Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I happened to be reading this heath book and came across an ad for a chinese herbal remedy called U-O-Clear, which claims to shrink Uterine Fibroids and Ovarian Cysts. The website is www.magiherbs.com Anyone have any experience taking this or any other chinese herbal blend? Surgery and other treatments aren't really an option right now because of the cost (no insurance), so I'm looking for other " natural " alternatives and am specifically interested to see if anyone has tried this. Thanks, Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Hi Debbie, I researched alternatives too for the very same reason. Chinese medicine is interesting to me. It treats the " systems " of the body and seems to be more proactive rather than reactive. One site I visited said fibroids have been around for centuries and said it was stagnant energy or trauma. (Makes sense if you believe in the whole mind/body connection.) I do take Dong Quai and other herbal remedies on occasion. If you do decide to try U-O-Clear, please let me know how it goes. On another note, I've also done some research on nutrition and diet although the doctor who diagnosed me said changing my diet wouldn't help. I'm not a doctor but I didn't agree. It is my understanding that diets high in sugar and caffeine or low in fiber affect the body's ability to regulate estrogen levels. I've also read that a sluggish digestive system can also cause toxins and hormones to stay in the body. I have a large [degenerative] fibroid and the suggested treatment was Lupron and then surgery. I'm 32 and have no children but would like the option. I don't really want to wait but I really believe I will find a way to have the surgery. I am relatively new to this list but I've been so enlightened! Thanks to those who've shared their experiences as they go through surgeries and other procedures. Sincere Regards, - A.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 Hi Debbie, I have not heard of U-O-Clear, but I did take a Chinese herbal remedy recommended by an Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbologist for almost a year. I'm afraid it had no effect. It has been about 7 or 8 years now, and the last 3 years have been in Menopause. I am seriously considering having surgery to get rid of my fibroids (one is cantaloupe sized and the other is grapefruit sized). Although it didn't work for me, I can't generalize to anyone else. But I would caution you to be very careful. I quit taking the Chinese herbs when I read an article about the lack of regulation and quality control in medicines and herbs coming out of China. One in particular had been found to be carcinogenic (I don't remember which -- it wasn't an ingredient in the pills I was taking). -- Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
