Shrinking Fibroids Naturally Video
Filed under Hysterectomy by Dusko Savic
Here is an excellent blog Shrinking Fibroids Naturally from a woman who is having two goals at her mid-forties:
– to get rid of several large fibroids and
– to finally conceive, since she is now happily married.
She follows a detailed plan, for almost a year and does have success. Here are the results in her own words
The two my gyn is most concerned about are the ones that are impinging into the cavity
Of those, one is the posterior which shrunk from 4.8 in May (5.0 in December) to 3.2 — so that’s 33% shrinkage since May, and 36% shrinkage since December. This is helpful since it makes more room in the cavity
The other one impinging into the cavity is the submucosal, which grew slightly from 2.5 to 2.7 (8%)
Then the other three are ones that are outside the uterus or inside the muscle:
A subserosal that was unchanged from May at 5.2 (was 5.7 in December)
A second subserosal that shrank from 3.1 in May to 2.8 (9.7% decrease)
A “mid” one that increased from 2.5 in May to 3.5 (40%)
(By the way, the reason I only have stats on two of them for December is because at that time my uterus was so distorted that my gyn didn’t bother trying to measure all of them. Only in May when things were looking better did she start to attempt to map and measure beyond the two biggest ones.)
How is it that the shrinkage/growth for each fibroid is so different? My gyn had two explanations. First, the ultrasounds are rather murky and it’s difficult to measure easily or accurately and sometimes when they are close it’s hard to distinguish them from each other to tell where one starts and one ends. Second, she said “each one can have a different DNA composition so they can respond to different things.” For example, some fibroids might be more or less hormone responsive than others, and some might respond to certain treatments while others don’t. Sounds like that’s what is going on here….
The results are very good, so good in fact that as of lately, she was okayed to TTC, which means the state of the uterus is now almost normal, and that a pregnancy is finally achievable (in theory, of course). To really get pregnant, of course, many other things need be syncronized, and she is trying hard, eating the right foods, reading about enzymes and so on, so let us all wish her luck in TTC!
NB For predictions on getting pregnant, you may want to have a look at the series of my astrological videos called Dusko Savic on Pregnancy In the Natal Chart

Reiki Therapy With Energy Pack
Reiki therapy is an excellent way to improve your general health. If you already have a medical problem, Reiki therapy will also help, sometimes as the only way of healing, sometimes being just one technique amongst many that the patient needs.
On this site, How To Avoid Hysterecomy.com, I have implemented a kind of a long distance Reiki therapy called the Energy Pack. There are hundreds of people by now that have used my Energy Pack pages and the fact that they come for more is telling us that they find it useful. They usually feel it as a kind of a deeper trance, as if going to meditation, some actually fall asleep and so on. The process of receiving Reiki may be be very relaxing but it is ultimately the effects of receiving it that make the difference. So, far there was only one person that did feel exactly nothing when exposed to the Energy Pack.
Now, one of the external attributes of Reiki is that the practitioner’s hands become warm and even hot, and the patients usually marvel at that. However, there will be sessions in which nor the giver nor the receiver of Reiki feel anything. That does not mean that no energy was passed on! It might only mean that Reiki worked on something that is not connected to the physical side of being and that it was not necessary for the client to feel anything on that level. For instance, maybe Reiki went to some event in the past and works on clearing that. This is exactly why Reiki is not predictable and no one should say
“Buy ten Reiki sessions from me and your myoma or cancer of arthritis or whatever will be gone”.
Reiki therapy is an excellent all round way of getting better, so feel free to get your free Reiki therapy session without any Reiki training, Reiki courses, Reiki attunements and whatever else Reiki there is. Just go the Energy Pack page, enter your data, be transferred to another page and start receving Reiki from there.

How Else Can I Decrease My Estrogen Naturally
Here’s the question I’ve found in the mail this morning:
They want me to start taking lupron to decrease estrogen after estrogen and progesterone receptor + cancer. Tamoxifen did not work as I am premenopausal. Lupron scares me but i am not sure if it is worth the risks. How else can i decrease my estrogen naturally?
Great question and you will not find an answer strictly within the pharmaceutical world. You have to get to the root of the problem and that is how the pituitary gland works. Treat her right and everything else will slowly start to fall in place. This is a simplified view, of course, but nevertheless, the right one, and it is almost sure to be overlooked by a gynecologist, which will only think in terms of his or her specialistic profession.
You need a remedy that will affect the pituitary gland, and the actual way doesn’t matter:
– it can be herbal,
– it can be homeopathic, or a mixture of both,
– acupuncture or Su Jok,
– Reiki
and so on. If that works, fine.
The more fundamental way would be to see what emotions are whirling in your energy bodies now. Maybe the relationship you are in now needs adjustment, maybe there are monetary problems which ruin everything and your female body reacts the only way it knows how, by disseminating the energy from the emotional level deeper to the body, thus creating illness. A more proper therapy for this level would include Bach flower remedies, for example.
Finally, and this is the only way my services finally enter the picture, if you want to predict what will happen in the future AND start rectifying things and behaviours BEFORE they escalate, you may need a horoscope reading from me. To see a glimpse of how that would look like, you can go to www.DuskoSavic.com to see some videos of mine. If you order the reading, you will actually get such videos for YOUR case, with specific therapies for you both now and in the future and so on.
I am posting this to the blog because the question is very important and will be of use to many other visitors to the site. Thank you for posting it in the first place.

