Amy's Opinion: In October, I found out that I had a uterine fibroid. No cancer, thankfully. No symptoms either. And, despite the fact that fibroids run in my family, I decided to go to an Ayurvedic practitioner to utilize the ancient Indian medicine to shrink, and ultimately eliminate the fibroid. Perhaps you've heard of Deepak Chopra? He's probably best known for bringing Ayurveda here to the West. In any event, I started taking this Women's Support formula, along with organic Reishi mushroom extract, and Carlson's Lemon Flavored Cod Liver Oil. It seems to be working. (Though my diet is quite good-nearly all organic, I also cut sugar and most dairy out of my diet. More veggies, less poultry, more spices and warming foods.) Even once my fibroid is totally gone, I'll still takes this formula for maintaining everything in that department.
