what are the best foods for fibroid or what are the best foods to eat if you are battling with fibroids in this holistic health and healing lesson we're going to talk about eating organic eating vegetables rich in vitamin e sea vegetables leafy greens and other things that you should be consuming if you are dealing with fibroids and this lesson is actually part of a series and if you would like access to the whole entire series just go to arugula.com blog slash fibroids and that's a r u k a h dot com slash blog slash fibroids and the lessons that we've had in the past include fibroids symptoms root causes and the top two things you should do asap to heal we also talked about fibroids during pregnancy and what you need to know as well as the worst foods for fibroids but now let's go ahead and talk about the best foods or fibroids one of the most important things you can do to heal from fibroids is to eat organic and this means both organic vegetables including fruits and grains etc as well as meats only organic meats eating organic helps you avoid the herbicides pesticides and hormones that can have an estrogenic effect organic products are grown and made without these hormone disrupting toxic additives it's especially important to eat meat that is organic because to avoid the hormones that are pumped into conventional meat you have to stick to organic hormonal balance is key to natural fibroid treatment so all the hormones that they are pumping into the animals is is very bad for fibroids now avoiding toxins and unnecessary chemicals is also helpful so that your body can focus on healing instead of overburdening it with the task of having to do damage control from the toxins so make sure you're eating organic as much as possible especially when it comes to the meat another really important thing that you should be eating when you have fibroids is vitamin e rich vegetables now there was an obstetrician by the

name of evan schute and she wrote a book called the vitamin e story and she discusses how fibroids are probably caused by vitamin e deficiency vitamin e is very intimately involved with the body's hormonal balance vitamin e rich foods include wheat germ oil this is a good one as one tablespoon contains 20.2 milligrams which is 101 percent of the recommended daily value however note that for healing you should be getting much more than the minimal daily value but i'm just trying to say that wheat germ oil has a high concentration of vitamin e another really good vitamin e-rich food are sunflower seeds my kids love this snack almonds we like to use raw organic almonds in our smoothies and the reason why i'm giving you all these suggestions is because i have found that a lot of these are very easy to incorporate they're delicious and sometimes it's hard to especially if you're you're a mother of many children like myself it's hard to eat only for yourself and and cook a separate meal for your family but a lot of these foods they can be incorporated in such a way that you can make something not only for yourself but you know it's healthy for your whole family um hazelnuts are also vitamin e rich this is probably my favorite nut hazelnuts spinach there's so many great ways to eat spinach from smoothies to omelets that's how we do it avocado i eat avocados for breakfast lunch dinner and dessert i mean not every meal but i have ways to eat avocados for breakfast lunch dinner4 and dessert turnip greens are another one butternut squash oh my goodness my mouth is watering just talking about these foods we bake butternut squash and then peel and remove the seeds and then we blend it up with our vitamix with some raw milk or cream pink salt and maple syrup garlic and onion powder and then we eat it with some organic bourdough so yummy so anyways we have butternut squash we have pine nuts which are great in pasta or salad palm oil i just read today that in indonesia which is the largest exporter of palm oil they're going to stop exporting palm oil which actually means that the price of palm oil is probably going to be going up but this is a really good source of vitamin e and of course remember again make sure to get organic um peanuts now i know a lot of people

have allergies to this but it's also a source of vitamin e also olive oil just great on salads and salmon and now note about olive oil is that it has a low smoking point which means that you should not heat it up very much when i use olive oil for cooking i'll use it you know only cook up to 350 degrees um with it and it's better though to just use it raw not cooked um like on salads or you can put olive oil on your fish after it's done cooking things like that okay mango one of my favorite fruits might be my very favorite also good for vitamin e sweet potatoes or from our family loves sweet potatoes um with some raw farm fresh butter and mineral rich grade b maple syrup and tomatoes who doesn't love tomatoes another good thing you should be eating are sea vegetables and leafy greens now sea vegetables like kelp wakami and nori are high in iodine and this is a mineral that's important for thyroid health and hormone health can help you support you while you're battling with fibroids and my children also they love nori and seaweed sushi stuff like that um vitamin k also from leafy greens will encourage proper blood clotting and may reduce an excessive flow of anti-inflammatory and help discourage fibroid growth okay now in my family we take various powdered greens and we get that from pacific botanicals.com in our morning drink and we include both sea you know sea vegetables as well as leafy greens in that just go to pacific botanicals.com and then i think there's a place that says purchase or shop or something like that or buy herbs and then go to the section that says superfood or superfood powder or something like that now let's talk about even more vegetables that you can be eating for fibroids research from epidemiological investigation shows that a high consumption of broccoli cabbage chinese cabbage tomato and apple seemed to be a protective factor for uterine fibroids this means that a greater intake of fresh fruits and cruciferous vegetables may be able to reduce the incidence of uterine fibroids fruits and vegetables such as apples cherries broccoli cauliflower brussels sprouts have the phytochemical indole-3-carbinol and this helps your liver to detox from excess estrogen and they're delicious now also beta-carotene rich foods like carrots sweet potatoes kale and spinach promote the growth and repair of healthy tissues which can be very helpful for treating fibroids and also beets carrots artichokes dandelion greens oh i love dandelion greens my friend she when she comes over she'll pick the dandelion leaves from my backyard and make a delicious salad out of it and of course we don't use any pesticides or anything on our grass so it's safe to do that so dandelion greens onions and garlic these are all foods that stimulate liver

