Hello,
I am writing to thank you again for all of your help & support. I finally took my aerobics instructor & colonics dr. advise and went and got a full physical with much blood work & lab tests. I also went back to the gyn & got another ultra sound.
I actually have diabetes & high blood pressure on both sides of my family. I was praying for over a year for lowered and normalized sugar & b.p. for me and some people I know. I also prayed for weight loss in health & for my fibroids to go & my prolapsed to be repaired.
I took Grandma Joy and my aerobics instructor advice and went and got a series of colonics as well. Thus far, I only lost 7 or so pounds and I did 6 colonics and 4 body detox wraps. I have NOT been fully following my proposed diet however. I have HORRIBLE will power.
Well I got my result back and Thank be to GOD, all is fine!!!
Yea!!
Amazingly, my b.p. has been normal for over a month. Also, my sugar, sodium, iron, etc. was normal. I never bothered to pray for my cholorestol because why would that be up. Go figure, that was the one thing a little high! I HATE needles & I don’t normally have ins. so when they did blood work, I asked them to test for everything, including ovarian cancer. Normal ovarian numbers are 0.0 to 35.0. Mine was 35.3.
I was a little concerned and when I went to get the results of my sonogram, mammogram, etc. I asked her about that. She kind of dismissed it and said that it was just slightly high and not to worry about it. I asked my endocrine dr. who I went to see for my metabolism and weight loss. He drew even more blood and said my eating & exercise habits are the reason for my weight. I asked him about the 35.3 reading and he said that this reading did not mean that I had anything and I should not really worry until the numbers are over 60. He gave me some handouts about diet and exercise & quickly sent me on my way.
Woo hoo, another $40 well spent in an 8 minute consultation! Wow, they get paid to give you a 5 minute consultation and quickly send you on. And they refuse to give you results over the phone. At least my general practitioner was very patience and worked with me.
The amazing thing is that the gyn said my prolapsed was not that bad. I am SOOOOO GLAD you were around last summer Christine for my Whole Woman Crises Hotline call about me not being able to pee!!! ;D That was definitely one of the scariest times in my life – if not the SCARIEST!! I asked the gyn about me leaking urin and the chunks of matter exiting me. She tested to see if I had a urinary track infection. Thank God all came back negative.
She & the sonogram lady all claimed it was only a blood clot. I know what a blood clot is and I know what a piece of raw flesh is. I asked the sonogram lady did any fibroids rupture. She claimed they don’t rupture. Excuse me? I know of several ladies whose fibroids ruptured. The gyn said only cyst like fibroids rupture. I asked Ms. Sonogram if it looked like I had any to rupture inside me. She said no. She finally admitted that she had no idea what a ruptured fibroid looks like. She told me the next time it happens, wash it off and if it doesn’t fall down into the sink, show it to the gyn. This is just what I did. I seem to have chucks exit me on or right after my period. Some periods are normal and some periods I bleed light. Most I bleed like a slaughter pig. And every now and then over the past year or so, chunks would exit. A piece as thick and round as my big toe came out of me that day.
The gyn looked at the red matter that came out me and said blood clot. “I’m not getting that tested in a lab. I don’t need to see it any closer, it’s a blood clot” and told me to put it in the hazard waste basket. Being that the piece was inside a paper towel in a zip lock bag, how did she know it was only a blood clot? She said that only fibroid cysts rupture. Well maybe I had a fibroid cyst that ruptured. Especially since ms. Sonogram didn’t know what to look for inside me!
I do have 3 golf ball sized fibroids on my uterise. On in front by my bladder & one right behind by my rectum. Thus, the reason I have prolapsed like urin issues when I’m constipated & need to take a dump. I soon realized that it WAS my annoying, disgusting fibroids the day I went to my gyn appt. I get cramps RIGHT where the dr.’s & ms. Sonogram put pressure on my uterise. The place of my fibroids. My 3rd golf ball fibroid is near that area as well.
She then recommended me get them out since they are causing me such problems. Of course an operation. She then started speaking medical to me & said a bunch of things I have no idea what means. She basically said I can try to have them cut me below my navel and cut/chop up the fibroids and take them out that way. This would be an overnight hospital stay and at least a 6 week recovery period. The other option was to have a c-section and chop out the fibroids and re-fix my uterse. She said that I would be able to have kids, I would just need to have a c-section to birth them.
