What type of natural remedy can be used for dealing with a large fibroid tumor? My mother has almost died because she literally bleed to death (menstrauting heavily for months). She became severly anemic with a blood volume level of a mere 3. Normal is 12. She recieved 5 blood transfusions over a 2 month span. They believe it's all been a result of the fibroid tumor in her uterus. She is trying desperatly to get their insurance company to cover it but they are jerking my parents around calling all of this pre existing and saying they wont cover a dime for any of it including the bills already. My parents are already 100,000 in medical bills. They will not cover the surgery until Nov. of this year. What can be taken naturally in the mean time to help her not have the severe pain and bleeding. Her stomach is so bloated she looks like she's 5 months pregnant. She always has pain and she always bleeds so bad. I'm worried so badly about my mom. Someone help please!!!

I also had a fibroid tumor that was causing me to bleed heavily, but I was lucky enough to have insurance that covered all the procedures I had. The bad part is my insurance didn't cover prescriptions but I got a discount. And it wasn't much of a discount.

The doctors had me on birth control for a year before I finally convinced them to do something else for me. (The birth control didn't help me at all.) Before he started doing procedures on me, he had to get my blood count up so he put me on Lupron. It's like a temporary menapause and it's an injection you get at the doctor's office once a month or every three months, depending on the dosage. Because my insurance doesn't fully cover prescriptions, I was still going to have to pay around $450 a month to get this injection. I got lucky, and the doctor's office I was going to worked directly with the drug company and was able to get some samples and they gave them to me for free. Maybe you should try talking to your mother's doctor about it.

To make a long story short, eventually I found a new doctor and got the surgery I needed without having a hysterectomy. If your mother does end up having to wait until November for surgery, I highly recommend having a myomectomy done. It gets rid of the fibroid and leaves everything else intact.

1] Lookup 'fibroid remedies' on the net.[ I usually only see the surgical fibroids ]
2] make sure mom eats three servings of red meat, and one of liver every week. Also, any green leafy vegs and beans will help.
3] get her some good vitamins with iron!

This website has some do-it-yourself ideas for dealing with the pain and anemia,
http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/Uterine-Fibroids-Home-Treatment
They also said you can take birth control pills to help control the heavy flow, and those aren't too expensive without insurance. She could try getting them through planned parenthood or something, I think they give discounts.

Good luck! I hope she recovers soon

I read that evening primrose oil helped, but it didn't do much for me. I had surgery to remove one, but the doctor could only get half of it cause it was larger that he thought. I still suffer, but it's not as bad as your mother. I know her pain and feel for her.

The most extreme measure would be a hysterectomy, but it should be a last resort.

The site below might be of some use.

Good luck, hun.

You know, your situation sounds an awful lot like a John Grisham book I read a few years ago "The Rainmaker". I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but you should contact an attorney. Sometimes, just having someone with an Esq. behind their name speak on your behalf lets the jerks know you mean bu sines..

In the meantime, have you seen a Chinese herbalist? Have you read Kevin Trudeau's book "Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About"? I bet both of those would have some helpful solutions for you.

My sympathies to your mom; insurances companies are total ___________...fill in the blank with your favorite curse word.

Not much short of menopause is going to help.
