Re: progesterone cream anyone?-best advice, change your diet

[Guest guest]

this subject comes up often

A ob/gyn who I went to for a second opinion who is also one of the

few researchers in the area of fibroids told me specifically to stay

away from any hormone influencing medication as the one thing that

all seem to agree on is that fibroids are fed by hormones. Her hope

for future answers seemed to lie in genetic research. The

interesting thing is that every fibroid, even within the same woman,

has different genetic markers.

I think that the best advice is to watch what you eat and drink.

Here is the best info I have come across regarding

fibroid " maintenance " lifestyle measures on the U of C site