I asked about the out patience fibroid surgery advertised on the subway in which they zap and freeze them or something and send you home that evening. She said mine were not that type nor in the right location for that surgery. She said something about some catherization technique of squirting medicine up there makes me sterile. Being that I have NEVER been married nor pregnant, I am completely not interested in that one.
She gave me some handout of area hospitals (as if I can PRICE shop around for the best deal & safest hospital, as if I have no idea where the hospitals are) said this and quickly kicked me out of her office. My $40 co-pay consultation for my results. What a rip off!
Somehow my fibroids grew drastically within the last 7 years to cause me to have stage 3 prolapsed systems. When my prolapsed is probably only stage 1. If somehow they grew, then hopefully I should be able to starve them so they can shrink. After all, I am NOT hallucinating. I KNOW chucks of matter exited me. Just because they don’t believe I could have cyst like fibroids rupture does not mean that it did not happen. Maybe God answered my prayer for them to spew and leave out of my body. After all, I actually did not start praying for them to leave until a few years ago. And it was a little less than a year that I started have light spotting in the middle of my cycle (and my cycle is VERY regular) and some chunk or large blood clot would exit me during my cycle. The fact that some times I’d get HORRIBLE cramps then that evening some chunk would exit me would make me think that those cyst like fibroids were rupturing all of the time. I also find it interesting for me to not just get a condition that is COMPLETELY atypical for me to get. I am a woman of color, with very wide hips, and I never have been pregnant – let alone had many kids. But I also find it interesting that I was praying for my prolapsed to be strengthened and restructured. And when I went to the gyn, she said my prolapsed really isn’t that bad.
It seems like ALL of my problems are due to these disgusting 3 golf ball size fibroids! So now I will focus all of my prayer for these 3 golf ball size fibroids to shrink!! And I will now focus all of my efforts and attention to whatever herbs and foods to achieve this! I now finished all of my colonics and I will be making an appt. with the naturopathic dr. who will hopefully have some herbs for me to take to starve them and cause them to shrink to the size of a pea – or smaller, down to NOTHING~~~
All in all, I am glad to have finally gotten an extensive check up. I even got a dental check up. And yea, no cavities!! Since I must pay high monthly fees for my health ins. I figured I’d get all of my moneies worth!
As I mentioned, I went to an endocryonologist to see if my metabolism was officially slow as the reason for me not being able to lose weight. He said no and I need to diet better and exercise more. I even finally went to a piadiatrist! I know an earlier post, http://www.wholewoman.com/forum/node/800 Flat feet - need help/advise
you guys mentioned insoles. Mine arrived today!! Yea!
So overall, I am pleased with all of my results. Even the fact that I don’t have a really bad prolapsed and all of my prolapsed symptoms are due to the disgusting fibroids plased in the worst location in my body. If God can answer my prayer for normoralized b.p. (and just a few years ago the dr. at the univ. health center wanted to give me some b.p. medicine and I had hypertension all of my life) sugar, and seemingly repair my prolapsed and have the fibroids cyst spew out of my body – then I'm going to DEFINITELY pray for the shrinkage of these final 3 imps inside of me!
Of course the hugeness of my gut has a direct correlation to these huge fibroids as well! :(
AMEN!! And sorry for the long post. ;D

Any dietary or herb advice?
Christine, Grandma Joy, or whoever; I will very much appreciate any dietary advise and herb supplements to help shrink my fibroids.
All advice is greatly appreciated. I called myself order your cookbook but I guess it didn’t go through on my computer. Also, I wonder since my symptoms masked stage 3 prolapsed, do you think your food suggestion and cleansing will work on my fibroids?
p.s.s., I know this is not the proper place for this, but my non profit is in the process of securing a property to build a community center and they wish to host health and wellness seminars. We of course are on the east coast in Maryland near DC and you are on the west coast. We would still be interested in talking to you about possibly coming out to do a seminar. Please call or e-mail me and let me know. We might even gather some ladies together and do a “relax & get in touch w/ your body & nature” type retreat out there. Of course, both the seminars and any possible retreat would be in 2008.

