QUESTION:

Hi Lena,
 
Please help me understand my fibroids? I'm told that every woman has them but I don't know how true that is? Does it prevent a woman getting pregnant? Should I have them removed or is there a natural treatment to shrink them?
 
Thanks.
 Illa
 
ANSWER:
 
First, I would like to say that Fibroids are almost never cancerous. This is the fear played on by doctors in order to perform surgery, usually a hysterectomy. You will be told that they may develop into cancer therefore you should have them removed. Not necessary! But is responsible for the thousands of hysterectomies performed daily...
 
Second, they are not in every woman! It's just our foods no longer give us the nutrients to keep our body healthy and so they are more prevalent than generations past?
 
To try and explain what Fibroids are; usually benign (non-cancerous) growths that appear within the muscle and connective tissue of the uterus. They usually develop from a single smooth muscle cell that continues to grow. There may be one fibroid or several; sometimes they grow in clusters. Fibroids can vary considerably in size. A fibroid can be as small as a pea, and most remain small. Fibroids can grow to be fairly large, larger than a grapefruit in some cases. Most of the time fibroids grow slowly but others develop more quickly. They typically grow larger over time. The size and type of fibroids varies immensely among women and some are so small that a microscope is required to see them. However, on rare occasions, some women experience a single large fibroid tumor the size of a grapefruit or a fibroid which is so large it encompasses the entire abdominal area. Such large tumors can weigh as much as 50 pounds; the largest reported fibroid ever recorded weighed in at 140 pounds. And only one known!
 
About 1% of fibroids are responsible for not conceiving a child. I do know women who have had successful pregnancies and a healthy baby while also having fibroid tumors, at the same time with a normal delivery and no problems. Although most fibroids cause no symptoms, the estimated 25 percent of women who do have symptoms may have abnormal bleeding, pain during menstruation, and as the fibroid tumors grow larger, women will often experience a swollen abdomen.
 
Types of Fibroid Tumors are;

Submucous Fibroids; These fibroids occur just below the lining of the uterus and can cause menstrual problems, including pain as they grow and move around the pelvic area.
 
Intramural Fibroids; A round fibroid most often within the uterine wall which can cause enlargement of the uterus as they grow.
 
Subserous Fibroids; This fibroid grows on the outer wall of the uterus and usually causes no symptoms until it grows large enough to interfere with other organs.
 
Pedunculated Fibroids; These fibroids develop when a subserous fibroid grows a peduncle (stalk), as they grow larger they may become twisted and cause severe pain.
 
Interligamentous Fibroid; A fibroid which grows sideways between the ligaments which support the uterus in the abdominal region. This type of fibroid is especially difficult to remove without the possibility of interfering with the blood supply or other organs. Is very rare and can be responsible for miscarriage during a pregnancy.
 
Parasitic Fibroid; The rarest form of fibroid tumor occurs when a fibroid attaches itself to another organ.
 
The traditional medical world says fibroids are caused by hormones gone wild and no prevention is available and surgical removal is necessary for most. And your question to me "Should I have them removed?" is not a question I can answer for someone else. I personally would not given what I know but that is for you to decide!
 
The natural world believes them to be caused from hormone fluctuations without proper mineral content in the body... Preventable with proper nutritional balance and shrinkable by the same method, requiring more aggressive supplementation.
 
Whose right? That will be debated forever I suppose. We do know that when birth control pills came on the market in the early 60's that fibroids soon became more common, which tells us that hormones do play some kind of roll in the forming of them. Just how nobody knows as it hasn't really been studied.
 
I do know that I watch fibroids disappear under natural treatment with mineral and hormone balancing. This is done with herbs and liquid minerals. A special protocol, designed by Wayne Garland, ND, herbologist, works to dissolve them. I will be happy to furnish that protocol if you wish simply email me with your request?
 
99% of fibroids are not to be feared and are preventable with supplementing minerals and herbal hormone balancing formula...
 
Be smart, eat right, exercise and supplement smartly so you won't grow them!
 
