Over 50% of Women Have THIS?!

DR. ERIC BERG
About this episode

Around 20% to 50% of all women will have some sort of fibroid or endometriosis before the age of 50. A fibroid is a growth on the uterus that is not cancerous.


Research has shown that vitamin D may help shrink the size of fibroids.


If you’re vitamin D deficient, your risk of developing uterine fibroids is much higher. Vitamin D naturally inhibits the enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens to estrogen. Vitamin D can also affect the fibroid itself. If you have enough vitamin D, certain tumor and cancer cells will commit suicide.


Dr. Bruce Hollis has done extensive research on the benefits of vitamin D but says a lot of research on vitamin D has been rejected by top medical journals!


Around 50,000 IUs of vitamin D daily may help shrink fibroids in the uterus. You’ll also need to take the following vitamin D cofactors:

•500 mcg vitamin K2

•800 mg magnesium

•50 mg zinc

•Vitamin B6 and boron (recommended dose on the bottle)


More tips to help shrink fibroids naturally:

• Get on the ketogenic diet

• Increase your consumption of cruciferous vegetables

• Limit dairy consumption
