What causes Lipoma?

I went to my doc yesterday for my Lipoma. She told me that there is nothing to be worried about and they are benign fatty tumors. Well! I just go to docs for diagnosis, but not for treatments. Not always have they been able to diagnose the problem either. Have any of you treated this problem and seen it disappear? If Lipoma is the symptom in my body, what would be the cause?

I want to do a good cleanse. I'm sure colon, liver, lymph all play a role in this. Would potassium deficiency cause these issues? I also have small fibroid in my uterus. Is there a link between lipomas and fibroids?

Thanks,