Hope this answers your questions,
Lena

THE LIST

How long would your list be if you took inventory of your blessings - all of that for which you can give thanks? For family? For friends? For faith? For health and the necessities of life? Did you know that some one million people will die this week ? how is your health? Those who have food, clothing and shelter have more than much of our world's population will ever possess. Do you have these necessities of living?

How long would your list be if you took inventory of your blessings and added one new item daily? Would you be amazed at the size of the list?

You have 1,140 minutes in every day. How would your life be different if you spent just 15 of those minutes daily giving thanks? Just 15 minutes filling your mind with concrete examples of how fortunate you are? Most of us would discover even after a few days that the exercise was life changing!

Poet Courtland Sayers put it this way:

    Five thousand breathless dawns all new;
    One million flowers fresh in dew.
    Five thousand sunsets wrapped in gold;
    One million snowflakes served ice cold.
    Five quiet friends, one baby's love;
    One white sea of clouds above.
    One June night in a fragrant wood;
    One heart that loved and understood.
    I wondered when I waked that day -
    In God's name - how could I ever pay?

Christian mystic Meister Eckhart said, "If the only prayer you say in your whole life is 'thank you,' that would suffice." I suspect he is right.

FOOD OF THE WEEK
=================

Alligator Pear!
 
Nature's whole food! Avocados, nicknamed "alligator pears" because of their bumpy exteriors, come in several varieties. Some have a green covering. Others are dark purple or almost black. Some are smooth, while others are bumpy. Some are small and others weight as much as four pounds. Yet, when you slice them open, they all have the same delicious light green, nutty-flavored flesh inside.

The avocado got its name from the ancient Aztec word for "testicle". Maybe that is why men once thought eating avocados would boost their virility.  In times past, avocado pulp was used as a hair pomade to stimulate hair growth and to help heal wounds. Native Americans treated dysentery and diarrhea with its seed. Even today, its oil can be found in many cosmetics. The avocado has uses as a natural cosmetic, and is considered a superior natural sunscreen.

According to legend, a Mayan princess ate the first avocado in 291 B.C. fortunately; you do not have to be royalty any longer to reap the rewards of this tasty tropical fruit.
 
But the avocado probably should have been named after the Aztec word for "heart", considering how it can help this vital organ. Loaded with monounsaturated fat, (speeds up the basal metabolic rate, as compared with saturated fat)  potassium (about 850 mg in a medium size avocado, heart healthy) fiber and antioxidants, the avocado fights high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Avocados have vitamin E which helps neutralize free radicals, folate that may lower homocysteine levels in the blood, and fiber that helps regulate blood sugar levels.  Again, specifically beneficial for people with diabetes, but healthy for most everyone. 
 
1/5 of an avocado is considered a serving. This small slice contains 55 calories, but they are good calories, but if you eat a half an avocado you will get 137.5 calories, still quite low. I was told some years ago that avocado's were not good for people with elevated cholesterol. I have since found out that isn't true at all... An avocado contains over 25 vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytonutrients and can be part of a calorie-reduced diet. Avocados high fat (the good fat) content gives a quicker feeling of being "full", thus helping to reduce overeating. Its high (good) fat content makes an overall sound diet more palatable, reducing the temptation to binge on foods high in sugars or saturated fats.
 
Benefits of eating avocados:

  • Lowers cholesterol
  • Controls blood pressure
  • Helps stop strokes
  • Battles diabetes
  • Combats cancer
  • Smoothes skin
One of my favorite ways of eating avocados other than raw with lemon is guacamole!
 
2 medium quartered avocados
1 Tbls. lime juice
1 Tbls. Lemon juice
1 - 2 Teaspoons grated onion
1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove crushed garlic.
2 Tbls. mayonnaise 
 
Add all ingredients into a food processor and mix until smooth:
Refrigerate 1 hour prior to serving
 
I also love my sandwiches with slices of avocado and put avocado into my salads. This is a multi use food and one that I thoroughly enjoy!
 
Enjoy nature's healthy food!
