The procedure sounds very much like a typical mainstream approach of treating a symptom (the pre-cancerous dysplasia cells on the surface of the cervix) without addressing the underlying causes. That is the typical of mainstream medicine's appraoch to everything from warts to cancer: cut it out, burn it out (freeze it off), nuke it, poison it - but only attack the symptom and ignore the ubnderlying health disorders that cause it.

Have you considered a good healthy program such as ones used to beat and avoid cancer? By that I mean, detox/cleansing, change to a healthy Diet of mostly raw fruits and vegetables, alkaline pH, anti-oxidants and supplements for cellular oxygen, vital nutrients such as iodine, potassium and Vitamin D, and one or more potent immune-boosting and cancer-fighting natural supplements?

Regardless of whether you go through with the procedure, such a program should help you avoid any recurrences. Many here might opt to forego the procedure, at least for now, and try the alternative approach entirely.

It's easy to advise others (actually it is kind of scary), but if I were in your shoes, that is what I would do.

Live long, live healthy, live happy!

I read that one side effect can be infertility due to damage to the cervix ,preventing fertilization.
Everyone on this forum seems to looking for some magic pill or treatment to cure your cancer. This is understandable because periodic seven day juice or Water Fasts and low fat high fiber diets consisting of salads ,brown rice ,vegetables etc are'nt very appealing.

I had a friend who had this done. I guess it’s pretty uncomfortable, but as far as I know it been effective, and she became pregnant several months afterwards. I hope you can arrange to have some extra loving care after the procedure, not because it’s physically disabling, it’s just invasive and it’s always worrisome to have pre-cancer especially on you female parts. It’s amazing how much our emotions are linked to our reproductive organs (I’m speaking for myself of-course). Cervical cancer prevention is actually one of the best services western medicine has to offer (even if they treat it symptomatically).

Having this procedure to address your advanced dysplasia is one of the most aggressive things you can do right now to prevent the potential progression to cervical cancer. After this procedure it might benefit you to reflect on the underlying cause of your dysplasia and look into the immune system boosting protocols mentioned in the above postings. Also you may want to research AHCC (a medicinal mushroom complex) and turmeric as cancer preventing supplements. If all goes well you will never have to go through this again.

Take care of your emotional health by surrounding yourself with good and happy people, take care of your immune system by respecting and listening to your body. Best Wishes and Love- Kat

What grade is your dysplasia?

I was at grade mild/moderate and I cured myself. I used DIM, extra vits/mins and vitamin A & E herbal infused organic tampons. My doctor was surprised by how quickly my cervix healed.

Good luck

I have been through this a few years ago, when the first found the cells I was stage one. I didn't like the idea of the treatment or any treatment for that matter and ask them to wait a while so that I could try to resolve it myself through alternative means such as diet and herbs. After a six months it had gone to stage 3, the said that this was really fast growth, so in the end after my GP personal wrote to me urging me to have the treatment I ended up having it. One of the things to consider is that it may effect how you are able to give birth if you plan to have children in the future. I was told that I would not be able to have a natural birth if I had the treatment and that I would have to have a c-section. I did not plan to have any more children, though I am not sure how I would have felt if I had have done.

It hurts a little nothing major, though I guess that people are different. They freeze the area so really not to bad, a bit of bleeding and some cramping...you do have to be careful though cos as I remember I had a bit of an infection afer it, no thing to bad and nothing that I could have done anything about. I was washing with tea tree every day and still had infection but as I sai...the pain really isn't too bad. I am being treated at the moment by a natural practitioner and she told me when I first went to see her that I had a virus that would have cause this, she said that I am now clear of the virus. On my last smear I was clear and I have been now for over two years since I had the cells removed.

I tend to think of things in a holistic way, that is that the cells were part of a wider thing that has been going on for me for a long time and I am interested in healing on a holistic level. I have other symptoms which affect my life and I am working hard to try and resolve my health. No one can really tell you what to do here, at the end of the day you have to do what is right for you. I was really not sure that this was the kind of treatment I wanted but at the time I must have felt that I needed to do this.

Wish you the best with it... moonie

It's been a while since you first posted....I was just wondering how everything turned out for you? I just received an abnormal pap result and go for a colposcopy this Tuesday. I'm a bit worried as I'm only 31 and have a 2 year old. The first thing that ran through my head was I have cancer, I'm going to die young and not see my son grow up! Anyway, just wondering how everything worked out for you.
