6 weeks (or about two posts) ago, I wrote about my personal, scary medical ordeal. Basically, out of nowhere, a complex cyst about an inch in diameter appeared on my insides. You can find out more about what a complex cyst is here. I went to my OBGYN and her treatment recommendations were to put me on birth control pills (that personally make me fat and feel terrible) and giving me vicodin to deal with the pain. I said "no, thank you" to both and chose instead to seek alternative treatments. I went to 4 acupuncture sessions, the Dr. there also gave me Chinese herbs to take. Shortly before the complex cyst was discovered, Paul and I also adopted a cleaner, plant-based diet. You can find out more about the benefits of a vegan, plant-based diet here. We've been pretty good. Okay, if I'm being honest, I had an In n Out grilled cheese yesterday....and maybe some pizza (I had food hangover this morning). Although my doctor tried to convince me that acupuncture and diet would not solve my problem, I chose to try those methods over narcotics or synthetic hormones. Today I went to my 6 week follow up appointment and the doctor was pleasantly surprised to tell me that the complex cyst has completely disappeared. Apparently, sometimes the body will just "reabsorb" foreign tissue, but I am positive that acupuncture and cleaner eating are to thank for my body repairing itself.
I know that there are some illnesses that require drastic medical measures, but I urge anyone who is facing a health issue to try to fix the problem with natural solutions before they take harmful drugs. I am so glad that I didn't press for surgery or take the prescriptions that were offered to me.
I use to believe 100% in western medicine and it's powerful drugs, but now I am truly a believer of alternative medicine.
AMAZING!!!!That is incredible :)
