Progesterone is also thought to play a role in fibroid growth. More specifically, clinical studies suggest progesterone facilitates the growth of fibroids. For example, fibroid size increases during treatment with synthetic progesterones. Combination GnRH agonist and progesterone therapy has been shown to have no effect on uterine volume, in contrast to GnRH agonist therapy alone which has been shown to reduce uterine volume. The observation that fibroids regress with the antiprogesterone agent, RU-486, further supports the role of progesterone as a promoter of fibroid growth.
Histologically, fibroids from patients treated with progesterone show more cellular growth than those from patients without progesterone therapy. Biochemically, fibroids have higher progesterone receptor concentrations than normal myometrium. Together, these data suggest that progesterone also enhances fibroid growth.
LynnAll cysts are the result of iodine deficiency. Iodine is required by every cell in the body, especially for women. Men only suffer hypothyroid & prostate problems from iodine deficiency.
Iodine deficiency results in the following diseases:
* Hormonal problems
* FibroCYSTic breast disease, painful lumps & bumps
* Skin Cysts
* Ovary Cysts (PolyCYSTic Ovary Syndrome)
* Uterus cysts, fibroids & endo, cycle problems
* Hypothyroid
* Brain Fog

Short term: Paint over the cyst with 2% Lugols Iodine, if painting over the same spot every day, please cover with an oil after painting to prevent dermatitis, so for example after painting the nipple area with iodine for FBD, cover with an oil such as grape seed oil, olive oil or coconut oil.
Lugols 2% iodine available at Amazon.Com is recommended.(5% lugols might sting very sensitive skin)
Iodine deficiency is a national crises among women. Read the book, "The Iodine Crisis: What You Don't Know About Iodine Can Wreck Your Life"

(I love love love this book, it will help you to make NEW HEALING DECISIONS) Purchased On Amazon.com
Drink green smoothies everyday to stop heavy bleeding. My last period was 50% normal and a joy to experience.
I just blend lettuce and another green like kale, dandelion .... with water and drink, yummmm . I am use to drinking raw greens so the taste does not bother me. Check out the bottom of this page for additional information about green smoothies.
Also, I love my green smoothies more savory than fruity, so when I want something more fancy I use a recipe from Rhio Uncook book called Creamed Spinach or I make up my own. I found the recipe below on www.rawfoodtalk.com and it is very very similar to the Rhio recipe.
Note: I usually leave out the pine nuts and cut down on the avocado, I use celtic sea salt instead of Nama Shoyu, still taste great. (SOY feed fibroids and make them grow)
Creamed Spinach
1 bunch spinach [approx 4-5 cups]
1 med tomato, quartered,
1/2 med onion
1/4 c fresh dill -[I only use 1/8 c]
1 avocado
1 cup soaked pine nuts
1/2 lime, juices [I used the whole thing]
1 tbs Nama Shoyu
I added cayenne powder and 1/2 garlic clove
Put all ingredients into a food processor and, using the 's' blade, process until smooth.
Serves 4 - can keep for 2 days

