Uterine Fibroids are benign tumours of muscle and connective tissue that grow in or around the walls of a woman’s uterus. One major cause of this is too much production of estrogen.
Fasting is a deliberate abstinence from physical gratification to achieve a greater spiritual goal. It is intentionally denying the flesh in a defined period in order to gain a response from the spirit.
According to William Esser, it is a natural process. It is the greatest gift which can be given to a overburdened, sick body without benefit of any other form of therapy or treatment.
Intermittent fasting is an increasingly popular eating pattern. It involves not eating or sharply restricting the food intake for certain periods of time.
It has been linked to a range of potential health benefits, including short term increases in human growth hormone and changes to gene expression. It is also linked to longevity and lower risk of disease.
When properly utilized, fasting becomes a safe and effective means of maximizing the body’s self-healing capabilities. Alan Goldhammer of Nutrition Studies states that there were many patients who required a period of supervised fasting to achieve their health goals. Fasting made achieving their goals easier.
People who undertake a fast in a supervised setting tend to achieve good health faster than those who do not undertake a fast. Changes that may take months or years with careful eating and diet may occur much faster if a supervised fast is utilized.
Fasting can be especially important in situations where drugs or surgery have been recommended. A proper fast will often dramatically reduce the size and effect of uterine fibroids. Ovarian cysts and cervical dysplasia also respond favorably to fasting.
According to Dr. Ben Kim, one guest at a fasting clinic was startled to find that on the seventh day of her water-only fast, she could no longer feel a uterine fibroid that she had been carrying around for a long time.
One other guest also fasted on raw fruits, vegetables, water, herbs, and homemade juices and teas for 40 days and nights with meditation and prayers three times a day. The result, according to her, was astounding because the tumors shrunk faster over the period compared to the herbal treatment that she has been on for five months. Thus, the guest recommended using fasting if one does not opt to use surgery or medication for the time being.
There are many studies about fasting. In one study, a woman who had suffered chronic constipation for more than 20 years fasted with Alan Goldhammer, a doctor, for a period of 12 days. On the fifth day of feeding after the fast, she was having spontaneous, normally formed bowel movements and she continued to have them since.
But not all people can be a candidate for fasting since not every person or condition will respond to conservative treatment. There are a lot of factors to consider before a fast is recommended, like medical history, and diagnostic or laboratory tests. The doctor must perform a physical examination on the patient and thus make appropriate recommendations.
