Help....I am trying to do some research on the treatment of uterine fibroids. Does anyone know what the best websites are for this........all offers are greatly appreciated.

I just did some research on this myself. Let me make sure I have a few facts straight and will post more later.

*Start by looking up links on progesterone cream. Real progesterone, not those lethal PharmaCartel warped molecules, progestins.

*Many women and young girls and even babies have "estrogen dominance" with a host of bad effects including fibroid tumors. Well, boys and men have estrogen overdose too - it's one of the things that causes man-boobs and small to micro genitalia.

*Plastics and a wide range of other molecules have estrogenic effects and play a role in this.

Hi, I was diagnosed with fibroids about 1 1/2 yrs ago, I was advised to have the hormone releasing coil, which I did stupidly against my intuition(big lesson) anyway had it taken out a week later, realised that I had lost my way and began meditating on my chakras, to cut a long story short, they have now gone All about being out of balance, DIS EASE of the body. Have you tried reflexology, reiki, cranial sacral therapy, if not try it , it will definately help, mainstream medicine will never help you.

http://www.fibroid101.com/dose.htm

by Elizabeth Smith, M.D.

John Lee, M.D. treats uterine fibroid tumors ( myoma ) with 40 mg/day of natural progesterone for the first 2-3 months. After the uterus reverts to normal, then he maintains the patient on 20 mg/day. The ovary usually produces 20 mg/ of progesterone. During pregnancy, the placenta produces 400 mg/day of progesterone. Thus, there is a very large therapeutic range for the use of progesterone. Natural progesterone is quite safe to use in doses from 20 mg/day to 400 mg/day. Natural Progesterone is the same molecule that your body produces. In contrast, many of the synthetic estrogens and progestins are chemically modified from the natural molecule and are dangerous to use. See Progestins. Thus, Natural Progesterone is safe for you to use in a very large varying dose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Summary

* Use a progesterone cream that gives you 40 mg/day of natural progesterone per day for the first 2-3 months
* If the progesterone cream/oil contains 500 mg/day, for the first 2-3 months use two ounces of cream per month; this is about one (1) teaspoon per day.
* If the progesterone cream/oil contains 500 mg/day, after the uterus reverts to normal after 3-12 months, use one ounce of cream per month to maintain a healthy uterus.
* Apply the cream during the two weeks before menses for 14 days if premenopausal (before menopause)
* Apply the cream/oil for three weeks on and one week off if postmenopausal (after menopause)

Xenoestrogens the cause of Uterine Fibroid Tumors ( Myomas )

How to avoid Xenoestrogens

Uterine Fibroid Tumors ( Myomas ) are provoked by Xenoestrogens are found in everyday synthetic materials. These materials were previously thought to be inert. Cut out the xenoestrogens from your life.

by Elizabeth Smith, M.D.

Xeno literally means foreign. So xenoestrogens means foreign estrogens. Some of the 100,000 registered chemicals for use in the world have hormonal effects in addition to toxic and carcinogenic effects. Also the synergistic effects are known to occur but also are largely exactly unknown. The field of xenohormones is new, and only been in existence since about 1991.

Critics have proclaimed that these chemicals are for the most part "weak". The body's hormones are at levels of parts per trillion. However, many of the chemicals that affect the hormone systems are routinely found in the serum after sauna at parts per billion. In other words, these chemicals that affect the hormone systems of the human body occur at 100 to 1000 times greater concentration than that of the normal human hormones. One researcher demonstrated that two "weak" estrogens may act synergistically to give a strong estrogen response. Some of these Xenoestrogens like DDE (a metabolite of DDT) may persist in the body fat for decades. Many of these mimicking hormones were previously thought to occur in pesticides. However, many of the newly discovered xenoestrogens are found in every day previously thought to be inert materials.

Some of the following is information taken from Our Stolen Future by Theo Colborn:

{Karen comment: the article contains more info under each heading}
DDT
Plastics, Spermicide, Detergent, and Personal Care Products
Plastic Drinking Bottles and Plastics used with food
Detergent Breakdown Products
Canned Foods
Commercially raised Beef, Chicken and Pork
Birth Control Pills
Preservative Methyl Paraben in Skin Lotions and Gels
Shampoos that Purposely Contain Very High Amounts of Estrogen
Herbicide
Plastic IV Bags
5 Out of 6 Chemicals Used to block UV in Sunscreen are Estrogenic

Summary

From a strictly research point of view there may not be enough evidence to create public outrage and shift public opinion. It is a known medical fact that estrogen stimulates breast cancer. However, it is disconcerting to note that the breast cancer rate is now 1 out of 8 women (in San Francisco, it is 1 out of 7 women) where before breast cancer in the 1950's was 1 out of 20. Dr. Lee believes that overdose of estrogen either by pill or by xenoestrogens is the cause of uterine fibroids. So what do we do?

* Use glass or ceramics whenever possible to store food and water. Heat up your food using a glass or ceramic bowl covered with dish. When plastic is heated, it diffuses very rapidly into food.
* Use a simple detergent with less chemicals; Nature Clean is a good choice for both laundry detergent and dish washing detergent.
* Simple Soap is a safe choice for shampoo and a body soap.
* Use natural pest control not pesticides.
* Avoid Synthetic Chemicals - Healthy Living in a Toxic World by Cynthia Fincher PhD. is a good place to start.
* Don't use herbicides; use a cup of salt in a gallon of vinegar.
* Buy hormone free meats to eat.
* Buy "Organic" produce, produce grown without pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizer or hormones.
* Use Condoms without spermicide for Birth control instead of Birth Control Pills. Use Natural Progesterone instead of HRT.
* In general, the hormones taken orally are first pass metabolized by the liver 80%-90%. However, when these hormones are applied to the skin, the hormones are directly absorbed by the body. Thus, any skin dose is 10 times that of an oral dose. The vast majority of skin lotions and creams use the parabens as a preservative. Avoid them at all costs. Instead apply a vegetable oil right after a shower to hydrate the skin and lock in the moisture.

The very important changes to make are do NOT eat HOT plastic with food. Change your laundry detergent, no fabric softener, change your lotions, soaps, shampoos, and makeup. Avoid Coffee.

Wow......thank you all for your helpful responses. Karen I had completely forgotten about the Estrogen issue. Its been a few years since I've dealt with it. I was on Bio-identical for about 3yrs. I highly recommend this route for anyone who is having a difficult menopause. I am also very careful about my diet, don't use makeup, perfumes, & I now make my own laundry det. I do lots of my own home made cleaners etc. Still our air is so polluted, we can't seem to escape toxins anymore. I am off now to do some reading.
