Vitamin E
Posted by Carolyn (Pittsburgh, PA.) on 01/29/2008

After finding a lump in my breast, rushing to a doctor, I was told that I' needed to find a surgeon, before a scan was even taken. After the scan, I was informed that it was merely a cyst and I could either have it aspirated with a needle, or just leave it, as it would cause no harm. I left it alone, and remembered being told that vitamin E can cause cysts to go away. It worked and when the cyst came back a year later, I went straight to the vitamin E bottle, and next doctor appointment, there was no signs of the cyst.I take it continually now. I am currently taking vitamin E (as d-alpha Tocopheryl Acetate) 1000 IU, but if I recall, I was taking 400 IU when my cyst dissolved.

2 Tbsp black strap molasses daily and up my intake of h2o to ten cups Gorgeous skin all over, no acne outburst before my period and did not have any PMS, the period showed up unannounced. I've only been using the molasses for 3 weeks. Thanks a lot. I found simplicity lasts longer.
Apple Cider Vinegar, Blackstrap Molasses, Natto
Posted by Sharon (Los Angeles, CA) on 10/06/2007

I am a real person and believe me when I say that you can shrink your tumors without any strange and complicated concoctions. I read a lot of posts and even tested on my self in the span of two months: one with said remedies and one without.
This is what worked for me:
* Change of diet
* Exercise
* Apple Cider Vinegar & Blackstrap Molasses
* Natto. Yes. Natto.
I exercised. If you're out of shape, just walk briskly everyday. I walk every morning rain or shine, lift weights sometimes and do yoga. Whatever you like, just move and sweat!
I cut out a lot of fake dairy/ food out of my diet [the cheese on burgers, nacho sauce, powdered cheese] and only ate real food with ingredients I could pronounce without sounding I was some type of scientist.
I juiced whenever I could. Nothing crazy, just carrot and apple for example. Lots of water as well!
I had a mix of 2 TB ACV and 1 TB BSM in a large glass of water once a day.
Now here's the kicker; Natto. Natto is fermented japanese soybeans. If you' do a search, you'll find it. It looks gross to the typical American, but Natto is some powerful stuff. It's heavy in vitamin K and a compound that dissolves tumor like material in the body.
Yes. It's no joke. I eat it 3 to 4 times a week with hot rice and BBQ sauce. It makes it taste like baked beans and rice.
If you see any websites that offer Nattokinase, it's powdered Natto in pill form.
I tried everything above a month before since I have long, heavy, and tiring menstrual cycles that last 6 days+. My cycle was light and it only lasted for 4 days.
Without it, it typical, painful and heart breaking.
I'm no doctor, but I can tell you from my experience that it worked. I'm not completely cured, but my cycles are no longer heavy, I no longer have mood swings and I've had more energy now then when I was first diagnosed. I've lost weight as well.
Please go to your local Japanese food market and pay a pack of natto. It costs under 2 dollars. Try it for a month, 3 times a week...that is all I ask.
EC: We emailed Sharon, asking what kind of tumors she was referring to...
Apple Cider Vinegar

I started doing the acv rtreatment 4 days ago after finding your site. I wasn't doing it for anything specific, I just thought I'd try it and see what happened.
Today (day 4), I noticed that my period zits have nearly completely disappeared. My regular unexplained stomach/bowel bloating has nearly completely gone. Anything I eat doesn't hurt me anymore, but I have kept to my modified Atkins for weight loss. My skin is usually pretty good, but it's just lovely today. And the stubborn blackheads on my cheeks and nose area are much reduced already. Various scrubs and masks have failed to clear them in the past. I've been exercising every day for the past 4 weeks and I'm already losing weight and size, but I want to see after about a week if the acv pushes things faster along. I found acv with honey in the same bottle at my local supermarket and I'm drinking that. Then I bought just plain acv to use as a toner to help my skin from the inside and out.
As for the tooth enamel issues, I have a simple remedy. I take 3 tablespoons 3 times a day without fail (it's also helped with no more cravings and in between meal munchies - all gone). I bend my tongue so it has a well shaped indentation in it, pour the acv onto that and flick it down my throat without anything having touched my teeth. But afterwards, I rinse with my mouth with water just to be safe. For the lunch time dose when I'm at work, I put the acv in about a cup of water in a water bottle and use a straw to drink it down as quickly as possible, then I rinse my mouth with plain water again. So far no enamel issues and I'm not expecting any. I hope this has helped somebody and I will post again in about a week's time with any more results. For those people who haven't had any success with anything, keep trying, up your dosage, watch what you eat, be honest with yourself about what you put in your mouth, and give yourself some time. It's not an instant cure and everyone is different. If it's not working for you, then you may just be more resistant than most. Keep trying and don't lose hope. It will work. You might just need to give yourself 4 or 5 weeks, instead of just one, especially if your diet is normally a nutritional nightmare. Good luck.

I was drinking 2tsp ACV with 10oz water twice a day for a month or so, and then decided maybe I should stop for a while so that my body don't get lazy. Lo and behold suddenly I was a raging lunatic, irrational, just angry and irritated for the smallest things. Realized it was PMS which I missed it last month (got my period without PMS), wasn't sure if it was due to ACV but had 1 tbsp in a big glass of water in the evening and this morning I'm relaxed and normal again still couple days away from my period. So, will continue to drink it from now on, I highly recommend...
Sam-E

A few days before my period, I often find myself getting extremely anxious and paranoid. The same thing happens on day 5 of my period. Not sure what is happening to my hormones, but I don't like it! I have discovered that a 200 mg of Sam-e will immediately stop the anxiety and paranoia. I still feel quite emotional up until the day I get my period, but it is way reduced with sam-e. Great supplement. I don't take it every day, just when necessary.

