Uterine Fibroids: Plan of Action - D...

† Cross †
I am an US expat living in Africa and have no doctors here to speak with about this.
I am trying to heal uterine fibroids (had for 8 years – uterus size of a 14 week fetus) with very heavy bleeding and have just aggressively started to try and treat myself.
I have discovered many interrelated, underlying, potential issues including parasites, candida, leaky gut, clogged liver, insulin resistance, as well as toxic relationships, positive attitudes, etc.
Here is my recent path. First, I left my toxic 14 year marriage and all other toxic relationships about 10 months ago.
Although a good choice, it took a toll on my body and my fibroids blew up from 12 to 14 weeks and flooding turned to hemorrhaging landing me at the doctors with a HG 6.0 and no money for emergency surgery.
I treated anemia with iron and a change in diet. Cut out drinking and added many high iron foods and lots of veg. Anemia taken care of but I knew my next period could land me in a hospital again – or kill me as I live in a place with dangerous doctors.
I also started taking Folacin, B12 and increased magnesium. Next to cut down bleeding.I have cut my bleeding in half with vitex, red raspberry and sheperds purse. This past month, I introduced wild yam cream. Will know more next month but i think my sleep is improving.
(I was already treating anxiety and sleep issues with 5-htp and GABA for about 6 months now and am much better. I scored high on adrenal fatigue tests for years and now score a medium. Improved sleep.)
I have introduced creative visualization and positive thinking techniques back into my life about 6 weeks ago and it is strange that the overwhelming fear I had about everything simply left me. I’ve had it for as long as I can remember.
Amazing results in just a few months… and now it is time to deal with leaky gut, probable parasites, liver gall cleanse, inflammation - I am suspecting these are all behind my fibroids.– and as I’ve just discovered, leaky blood brain as I am feeling affects of GABA.
**This is my remaining plan if anyone can comment on the order of my self-treatment, recommendations, or changes.
(1st) Candida dietary changes and fish oil
(2nd) Parasite cleanse (Wormwood, Walnut hulls, Clove Buds) – 3 weeks
(3rd) Broad spectrum Probiotic – 50 million – 1 week
(4th) Liver and gallstone cleanse – Hulda Clarks method
(5th) Candida: - 2 months
- Diflucan – 1 week
- Nystatin – 1 month
- Caprylic acid, Pau D’arco, Oregano Oil, Black walnut
(6th) Broad spectrum probiotics and green foods – 2 months
In addition, starting pychnogenol and billbery for leaky BBB (for 6 months) and during all this time continuing fish oil, magnesium, folate, B12, vitex, red raspberry, sheperds purse, wild yam cream, 5htp and GABA (although GABA will stop working if leaky BBB is fixed).
Follow up, food grade diatomaceous earth to keep parasites away (affordable)
Will continue occasional liver cleanse and general candida diet
I plan on doing a food allergy test as soon as I can afford to travelI forgot to mention that I have been taking serrapeptase for about 4 weeks but I don’t think it will help without a thorough cleanse and eliminating inflammation causing foods. So far I am just experiencing a huge clearing of sinuses and no more sharp pains in my back while working at the computer. This leads me to believe it is also addressing inflammation in the body in other places I don’t notice.
I am not taking supplements for insulin resistance but I think that will be addressed with this course of action.
I welcome any advice and comments :)

This is a reply to # 2,219,839I would first work on the relationship issues using EFT or WHEE. EFT is free to learn, just type it in your browser and there are over 1000 websites and youtube videos to choose from. The myoma deals primarily with bad relationships, betrayal and a desire to raise a family that has been thwarted. I ask you to be open minded as EFT looks a little silly, but it is more effective than psychotherapy. There are even more effective means than EFT, but you have to pay for it.

This is a reply to # 2,219,862Thank you for your response. I did run across EFT this past year on youtube and although it does look a bit silly, I could see from people’s testimonials and responses that it is effective. I have no access to this in Africa so I will have to go the youtube route to try it out. I have actually been through EMDR, which is similar to EFT at Dr. Francine Shapiro’s clinic. She was the creator of EMDR. I didn’t achieve much success.
For me, I feel working with thoughts, energy and affirmations are incredibly affective for releasing resentments, changing your life, thought patterns, cultivating positive thoughts that allow good into your life…and, in dealing with any relationship issues. Luckily I have not wanted to raise a family so there is no disappointment there.
While I do believe that the myoma’s are related to relationship issues - I think the biggest relationship it has to do with is the one with yourself. Self love. I am working with that and growing by leaps and bounds. Take care of that and the other relationship issues start to dissolve. I continue that work daily.
I like that I am not alone in realizing the importance of the mind in all this and that it can be the first priority. I say ‘can’ because some of our situations are so bad that we could possibly hemorrhage to death. Or, we could be in a dangerous home situation. Or be so mentally unstable from the imbalance in the body that we can’t string a sentence together yet have bills to pay. These are emergencies and I believe emergencies are the first step.
I have taken on the emotional steps and am now adding on the physical steps. I welcome any feedback on my physical plan of action.

