“Now I have freedom from worry...”
Bea, 41 and one of nine girls in her family, was told by two different doctors that she should have a hysterectomy. Four of her eight sisters had already had one, but she was determined not to. She’d suffered from irregular periods and heavy bleeding since her periods began, and in 2005 was told she had a uterine fibroid. Now, in 2007, her fibroid is gone and her periods are regular for the first time in her life. She attributes both of these things to the Personal Program.
“I’ve always had irregular periods and heavy bleeding. The bleeding seemed to be getting progressively worse each month, so my doctor put me on a birth control patch to try and regulate my cycle. But it just exacerbated my problems. The idea of more estrogen when my body was already loaded with it didn’t make any sense to me!
“Things got so bad that I ended up in the hospital and had to have a D&C. While doing this procedure, they found a fibroid on my uterus and sent me for an ultrasound. This was back in 2005. The ultrasound reported a 3-4 centimeter fibroid. Two doctors recommended that I have a hysterectomy. I said, ‘Well that’s not gonna happen.'
“I went on-line and found Women to Women and started your Personal Program. Right away I noticed a difference. My periods started to be more regular and they were much more moderate. I know to the day when my period is going to come now! It used to be that the whole week was a wash. I had such heavy bleeding that I had to be near a bathroom at all times. Now I have freedom from worrying about it. I’ve also noticed that my PMS symptoms, including fuzzy thinking, aren’t as bad as they were. I had been getting night sweats since my 20’s and those are gone too.
“When I went back for another ultrasound this year (2007), amazingly my fibroid was gone! The report says: ‘Uterus within normal limits overall. No definite leiomyomas or abnormalities.' The person who did the ultrasound said there was no evidence that I’d ever had a fibroid. And I completely attribute this to your program. I didn’t change anything except that I started taking your Essential Nutrients.
“I think it’s a real good thing that Women to Women is available on-line to so many women. It’s funny; one of my sisters and I each found the Personal Program independently. I was visiting her and about to take my packet of Essential Nutrients. She came into the kitchen and said, ‘What’re you doing with my vitamin pack?' I told her it was mine! Soon enough we realized we were on the same program and laughed. I’m glad she’s on it. I’ve told my other sisters about it as well!”
