Childbearing Year

Women Do Generate New Eggs during Adulthood

Women Do Generate New Eggs during Adulthood

I have been a long time admirer and follower of you and your Divine work for many years. 

You have taught me many things about healing thy self. I always knew that I was going to be a woman that would have children later in life so I was ardent about keeping myself nurtured and healthy naturally....

I am 44 and am looking to conceive a child within this next year of my life. I am excited and I know that I can have a healthy happy child.

I have done all of the work to prepare my body for this for the past 17 years of my life. Blessings to Red Clover Blossoms. 

Cross your fingers for me and wish me luck. But I intuitively feel that all will be perfect. 

Doing research on the internet, I always come across the most negative view points of a woman having a child 40 plus.

Some of these views are down right evil. The following article does not spare the negativity:

And wha la! When will the rock throwing toward women cease? When will society celebrate us and not continue to suppress us?

When will capitalism release it's firm grip on our bodies as well? 

We generate new eggs after all. And why would we not. Such inspiring research:

Exposure to Toxins and Breast Lumps

Hello Susun,

I accidently touched weed killer from my brother in laws yard when I stooped down to pull up a weed. I am breastfeeding an almost two year old. My right breast developed big large hard lumps in it. I already had fibrosytic breasts.

Now, I wonder if the weed killer turned to the breast into cancer. I am also afraid of what I am passing on to my toddler. What is the best way to detox the weed killer and cure the lumps in case they are cancer. I have never had lumps this big before. It is mainly in the right breast. I appreciate any help you can give me and my little toddler.

Hello Marley,

I can't imagine that touching weed killer would bring about cancer - especially so quickly. In this day and age, it is impossible to avoid toxins but our bodies are very resilient and if we help to support it with good nutrition, daily infusions, meditations, exercises, it is usually able to take care of itself.

You can try doing castor oil packs over the lumps, compresses of warm cabbage leaves, making sure you are avoiding caffeine, lovingly massage them with infused oils...Although it is more common in the early months of breastfeeding, you could still develop mastitis. Are you showing any other signs of infection? Fever? Redness and tenderness at breast? Susun has some remedies in her article here: http://www.susunweed.com/Article_Breastfeeding2.htm

Include in your diet, burdock root, dandelion, seaweed which are all good for helping the body remove toxins....

Here is a note on dandelion from Susun: "Dandelion is a superb ally for liver and breasts. Regular use - internally before meals and externally before sleep - helps keep breasts healthy, reverses cancerous changes. Digestion is settled and strengthened a few minutes after taking a dose. Results in breast tissue are slower, taking six weeks or more to become evident."

On burdock: "fresh root binds and removes heavy metals and chemicals."- also helpful with breast lumps

Violets have a great affinity for the breast and are useful for dissolving lumps.

Hi Susun,

I wrote to you a while back about what herbs you would suggest for me.

My history is that I am 48 years old, completely dedicated to having another child, naturally. I had my first at 40, got pregnant again at 46 and miscarried six weeks later--the diagnosis was that my lining was too thin.

I'm reading all that I can and I have recently begun a juicing regime every morning. I do yoga three times a week and would follow strictly whatever advice you might give me.

I'm familiar with many herbs recommended for fertility but feel at a loss as to dosage--nettles, raspberry tea. I think when you wrote to me you recommended False Unicorn. So far, I haven't been able to find that
locally. Perhaps you have a recommendation.

I cannot find the email you sent me a while back and was not in a great position to be planning a baby. Now I am and of course, I'm running out of time.

I would be most appreciative if you would re-send the recommendations you sent, and/or send new ones.....

Hello,

First thing Susun recommends is red clover infusions, 1-4 cups a day. And do remember it is the infusions - not a tea, not capsules, not tinctures ... You can also do the infusions, 1/2 red clover, 1/2 red raspberry leaf.

This site helps to explain the infusions and how to make them:  http://www.nourishingherbalinfusions.com - once there you can read about each of the herbs, including red clover ... all recommended while TTC ...

Not exactly what your juicing regime entails, but Susun is not a fan of juicing - she drinks infusions daily and makes sure to incorporate plenty of well cooked vegetables, whole grains, dairy, good fats - so she also does not recommend a vegan diet, especially while TTC.

Here is an article of Susun's with a lot of info:  http://www.susunweed.com/Article_Fertility_After_Forty.htm and also,http://www.susunweed.com/Article_Fertility_Herbs.htm.

Susun's recommendations for using false unicorn root would be 5-15 drops of the tincture per day. You can also make an infusion of the dried roots, drank in sips throughout the day, up to 1/2 cup daily. There is a lot of information on additional herbs and dosages in Susun's book, Wise Woman Herbal for the Childbearing Year, so you may want to check that out. You can also call Susun during her free health hotline. These are currently being held each Tuesday from 7:30pm - 9:30pm ET at 845-246-8081.
