Herbal/Fruit-Infused Water May Help Fibroids Shrink

  

      As I have been researching and educating myself about Uterine Fibroids and how to shrink/ dissolve them, my focus has been to do it by natural means. Over the last 2 years, Acupuncture has helped to dramatically decrease my large uterine fibroids. This was the initial option I chose after pondering the prescribed hysterectomy.  Having stopped Acupuncture sessions during this last year, I've experimented with some things, and researched specific herbs, fruits and vegetables that are used in extract form in many 'Fibroid Cure' supplements. After a lengthy review of 18 of the more popular 'Fibroid Cures' that exist, I paid attention to the ingredients, as well as the customer reviews (over time) of the products.  These ingredients were in the form of enzymes  that were derived from food sources. Since the price of these supplements turned me off, I decided to incorporate the foods from which the enzymes were derived into my diet to see if their natural properties would work as well as they seemed to in extract form. I figured if a certain vegetable or fruit had inherent properties to perform or enhance the performance of a bio-activity that would assist in getting rid of my fibroids and help my body get into a healthier state, why not just consume it with some frequency to see if it works.

     I began experimenting in October (2014) with an infusion of a specific mix of  fresh fruits and herbs that (through research, trials and traditional usage) promoted:

• fibrinolysis*
• support of the liver and kidneys
• vitamins, antioxidants
• blood cleansing and increased circulation

*Fibrin develops naturally in the body, but when there is an excess, fibroids/tumors occur.  Fibroids are made from bands of fibrin that adhere to red blood cells.  Agents or enzymes that can break down fibrin are referred to fibrinolytic, or are said to be able to promote fibrinolysis.

      I drink about 3-4 12 oz. cups of this water by adding more water when I've drunk half of  the cup. The herbs and fruit consistently marinate in the water, infusing it with healing enzymes. So, instead of taking  3 or 4 supplements 3 times a day to promote some shrinking action on the fibroids, drinking the water throughout half the day is more natural, and easier....plus the only side effect (which is good), is that toxins are being flushed out of the body (and I make a couple more trips to the bathroom).

     Since doing this routine with the infused water 5 - 6 days each week since the beginning of October, I have noticed a significant decrease in the size of my biggest fibroid mass on my right, as well as a complete decrease on my left side - I don't even feel fibroids on my left side anymore!

     This water infusion recipe has been working for me, and because it is made with natural ingredients, if you decide to try it, there should be no harm. I began notice softening of my fibroids on my left side within a week of drinking the infusion. To be clear, I also drink 1 tbls. of Blackstrap Molasses, and ACV with about 6 oz. of water alternately every other day.

 Before taking any supplement or product (or trying a natural water infusion), please consult your Medical Professional. This blog is for informational purposes, and does not take responsibility for the action of its readers. The blogger can only attest to what results have occurred from a personal standpoint.


Ingredients to infuse:

Use room temperature or warm (90 degrees), filtered water (if possible) - 12 to 16 oz.
2 to 3 fresh pineapple cubes (2 - 2.5 inch cuts)
4 raspberries
1 inch cut off of fresh ginger root or 4 pieces (slices) of crystallized ginger
2 to 3 stalks of cilantro (preferable) or parsley
1 to 2 branches of fresh rosemary
1 lemon wedge (one-fourth of a lemon)

     Add all ingredients to water and let stand for about half an hour so that the enzymes can seep into the water, then sip.  Note: If the water is hot, it will destroy the enzymes and nutrients. If using crystallized ginger, naturally there will be a pleasant sweetness from the sugar. To cut down on the sugar content, rinse crystallized sugar slices with water before adding to cup. As you sip down to half of a cup, continue to add more water. The fresh, earthy(grassy) and fruity taste is refreshing on the palette. Also, you will feel motivated to drink more water with the infusion because it:

• works to dissolve the fibroids - raspberry and pineapple
• cleans out your organs - parsley or cilantro
• keeps you hydrated - water content
• addresses inflammation/bloating - ginger, rosemary
• alleviates clot formation - raspberry
• eases fibroid symptoms - ginger, rosemary, pineapple
• helps you expel the excess estrogen and toxins - lemon, parsley, cilantro

     All of the ingredients, when infused in water can offer these benefits, providing an internal environment that is anti-fibroid. (See individual benefits of ingredients by pressing links)

     With these factors working together from the properties of the fruits/herbs, results of softening/shrinking fibroids have occurred for me.

     I will offer an update before the beginning on the new year with (hopefully) continued shrinkage.

     (When I am home from work, I may drink green tea or half juice/half water. I have been taking  Vitamin B, D3, a Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc combo, low-dose Iron, and Milk Thistle. My diet is mostly vegetarian, cooked and raw, and I concentrate on eating foods that are anti-estrogenic, and mostly alkaline).

     If you decide to try, feel free to let me know how the infusion works for YOU.




Happy Health!
