Fibroid cysts are benign cysts usually found in the uterus wall or breast tissue.

They appear to be caused by excess levels of estrogen in relation to progesterone. This does not necessarily mean you are making too much estrogen, you may be low in progesterone, or you may not be properly breaking down and eliminating the excess estrogen each month. Apart from the estrogen your body makes, there are many chemicals with estrogenic properties that you take into your body through food, and water. For instance many pesticides that people use for lawn care, or spray fruit orchards with have estrogenic properties. These chemicals end up in the air you breathe and the water you drink. Growth hormones fed to chicken and beef also mimic estrogen. Birth control pills are another source of estrogen. The excess hormones, as well as other chemicals from your environment (cleaners, hair spray, new carpet gases) back up into your blood stream. Your body sends them to the liver to be broken down and eliminated. However, if your channels of elimination are sluggish or overloaded from a poor diet, high stress, poor digestion or constipation and low water intake, then these excess hormones and toxins find there way back into body tissues. Since the breast and uterus contains a lot of hormone receptor sites they are naturally sent to these areas.

The plan to break down fibroids is one of cleansing the body and balancing hormones. I have seen many women over the years break down fibroid cysts, but at the same time I have seen many that did not. Some cysts are simply too large and are better off removed surgically, but I would try this program first, as it may significantly shrink their size. Also, if you did decide on surgery You would want to do the cleanse below first to clean your system of as many toxins as possible before going under anesthesia, the drugs used for anesthesia would further congest an already overloaded liver. Many of the fibroids do not shrink as the person does not follow an aggressive enough program, or continues to work or live in an environment which is full of toxins, the body simply can’t get ahead.

The following program is designed to cleanse the body of toxins, balance hormone levels, and provide nutrients that are known to help prevent formation of cysts in the body. Even if you opt for surgery, this program would be an excellent choice to help in the further formation of cysts in the future. In this case you would use all the same supplements but only use the All Cell Detox formula for 10 days several times a year as a cleanse.

All Cell Detox (#1078-2) This combination of 13 herbs enhances the detoxification channels of the kidneys, colon, and liver. This formula was originally formulated to help break down tumors, cysts, and cancerous growths. It has excellent cleansing herbs combined with gentle soothing and digestive herbs as well. Make sure you drink 2 quarts of water daily to allow your body to properly cleanse. 3 capsules twice daily for 4 weeks. You will want to take enough so that you are having 2-3 good bowel movements daily, so increase dose to 3 times daily if necessary.

Fiber: We need a fiber source in this program. Fiber will cause the stools to absorb more water and become bulkier, the bulky stool moves along thru the colon much faster and easier, cleaning old debris off the wall of the colon as it goes along. It is not unusual to have bowel movements wrapped in mucus on a cleansing program. There are two choices for fiber, one is the powdered form, such as our Nature’s Three (#1345-0) which you mix in 8oz. of juice or water, once or twice daily, shake to mix. The Nature’s Three has a pleasant apple taste. For those of you who just won’t drink any thing like this, I suggest the formula Fat Grabbers (#2937-0). This formula combines Psyllium, chickweed, and lecithin, it provides fiber and helps breakdown fats in the body. 3 capsules twice daily, take at the same time as the All Cell Detox.

* Wait until you have been on the All Cell Detox for two days before you start your fiber. this insures that your colon gets moving before you add in the fiber.

Potassium source : Another contributor to the growth of tumors and cysts is a lack of potassium. Potassium is needed to flush toxins out of the cell. Colloidal Minerals (#4013-6) or Chinese Mineral Chi (#1818-3) provide needed potassium along with 66 trace minerals to help balance the body. Both these formulas help to alkalize the body. When the body is too acidic it has a problem releasing toxins from the cells, so this is very important to the program. Colloidal Minerals has a pleasant lemon-lime flavor. Mineral chi tonic has a strong flavor, not so pleasant, but tolerated when followed with a little juice. The Mineral chi is preferred for those under stress or with a weakened immune system. 1 Tbls. twice daily, keep refrigerated.

Pro-Yam Cream 500 (#4936-5) This is a body cream containing wild yam and progesterone, supplies natural progesterone to help block estrogen from entering the cells surrounding the cyst. Since excess estrogens cause the growth of cysts and tumors, blocking some of it seems like a good idea. Apply 1/4 teaspoon once daily over abdomen, groin, or breast area. Rotate each day so a different area is saturated.

CoQ10-30 (#4089-6) Poor circulation and oxygen supply is another major contributor to the formation of cysts and tumors. COQ-10 promotes immune function and carries oxygen to cell. The addition of ginkgo and capsicum to this formula helps to enhance to the cell. One capsule twice daily thru the first bottle, then one capsule per day.

Regular exercise would be another way to increase oxygen supply to the tissues. Aerobic type exercise would also help clear the toxins from the lymphatic tissues. A mini trampoline is excellent for this.

Note: After your initial 4 week cleanse you would continue to stay on a daily fiber source, the Pro-G-Yam, and the Mineral Drink. It is important that you continually work on improving your diet by making healthy food choices, and exercise at least 3 times weekly. If you tended to be constipated before the cleanse, you may still want to include a bowel formula on a regular basis to keep your colon working well. LBSII (#990-1) is a good bowel formula that you can take daily, most people do well with 2 per day taken at dinner time.

Special Note: When working on a program to decrease the size of fibroid cysts do not take any weight loss products that increase metabolism or thyroid stimulating products. It is possible that such products may help to increase the rate of growth of the cyst as these products effect the energy and metabolism of all cells. If you are overweight, the cleansing program above will help to promote weight loss. You can take any of the following products for weight loss while on this cleansel: CLA, Hi-Lipase, Fat Grabbers, orSugar Reg.