great news!
Dear Ms. Cutie,
Thank you so much for sharing heart and soul with us in this most expressive post!
Fibroids are difficult, but I would take three golf ball-sized ones over prolapse any day!! Congratulations for bringing your self to such an admirable state of health.
I would suggest you scout around for a good Ayurvedic clinic in your area. I am not a devotee of Ayurveda, but do appreciate certain of their perspectives on women’s health. For instance, they contend that diseases like endometriosis occur more often in Vata (light, airy) types and fibroids more prevalent in Kapha (heavy, contemplative) types. There are tailored treatment programs that include your whole person, most especially diet and lifestyle changes. It might be worth looking into.
I wonder what would happen if you understood the fibroids to be part of YOU and began to consider them lovingly. No one really knows how these whorls of white, hard, smooth and shiny substance take up residence in the uterus. They are known to be fed by estrogen and to shrink – often to literally nothing – at menopause.
ALL of the options to remove them are harmful, most especially the newest procedure that attempts to block the uterine artery to starve them of blood flow. Your uterus and ovaries require that same source of blood and oxygen.
You are absolutely right that the uterus does indeed know how to purge itself. I have no doubt that my uterus “spewed” :-) itself of adenomysis, a thick and blood-caked uterine lining. How to make the uterus do that remains a mystery though. Anyway, I think fibroids are far more difficult to expel – certainly those growing on its outer surfaces.
So, what if you just continue to live well with them? Key to that process would be closely watching what you put into your body (the uterus is one of our largest cleansing organs) and being vigilant about exposure to toxins, to avoid endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
I hated to think of a young woman struggling with such a severe uterine prolapse. Halleluiah that it turned out to be only small, manageable fibroids!
:-) Christine

Oh Ms Cutie!!!
I am SO proud of you! Just look what you have done! You have literally taken the bull by the horns and empowered yourself to start on a journey to improve your health and life. Congratulations! First of all, don't tell yourself anymore that you have horrible will power. It took will power to get started on what you have done, so you know you have it, you must maintain it by feeding your body positive thoughts. You can test yourself in this manner: if something strikes you as hilariously funny - you may even have belly laughs, which releases endorphins in your body and you truly feel good all over after that happens. On the other hand, you can think of something, even minor things, that make you feel sad or bad, maybe even saying "my arm is killing me!" and your body will react negatively to that thought and your arm will continue to hurt.
I totally agree with everything Christine just posted to you - you must learn to love yourself, prolapse and all. Embrace each problem, if you want to call it that, and work on adjusting or fixing it. You've been to a few professionals who've told you how to fix things and you are coming to this site for Christine's wonderful advice. You've come a long way since January (I'd wondered what happened to you) and have made enormous strides in becoming a whole woman. So, don't stop now. You have the support of all of us on this site, and you unequivocally have my support in the coming months. Feel free to email me if you so choose, I will be happy to help you. The areas you've cited that needs work; i.e., diet, exercise, prolapse, etc., will all take time - there is no quick fix.
Food is extremely important, what you eat and how much. Organic food has slimming properties in them. God put all foods on this earth for us to eat - each nutrient and phytonutrient in those foods work synergistically with the cells in our bodies to maintain good health. Our bodies do not know what to do with genetically modified food or chemically produced food and will throw off some of it, but the rest is stored in the fat cells and is bio-accumulative. If you can afford organic food, that is my first and foremost advice, along with the exercises in Christine's book. Colonics are not for losing weight but for getting rid of toxins. This was an excellent start on detoxing your body, but you need to stop putting more toxins in.
I am so happy your test results came out so positive and look forward to hearing from you on your progress in every area.
Love and blessings,
Grandma Joy

Thank you both for such encouragement! ;D
Thank you both for such encouragement! ;D
It IS easy to just ignore issues & hope for the best. When you’re lucky, the do go away. But many times you do finally have to face your issues – usually with fear, hesitation, anger, etc. And always reluctantly!
