Grrrrrrrr!!!!! I'm showing you my teeth allie!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! C'mon allie. What is wrong with you girl????? Why won't you fight me????? LET'S RUMBLE!!!!!!! LET'S GET IT ON!!!!!
Tina was being silly with you Allie, that is obvious isn't it.
Tina, some people can't tell when you are kidding with them. Uzma, myself and a few others, like maybe Sophie and Jacqui, can tell when you are goofing around because we have chatted with you and know your humour. This lady Allie seems very serious, and doesn't seem to get your obvious kidding. By the way Tina, I can tell when I am talking to a tough little lady. Now way Tina will I pick a fight with you! I believe you when you say you are tough. I can tell by the way you take people on here on HAIR TALK!! ( Ha ha!!!)
about the herbs being safe .. the 4 main ones should be ok for most people to take. Saw palmetto is used to help prevent hair loss and to prevent prostate problems in men, fenugreek is used in indian cooking, fennel is used in sausage and as a seasoning, wild yam is used in creams and in birth control pills. As for trying to get breast enlargement pills off the market, they also want diet pills off the market too becasue of the false claims. grow 2-3 cups sizes in 3 months, lose 50 pounds in 2 weeks, is not realstic and people keep waisting thier money on this junk, thats why they want this stuff off the market.

Thanks everyone for the informative warnings. I wasn't aware how potentially dangerous these could be. I've never taken these, but I was somewhat considering the possibility if I'd heard of one that really worked. Not anymore.

I don't think it's ever been proven/disproven that they increase your risk of cancer( or anything else). It's true that just because they're herbs and all natural they're not completely safe. But this only applies to those who're allergic,already have health conditions,or if you're taking large doses and mixing certain herbs together. I would advise people to use/try them, before turning to something as drastic as surgery anyway. The pills that are sold and already contain various herbs are not damaging to your health,I'm sure. If they were and if there was an immediate risk or anything negative resulting in the consumption of them,then they would not be sold.
I tried these supplements and within a few days I started having headaches that throbbed really bad, the headaches wound up being cancer spreading to my brain. i cannot say that the herbs caused cancer but I do feel they were instumental in helping it spread. Do I believe these herbs played a part in this, absolutely since they cause your body to produce pre menstral howmones and some cancers are hormone related. A lot of our medicines are plant derived, like donatal for stomach spasms. It comes from the belladonna plant which is poisonous. Just because plants are natural does not mean they won't make you sick or even kill you. I stopped taking the herbs for a week because of the headaches but that did not stop them so I went ahead and took them again and when I did, the headaches became worse as I was developing serious swelling in my brain. After taking heavy duty steroids to drain the swelling in my brain, the surgeon went in and removed it. Since then 5 more tumors developed in my brain, 2 of which were removed this past June. ANd now I have a tumor wrapped around 3 vertebra in my upper back. The pain from these feels like severe backand side labor radiating into my ribs. For now the doctors have prescribed radiation treatments fo rthe pain and 10 mg.lortab. I too would enjoy 5 minutes of no pain. I don't know if I can take it getting any worse. I live out in the country and it is deer season and often think I would welcome a stray bullet from one of the hunters.

Nothing can cause cancer to grow within a few days. I never said that herbs cannot harm you,I said that when taking anything (herbs or not) you should consult your doctor first.

Anything that increases the size of the mammary gland will
increase the chances of breast cancer, as it mimics the way you
feel during PMS. Heavy swollen breasts.
If you take Fennel seed it does the same thing, one a day and
My breasts were heavier and more swollen. Chamomile tea
does this too since both contain substances that increase
estrogen. If you are just after your period and your estrogen is
low it's okay, but everyday is not good.
If you are having a real problem with breast tissue, you may
need to go to your doctor to have your hormones checked,
OR
you could have UTI, urinary tract infection or other problem, it
seems when I have one, I lose weight,
if you are on the PILL sometimes your breasts get smaller, mine
did,
Also there are other reasons for smaller breasts, loss of weight
due to a loss of sense of smell or taste due to aging,
As a last resort you may want to have a breast lift,
or wear spandex bras with a silicone insert.
I would rather wear a push up bra, or a silicone gel bra, to be
honest than fool around with herbal estrogen,
It will increase your chances of PMS like symptoms, do you
want to have PMS everyday?
There is no easy road to bigger firmer breasts!
Don't obsess, thats my only advice,
Natalie

has anyone had an increase from taking birth control
pills? if so, which one did you take and did you gain weight anywhere
else?
I've had a cup and a half increase on Estelle-35ED (Diane-35
equivalent) and I actually lost 10 pounds the first month I was on
them, no weight gain afterwards, so thats a nice side effect. I'm
curious to see what happens when I get switched from these to a
different pill. Can't take this type forever because of increased risks
associated with *all* pills, I'm just using them at the moment for skin
and hair benefits. Also, I have zero PMS since I've been taking these.

If the "make your bewbies big and round and a C/D cup" pills really worked, it would be all over time magazine and the news, like viagra.
Now, there have been cases of slight growth due to hormones that trick your body. DO you remember the worst PMS day of your entire life? welcome to hormone hell. Remember your sister/friend/cousin who had a baby, had breast swelling, then lost it and ended up with smaller/droopier boobs then she started with? Whacha thinks gonna happen when you stop taking your pills?
Now you COULD take them for the rest of your life.... how much would that cost in the long run, and affect your health?
(BTW in some cases messing with your hormones can cause depression and sucidial behavoir. sounds silly? I was there.)

Oh tina dear, you are not funny and anyone who finds that funny obviously has themselves shuved up your ass. Allie did not insult you, she disagreed with you, now grow up and realise that not everyone is going to agree with what you have to say.

kittybum,
If you click on the "profile" button in a post, it will tell you the last time that person posted.
None of these people have posted in years. Better to let old threads stay dead than to revive them, since no one had any interest in the thread topic meanwhile.
Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?