This is a reply to # 2,219,913I'm glad you are open minded to energy therapies. EMDR and EFT are superior to many therapies, I still regard them as week. There are 2 reasons why EFT may not be working for you:
1. You are not targeting the issue correctly.
2. You may be in that 15% that are dissociated. None of those therapies will work with that.
The only therapies I know of that effectively deal with dissociation are BSFF by Dr. Nims and Inner Influencing developed by Paul Gleblick. The latter being the most effective.
In the last decades there has arisen a myth, a kind of a hen or the egg conundrum, does the body affect the mind, or does the mind affect the body?
It has been my experience that it is primarily less than ideal emotions stuck in the subconscious that first affect the body.
The disease not clearing indicates that not all of the emotions have been released.

This is a reply to # 2,219,839Hello, Expat -
Your plan of action is not complete until you have seriously considered iodine. Many people have had fibroids disappear using iodine. Every cell in the body has an Iodine receptor, and not only the thyroid, but also the reproductive organs use much higher amounts of Iodine than conventional doctors have been taught about. There was an erroneous article on Iodine published in 1948 by someone who became a big shot at the NIH. Misinterpreting his results, he claimed that any more than an infinitesimal amount of iodine (150 micro grams) was bad for the body. Even though another article came out the following year explaining why the body needs more than the criminally low amounts the 1948 article claimed, the author of * that * article did not become a big shot, and the 150 microgram figure went into the medical text books and has been there ever since. In the late 20th century various MDs started studying the literature and saw that what was being taught was in error. The Iodine Doctors, as they are sometimes called, are Guy Abraham MD (formerly of UCLA OBGyn), Jorge Flechas MD, David Bronstein MD.
Japanese women regularly ingest an average of 13 grams of iodine per day in their diet and have much lower rates f Breast Cancer and other reproductive cancers.
Different parts of the body need different forms of iodine - iodine and iodide. The traditional solution of iodine is called Lugol's and has been in use for over 100 years and includes both forms. Many different labs prepare it. I found an inexpensive source in Canada. Do not take iodine in the form of seaweed as seaweed (eg kelp) also concentrates arsenic and mercury, which, unfortunately, are now in the oceans.
At the same time as taking iodine you must take 200-400 milligrams selenium, at least 3,000 milligrams Vitamin C, and 300-600 milligrams magnesium in order for it to work properly.
Iodine is a halogen. Before embarking on it, make sure you read/hear about the fact that if there are other halogens, such as the toxic bromide, chlorine and fluoride, already lodged in the cells of the body (these can be in flour or some medications, water, toothpaste, flame retardant on mattresses, etc), taking iodine in sufficient amounts will dislodge them and, if not handled correctly, can cause a detox reaction as the body tries to flush them. Having unrefined salt solution will help flush them out - see breastcancerchoices.org. The co-supplements mentioned above will are also part of correctly flushing these out.
You can also start very slow - ie 1 drop of Lugol's per day for one week, increasing to 2 drops per day the following week, etc, until reaching 16 drops per day -- 100 grams. That takes 4 months to reach that dose doing it that way, but I have been told there are no detox symptoms that way. I myself have not minded the detox symptoms because the

Also, instead of Nystatin, read at these sites about use of B3, either high-dose niacin or non-flush niacinamide (inositol hexanicotinate - vitacost has it in 1,000 mg capsules)

This is a reply to # 2,222,522OOps! VERY IMPORTANT CORRECTION of typographical error in previous post -- that's 100 milligrams per day, not 100 grams.
Some people take more than 100 milligrams of iodine/iodide per day.-

This is a reply to # 2,222,549Thank you so much for your response!
I was just put on iodine for brain fog but i was told to take only 8 drops a day. I ordered TPCS, Iosol Formula II, 1 fl oz (30 ml) (can't put a link as i am new here). The whole bottle is only 1,830mcg so i would need to drink a ton of bottles for one dose. I looked up Lugols and saw it is much more concentrated. I see i can get Lugols in South Africa so someone can bring it to me - yes!
I will try to order some for the future. Noted on taking it with Selenium, Magnesium and C.
I don't understand this:
"Iodine is a halogen. Before embarking on it, make sure you read/hear about the fact that if there are other halogens, such as the toxic bromide, chlorine and fluoride, already lodged in the cells of the body (these can be in flour or some medications, water, toothpaste, flame retardant on mattresses, etc), "
How would I find out if I have toxic bromide, chlorine or flouride lodged in my cells? Cells of the body of what?
Thanks again so much for your advice. I will look at all your links now.

This is a reply to # 2,222,522I just discovered that my inhaler has bromide in it. I've been using inhalers for asthma for over 20 years.
I have been following clues to my personal fibroid puzzle for years and I think you just turned me onto a very important one!!
How do i treat my asthma without my inhaler?? I am about to start NAC so that may help but not sure how much.