Lately, I have been turning into a WITCH with PMS. I just can´t seem to control myself and my emotions---the frustration and anger. My mom`s been having me take 2 valerian root capsuls every several hours, and it is the only thing that calms me right down. It´s wonderful! I´m also in the middle of experimenting with the iodine as well! Thanks for the tip!

Fenugreek

My girlfriend suffers from bipolar mania and PMS, and I've tried hard to figure out why she can be the most perfect, wonderful, loving girlfriend for months, then turn into a mean, vicious, heartless, remorseless monster and kick me out of the house. Then she started taking an herb called fenugreek to increase milk production while breastfeeding. Within less than two weeks she transformed back into the wonderful, loving woman I fell in love with and it was better than ever! After doing more research I determined that the culprit was a neuropeptide hormone called oxytocin, the love hormone. It's responsible for milk production, bonding, trust, openness, reduction in stress/anxiety, and to some extent libido. It was a beautiful transformation! Apparently there was an intranasal form of oxytocin available previously, but now you have to get it custom made, but fenugreek seems to promote its production. I guess the key is to make sure that she takes it regularly while her oxytocin levels are high and she's still reasonable! Otherwise the bad version of her may refuse to take it!

I take ACV 2TBS in 8oz water taking sips all through the day. I was bloated all month and had water retention 10 days before my period. I was miserable i tried everything , diet change , pills homeopathic, and my husband is a physician and he gave all kind of medicines but still everything just could not solve my problem. i was annoyed all the time becuase i do not know what my exact size was and i was restless all the ime , never comfortable, in sitting or lying down. Then looking for cure on internet in homeopathy somebody mentioned earth clinic, and i went to the site, and from that day my life changed. After reading about ACV I got up and mix one TS in one glass of water and without thinking i drank it . After 10 minutes my head suddenly clear and then my migraine was gone which I have been having for the last 10 years every week and i do not know how many pandols i have taken for that.----Well for the last 2 months, I am bloat free, water retention free, migraine free, and i am feeling comfortable for the first time in last 10 years. I have lost 10 pounds and I know my exact size now. Plus I had very bad dandruff and hair acne and twice a week I have been washing my hair with ACV and after two months I am free of dandruff and acne. There was no change initially except my migrain was gone but suddenly after one month before my periods i started noticing changes. No bloatedness and water retention and i had lost weight. I am thankful to all of u, whoever started this site. This has truly helped me. My doctor husband cannot believe it.
Just try it. Even if u don't see results initially it will show some benefits, later. I am hooked for life and i am giving it to my teenager son and daughter.
Oil Pulling

Please post this where asthma sufferers can view it, this is important because I had a hard time finding a cure for asthma on your site but thank God I did. I began a regimen of
oil pulling shortly after a lingering cold went to my lungs, I just couldn't get rid of the mucus. I prayed for relief. It got even worse after a chemical pesticide was sprayed in my home for pest control. The next day after the extermination I had the worst attack of my life, I couldn't stand it anymore, so after 10 years of not having to put any poison into my lungs I had to once again use an inhaler to control the attacks. After the second night of waking up feeling side effects of nervousness anxiety and panic I decided enough was enough. I went to the computer in the middle of the night and began hours of research to find a natural cure. That's how I found this miracle of a web site. The next day I went out a purchased some sesame oil and took one table spoon 3x a day at the onset of my asthma attack and Immediately after the very first dose the mucus expelled out of my longs, and within 10 minutes what had plagued me for over 10 years was no more. Since then If I have any tightening in my chest or shortness of breath I IMMEDIATELY do the oil pulling and the problem subsides in 10 minutes or less. ~~~Oh I'd be remiss if I did not mention the side effect, I took oil pulling for Bronchial Asthma but as a result I got a dazzling white smile, sinus relief, not to mention
it remarkably helped to subside my symptoms PMS all unexpected but welcomed side effects. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! P.S. thanks my husband thanks you too, lol.

I started taking ACV about 3 weeks ago after finding this awesome website. This month, I had a short, productive period minus cramps, bloating, lethargy and moodiness!!! Hallelujah!! Also no more mood swings during the rest of the month. Been quite happy, actually, no negative thoughts or despair at all. I attribute this with the ACV. Actually I just realized how calm I've been... but this may be also due to the honey I take with it. Also has been great for my skin!! And I feel like I digest my food better and have tons of energy. What a great website!! Thanks Earth Clinic!
Apple Cider Vinegar, Molasses

I am so thankful to have found this website. For years I have had terrible PMS with severe breast pain, depression, etc. for two weeks each month and also terrible cramps during my period. I started taking a combination of 1 TBSP molasses and 2 TBSP ACV in water twice daily about one week ago (two days before my period). I was very pleasantly surprised to find that my flow was cut in half. I was disappointed, however, after everything I've read here, that my cramps were as awful as they normally are. I will keep taking the mixture twice a day in the hopes it will lessen my breast pain and cramps in the future.

One of my 12 year old twin daughters was having cramps due to her starting to have periods. I didn't have much to offer her so I gave her a cup of ice cold raw milk. Stomach cramps went away and she slept thru the night.

I went through the comments posted. Many have positive results using ACV but few had side effects also. However we don't know whether it's gone completely or it will recur again.
I am a registered homeopathic practitioner and have used homeopathic remedies and ayurvedic herbs (resonance and classical)together with best results.

Flax Seed Oil
Posted by P.b. (Cape Breton, Ns) on 02/16/2011
★★★☆☆BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
Just another comment on flaxseed oil for PMS! It worked wonders. 1000 mg/day, every day, and no mood swings (formerly debilitating for me) or breast tenderness.
There was a side effect though - it shortened my cycle by a week. I couldn't stand that so I'm off it now. But haven't found anything else yet that worked as well.
