How I Eliminated Breast Fibroids

I have had fibroid cysts (a.k.a. “lumps”) in my right breast for as long as I can remember. It didn’t bother me too much except it was very uncomfortable wearing underwire bras. Whenever I did a breast self-exam, had a doctor examine my breast, or have a mammogram performed - my breast would hurt for 2 days after. One Day, my friend Jean told me to try eliminating caffeine from my diet as it may get rid of the lumps -- and sure enough -- it worked! I no longer have any fibroid cysts in my right breast!

What I did:

I eliminated all caffeine from my diet - coffee, tea and soda. This means that now I drink decaf coffee and caffeine-free herbal teas. I don’t drink much soda, but when I do, I drink the caffeine-free varieties.

I had a headache for the first 2 days of being caffeine-free (this is a symptom of withdrawal, and if I drank more caffeine, I would have expected to have the headaches for up to 1 week).

It took about 1 month for me to see the results and be “lump” free. 

Additional Benefits to Being Caffeine-Free:

• Underwire bras are more comfortable to wear.


• Breast mammograms feel better and produce easier to read films for the doctors.


• When I’m tired and need to drive, I do have a cup of caffeinated coffee (1 cup of coffee will keep me wired all night).