detoxification that's a very a very important part of healing from fibroids as well as other diseases as well now flax seeds flax seeds are good sources of phytoestrogens substances that regulate the body's estrogen production and essential fatty acids and flax seeds have been shown to help balance estrogen levels which can help shrink fibroids you can aim for at least two tablespoons per day if you already have fibroids you can sprinkle flax seeds on oatmeal in your smoothies or simply eat the seeds by themselves or in salads i love flax seeds in my oatmeal just discover that and it's so delicious now it's best to get flax seeds that are whole and then grind them up yourself it's fresher it's more nutritious that way but of course you know if it's more convenient for you just at least make sure you're getting organic now let's talk about iron-rich foods fibroids sometimes cause some women to lose more blood during their monthly menstruation and this can lead to anemia so to replace the excessive loss of iron due to increased bleeding you should include high iron foods like grass-fed beef and legumes in your diet now also when women are pregnant they are in need of more iron than normal women very often have anemia during pregnancy and it's much better to get this from food than from pills a lot of women they cannot tolerate pills iron pills that doctors give to them but you know the organic grass beef um legumes and those those greens are going to be really good for for iron and lastly we should also talk about whole grains if you have you're battling with fibroids you should be eating whole grains instead of grains that are stripped of the fiber eat brown rice instead of white rice there's also red rice wild rice all kinds of wonderful types of rice you need the fiber to help cleanse your system and also for the added nutrition there's also whole grains like millet spelt buckwheat rye and oats okay now these are iron fiber um as i said they have more minerals and they also tend to be much less processed which is another reason you want to eat foods in their purest form possible to get the maximum benefit from them and the least amount of toxins and chemicals from the processing if you recap everything again that we learned in this lesson i'm going to try to eat only organic vegetables meat and dairy now i know that it's hard to do that a hundred percent but aim for as much as possible aim for ninety percent or aim for a hundred percent and if sometimes you know ten percent of the time you can't don't worry about it try to do it as much as possible eat organic okay and also nothing we didn't mention here but try to eat natural simple foods that are homemade instead of canned or backed or you know in a box or anything like that

because those types of foods will have more processing even if they are organic they'll still you know have a lot more chemicals because of the processing to get them in that shelf-stable position okay so eat only organic as much as possible and in its natural form homemade also eat vitamin e rich vegetables eat lots of vegetables different kinds of vegetables sea

vegetables and leafy greens more and more vegetables lots of vegetables flax seeds iron rich foods whole grains and yeah just like before as we said avoid toxins now also going back to the meat when you're when you're eating the meat make sure that you're not eating processed meat like sausage and bacon and you know hot dogs stuff like that if you're gonna be eating meat i love meat i love eating meat but it should be non-toxic meat things that do not have those chemicals and additives so organic grass-fed and also pure not the things that have added chemicals in them preservatives that junk like that that's going to aggravate worsen promote fibroid growth instead of helping you get rid of them okay so um if you would like to learn more about how to become a healer if you'd like to learn naturopathic herbalism to kill yourself your family and your community without spending years on an expensive medical degree and learn how to build a profitable online health coaching business i invite you to visit my website at aruka.com a-r-u-k-a-h and if you have um found us on youtube please subscribe to our channel and like this video or if you found us on facebook go ahead and like the post and comment share with your friends and if it's on a podcast please subscribe to our podcast to support us and to continue

