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!

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the Best Moisturizer for Very Dry Skin

extra virgin olive oil


After menopause, there is a natural decline in the amount of oils produced for the skin. So, my once oily skin is now so very dry. My latest discovery for mature dry skin, or for any dry skin, is to apply extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) straight on my skin. After I tried many different body lotions (some even with Alpha-lipoic acid which will slough off dead dry skin to help reveal a newer skin layer beneath) I still couldn’t get rid of that shriveled up dry feeling in my skin.

I found that straight extra virgin olive oil works the best. I apply it to damp skin, or if my skin is already dry - I wet my hands and apply some water to my skin, and then apply the olive oil.
