affect on fibroids?
Q. Are there any cautions regarding

Q. I have a very large fibroid
and low thyroid; am taking Armour. You state you think there is
a connection between the two conditions. Do you mean that unbalanced
thyroid leads to fibroids?
Q. Do I need Nattokinase if
I have fibroids?
Q. What are fibroids made of?
A. The matrix of a fibroid can be formed from excess fibrin,
smooth muscle tissue, and generally, pockets of estrogen.
Q. What causes uterine fibroids and
other women’s fibrosis conditions?
A. According
to many health care professionals,
estrogen dominance is the root
cause of fibroids and other
fibrosis conditions.
Q. What are the different types of
fibroids?
A. There are
four different types: Subserous
(outer wall), Submucosal (inside
the uterine cavity, Intramural
(within the uterine wall), Penduculated
(attached to the uterus by a
stalk)
Q. Can fibroids grow in different
parts of the uterus?
A. Yes, fibroids
can grow in many different locations
around and in the uterus
Q. What are some of the symptoms
associated with uterine fibroids?
A. Heavy menstrual bleeding, irregular
menstrual bleeding and spotting, pelvic pressure and pain, urinary
frequency and urgency, constipation and hemorrhoids, infertility,
loss of pregnancy.
Q. Can I expect to see a discharge
as the fibroid is breaking down?
A. It depends;
if the fibroid(s) are inside
the uterine cavity, you may
notice a discharge. This is
a common sign that the lysing
(dissolving) of the fibroid
is occurring. The color of this
discharge can range from clear
to white to blood red or brown
periodically during the first
few months. If you experience
any discharge that alarms you,
please consult with your doctor.
If the fibroid(s) are in the
lining, they will be broken
down, carried through the circulatory
system and excreted via the
bowel. This is not something
one would notice.
Q. Will consuming soy feed the growth
of uterine fibroids?
A. Soy is a
concentrated phytoestrogen.
Many women have related that
the consumption of soy has contributed
to the growth of their fibroid(s).
Q. What diet is best when attempting
to shrink the growth of fibroids?
A. A low fat,
high fiber diet is best. Eating
organic meats, fruits &
vegetables, and dairy will help
eliminate xenoestrogens such
as chemical pesticides and human
growth hormones that can mimic
estrogen in the body.
Q. What is a calcified fibroid?
A. Older fibroids
can develop a calcium coating
which is basically a hard outer
shell that may be the body’s
way of isolating the fibroid.
This calcification can prevent
the enzymes from doing their
work.
Q. How do I know if my fibroid
is calcified?
A. Your doctor should be able to determine this via an
ultrasound.
Q. What helps break down the calcification?
A. Magnesium Citrate helps reduce excess calcium in the
body when taken alone without calcium
Q. Should I worry about osteoporosis
if I take magnesium without calcium for calcification of a fibroid?
A. Generally, our diets are higher in calcium than they
are in magnesium. Current research is showing that magnesium plays
a bigger role in the prevention of osteoporosis than originally
believed. After fibroids shrink, calcium can be added back into
a regimen.
Q. Can I take Calcium D-Glucarate
if I have a calcified fibroid?
A. It would be best to avoid all types of calcium supplements
while attempting to shrink the growth of a calcified fibroid in
order to give the magnesium citrate an opportunity to work on reducing
the calcification.
Q. Can Calcium D-Glucarate have
a direct affect on fibroids?
A. Yes, in different ways. This supplement can help prevent
the re-absorption of used estrogen from the gastrointestinal tract.
As a result, more estrogen is eliminated and less stays in the blood
where it may continue to feed the growth of fibroids. Additionally,
various studies indicate that this plant extract may be effective
in inhibiting tumor growth during the initiation, promotion an progression
phases.
Q. Are there any cautions regarding
the use of Calcium D-Glucarate?
A. Yes. It is possible that taking Calcium D-Glucarate
could increase the elimination of certain drugs or used hormones
from the body, thereby reducing their effectiveness. If you are
taking any prescription medication, please consult your physician
or pharmacist before taking this supplement.
Q. I have a very large fibroid
and low thyroid; am taking Armour. You state you think there is
a connection between the two conditions. Do you mean that unbalanced
thyroid leads to fibroids?
A. According to Dr. John Lee, "there appears to be a
cause-and-effect relationship between hypothyroidism, in which there
are inadequate levels of thyroid hormone, and estrogen dominance.
When estrogen is not properly counterbalanced with progesterone it
can block the action of thyroid hormone, so that even when the
thyroid is producing normal levels of the hormone, the hormone is
rendered ineffective and the symptoms of hypothyroidism appear. In this case, laboratory
tests may show normal thyroid hormone levels in a woman's system,
because the thyroid gland itself is not malfunctioning."
Q. Do I need Nattokinase if I have
fibroids?
A. No, Nattokinase
is primarily used for cardiovascular
health. Pain Power contains
a blend of enzymes that are
helpful in shrinking the growth
of fibroids without overly thinning
the blood. Additionally, it
is not suggested to take these
enzymes in high doses, as it
may overly thin the blood.