Thank you sooo much Christine for your encouragement & advise. I guess it is semi-encouraging to know that “Fibroids are difficult, but I would take three golf ball-sized ones over prolapse any day!!” and “They are known to be fed by estrogen and to shrink – often to literally nothing – at menopause”. ;D
It is also comforting to know that I’m (hopefully by far) not the only one to have weird stuff spew out of my vagina as well.
“ALL of the options to remove them are harmful, most especially the newest procedure that attempts to block the uterine artery to starve them of blood flow. Your uterus and ovaries require that same source of blood and oxygen.” Very interesting. I am NOT surprised ONE BIT. Especially since the gyn started to quickly speak medical to me – and of course, I only speak English. OK, I know a little sign lang., Spanish, & Japanese, but no medical. I had to literally ask her to translate it and explain these operating preceedures to me. I know I was late – by an hour – and I am very glad she did fit me in her schedule. But being that the endocrinologist ALSO rushed me out of his office, I am to assume that this is the unfortunate traditional medical practice. Hmm.
And I will definitely check out an Ayurvedic clinic in my area. Perhaps the naturopathic dr. at the wellness clinic is familiar and does it.
And thank you too Grandma Joy! yes I know, long time no see. I get SUPER BUSY & HECTIC! Hey wait a minute – I was dealing with that in January. Oops! I DO now change my panty liners several times a day! And I also am taking that anti-yeast pill from the green grocer. Thus far, no yeast infections!
Your paragraph, “Food is extremely important, what you eat and how much……Our bodies do not know what to do with genetically modified food or chemically produced food and will throw off some of it, but the rest is stored in the fat cells and is bio-accumulative…..” sounds SOOOO TRUE! Also “” as well as what Ayuverdic seems is basically mind over matter.
“It took will power to get started on what you have done, so you know you have it, you must maintain it by feeding your body positive thoughts….and your body will react negatively to that thought and your arm will continue to hurt” This is also very true!
I really enjoyed the expierment Dr. Masuru Emoto's Messages from Water. I first saw it on the film, “What the Bleep do We Know?” It was an interesting semi-documentary and basically said you are what you think & you are MORE what you SAY! (http://dowsers.com/page52.html)
They spoke of verbally speaking your destiny. Being that many spiritual groups believe and do this; most metaphysics, Wicca’s, different Christian groups such as those name-it-&-claim-it ones, Buddhists, and many others. Obviously is some of the most diverse spiritual groups believe this and are doing it (and as you mentioned, medical science & psychology say how stress is very harmful & bad & exercise and laughter is good) then we humans must obviously be onto something!! It is VERY amazing how our human bodies react to how we feel, think, and speak. It is even more interesting how the environment around us seemingly responds to what we speak!
Well thank you both & everyone else for your support.
Now all I need to work on (or as you say – continue to work on) my time management, will power, & discipline! I guess an on-going struggle. ;D

Dr. Masuru Emoto's Messages from Water
I personally think EVERYONE may be interested by Dr. Masuru Emoto's Messages from Water, especially since you both practice & speak on your mind & body health & speaking life unto yourself.
===========================================================
Dr. Masuru Emoto's
Miraculous Messages from Water
======= I see the photos don’t come up but you can check out his sites to see the photos for yourself.(http://www.life-enthusiast.com/twilight/research_emoto.htm)======================
These photographs show the incredible reflections of water, as alive and highly responsive to every one of our emotions and thoughts.
It is quite clear that water easily takes on the vibrations and energy of it's
environment, whether toxic and polluted or naturally pristine.
Masaru Emotos extraordinary work is an awesome display, and powerful tool, that can change our perceptions of ourselves and the world we live in, forever. We now have profound evidence that we can positively heal and transform ourselves and our planet by the thoughts we choose to think and the ways in which we put those thoughts into.
-------------------------------
How water reflects our consciousness
by Stace Sharp
Water has a very important
message for us. Water is telling us
to take a much deeper look at our
selves. When we do look at our
selves through the mirror of water,
the message becomes amazingly,
crystal, clear. We know that human
life is directly connected to the
quality of our water, both within and
all around us.