growing in your holistic health and healing knowledge this knowledge should really be things that we learn about in high school you know this should be common knowledge these types of things but unfortunately the world is very much in need of holistic healers to bring this holistic health and healing knowledge so thank you so much and again if you like the notes and all the rest of the lessons for this topic just go to arukah.com blog slash fibroidsfemale now bleeding and abdominal pain might also occur during pregnancy if the fibroid begins to lose its blood supply and you know definitely any time that you are in pain especially during pregnancy something definitely to pay attention to and of course doctors will will likely recommend more ultrasounds than normal if you have fibroids now in the last lesson or the first lesson actually which was the last one that i did on fibroids anyways i talked about two of the most important things that need to be done right away if you have fibroids if i had fibroids if anyone had fibroids and they were juicing and cleansing and um i talked about i think i remember correctly i think i talked about the grisham method and i also gave a free resource that's online it was a pdf book and also some videos about starting with colon cleansing but you know by uh master herbalist richard schultz i'm focusing on colon cleansing oth and also other types of cleansing for the body so juicing and cleansing and the purpose for juicing was to give your body the nutrition that it needs in order to heal and the purpose for cleansing is to get rid of all the toxins that your body is having to deal with that the fibroids may actually be a response to maybe when your body can't heal itself it will often respond by giving you a disease or giving you some kind of discomfort or symptom and this this is the case also with cancer and you know but metabolic diseases as well you're not giving it what it needs

and you're giving it too much of things that are toxic for it so then the question is are these two things safe to do while pregnant and my answer is yes while i am pregnant i do both juicing and cleansing i do juicing and cleansing whether i'm pregnant or not or whether i'm breastfeeding or not so juicing and cleansing are completely safe of course i'm legally supposed to tellall my you know health coaching clients that you know they should check with a doctor and blah blah blah don't do anything unless a doctor approves blah blah blah but for myself also that i do not see conventional medical doctors and when i give birth i have a midwife at home so i would have no problems doing any juicing or cleansing i would not even check with the doctor to see if that's necessary because i know myself i know about holistic health and healing and i trust i trust that process now if you have any kinds of allergies or anything like that you know that is certainly something to consider

and also the thing about juicing is if you're not used to juicing if the very first time you've everjuiced will be that time you may have a severe reaction to it such as vomiting because and that happens sometimes even in my family if we haven't juiced in a long time and we take a lot of fresh juice sometimes a nauseous effect may happen or sometimes even maybe one of my

smaller children may throw up and so for me that's not a sign that there's something wrong it's just a sign that it's a shock and it may have been too much for my body or for my child's body at that time so what we'll do is we'll if you juice regularly then it's okay but if you haven't used in a long time or if it's your first time juicing i would say start small start with maybe

just one type of vegetable something easy like maybe just carrots you know you can even start with apples or oranges but really what you need is the greens so maybe add a cucumber in there maybe do some apple juice and blend it with some spinach or kale or you know something like that some some greens um and and start very small i mean we could start with maybe a quarter cup and then work yourself up to

a half cup for my family when we juice we'll make a lot and then the big people will have maybe one to one and a half cups of juice maybe even two one to two cups of juice and then the smaller children will have less than

that depending on their size and weight and age okay so and in terms of cleansing i colon cleanse all throughout my pregnancy um sometimes i will do a liver cleanse um once in a while i'll throw in some

herbs for kidney cleansing regardless of whether i'm pregnant or not if i feel like you know i need certain things now now if you are pregnant always best and why is to just start with small doses

and see how your body reacts but let me just say that herbs and vitamins juicing and cleansing are thousands of times safer than the injections i don't want to say the word the injections and the

pharmaceutical drugs that doctors usually advise women to take while they are pregnant for various reasons for example i had a very kind of a rare disease when i was pregnant called pups p-u-p-p-p-s i forgot what the acronyms stood for but and when i told my medical

doctor about it she recommended steroidal cream and that has side effects and i was like i'm not going to take that and so i researched on my own herbs that i could take um to to do it you know research what

the cause of it was and it was basically an excess of this isn't always why but for me i believe it was because of an excess of male hormones in my system so i would get these pups women who get the pups they more often get it when they are having a boy when they're pregnant with a boy and that happened to me as well i would get it when i had girls but i would get it more

