Fibrocystic Breasts | Cysts

Fibrocystic breasts usually feel lumpy and cause discomfort. This can be caused by small noncancerous tissue, benign masses, nodules or small cysts in the breasts that can change in size and location. Sometimes there is soreness, swelling, pain and tenderness. These lumps may disappear at menopause.

Research
Iodine: The Universal Nutrient : "Iodine can be concentrated in the ovaries, and Russian studies done some years ago showed a relationship between iodine deficiency and the presence of cysts in the ovaries. The greater the iodine deficiency, the more ovarian cysts a woman produces. In its extreme form, this condition is known as polycystic ovarian disease."  
 
Iodine Research | Dr. Brownstein
 
"After reading of the clinical effects of iodine on fibrocystic disease in 1993, I searched for the most effective iodine preparation for dissolving fibrocystic disease. All forms of iodine worked. Dosage was a more important factor. If the daily dose of iodine was not over the thyroid gland saturation point of 2-3 mg. iodine per day, there was no improvement. The thyroid gland was still capturing iodine from the blood system at too high a rate to allow the proper circulation of iodine throughout the body.
 
Check iodine and get D3 levels up to 60 to 80 ng/ml, which also means you need to get magnesium levels up. Check with RBC magnesium test; the serum magnesium test is useless. - Kay Ness, respected Neurodevelopmentalist with ICAN.

Testimonies
Frankincense: I was diagnosed with microcalcifications in my breasts. I applied Frankincense daily on my breasts, and six months later the doctor was not able to locate any calcifications. I continue to use Frankincense faithfully.
 
Frankincense and Lavender: I had a number of fibroid cysts and used Frankincense and Lavender twice daily. Six months later all the cysts were gone!!
 
Frankincense and Lavender: For over 30 years, I had large fibrocystic breast lumps that were very painful. At some point in my journey to find help, I realized that I shouldn't be using deodorants with aluminum. When I heard about some research regarding Frankincense and tumors, I was hopeful and gave it a try. I mixed about 40 drops of Frankincense with 4 oz. pure apricot oil and applied this mixture under my arms as often as I could. Every night before going to bed I applied 5 drops each of Frankincense and Lavender to both breasts. Less than a month later, all my fibroid lumps and the pain and tenderness associated with them were completely gone and they have not returned! - Anne
 
Frankincense and Lavender: I’ve seen testimonies where Frankincense and Ledum work for breast lumps/cysts, but I use Frankincense and Lavender with 100% success. I applied both on site twice daily and also took them internally twice daily. I also did major cleansing, made dietary changes and used products to boost my immune system. I stayed away from anything that would compromise my immune response (such as household chemicals and processed foods).
 
Frankincense and Lavender: My closest friend and I had breast fibroids at the same time and decided to try using the oils. Both of us did the same protocol, and both of us are now 100% clear of fibroids. These oils are amazing!!!
Here’s the protocol: 4-5 drops each of Frankincense and Lavender rubbed over the breasts once a day.
 
Healthy Woman: I have a lump in my breast (cancer), and I can tell a real difference when I use/don't use the Healthy Woman blend. It definitely eases discomfort/pain. I use it morning and evening and during the day as needed. I also use it as my deodorant. - J
 
Iodine: I have had fibrocystic breasts since I was a teenager. I've been on an iodine protocol for about 14 months. Of that time, I've taken 50 mg [about 8 drops of Lugols 2% in water] for 6 months. My breast tenderness went away within about 3 months. They were so painful that I had to protect them from my baby girl when she would run up and hug me. The news gets better! For the past 3 weeks, I've been painting 2% Lugols mixed with magnesium oil directly to my breasts once a day. This past Saturday morning, I examined my breasts and the painful cyst that I have had for years and years was gone! I felt in another spot that normally has a noticeable cyst and it's gone too! I also have a lump that I truly believe is a tumor (in the same right breast) that shoots pain up under my right arm. That lump is not very painful anymore, and I haven't noticed any shooting pains for about a week. So praise God for iodine! I've firmly believed it held a key to my health improvements and now I'm seeing it!  - Testimony found online
[LUGOL'S 2%: Each VERTICAL drop is about 3 mg's of iodine/potassium iodide (2.5 mg iodine, 3.75 mg potassium iodide) and 2 drops is about 6.25 mg's of iodine/potassium]
 
Iodine: I've struggled with fibrocystic breasts for years and used oils but iodine is what eventually resolved the problem completely. I only use Wellness Resources for my Iosol Iodine. - Ali
 
Lavender: I had breast lumps that disappeared by using Lavender topically every night. I also did a major cleanse to give my body a fighting chance.
 
Progesterone: I was diagnosed with fibrocystic breast disease in my mid-thirties. Within one cycle of applying natural progesterone, all the cysts disappeared.
 
Vitalzym: I use Vitalzym for relief from fibroid tumors. - Emily
