Watchful Waiting and the Ovarian Cyst
What can this mean for you?
"Watchful waiting" is a term used by doctors when an ovarian cyst is discovered that is very small and doesn't appear to be growing. This practice is based on a study that found it best to avoid surgery and its complications until the nature of the cyst changes.
What can this mean for you?
If the cyst is small and you are not menopausal, it may go away in time.
Chinese herbs and nutrition can help to accomplish that.
If you have had the cyst for 20 years and are postmenopausal, the implications could be entirely different.
One of the symptoms of ovarian cancer and benign cysts is weight gain not attributed to overeating. I have a client who has gained 60 pounds and the extra weight has raised triglycerides and blood pressure, so now, in addition, she has cardiovascular issues.
What is happening is that the body in its fabulous intelligence is holding fluid to dilute poisons given off by something that does not belong there.
Surgery for her would be a minimally invasive laparotomy and yes, the pounds would disappear quickly.
Kaiser refuses to remove it until it changes or grows, nor will they do a biopsy. Other insurance companies may have a different policy and operate according to the patient's wishes.
Is that an insurance issue or simply balancing the risks against the benefits?
Some would say it's a gamble, as it is generally agreed that cancer is easier to treat in the early stages than later.
If your gynecologist can look at you and promise you that there are no cancer cells in a cyst that small, then you might sleep better at night. But she/he can't do that. She doesn't really know.
If you have an ovarian cyst, and your doctor is watching and waiting, consider your case very carefully and decide what is best for you. My client has a very fine surgeon in another country and is making the decision to go there.
" About 21,750 women this year will receive a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer. About 13,940 women will die from ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer ranks fifth in cancer deaths among women, accounting for more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system. A woman's risk of getting ovarian cancer during her lifetime is about 1 in 78."

If this post speaks to you, then ask the question? Doctor, are you absolutely sure that my cyst is not cancerous?
It's your life.

Love Your Gallbladder
IT'S A PART YOU NEED
Unless paramedics bring you into the ER on a gurney with intolerable gallbladder pain, and the OR has been readied for immediate lifesaving surgical removal, do not give up your gallbladder.
Your gallbladder is a friend you cannot do well without. It stores bile which helps you digest fats during digestion among other functions.
If you feel a nagging ache or pain in the upper right quadrant under the ribs next to the stomach, nausea, headaches, poor digestion, you might have gallstones or sludge, which is why so many people end up losing their gallbladder. Some gallstones are never seen on an ultrasound or CT, but sludge and small ones are there, nevertheless. Some people have symptoms of ill health that can be traced to a gallbladder that shows no symptoms.
To resolve gallbladder problems, the stones should be removed with herbs and a liver/gallbladder flush, not with a scalpel. Gold Coin Grass is so successful with relieving gallbladder pain, it is unavailable on Amazon. Sold out! Try other vendors. The second one to use is Li Dan Pian from Plum Flower on Amazon used for centuries by the Chinese.
At some point you will need to do the Andreas Moritz liver/gallbladder cleanse which I will post at some point.
https://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Liver-Gallbladder-Flush/dp/0976571501 The book is tremendously expensive, so I would recommend you buy the e book from smashwords.com for 12.99. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/44142
If you have nausea and vomiting, fever or chills, or tea colored urine, get it checked out. Get lab work, check your bilirubin, and use common sense to know whether surgery is necessary at that particular point. Usually, gallbladder attacks subside, and you have time to remove them in a nonsurgical way.
If you have some insight into natural health, you may do the cleanse on your own. For anyone else who needs support and guidance as to how to do it, I will email you the specifics and help you.
Gallbladder surgery is the most over used, expensive to the insured, surgery that is done to thousands of people needlessly every year. One in 1,000 people will die, so please give this post some deep and serious thought.

Over 45 and Starting to Struggle with Weight?
A woman's production of progesterone begins to wane 5-10 years before menopause making her vulnerable to estrogen dominance.
More estrogen than progesterone means more fat cells and more pounds and weight that is almost impossible to lose.
Extra weight will affect thyroid function and slow you down even more.
Schedule a personal consult by phone or facetime to make changes the body needs to drop this weight and be yourself again.
If you are a birthday girl on these dates, your first consult is 50% off. May 1-15, 2021
