Uterine fibroids help

Body: 

I've been dealing with fibroids for the past three or four years. Having vaginal ultrasound and was told that one was 3 cm the other was 4.4 cm and there's multiple small ones in my uterus and they are beginning to push on my bladder My doctor recommended a hysterectomy I declined. so she also suggested the uterine artery embolization .
I had and MRI done and the saw the radiologist and he said I was a candidate for this procedure..

has anyone had this done what was your experience? there's not to many patient reviews on this.

I remember posting a quote a few months ago from Nora Coffey's book, The "H" Word, which describes this procedure as having such bad potential side effects that many women end up having hyst anyway. I am looking for this post; don't have my book handy. This is the procedure that cuts off blood supply to the fibroids, right? - Surviving

Yes it does cut off blood supply to fibroids any info I would appreciate

Here is a link for the relevant web page on the HERS Foundation's site:

Thanks for the link I definitely won't be doing that one

Fibroids are due to oxidative stress.

I suspect that if you had your genes tested on 23andMe you would have issues with either of the SOD genes and/or the glutathione enzyme genes.

I had an issue with SOD2 -- and realized that it was also the cause of my father's Parkinson's as he too shares the same SNP.

When I started taking an SOD mimic in an effort to prevent my getting Parkinson's, my fibroids, pain and all the discomfort and ups and downs with my cycle ended.

I then talked to a physician who has been using this compound for about 25 years to treat patients in his practice. He has several papers on how it helps with fibrocystic breast disease, uterine fibroids and PMDD.
He told me that if I stopped taking this for about 2 weeks my symptoms would return. I unintentionally took such a hiatus from this compound. One day my stomach blew up like a balloon. I thought I ate something that did not agree with me. The next day I got my period -- severe pain again -- and the EXTREME excessive bleeding started again.

I had forgotten how painful my periods were.... I really developed a high tolerance for pain over the years. Within 3 days of taking this substance again, my pain and my period stopped. It is a superoxide dismutase mimic. It also mimics catalase -- so an added benefit is that my gray hair seems to be receding. It is more salt and pepper in patches than pure white. And I have tons of energy now -- it actually helps the body make more ATP which in essence is reversing aging.

Look up US Patent US20120115905 and

There are more articles that explain the connection to free radical stress and the importance of superoxide dismutase. Google Tempol to find a physician who offers this treatment.

I am shocked that no doctor ever told me about this or what is the most simple cure. I get mine from TempolResearch @ gmail.com. They will sell to doctors or researchers. They may also know of a physician in your area who is familiar with the protocol.