Pregnancy In The Natal Chart
Filed under Astrology by Dusko Savic
If you want to have children but are already diagnosed with fibroids, a natural question occurs: how to eliminate uterine fibroids before the pregnancy!? Pregnancy with fibroids will in some cases end up happily, but it is risky and prone to many problems, such as bleeding or calcified fibroids. Large uterine fibroids will make it downright impossible to get pregnant because the fertilized egg will not be able to implant itself into the lining of the uterus and thus officialy start the pregnancy.
If the fibroid is not large, the egg may implant itself successfuly and then it is a matter of chance whether the pregnancy will be full term or not, depending on the interplay of the growing foetus and the fibroid, one or more of them. Apart from the “mechanical” problems the deeper problem may be the hormonal one, because there is a reason the fibroid started to grow. Most often it is too much of estrogen that is being produced together with the excessive reactivity of estrogen receptors inside the uterus. If hormones are the problem, the pregnancy will end abruptly sooner or later, because if there is more estrogen as compared to progesterone, the lining of the uterus will grow and will fall off.
It may happen anywhere and anytime, while the woman is sleeping, or is doing ordinary house chores, or when going out to do the groceries… At least 3000 people have personally consulted with me in my capacity as a professional astrologer so far, but I still vividly remember a marital couple that came to me see whether they could they have more pregnancies and, finally, children. On Monday, they went to the gynecologist (she was in the end of the third month of the pregnancy), had everything checked out and everything was OK. Two days later, she woke up in a bed full of blood — the pregnancy was no more, without any sign of warning.
Treatment for Uterine Fibroids
The purpose of this post is to show alternative medicine methods to eliminate uterine fibroids before pregnancy, but there are other kinds of treatments for uterine fibroids. One that you will encounter often in Western medicine is fibroids treatment with Lupron (”Lupron from hell” as they call it), but is just a road to hysterectomy — guaranteed.
It is possible to eliminate fibroids through myomectomy, but that will have its own set of problems:

What To Do If You Have Recently Lost Your Baby and There Were Fibroids in the Uterus
Here is what you should take now, at least four times a day in order to overcome the emotional problems left after you lost your baby
http://www.how-to-avoid-hysterectomy.com/rescue-remedy.html
There also is a more specific combination for this case and that is:
Star of Betlehem, Gorse, Walnut, Pine, Willow, Sweet Chestnut, Cherry Plum
You should take the above combination for at least two or three months in a row, for at least four times a day.
After that, while trying to conceive again, the following combination of Bach flower remedies would come handy:
Impatiens, Star of Betlehem, Gentian, Gorse, Vervain, White Chestnut
All these methods to eliminate uterine fibroids before pregnancy could be improved in personal contact with a dedicated practitioner, be it a professional herbalist, homeopath, or a Bach flower remedy practitioner. From me, through a medical astrology reading, you can gain glimpse of how the general energy trends will apply to your particular case. For example, as a rule of thumb, flower remedies are prescribed for three months in a row and the general wisdom says to stop. But if Uranus, the planet of speed and impatiency, makes hard aspects to your Sun or Moon for the entire next year, then you should be taking Impatience for that entire year instead of only three months.

Watching and Waiting All Up To a Hysterectomy
When you have fibroids, there is a phase in which nothing seems to happen. The doctors tell you to “watch and wait” as if something fantastic and wonderful is going happen in the meantime. They don’t give you any therapy, because it is a known fact that dropping the levels of estrogen reduces fibroids, and in some cases, under the right circumstances, the fibroids may stop growing on their own. In this line of reasoning, this “dropping the levels of estrogen” is the problematic part. If it happens in your body in a natural way, perhaps because you already are in perimenopause and the onset of the menopause is just around the corner, then indeed watching and waiting, i.e. doing nothing, can set you free from fibroids. But what if you are 37 and there is no perimenopause in sight? Well, there are options and some of them are really just a roundabout way to the dreaded hysterectomy.
Your doctor may reach for a hormonal therapy which will induce a temporary menopause. The fibroids do stop to grow and you get hot flashes, dry vagina and all sorts of negative aspects of a true menopause. Once the hormonal therapy stops, the fibroids usually return with a vengeance. In western medicine, nothing else is to “help you” so the good doctor spread his hands, hangs up his shoulders and tell you about the imminent hysterectomy. You struggle and succumb after a while, and then tell everyone how it was the best thing you ever did in your entire life, how you do not know why it took you so long to decide and so on, ad nauseam and ad infinitum.
That whole situation is researched and statistically processed, so it is a realistic scenario to which “watching and waiting” is leading you to.
A gringa in New Orleans has a good post on seven reasons why she wouldn’t like to have a hysterectomy. Here is my comment on her blog:
I run a site on how to avoid hysterectomy. I can only aplaude your willingness to try something else than the western medicine and their ultimate chopping solution known as the hysterectomy.
Anything under the sun needs food to grow, and your fibroids are no exception. The food which helps fibroids to grow are your emotions. There must be some emotional leakage in your life so fixing that will make a platform for all other alternative techniques to heal you.
In terms of physiology, the emotional leakage is known as “oestrogen dominance”. Fibroids come about because the estrogen receptors are stimulated too much, regardless of your periods and usual hormonal flows. So make your emotional peace and that will be the start of healing.
What would be your reasons to not have a hysterectomy? Make a list of abstract reasons and then make a parallel list of actions you would undertake to actually avoid the hysterectomy.
See the start of the main article of this site, How To Avoid Hysterectomy, for further information about hysterectomy and methods and techniques to either cure it or to switch to a lesser, non-invasive uterus-preserving kinds of surgery.

