Guest guest Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Is she still eating soy and doing NT? That one is fairly clear. A few people have mentioned that dairy gives them worse breast problems even raw fermented dairy. I also have fibrocystic breasts and haven't seen any change with NT (I'm on year 4 of it). But lots of other things have changed for the better. I've also heard success with upping cod liver and vit A foods like organ meat have helped women. It's a hormone precursor. Although again not so much for me. I've made the most headway with hormonal problems by adding bio-identical hormones. Wish it wasn't so but I sure do feel better with my estrogen levels brought back up. My breasts pain went up at first but now is greatly reduced as I've gotten the hormones balanced. I'm following the protocol in Sex, Lies and Menopause.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 When I worked for the OB/GYN, he always advised cutting out caffeine (chocolate and tea/coffee especially), and nuts because they seemed to make this worse. Also, increasing Vit E seemed to help. Rebekah Fibrocystic breasts I have a friend who has started NT over the past few months and she has asked for any thoughts about diet and fibrocystic breast disease. My thoughts were no soy!! Other than that does any one have any thoughts/experiences that she might find helpful?

Dairy is not good for anything hormone related for me - the pain is reduced when I cut dairy out of my diet. For several months I didn't have any pain at all, my diet was good and free from wheat and grains and low in dairy, and eating lots of stocks and kraut. I was also taking Vit C tablets, vit B complex and pancreatin once per day and Primal Defense for some of the time. However, I then started eating some oats, rye, dairy etc and dropped the supplements, and now even when I cut those out again I still get the pain. That makes me think that the supplements were doing me some good, although I'm not sure which ones. the Vit B certainly gives me more energy. But I'm not keen on taking the supplements long term, esp the commercial vits C and B. Not much help I'm afraid! I will keep experimenting and report back Jo ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Messenger - all new features - even more fun! http://uk.messenger.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 sorry to be so late in adding my 2 cents on this subject, but I want to suggest that you check out this article from Dr. of the Tahoma Clinic in Renton, WA: http://www.tahoma-clinic.com/iodide.shtml He discusses the many(!) uses of " SSKI " (or " Saturated Solution Potassium Iodide " ), among them, treating fibrocystic breasts. He also has a medical brief for sale that describes (I think) a more detailed treatment regime. I know I've read about his protocol somewhere, but I can't remember if it was from a handout in his office or from his newsletter. Here's a related piece: http://www.thecompounder.com/diseasebreastfibrocystic.html He cautions that you should carefully monitor your thyroid function when using iodine. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 While we are on the subject of fibrocystic breasts, I have read that getting an MRI is much more reliable than getting a mamogram and getting better results. There is now evidence that it is not a disease, read on: What is Fibrocystic Breast Disease? In the past, many physicians have referred to fibrocystic breasts, or lumpy breasts, as " fibrocystic breast disease. " This term is misleading because fibrocystic breast condition is not a disease at all. Rather, it is a common, non-cancerous breast condition that affects over half of all women at some point in their lives. Today, most physicians refer to this condition as " fibrocystic breast condition " or " fibrocystic breast change. " Other terms that may be used to describe the condition include " cystic disease, " " chronic cystic mastitis, " or " mammary dysplasia. " In fact, since fibrocystic breasts are so common among women during their reproductive years, some physicians do not even like to label the symptoms as a " condition. " They believe that these women simply have lumpier and more tender breasts than others. http://imaginis.com/breasthealth/fibrocystic_breasts.asp#what_is Blessings, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
