Lipomas
A caller on blogtalkradio says she has multiple Lipomas (A fatty lump most often situated between the skin and underlying muscle layer.), on her thighs she asks what she can do herbally. Susun tells about her Lipoma and says that there is nothing that will really get rid of them. She says that things that work on cysts may help, including red clover oil and hot castor oil packs.

Hello Susun
I am 40 years old and am currently in treatment for breast cancer. Because chemotherapy is part of the path I have chosen, I am now in early onset menopause.
As my symptoms progress, I have been looking for resources to help me along. I am looking for support as I try to make sense of this sudden thrust in to a different stage of life. (I, of course, have your menopause book.) But what I am finding is mostly geared toward women in their Crone years. I am the mother of two young children! I am still very much in my Mother years. Most of the main books on the subject only have a page or two dedicated to women in my situation.
Do you have any resource suggestions for me? Do you have plans to include a comprehensive section on early onset menopause in revised editions of your book? In my humble opinion, it is greatly needed!
Hello,
The suggestions in Susun's book absolutely can be used whether going through menopause naturally or if it is brought about prematurely... So I wouldn't hesitate to use them for various issues, whether emotional issues -- anger, depression or physical -- hot flashes, dry vagina, etc. You might also want to look into our forum at www.healingwiseforum.com. We have a room dedicated to menopause and I know that we have had younger women post in there ... might be a good place to look for support.
blessings,

Dear Susun...I am 42 and severely disabled by Lyme. I started Buhner's protocol. I also have endometriosis, fibroids, and very heavy bleeding. I learned about Vitex from this site and tried it. I just got my first period since being on the herb and already have a wonderful improvement. Now I need to decrease the duration and intensity of the bleeding. The bleeding got even worse since Lyme came into the picture. Doc said I need a hysterectomy, but I'm too sick now for surgery:) what may I add to shorten the bleeding?
Hi,
First thing, several tinctures that are helpful would be Shepherd's purse, Witch hazel and Lady's mantle. You would take a dropperful, 4-6 times a day. If bleeding is extreme, it should start slowly within minutes and within 48 hours if leaking. I find shepherd's purse tincture very helpful for the immediate issue and lady's mantle as a nice ally for long-term. When 10-30 drops of the lady's mantle tincture were taken 3 times a day 1-2 weeks before menstruation, it prevented flooding altogether.
Astringent uterine tonics such as red raspberry leaves, garden sage and black haw bark can help. Make an infusion of these herbs (you can combine or use single herb rotated) - drink a cup or more a day at either room temperature or cooler for best effect. Women with fibroids also have found great relief from using drinking shepherd's purse as an infusion, used daily. Same with witch hazel infusion.
Some things to keep an eye on, if you drink red clover infusions, don't drink more than 1 quart a week - this will help with fibroids, but if you drink more than that amount, or use tincture, it can increaase bleeding tendencies of fibroids. Strengthening the liver with dandelion and yellow dock helps metabolize strong estrogens into weak ones, reducing fibroids. Also both dandelion and yellow dock are tremendous sources of usable iron, something you need to address if having heavy and/or constant bleeding. Add cooked dandelion greens to diet, put yellow dock root vinegar on salads, or use tincture. Also, I don't know how long you have been taking Vitex, but continuing with the tincture will work on decreasing flooding and is helpful for fibroids. It is a slow-working treatment and can take months before manifesting results. I am also including a link to Susun's article on fibroids that may be useful.
blessings,
Kim
