    Hi Colleen, i will tell you that plain and simple it's the food we eat. The chicken for one, all of the extra hormones they give them and the chemicals we take in daily. Food is not the same as what it used to be. People don't want to believe that the type of food we eat plays a big part of our illness, high blood pressure, heart conditions. Fasting can cure it but let's be honest the food is the problem.

      True, I doubt seriously that being black increases the likelyhood of fibroids. Most women in America are affected due to the US food industry. Now Black women may not have the best healthcare to remedy the issue early on.

    I have been diagnosed with fibroids. I cut out chicken, switched out my deodorant, cut soda, started juicing. Within a few months or so my cycle was back to “normal”. From 10 day periods to 5.
    The doctors want to take my womb due to my age, but I want all of my body parts. Unless there is something really serious, I am trying to shrink them naturally.

      @@4thebees Hi there! thank you so much much. I will look into it. I have recently purchased a juicer and I have been juicing every week and I feel like my fibroids are starting to shrink. At one time I couldn’t lay on my stomach for feeling two big knots but now I can lay on my stomach (it has been 2 months since I completely cut out sugar) and I don’t feel the knots as much as I did at once. I also heard on a podcast about fibroids that green tea is helpful but I saw on a different CZcams video that green tea is not helpful so I’m not sure which way to go with that so I just decided to give it a try and I bought the green tea extract online. I have been juicing daily, upping my omega-3‘s, using the green tea extract, and other supplements, including vitamin D. I am so hopeful that this will help either way I want to improve my health. I had to cut out sugar in order for this experiment to be effective. I do feel like things are starting to change, and my fibroids are starting to shrink. I’m hoping to continue to see progress. 🤞

    Hi Colleen, thank you for sharing your story. I was diagnosed with fibroids at the age 42 . It landed me in the hospital extremely anemic. They wanted me to have a hysterectomy because I had so many fibroids. I said "hell no". I decided to fast 21 days straight after listening to Dr Goldstein who runs a fasting clinic here in Northern California name True North. My fibroids disappeared per a "ultrasound" and I am no longer anemic per my bloodwork. I am 51 and I still have regular periods and side note I have never had any children. Your channel is encouraging me to have a "fasting life style" for better health and weight loss. I started doing alternate day fasting a week ago and lost 6 pounds already and I feel great. .thank you so very much

Come june, I was still bleeding!! The moment I started taking vitamin D, my period stopped a week later! Now I take vitamin D3, magnesium, vitamin k2, and a multivitamin. I still get long periods and sometimes i get a period that lasts a week. But it eventually turns off. However, since I have a huge fibroid and have PCOS, I still sometimes bleed in between. But im.glad I don't have periods that lasts several months.

    Colleen, I am so ptoud of you, because sometimes people fast, and eat very poorly on their feast days. We need to be health conscious through and through. Our bodies need the proper nutrients. Magnesium is so important for our bodies. I learned that lesson 4 yrs ago. I damaged the nerves in my feet, and was using a motorized cart. I began to pray, and research. I learned that magnesium was good for pain, and the nerves. I started making magnesium cream, and also taking vitamin b12. I also started eating a lot of plant based meals, and incorporated juicing. I was amazed. My feet began to heal. I no longer have to use carts. This made me a believer, when it comes to diet. I also changed my diet, due to thyroid issues, which I shared in a previous post. Nutrition matters. Keep up the good work!

I’m also experiencing most of the symptoms you shared in the video. I’m 36 with no children and I have been concerned about what can be taken place. I’m doing a fast with my church and opted to do a water fast. I know they said women with no children are at a higher risk, and black Women are at an even higher risk. So, I figured it’s a fibroid issue and I’m trying to see how the water fast will help. I did a 5 day water fast when I was hospitalized with jaundice with some infection or issue the doctors couldn’t figure out. It worked. I also did a 5 days water fast around 2018 when I felt two pebble sized lumps in my breast. They shrunk. So I’m figuring this could help. I’m no doctor, just sharing my experience, so hopefully this will work.

