Thread: Bump down there?

Get into a Natropath or intergrated medicine doctor, this sounds systemic. The body functions are all inter-related and need to be dealt with as a whole. Wet heat or bentonite clay may help draw them out once they start to form, but you need to know what is causing this. It sounds miserable. Have you tried doing a full body cleanse?

Look at your diet and products you are using that could be exposing you to damaging chemicals? You would be shocked if you knew what goes into many personal care products! Things like dryer sheets and air fresheners contain serious toxins, so do cosmetics, antipersperants, sanitary napkins and tampons are often loaded with chemicals.
A freind who is a scientist did tests on tampons - just out of curiousity and found many contain chemicals to cause mild cramping. Persumably to reduce the risk of TSS, who knows what else is in them and what reaction a sensitive woman could have? Your detergent could be causing problems. The list is endless, we are exposed to so much *rap in our daily lives.

Just like an elimination diet for food sensitivities you may need to go on an elimination program. Get online or into a health food store and get all natural pads and tampons, wear natural fibers, especially in contact with your girl parts. As much as you can avoid underwear or anything in contact with your labia. Give all your clothes a detergent less wash, quit using dryer products, switch to a natural laundry product - no scent or dyes at the least. Get some neutral bath soap, Pure and Natural, Ivory (avoid Ivory if you have dry skin) Neutrogena or there are dozens of 'natural' soaps now. Use a hypo alergenic lotion - I'm very sensitive and like Aveno. Don't use douches, ot 'feminine' hygiene products. Use uncented TP. REduce your chemical exposure as much as you can.

In the diet arena- NO artificial sweeteners, they can produce a wide range of reactions. Anything you put into your body, you excrete and could react to. Try to eat a natural, balanced diet, with as little processed food as possible. Lots of organic fruits and veggies and whole grains will help keep your system clean. You might want to start taking Milk Thistle, it is the only thing clincally proven (German studies) to help heal and clean the liver - which is your body's toxin filter.

You will have to be a detective, it's your body, you live in it. A natropath or wholistic Doc will help you but you have to take responsiblity - you are the one living with it. Keep a diary of what you are doing, eating, products exposed to and reactions. A reaction can be immediate or can take days. Look for patterns. Get a copy of If You Love Me Don't Feed Me Junk, the author's story may give you some ideas. She nearly died from chemical exposure to an undisclosed additive to foods.

You've suffered for years, it's worth the effort to track this down. Get organized and serious. Don't depend on the doctors. Pick their brains, use their knowledge but own your body. Follow you gut, clue into your instincts. Good Luck