Molasses Cures

From the amazing feedback we have been receiving lately, it appears that molasses can cure cancerous tumors, fibroid tumors, anxiety, constipation, edema, heart palpitations, anemia, arthritic pain, joint pain, and acne. It has also been reported that molasses turns gray hair back to its original color and is a wonderful skin softener!
How it works: Molasses contains loads of minerals and is a good source of iron.
Suggested Amounts: 1 Tablespoon of Black Strap Molasses, first thing in the morning.
A Couple Of Testimonies:
1/2/2007: Nuria from Madrid, Spain writes, "About a month ago I was diagnosed with a 6 cm Fibroid tumor in my uterus. At that point I was having very heavy periods that will last over a week with a lot of pain and passing very big blood clots. I also suffered from back pain due to the fibroid and had problems peeing as the fibroid was pressing my bladder. After I was diagnosed, I started to look for natural cures on the internet and I found your website and after reading about all the remedies I started to take molasses three times a day ( 1 tablespoon). The first thing I noticed was that my period lasted only four to five days and I have to say I was a little afraid because my blood flow was abnormally light and I did not have not even a blood clot. Also, when I started to have horrible pain I took 4 tablespoons on one go as another reader suggested and after about 40 minutes the pain totally disappeared!!! Today I went to the doctor and they did a ultrasound scan and said the fibroid is gone!!! I am totally amazed and I am not too sure what to think, I don`t know if it is gone for ever or what but I will keep molasses in my diet just in case.
By the way, I did not use blackstrap molasses but the normal molasses which is sweeter. Also I started to eat algae (japanese Kombu-which is rich in iodine) as part of my diet, about once or twice a week, , so maybe this also played a part in the cure. Thank you very much for your website and I hope you can understand my english. Nuria "
2/4/2006: Sharon from Sonora, California writes us, "I am 65 today but when I was in my mid 40's, I was told by my doctor that I needed a hysterectomy because of excessive bleeding and fibroid tumors. I also had been literally crunching ice cubes from the tray in the ice box for quite sometime. A wonder they didn't break every tooth in my head plus it was driving everybody around me crazy. I had read this literature at some point about black strap molasses being able to get rid of fibroid tumors and I told my doctor I would let him know about having the hysterectomy and immediately started drinking 1 tablespoon black strap in a cup of water in the a.m. and another in the p.m. It wasn't long before I noticed I wasn't craving the ice cubes and the bleeding slowed to normal. When I went back to my doctor 6 months later the fibroid tumors (and there were many) had all but shrunk away. I continued drinking the molasses for a time after that and never had another problem in that area. That is the only thing I did. I was so glad I had found that little book on blackstrap and its cures. Great stuff."
From raw food support site (written by Victoria Boutenko of http://www.rawfamily.com):
Green smoothies belong to the most palatable dishes for all humans of all ages. With a ratio of fruits to veggies as 60:40 the fruit taste dominates the flavor, yet at the same time the green vegetables balance out the sweetness of the fruit, adding nice zest to it. Green smoothies are simply the best tasting dishes for the majority of adults and children. I always make extra smoothie and offer it to my friends and customers. Some of them eat a standard American diet. They all finished their big cup of green smoothies with complements. They were quite surprised that something so green could taste so nice and sweet.
5. By consuming two or three cups of green smoothies daily you will consume enough of greens for the day to nourish your body, and they will be well assimilated. Many people do not consume enough of greens, even those who stay on a raw food diet. The molecule of chlorophyll has only one atom that makes it different from a molecule of human blood. According to teachings of Dr. Ann Wigmore, to consume chlorophyll is like receiving a healthy blood transfusion.
6. Green smoothies are easy to make, and quick to clean up after. Many people told me that they do not consume green juices on a regular basis because it is time consuming to prepare green juices and clean the equipment after ' juicing, or to drive to the juice bar.
7. Green smoothies are perfect food for children of all ages, including babies of six or more months old when introducing new food to them after mother's milk. Of course you have to be careful and slowly increase the amount of smoothies to avoid food allergies.
8. When you consume your greens in the form of green smoothies, you can greatly reduce the consumption of oils and salt in your diet.
9. Regular consumption of Green smoothies forms a good habit of eating greens. Several people told me that after a couple of weeks of drinking green smoothies, they started to crave and enjoy eating more greens. Eating enough of green vegetable is often a problem with many people, especially in children.
10. Green smoothies can easily be freshly made at any juice bar, restaurant or health food store for the great convenience of health-oriented customers.
I encourage the readers of this article to start playing with green smoothies, and to discover the many joys and benefits of this wonderful delicious and nutritious addition to the menu.
Here are more ideas for your green creations. Some of my favorite greens to add to green smoothies: parsley, spinach, celery, kale and romaine. My favorite fruits for green smoothies are: pears, peaches, nectarines, bananas, mangoes and apples. Strawberries and raspberries taste superb in green smoothies, when combined with ripe bananas.
Delicious combinations.

Hello Sharon,
by Luella Isaacs
(The Best Years in Life) Conventional medicine’s answer to fibroid tumors is very often a hysterectomy or other type of surgery and medications – none of which guarantees that fibroids will not return. Nature, on the other hand, can shrink or eliminate fibroid tumors by addressing their source cause and utilizing remedies which create an environment in which fibroids are no longer welcome.
Fibroid tumors are tumors composed of fibrous tissue which generally occur in women during their reproductive years and shrink or disappear after menopause. Most of the time they are benign and cause no apparent symptoms; however, in other instances, fibroid tumors can result in severe discomfort and may include heavy bleeding and pain.
Fibroid tumors are also known as myomas, leiomyomas and fibromyomas. Their cause is not fully known, though estrogen is considered a primary factor in their growth. The jury is out, however, on whether the use of progesterone to treat women with uterine fibroids alleviates or promotes fibroids. One side claims that that lack of progesterone is the cause of tumor growth, while the other side points out that fibroids grow at a faster rate during pregnancy when progesterone levels are high.
Fibroid tumors can vary in size from so minute that they can only be identified under a microscope to very large. They can present themselves as a single tumor or as several masses. Although their rate of growth is generally slow, they can grow quickly during pregnancy. Symptoms include abnormal bleeding (sometimes severe enough to cause anemia), menstrual pain, and a swollen abdomen. Fibroids can also cause infertility.

A Plant-based Diet Could be Beneficial for Uterine Fibroids
I've got multiple fibroid, 4.7cm, 3cm and 2.8cm -- from 2009 ultrasound, which causes heavy bleeding. My period is getting worse to the point that I'm now anaemic. Gyno wants me to have hysterectomy but I don't want to, if I can still shrink it , the better. I also have heavy feeling on lower abdomen and frequent urination. Gyno put me under Promilut(progesterone pill) which causes my period to come out in clumps rather than liquid, I put up with it for 2 months but then my leg cramps and period got worse and worse so I decided to stop and try natural cures.
I then consulted a naturapath and she gave me a digestive enzyme (contains lipase,protease,amylyze and bromelians), been taking it for 2 months now. Before that am on raw jucing (carrots,beetroot,pineapple) for two months and meat free diet. I stop taking vitex cause it can stimulate growth (for some). I confided to a friend overseas and she says that she cures her fibroid by taking Carica Seed Extract Liquid which is the same as Pawpaw or Papaya Seed Extract for a year 2x a day on empty stomach. I found Papaya Seed Extract on health food store made by Rochway (Papaya 35 - fruit, leaf and seed extract). Am now taking this also.
As for heavy menstruation, Sheperds Purse teas seems to work. I also tried eating a bowl of cooked adzuki beans during period and noticed a slight reduction on bleeding.
I know it's a long way for me to see a result but I don't mind, as long as am not heading for hysterectomy. There's some improvement, the heavy feeling on lower abdomen is not bothering me anymore. I'm due for another ultrasound in december so I'm hoping that I can shrink it by then.
