Guest guest Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 I'm trying to determine if you would prefer those, like myself, who are attempting to heal our fibroids naturally - trying really hard to avoid surgery, should remain with the other group " Healing from Fibroids Naturally. " I was under the impression that since it's called " Uterine Fibroids, " there would be more broad acceptance of many different methods, including herbs, vitamins, supplements, exercise, other natural methods, IN ADDITION to myos. Seems the overall emphasis here is for myos. Perhaps the groups should be called " Myomectomies for Uterine Fibroids? " ------------------ (from Carla Dionne)- > Also, the other supplement that the " girls " (like Edie) have been > taking is DIM-plus (Diindolylmethane) which is a compound that helps > the body metabolize estrogens effectively which can help with > hormonal balance. DIM has been on an uphill incline in the research world since 1995. There has been some efficacy shown in prostate cancer research -- but much more needs to be studied before I would recommend anyone just " try " this potential solution on their own. For instance, it does disturb me that fish treated with DIM in studies have acquired liver cancer. Success with prostate cancer only to possibly promote liver cancer? Granted, a supplement showing success with prostate cancer would definitely be of interest to those looking into treatments for a wide variety of other hormonally-associated tumors. But, the passage you've quoted above doesn't mention DIM's role as an anti-androgenic -- which is part and parcel to " metabolize estrogens effectively " ...check PubMed to learn much, much more....
