Shrinking Ovarian Cysts

Many people with candida, particularly women and that is who typically is struck hardest with candida, have menstruation difficulties and extreme hormonal imbalances. Many of these people also develop cysts on their ovaries, and I have one which causes discomfort at times. Looking at the following article giving tips on how naturally to eliminate an ovarian cyst makes me think that the carefully followed candida diet is a key to eradicating, eliminating or at least controlling the growth of the cyst; however, some other tips such as careful use of laundry detergents and herbs help too. I liked the tips, particularly comments on herbs for helping to regulate the hormones, as I've had issues for years, long before I developed full-blown candida, so I am reposting the article from Healthy Holistic Living: 

8 Easy Ways to Shrink Your Ovarian Cysts Naturally

Before taking medication or doing surgery, consider these healthier alternatives to curing ovarian cysts. A natural option can not only reduce your cyst, but it can also prevent your cyst from coming back.
When an ovarian cyst is identified in your body, your physician will take the “watch and wait” approach to see if the ovarian cyst goes away on its own. Most of them do. Medications for pain are prescribed in the meantime, with surgery being the final step.

Plus it saves you a lot of money. Skip the medical bills and see how you can take control of your health and well being.

Natural Prevention and Remedies

The key to getting rid of an ovarian cyst is to equalize your hormones and diminish factors that contribute to your cyst. Too much exposure to estrogen and xenoestrogen, (estrogen imitators,) can disrupt ovulation and lead to the formation of cysts.

Avoid:

Soy products:

They contains compounds that mimic estrogen, creating a hormonal imbalance.

Heating foods in plastic or storing hot foods in plastic:

There are xenoestrogen chemicals in this material that get released into your food when heated. Use glass containers instead.

Plastic water bottles:

For the same reasons you’d avoid plastic containers.

Parabens in skin care products:

They are found in many healthy foods at low levels and your metabolic system makes them less strongly estrogenic, but applying parabens directly on your skin allows the body to absorb parabens while skipping the metabolic process. 

Try to:

Eat only organic meats and dairy:

To avoid additives in these products that can raise estrogen levels and promote the growth of cysts.

Use natural detergents:

Many laundry detergents contain xenoestrogen chemicals that can seep through your skin while you’re wearing your clothes.

Use herbal remedies:

These herbs can support a proper menstrual cycle, reduce ovarian pain, increase circulation to the reproductive organs and support healthy liver function. Our livers help to rid us of toxins and excess hormones.
  • Maca root: helps the body produce progesterone. Take 2,000-3,000mg daily.
  • Black cohosh root: helps to regulate menstrual cycle and relieves ovarian pain
  • Milk thistle seed: supports hormonal balance and liver health
  • Tribulus: normalizes ovulation
  • Vitex (tree berry): regulates hormonal balance, promotes ovulation, and improves timing of menstrual cycle
  • Yarrow: relieves pelvic congestion and improves timing of menstrual cycle
Do not use herbal remedies if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Use a castor oil pack:

A castor oil pack is a cloth soaked in castor oil and placed on the skin to enhance reproductive circulation and promote the healing of bodily tissues and organs. You can make your own at home, just visit here.
Note: Castor oil should not be consumed or applied to broken skin. Also, avoid using this if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or menstruating.

Greenday Veggie Snacks: Okra, Onion, Pumpkin

I am a bit in love with my new little discovery at the international food mart in Itaewon, Seoul. The owner is from Pakistan and gets some of the oddest items mostly from the US, SE Asia, and the Middle East. Of course there's very little that I can eat because my diet is so limited, but my latest foray there unearthed some vegetable snack crackers imported from Thailand ... the brand, Greenday. There were three flavors available: okra chips, onion chips, and pumpkin chips. With only two ingredients listed on the package (their respective vegetable and then 2% rice bran oil), I had to give them a try. Not sure if I'd label them as only 2% oil though as they left a greasy film on my fingers, but they certainly are a nice treat. The okra and onion chips are my favorites. I find them much more flavorful than the pumpkin chips, but then my tastebuds prefer salty and sour to sweet so that's no great surprise to me in the preference. There's not much in a package (okra - 25g;...

WARNING: Too Many Supplements May Up Cancer Risk

About three years ago I went to Hippocrates Health Institute. At HHI the lifestyle is 100% raw food and taking care of one's total dietary (includes supplements) health as well as total lifestyle changes, e.g. water, exercise, sunlight, sleep, etc. During the three week program, all participants were encouraged to sign a self-contract that toothpaste, shampoo, and cosmetics would even be the pure and natural kind. People, if they weren't on serious prescriptions, were even encouraged under doctor's guidance not to take their meds and especially to lay off their "health-supporting" supplements. Wow, Brian Clement, the program director and author of several books including Supplements Exposed , told about some people having such serious withdrawals from their supplements that they would have tremors and other disturbing side-effects. Unlike what marketing strategies suggest, these "healthy supplements" really aren't all that healthy! Warni...

Insights on the Ketogenic Diet

From what I'm seeing on the Internet the ketogenic diet is a raging buzz word. It certainly was not so nine years ago when I first got so sick that almost everything I ate made me feel unspeakably ill. I can only say that the diet I undertook to deal with my symptoms was a desperate avoidance of almost every kind of reactionary food. Basically I became a grass grazer (lots of green leafies, coconut oil (which I discovered gave me energy and kept me from being too much of a skeleton) and just a few other simple foods -- See my horrendously constrained, but wonderfully restoring diet . Yes, call it strict, but it helped me tremendously!) Later a friend whose son has Doose Syndrome, a very rare form of epilepsy , looked at this blog and wrote back commenting on my keto diet. Never heard of a keto diet before so looked it up, and looked up the treatment for people with Doose. It was a bit hard to understand, eating to feed the brain ketones to burn instead of glucose that most peo...