    While I was pregnant they told me it was caused by hormones so will shrink/grow accordingly and is definitely stress related as well. I had (probably still have) 2 small fibroids while pregnant with twins 😢... I also developed a small lump of fat on my left tricep (lipoma ) during my pregnancy and still have it . All hormone related! I have post partum hypothyroidism though I'm very slim built, it's all hormone related. I was living in a very stressful environment and smoking weed for sleep/appetite but was extremely physically fit, been only eating egg and fish as animal protein for 10+ yrs so stress definitely caused my hormonal imbalances.
    Now my thyroid medicine dosage is decreasing, my menstrual doesn't feel worse than laboring with twins, my appetite is better and all because i feel safe so my body isnt in fight or flight mode. I did a fruit fast for 72hrs and my skin was gorgeous as well lol. Should definitely do it the first 3days of every month with prayer/mindfulness rituals.

    Hey! I am Jamaican and I too was diagnosed with high cholesterol. I refused the statins the doctor suggested. I did some research and found that raw pumpkin consumed for 30 days would help, as well as switching from the “bad cooking oils” to cold pressed olive oil. I blended the raw pumpkin in the mornings after adding some water. I didn’t strain anything as it turned out into a smoothie. I didn’t go for 30 days, I did only 15 days because you know we Jamaicans eat/prefer our pumpkins cooked. But, afterwards my cholesterol normalized and has been normal since. I had been using cold pressed olive oil since the diagnosis so maybe that played a role as well.

    Hey sis- thanks for the transparency . I’m glad you’ve decided to go WFPB- FYI- when you eat meat and seafood you’re adding the hormones if that animal into your body- that’s hormones on top of hormones. Also try eliminating overt oils- oil is not a whole food- it is processed. Instead of eating olive oil -eat the intact olive. You are beautiful .

    I am re-watching this video since you uploaded it. I returned from the doctor and he informed me that I have one small fibroid. When I enquired if there was anything I could change in my lifestyle to reduce or at least stabilize the fibroid, he said no and said it is all due to genetics. Well, I am not satisfied with that so I remembered you in this video here. I have been on ADF since September after binging your videos but I am considering a 72 hour fast as well. Tell me there is nothing I can't do to help a situation and you better believe I will find a way (or at least do my best to improve)! I hope you are in improved health, Colleen!💙

    Hi Colleen. I have fibroids too and I do think fasting helped with regulating my bleeding. However you said that the 72 hour fast shrunk your fibroid. I’m not sure if you can tell that without an ultrasound or some type of scan if it actually shrunk. I can also attest to how it helps with bleeding, not sure about actual shrinking the fibroid. I started real fasting with your September challenge my September period did not come as early and lasted 5 days.Before it was coming 21 days apart and lasting 7-8 days. Now this month it was 26 days apart. Im going to give it till next summer then going to get follow up ultra sound to see if it shrunk. Im praying it does shrink it because I don’t want another surgery

    Sorry to hear you have this but the information you share is great. I have fibroids. Did a myomectomy and those suckers grew back. They wanted me to have a hysterectomy but I’m not doing that. A holistic doctor made these recommendations that helped: liquid iron (flora vital brand), adrenal support (jigsaw adrenal formula which includes vitamin c), cortisol manager (to support stress response). Also natural menstrual products! She recommended honey pot brand and it was a game changer in terms of reducing bleeding. The large commercial brands contain chemicals that actually promote bleeding (at least that’s what she told me). I use much fewer pads than I used to since switching brands.
    Other things I did: got rid of chicken and dairy. I now only eat chicken if I’m traveling outside the US, so it is a rare treat now. I also added zinc. Zinc is HUGE for mood boosting. I had postpartum depression and the combo of zinc plus magnesium was like someone flipping a switch and shutting all that down. Zinc and copper work together. If you have too much of one you’ll be out of balance. Definitely recommend