severely when i was pregnant with a boy so anyways it doesn't matter though whether the pups is from an excess of hormones or an excess in some other type of toxin a cleanse is going to help to combat that so i i took some colon and liver cleansing herbs to fight that and i was able to safely with these herbs get rid of the problem myself i only need that needed the medical

doctor for the diagnosis of what it was but actually even now you know after having been nervous for a long time i don't i wouldn't even need really much of a diagnosis i know that most issues have to do with a lack of proper nutrition

and a need to cleanse and detoxify your body now that concludes this specific lesson and basically this lesson is to dispel fear in holistic health and healing methods during pregnancyand you know legally even though legally i have to advise people especially when i'm counseling with them personally to check with her doctor blah blah blah telling you i believe it's

a thousand times safer than anything any pharmaceutical drug that any medical doctor can prescribe to you in terms of whether you need c-section or not unless your that fibroid is very big and

very painful you know if it's not that big um i would say you might you know and i would definitely work with the doctor about that butyou know c-section or not you just have to take care of your own

health and also your baby's health c-section is not the end of the world although natural birth is better however if you do have to have essie section one of the problems especially when of course the recovery

time is much more it's much longer with a c-section which can be hard so i would make sure to make sure that you do what you can if you can to make surethat you still be able to breastfeed because oftentimes when women have c-sections they're not able to breastfeed because recovery is very painful

so that's i think i would say that's one thing to watch out for because breastfeeding is so important for you and your baby if you can't if for some reason you can't breastfeed right away pump pump for your baby so that at least they can get some of your breast milk in a bottle but as soon as

you can start putting your baby on the breast and another thing that i would uh really watch out for is something that is harmed by a c-section is is the baby's gut health because when a baby is born vaginally

the baby gets a natural boost of immunity through the mother's gut flora as the baby is passing through the birth canal there's a lot of good bacteria in your vagina that the baby basically

inhales you know through their nose and maybe through their mouth which they pick up while they're going through your birth canal so that is one thing that you will probably have to deal with if you give birth that

way um a very important way to combat that is when they're older i don't know i'm not sure if i would start it right when they're born but at some point you know you can give them baby probiotics

i would probably start that at like at least maybe one month wait at least one month maybe even more but if you breastfeed also they're goingto get a lot of good nutrients for their immunity another thing is i do not bathe my baby for

like a month i'll just spot clean my baby in certain places where they're dirty and i will i will wash their their bottom you know whenever they go poo so you know that those kinds of germs

and bacteria are gone but the kind that is in your house is very safe for the baby and they need good bacteria from their environment in order to build and maintain a healthy immune system so do not be obsessed at sanitizing yourself or your baby now you know i'm not saying to be a slob but i'm saying don't be a clean freak this is one of the reasons why our gut health today in the quote unquote modernized world it's one of the reasons why our health

is so bad it's because we have such poor gut health and also to avoid antibiotics because that also kills gut health and good gut health is going to be important for your baby's immunity and

it's also going to be important for your own health as well for the mother's health as well and the last thing that i would like to recommend in closing for this lesson is the book called

natural childbirth the bradley way by susan mccutchen this is going to be the best preparation i know to have a natural childbirth it'll tell you the timing it'll tell you exactly what's going on

in your body each step of the way if you can i would get a midwife so you can give birth safely at home and i would interview at least three of them and then choose the best one for you

i have found that the older midwives that have been practicing longer tend to have more confidence in helping women that may have certain problems for example i i interviewed a midwife once and i asked her about rich babies how how does she feel about breech babies and she's

like that's no problem whereas a younger midwife who hasn't been practicing long she said something like oh you immediately have to go to the and probably get a c-section because you have a reach reach breath

and so that's just the difference in experience between the two so an older more experienced person is probably going to be better if you have if you have complications but always remember you have to take your health into your own hands

and if you feel that you want to do something you have the right to and if you feel like you want to go to see a doctor then you should follow your conscience you are your your master your own master

um you don't have to you can get a second opinion no matter who you're talking to okay so that's all for this lesson and i'm gonna be talking in the future lesson i think i'll do one or two more

on this subject of fibroids are we talking about nutrition both ortho-molecular nutrition which is vitamin therapy megadose vitamin therapy as well as nutrition in terms of what you um should eat and not eat and also

someother lifestyle issues that that you may have to deal with so it'll probably be maybe one or two more lessons on this subject and for anyone who doesn't know yet and listening to this