The photographs and information in
this article reflect the work of
Masaru Emoto, a creative and visionary Japanese researcher. Mr. Emoto has published an important book, "The Message from
Water," from the findings of his worldwide research If you have any
doubt that your thoughts affect everything in, and around you, the information and photographs that are presented here, taken from the
book of his published results, will change your mind and alter your
beliefs, profoundly.
From Mr. Emotos work we are provided with factual evidence, that
human vibrational energy, thoughts, words, ideas and music, affect the molecular structure of water, the very same water that comprises over
seventy percent of a mature human body and covers the same amount
of our planet. Water is the very source of all life on this planet, its
quality and integrity are vitally important to all forms of life. The body is very much like a sponge and is composed of trillions of chambers
called cells that hold liquid. The quality of our life is directly connected
to the quality of our water.
Water is a very malleable substance. Its physical shape easily adapts
to whatever environment is present. But its physical appearance is not
the only thing that changes; its molecular shape also changes. The
energy or vibrations of the environment will change the molecular
shape of water. In this sense water not only has the ability to visually
reflect the environment but it also molecularly reflects the environment.
Mr. Emoto has been visually documenting these molecular changes in water by means of his photographic techniques. He freezes droplets of water and then examines them under a dark field microscope that has
photographic capabilities. His work clearly demonstrates the diversity
of the molecular structure of water and the effect of the environment
upon the structure of the water.
Snow has been falling on the earth for more than a few million years.
Each snowflake, as we have been told, has a very unique shape and structure. By freezing water and taking a photograph of the structure, as
Mr. Emoto has done, you get incredible information about the water.
Mr. Emoto has discovered many fascinating differences in the
crystalline structures of water from many different sources and different
conditions around the planet. Water from pristine mountain streams
and springs show the beautifully formed geometric designs in their
crystalline patterns. Polluted and toxic water from industrial and
populated areas and stagnated water from water pipes and storage
dams show definitively distorted and randomly formed crystalline structures.
Spring Water of Saijo, Japan
Spring Water of Sanbuichi Yusui, Japan
Antarctic Ice
Fountain in Lourdes, France
Biwako Lake, the largest lake at the center of Japan
and the water pool of the Kinki Region. Pollution is getting worse.
Yodo River, Japan, pours into the Bay of Osaka.
The river passes through most of the major cities in Kasai.
Fujiwara Dam, before offering a prayer
Fujiwara Dam, after offering a prayer
With the recent popularity in music therapy, Mr. Emoto decided to see what effects music has on the structuring of water. He placed distilled water between two speakers for several hours and then photographed the crystals that formed after the water was frozen.
Beethoven's Pastorale
Bach's " Air for the G string "
Tibet Sutra
Kawachi Folk Dance
Heavy Metal Music
After seeing water react to different environmental conditions, pollution and music, Mr. Emoto and colleagues decided to see how thoughts and words affected the formation of untreated, distilled, water crystals, using words typed onto paper by a word processor and taped on glass bottles overnight. The same procedure was performed using the names of deceased persons. The waters were then frozen and photographed.
Untreated Distilled Water
Love and Appreciation
Thank You
You Make Me Sick . I Will Kill You
Adolph Hitler
Mother Teresa
These photographs show the incredible reflections of water, as alive and highly responsive to every one of our emotions and thoughts. It is quite clear that water easily takes on the vibrations and energy of its environment, whether toxic and polluted or naturally pristine.
Masaru Emoto's extraordinary work is an awesome display, and powerful tool, that can change our perceptions of ourselves and the world we live in, forever. We now have profound evidence that we can positively heal and transform ourselves and our planet by the thoughts we choose to think and the ways in which we put those thoughts into action.

keep your eye on the fibroids
Ms. Cutie...it occurred to me to remind you that fibroids can keep growing and growing - sometimes eventually taking over the entire uterus.
It is said that certain foods - primarily fats - encourage higher estrogen levels and fibroid growth, but I'm not familiar with the exact process by which that happens. If it's the case, however, it also means you CAN starve the fibroids by eating low on the food chain and avoiding as much added fat as possible.
You will need to stay in touch with your healthcare provider so you can monitor the growth (or no growth!) of the fibroids through the years. I know many women who just watched them until they eventually shrank to nothing.
Be well!
:-) Christine
