After I saw the MRI of my uterine fibroids, I could not believe how many there were and how big they were.
How long had I had them? What were the options for getting rid of them.
I wondered about this because having uterine fibroids is not a result of systemic or hormonal balance.
The space they took up is where other organs are supposed to be.
I had heard that if there are many of them and/or they are large, that they can put pressure on the bladder, kidneys, and colon.
That would interfere with the function of those organs.
That was a scary thought.
Of course I went to my gynecologist who put first put me on progesterone to control the excessive menstrual bleeding.
I didn`t like how they made me feel so then I started taking low dose estrogen birth control pills.
A lot of research has been done which reveals that hormonal imbalances made worse by taking synthetic hormones, causes so many physical and emotional difficulties.
It`s approach of Western medicine to target the symptoms of a disorder and not to find out what the cause is.
I chose not to take any of that stuff anymore because I could feel it making me feel worse than the initial symptoms.
It became my quest to find out what information there was beyond the scope of the mainstream approach to dealing with these fibroids and the physical problems they were causing.
Oh, the periods that would never end, feeling weak, bloated, and crampy! I just had to find out.
And I did.
In Japan a scientist had isolated an enzyme from cultured soybeans called nattokinase.
The research showed that this enzyme had fibrolynic properties.
What that means is that it is capable of breaking down the fibers and strands that these fibroids are made up of.
That`s an amazing breakthrough.
The more I delved, the more useful information I came up with.
Of course, no doctor in this country would know about this, much less support it.
There`s no money in it for physicians since they make a profit from diagnostic and surgical procedures.
The pharmaceutical companies would loose their shirts if people got wise to this way of addressing the causes of the hormonal imbalances and the problems that it causes.
If patients stopped filling prescriptions for these medicines(which only mask the symptoms and make the condition even worse), there would be such an uproar.
In India they practice Ayurveda which is the science of being in harmony with nature and it includes a highly developed practice of herbal medicine.
Many of the herbs they use are believed to contain healing properties and help people achieve health and well being.
That sounded pretty good to me.
So I looked into that.
I found an herb that they use to strengthen the endometrial lining and to help stop uterine bleeding.
This herb from the ashoka bark was amazing.
I took it for about a month (I still take it and love the results) and the next time I got my period, it was much lighter and stopped on a dime after 4 days.
It worked like a shut off valve and that was that.
I figured that certain nutrients and herbs work like an overall tonic to heal what is weak.
The nutrients and systemic enzymes that I researched work together to not only break down the fibroids and actually shrink them, but they have restorative functions as well.
The idea is to get the whole body to be highly functional in tissue repair, circulation, cell regeneration, and food absorption.
The result? Eights months after putting all this into practice, my stomach is flat, there is no cramping, and no heavy, longer than normal periods.
I can`t discern the presence of the "squatters" in my abdomen and I feel so much better.
I wish I knew about this so long ago.
