Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Katja, I read her book Cure for All Diseases years ago and back then I though t it was extreme. I have done her parasite cleanse and the liver cleanse too. I also followed her protocol when I had my amalgams removed. We don't use chemical cleaners etc.. and I've eaten mostly (except when I'm away and am forced to eat non organic veggies- I don't eat egg, meat, poultry or dairy when I'm out unless it's grass fed etc..) organic food since I was 10 years old (I'm 37 now) but I grew up in a cancer cluster and this is always in the back of my mind (one reason why I've been very careful about what I eat for years now). I've been eating NT for over 8 years now but I'm always fine tuning (cutting out grains for various periods, cutting out raw honey , dairy etc..) I'm frustrated that I have this but I guess it just means I have to keep fine tuning. Elainie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 oops, forgot to say I've never used a microwave in my life LOL!When we used to move alot the first thing we would do is replace the built in microwave so common in modern kitchens these days. I didn't grow up with one either but my parents bought one a few years ago and they both had/have cancer now (not the only cause of their cancer but it doesn't help).

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Katja, thanks, I'll check out that site. When we built this house we used Livos on the floors (no urethane) but did use latex paint. I also made a new yeats resolution to only buy organic clothing and have pretty much lived up to that. We should get together some time soon (when weather gets nicer) Elainie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Christie, My husband thinks she's nuts too. The whole parasite thing as a cause for all diseases is a bit too much for him . I do thinks some of her ideas are sound and others too alien. I guess it takes a trip down to Mexico to find out. I don't think the average person would be able to implicate her program without going down to her clinic. Elainie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 elaine - it sounds totally frustrating! and it sounds like you've been doing everything right! one thing we've done lately is invest soundly in AFM SafeCoat, which you can find at www.healthyhome.com - it's non-toxic paint that has been used in cancer centers for 20 years. they have a primer that will seal in the latex outgassing, they have stains and " urethanes " , they even have driveway sealer, all non-toxic and odor free! we're also very careful about clothing and furniture too - it's all either organic, oeko-tex, or second-hand, cause they treat fabric with formaldehyde and schtuff too! cancer runs rampant in my family and though i'm making tons of life changes over the last few years, ya know. i'm 30. i don't know if it will be enough...hopefully it will for amber though! -katja At 11:11 AM 3/4/2004, you wrote: >Katja, >I read her book Cure for All Diseases years ago and back then I though t it >was extreme.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Deb, yes they said it was a fibroid but how can they know for sure using ultrasound only? I'm leaning towards xenoestrogens as a possible cause. I'm giving it some time before I get it checked out because if it did grow during pregnancy, it will be shrinking since I had my baby 2 months ago.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Whoa Lynn, I bet that was possibly a contributing factor. Well at least you're free of the fibroid. Was it large? Elainie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If mine had of been malignant they would have done a hysterectomy. But's that's very rare. I'm leaning towards xenoestrogens as a possible cause. I'm giving it > some time before I get it checked out because if it did grow during pregnancy, > it will be shrinking since I had my baby 2 months ago. ---> Before I started teaching I worked in a research lab with very volitale chemicals. I remember my professor telling us to not pipette by mouth as it would mess up our hormones. Naive, young,dumb me thought he couldn't be serious and we all did. I wouldn't be surprised now if my fibroid could have been traced back to that. Then add more this and that xenoestrogens and whaala...something you don't want happens. You might do some searching but I believe they often do shrink after pregnancy. They shrink at menopause. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Oh yeah...the size of a big orange and growing! I was also losing tons of blood....like on the way to work turn around a go home amounts. I never regreted that surgery at all. Plus I had 6 weeks to lay around and read to my heart's content. But....as I said I think you're very wise to treat this seriously even if it's not right now. I believe it's an indicator of something off and you've got me reconsidering my lax ways! There also an new article by Ricki on the WPF site. She talks about using vitex and CLO to work with her fibroid. It's short and maybe under women's issues? Let me know if you don't find it.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 They can't know for sure, of course. My point was really to consider both possibilities. If you're not getting any symptoms, I'd carry on as you are. Maybe just think about any possible sources of xeno estrogens to beware of. But if you have got some symptoms, wouldn't hurt to try the vitex and CLO and see what diff it makes. Then again, so close to having a baby, your hormones are probably still all over the place, so best to wait a bit. Well, I've made that clear as mud, haven't I? :-) deb > Deb, > yes they said it was a fibroid but how can they know for sure using > ultrasound only?

I remember reading it but I'll have to read it again now that I'm taking this seriously. I'm glad the surgery worked well, I'm terrified of the thought of surgery.

Plus I'm convinced all the soy sent it over the top. Probably helped me get this thyroid problem also. (easy target - soy the culprit of all disease LOL) I recall someone telling me a few years ago they treated a fairly large fibroid with a Chinese herbal drink a local herb shop made for her. She said it took it daily as a tea for about 6 months. Of course I have no idea what else was going on including if her age made the estrogen levels drop naturally. But I'm sure you've examined that part already really carefully. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then got pregnant and at 15 weeks was diagnosed with this fobroid because the pain continued and I was worried. In TCM mine is from damp stagnantion and blood deficiency which I'm prone to anyways. Acupuncture alone doesn't help but the herbs combined with acupuncture help. I was in better shape blood and chi wise this pregnancy than I was in previous ones.

I felt something in my uterus and it was a cold type dull ache. Then when I got pregnant my uterus was expanding and to top it off, my placenta grew around it which in the end did cause a placental abruption which was scary at the time but I managed to stay calm with the help of my midwife and my son was born healthy at home. Lynn, did you eat a lot of cold raw food along with the soy? You were using soy supplements too right? Elainie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then got pregnant and at 15 weeks was diagnosed with this fobroid ----> I wonder how/if a raw food cleanse changed the hormones in your body enough to allow you to get pregnant and a fibroid to grow. My doctor told me there really shouldn't be any pain from a fibroid unless it's so big it's pushing on something. I felt it though. My uterus would get a bit cramping feeling all month long sometimes enough to wake me. That makes me wonder if the diet I was on also did more harm than good. I've attributed it's rapid growth to soy. I really can't see how a raw diet would make one produce more estrogen but who knows??? Maybe it has to do with the type estrogen produced on it. Watch it and see what's it's up to in 3-4 months after your hormones have re adjusted from pregnancy. Hopefully it will be shrinking. Then keep on eye on it as you get closer to menopause. BTW...as far as I know I've got nothing new growing down. I would think there would be signs of something in the past 6 years if it's not diet related. They removed 1 big one but also a bunch of tiny ones. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not fermented ..it was a powder I mixed in fruit juice or water. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
