Natural ways to Shrink Fibroids

I am doing the same thing. Here is my routine:

For first 3 days (as a precleanse) I ate only vegetables and fruit.

For the next 3 days I went on a juice Fast and started to take a herbal supplement.

After the juice fast I lost 7 lbs and it was horrible tasting juices.

I Continued taking the supplement, but my diet consists of this:

No grains except amaranth, buckwheat, millet, and quinoa.

No dairy.

No red meat, but I do eat fish and organic chicken.

75% raw diet, which is expensive.

No caffeine or alcohol.

I have just started taking DIM and have ordered Turmeric capsules.

I have a green smoothie for breakfast every day and drink a lot of water.

I have 3 fibroids 2 are 8cm and on top of my uterus and the other is 4cm inside my uterus.

I will continue doing this diet until July and I'll have another ultrasound to see if they are shrinking.

If not, I will consider partial hysterectomy surgery once again. My biggest concern about the surgery is the recovery time and this is why I'm going the alternative route. My surgery was scheduled for March 31st, but I'm going to take an 8-day vacation instead.

Good luck to everyone changing your lifestyle to shrink their fibroids!! 

i have just read your post and yor proposed regime which is stuff I am very familiar with but often struggle to keep up momentum with for really sustainned periods of time. Am really interested to hear more about your story if you would be willing to share, and find out what success es and struggles you have encountered in the the nine months since your initial post... peaCe and love, vix

Im in a similar route..i would like to know if your fibroids shrunk after this diet? Thank you so much!

i just saw this note. I am very curious if it worked. I am myself up for a decision whether to get my fibroid removed syrgically with or without hormonal pre-treatment. Thank you very much! Z

I am am curious how you got on with your regime to shrink fibroids . Did you manage to avoid  surgery. 

Thank you for sharing your experience 

best wishes

Hi Anna

Each month I get a period still. I may bleed lightly for the first few days, bleed heavier for 2 and lightly for a few more. Sometimes I bleed lightly for 6 days and that's it. Last period I bled lightly for 4 days, heavy for 2 and spotted for about 6 more days. I've chosen to avoid surgery for the third time. I look at it as pre - pre menopausal. Still with a Mirena in my third year.

then you can get on the job of makig a baby safe in the knowledge theres plenty of room for it.

you could be experimwnting for years to shrink your fibroids.

remember to knock off any supplements that thin your blood like ginco biliba and also anticoagulants like aspirin before the op as sometimes they have a bit of bleeding trouble with that op.

you gotta remem that IVA might not work for you first time.

think how depressed you'll be if you've wasted a whole year on spurious diets to shrink the beasties.good luck !

strike while the irons hot, i say.

then you've nothing to lose by trying the diet especially if your not in pain.

its been interesting reading about all you young women having fibroids.

and it occurred to me that maybe diet is the reason you are getting the beasties so young.

so in theory a change of diet could work.

the diet doesnt sound much fun though at your age.

my grandmother was born 1900 and i was born 1948.

i remember her complaining about the beasties when she was 50 something.

my mother when she died had an enormous stomach.

she had no pain.

i was first aware of mine at the age of 42 coming up to menopause.

i bled and bled and was put on list for hysterectomy.

4 months later i was ok so never got my lady parts removed.

so 3 generations of my family managed to have our babies.

the point i'm trying to make is that those days the diet was completely different. in fact not much food around.

meat and veg straight out of the fields.

interesting eh.
