Sweet Susun Weed,
I have just been informed that I need a coloscopy following my pap smear results. This scares me as I wish to have a healthy cervix. Any advice to help me be the Shaman of my own healing would be deeply appreciated.
Cosmick Blessings from the Heart...
Greetings,
Usually in sitations such as this, positive visualization and comforting rituals do help a lot with reducing our fear. If you are feeling particularly anxious, I would try using motherwort tincture as needed to help you stay calm and heart centered.
From Susun: "In all likelihood you are fine and your next Pap smear will be normal. Remember that a Pap smear is not a diagnostic test. It is a screening test. About five million American women every year are told that their Pap smear contains abnormal cells (dysplasia), but less than one percent (16,000) are actually diagnosed with cervial cancer."
If you are not already, I would begin some of Susun's steps for an anti-cancer lifestyle. Some of her words below.
"And, I avoid soy; it may encourage abnormal cell growth by disrupting thyroid functioning. And I let the anti-cancer trio -- red clover, dandelion, and burdock -- as infusions or in tinctures, power up my immunity and help chase away cancer. Chinese herbalists remind us that abnormal cells are overheated and we do well to avoid peppers and hot spices like ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg when we have dysplasia."
Colposcopy is a close examination of the cervix — with magnifying binoculars — after it has been bathed with acetic acid (vinegar), which turns HPV-infected tissues bright white. The vast majority of doctors will assume that you have agreed to a biopsy if you agree to a colposcopy. Biopsy forceps will be used to “chomp” out pieces of your cervical tissue for microscopic examination by a pathologist. You can refuse the colposcopy, or clearly state that you refuse a biopsy as part of it. Ask for a HPV-DNA test instead. From Susun's new course "Your Healthy Cervix: The Gateway to Life"
The more likely cause of abnormal Pap smear results is inflammation or a vaginal infection. Do let us know if something does come up after your test and we will be happy to point out any ideas and options that we know of. You are welcome to send more details to our email at [email protected].