At the Imperfect Complainer blog, we find a story of Flicka, a woman who first got pregnant and then lost her baby after a few months. She now attends a doctor and was given the following advice:
– to stop doing the D&Cs, which were uncomfortable and painful,
– to go in for a chemo therapy, or
– to go all the way down and have a hysterectomy.
Here is my comment to this situation:
Doctors deal with patients, ie with people that have some discomfort, pain, illness etc. It is all too easy to screw up and make patient feel and behave much worse instead of much better. Doctors would like us to believe that they are omnipotent, as if when they wear their official white wardrobes they become powerful wizards, be all, end all, cure all. In reality, they are just humans willing to help and they might have some ready to use knowledge that patients find welcome.
So far so good, you go to a doctor, he or she tells you what to do, and that often helps. But what about those cases when doctors cannot help, or worse, when the things they suggest and do make everything worse on their own!? That is why doctors work within procedures: each problem you throw at them, they respond through a set of fairly rigids official procedures. It is this word official that is the problem here.
What is official and how do doctors learn about what is official? Official is what some body or committee of doctors says it is official. That is, they get together, two or three doctors that are at the foremost of the research tell others what should be done and how, and a new procedure is born. Each practicing doctor is then responsible not for healing a patient but <b>for applying the right procedure in the proper way</b>. There is a huge difference between healing or curing and applying a proper procedure and that what this comment is all about.
In the above post, the doctor suggested three separate things, none of which is aimed at curing or healing or advancing the health of the patient. He or she is bound by the available procedures for the patient’s situation, but if none of the procedures is going to work, then what — he doesn’t really care! He has done everything he could according to the trade he is in, but how will that help the patient to have a child, in this case? The doctor is legally covered and he can even be sympathetic to the patient, wishing her every good in the world, but he still is bound by his chosen profession.
The senseless D&Cs really should have been stopped, or at least a hysteroscopy should have been performed, in which the doctor can actually see something inside the uterus. There are videos on YouTube ( Hysteroscopy Of Intramural Fibroids Video and Operative Hysteroscopy For Intrauterine Adhesions Video) so everybody can see what it looks like.
The chemo therapy as it is called here is not a chemo therapy in the sense of someone having cancer and then applying a chemo therapy, here it is a hormonal therapy aimed at resolving the symptoms. Finally, the most horrible idea is to have a hysterectomy because there will never be babies after that. But all this is leading to a hysterectomy, the situation that this doctor is leading his patient to has even been statistically researched, and the conclusion was that hysterectomy was inevitable when “everything” was tried, including the hormonal treatment.
We are all too ready to believe everything the good doctor says, but in this case and in all cases such as this, there is a lot to try and do inbetween the symptoms and final solution, i.e. hysterectomy. There is homeopathy, there is Reiki, Su Jok, acupuncture, enzyme mixtures, herbal remedies, crystal therapy… as well as many others, none of which is in the domain of our good doctor because the official medicine didn’t approve any of them.
I wish your friend all the best, and especially not only to get well but to have that baby finally. Life with a baby of your own is what life on this planet is all about.
Sincerely, Dusko Savic

The Best Post on Hysterectomy!?
Here is the best post on hysterectomy that I’ve seen in a long time of 3+ years that I am involved with this site.
Filed under Hysterectomy, Hysterectomy News by Dusko Savic
If you have to prepare for hysterectomy, there is plenty of advice on the Internet, and you might even want to invest into a paper book on the subject. In the comment to a post from someone who is in this situation, I have outlined two other possibilities for getting better sooner:
I see you are having a scheduled hysterectomy. As with any surgery, it pays to prepare up front. The most practical advice is to take Rescue Remedy a week or two before the surgery, and several days immediately after the surgery. It will help both with fear from surgery and with waking up from anesthesia.
Another practical advice would be to get initiated into Reiki or that somebody near you get initiated, so that you have regular access to Reiki treatments. That will considerably speed up the recovery and lessen or very soon eliminate the pains.
The fastest way to get Reiki is from my Energy Pack page on this site, and Rescue Remedy should be readily available from any online or offline store.
