No quick fix for fibroids

No quick fix for fibroids

I have just come across this video  which has an excellent and short explanation of how embolisation procedure works. They make it look wonderfully easy and painless. This time last year I was considering embolisation to remove Bob and Max (my 6 and 7cm fibroids). In doing so i did plenty of research and found that the procedure as all medical interventions for fibroids have side effects for which women get readmitted to the hospital. 

In one scientific study which I read - and will post the link to once I find it again on the www, 8 women were observed after fibroid embolisation. One of those women had to go to an operating table to fix complications of the dying tumour. To me, one in eight chances of this happening are far too frightening. 

Also, I didn't want to have a foreign particle in my vain. They put a bit of plastic or other possibly toxic material to block the blood supply to the fibroid. Fibroid just shrivels. It dries inside the body. If I remember correctly, one lady had to "give birth' to her fibroid because it was just sitting there, dry. 

Instead, I was not drinking alcohol, not eating meat and dairy, not consuming any artificial sugars or anything with chemicals. After 8 months I started with an occasional glass of wine and was soon back on eating as vegan. Not as a vegan trying to heal their body. I thought that this may be enough. 

Sadly, there are no quick fixes. 

The raw way will take 'several months' says this woman Farhana who got rid of her fibroids on a raw diet. She told her story in a number of interviews. Last year I watched this one and it stayed in my head for all this time. I was keeping the knowledge of how to rid my body of Bob and Max but was too afraid to completely go raw. It was such a daunting prospect. I thought I could do it with Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, turmeric, garlic, and other plant based food as well as bread, coffee, soups.. etc. I also did acupuncture, colonic irrigation and an occasional fast. It didn't work. 

My subconscious would speak to me so often and say: 

               "you have the knowledge... you know how to rid your body of fibroids... fast and eat raw. It           is hard. It is the only way. There are no side affects. Your body will feel amazing." 

One thing that struck me with Farhana's story is that she was eating an unhealthy diet before she went raw. So the scope for her improvement is greater than that for me. I have always eaten a lot of fruit and veg and cooked from scratch without chemicals and pre-cooked sauces, etc. Very healthy. 

However, My diet never starved my body of all toxins. That is for sure. 

I have been completely raw since Friday 27th May. That is two weeks now. at first I felt that fibroids were loosening. Now, I feel them as they were before the start of the raw. It will take months. I want to accelerate this process a little bit and so am considering a few fast days. 

I would like to fast for four days ideally because it takes a four days fast for the body to reboot itself. All the cells will go back to their optimum function. So, if after a reboot I can then continue starving the body of toxins then Bob and Max will not like it here and will decide to eventually leave. 

I have only ever done a two day fast before and it was very hard. I was staying at a Buddhist temple surrounded with like minded people but it was tough. How will I do it living with two heavy meat eaters I have no idea. 

There has to be the right time to do it. I will find it. I will keep this space updated. 

The journey has only just begun. There are no quick fixes. Bob and Max have been growing on my uterus for 6 years and I know they will take a real effort to persuade to leave.
