces. In most cases, the moment toxins

enter your system, the disease begins. When symptoms occur, it is often too

late as something has already been damaged.

Proponents of natural medicine believe that by allowing the body to conduct

its process of removing internal toxins, also known as detoxification, along

with restoring it to a state of balance with the right nutrition, more than 90% of

illnesses can be healed by the body itself.

Studies have clearly shown that calorie-restricted diets tend to normalize

hormones, induce ovulation, and enhance fertility while reducing other fibroids

related symptoms.

Moreover, improvements in diet, exercise and lifestyle, combined with

methods to detoxify the body, are essential methods for eliminating and

preventing uterine fibroids formation.
