In Sep 2024 I had to go to ER due to excruciating pain in my right lower abdomen. As if a stick was poking and proding inside of me. I thought - possibly hernia? It was bulging out of me too :)
In ER doctors and nurses would not agree to start with Ultrasound and nofitied me - if they were to help, then I had to do a CT scan with radiactive dye injected. Though I begged and pleaded, I had to succumb as something was literally bulging out of me and I wanted to find out what is going on.
They came back very sad and showed me the results: “You have a right ovarian tumor. 10.5 cm. it is so huge, it is pressing on other organs. here is a consult for a surgeon”
I was relieved. I told them: “Ok, I will heal it naturally! “ They got even sadder..probably thinking “This lady does not even understand the seriousness of it and is in denial”
Maybe..
I went home. Refused all the pain meds. In fact, I refused all the medications in ER.
I remembered about a little book I had by Louise Hay “You Can Heal Your life”. I started reading it the same night as I could not sleep due to intense pain.
AMAZINGLY - as soon as I started talking to the OVARY, the pain subsided..and in a few days was completely gone.
I went to see this surgeon. It was a younger African American lady, very pleasant.
She told me (listen to this!!): “ In this case, we give anesthesia, antibiotics and anti-congulant medications before the surgery, go in (laparoscopically) take a sample from the ovary for a biopsy, then pathologists look at it and if they find cancer cells - WE REMOVE RIGHT OVARY, LEFT OVARY, FALLOPIAN TUBES, UTERUS, ALL THE LYMPH NODES AND OMENTUM (LAYER THAT PROTECTS THE INTESTINES) for cancer not to spread”
I was appauled.
I told her": “This is absolutely barbaric! Like Midle Ages! And we do this to women?!! I cannot believe it. Taking half of organs from a woman?!”
She said we can just remove one ovary if I wished.
I told her that I would think about it and if I need her services, I would call back.
On the way home I was thinking: “I cannot do it to myself. My beautiful ovary, aloing with left ovary, gave me my amazing children and it will be laying somewhere in the trash can. I love my ovary! I think of my ovaries as my children. “
I have decided to heal it naturally, no surgery, no medications.
Many around me did not approve it and were trying to warn me about the grave danger I was putting myself into but I was firm. This is my body, my ovary and it is up to me to decide.
I did not go to any other doctors. In fact, I try to stay away from Western medicine as far as I can, generally.
I did not test it, I did not biopsy it, I did not do any blood testing for tumor markers, I did not do any more imaging..
The reason is that it would not have changed my plan. I would still do the same things for healing.
Back in naturopathic school, I read this book “A Homeopathic Approach To Cancer” by Dr. A. U. Ramakrishnan and Catherine Coulter. I did not have a copy. I ordered one from Germany and waited a whole month for it to arrive.
Questions:
I had to answer a few questions:
Why ovary? Why right ovary, not left? Is it a connection to children, husband?
What do I need to change inside of me to heal it? Do I have an issue with control?
Do I do enough self care? etc.
The life saving book by Louise Hay was inredicble. I started going through it, doing recommended exercises, changing my patterns.. Every day, little by little. I also would do affirmations, gratitude words, forgiveness.
Homeopathy
When the book arrived, I checked what homeopathic remedies I need to take and what kind of regiment to follow. It was an easy Plussing Method where you dilute the remedies daily for a week, then change to the other remedy the next week. Mostly, you use two remedies for 4-6 months.
I took mostly Carsinosin 200C one week and Aurum muriaticum Natronatum 200C the next.
I also used Lachesis 200C and Scirrhinum 200C.
It was drinking water by teaspoons for 2.5 hours daily (every 15 mins) as remedies were very diluted and you could not even taste them.
I did it till April 2025.
How I felt
I had no fear. I did not think there is anything wrong inside of me. As Louise Hay says “We create our own conditions and we can heal them”. That resonated with me.
I think of cancer (it was possibly, benign, i do not know) as wound healing - the body trying to heal itself. Tumors are consolidation of different cells (abnormal cells, you can call them) in one area - brilliant and wise way to heal.
I also did not want the Diagnosis to define my life. My life is beautiful. I love my life! And I did not want it to change so I would be running to doctors, more blood tests, more treatments, etc.
In April 2025 I scheduled an US of the right ovary with a gynecologist.
He looked at it and said that the right ovary is healthy, normal size, has a small ovulatory cyst (that will, mostly likely, release a follice that will ovulate this month). I smiled!
I knew it already. I felt it for a while already.
The bulhing disappeared, the yellowness of sclera in my eye was gone (I did notice it prior before), I felt great, energetic and balanced.
Some people may say that the correct imaging should be CT scan with contrast. I cannot do it to myself - I do not want to inject any radiactive subtances in my body.
Other things I did
My passion has been always non-toxic cancer treatments, alernative cancer approaches. My dear friend Veta and I filmed a documtary about natural way to heal cancer by traveling to several countries and interviewing patients and health care advocates. I have learned so much over the years (my naturopathic school, interships, during my practice).
Somehow, though, I did not take many supplements/herbs myself.
Several times a week I would do a freshly squeezed vegetables juice with some flaxseed oil and liquid iodine drops. I also did flaxseed oil and cottage cheese/homeade raw yogurt but not consistantly. I love the taste!
I did intermittant fasting almost every day for 12-18 hours. During those hours I would drink diluted homeopathic remedies.
I did not do anthing too crazy with the diet. Just no sugar, no simple cabrs. Mostly, following my blood type Diet, Food Intolerance Testing results (I did back in med school), lots of home made healthy foods.
I stayed away from EMF. No wifi, no to limited cell phone radiation, did earthing daily. Very interesting - when I would go to Target or Mall, after about 30 minutes my right ovary starts hurting as if letting me know that it does not feel well in this high EMF envirnment. When I leave the store, the sensation would be gone.
I did use anti-nano device (Triangle) in my detox baths with baking soda, Epsom salts and Borax several times a week. Always had a deep sleep at night and lots of energy the next day.
I did pray every day too
In conclusion
The reason why i wanted to share this story is not to say - everybody should do what I did but… that there are many ways to heal! I chose this way. I had patients with almost exactly the same type of ovarian tumor who chose a different way and they are doing great too!
If anybody is interested in the budget, I have spent maximum 100$ for homeopathy (still have the remedies), flaxseed oil, liquid iodine drops and a book by Louise Hay over these months.
Beautiful!!! I am so happy to see you sharing your story Dr. Masha!! I am sure it will inspire others on their healing journey!!! I’ll share your article with my community as well. :) Love and blessings. Gayane.
I cancelled my colonoscopy. It just seems like a gateway to western protocol and I'd rather not...I am listening to Louise Haye's book on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFa-JH4SnHo
