The Result! And My Maintenance Plan:

On a beautiful Fall day, October 21st 2010, I went in for my re-pap. I was so anxious for the result, and of course I called nearly every day until I got it. But it wasn't until that lovely Thursday (one week from the pap), that I discovered the fantastic news... Not only is my cervix completely healthy and clear of dysplasia, but my immune system threw out the HPV virus, as well! (Most medical doctors say this is impossible). I feel like such a lucky girl, but I also feel like my hard work paid off. Although I was nervous for the results, I knew in my heart that this system would work for me, just like it has for thousands of women world wide! I am grateful to have learned so much about my body and good health through this experience. I've made changes that will stay with me forever!


To top that, I went back 3 months later and my pap came back completely clear once again! After the first normal pap, my boyfriend and I (who have been together exclusively for the past 7 years) had a big talk and decided to occasionally have sex without a condom again, like we did for many years before I ever had an abnormal pap. This is just more PROOF that a healthy immune system is KEY to getting rid of dysplasia and HPV since it's nearly impossible to avoid it throughout our lives. For example, some day when you're ready to have children, it's possible that you'll come into contact with HPV at that time, since there's no way to test men for it... But if you have a healthy immune, you can keep it from doing you any harm. What an excellent discovery that we should all be taking advantage of - for many reasons! 


Once again, 5/15/11, I went in for a 3rd pap AND an HPV test this time, BOTH of which came back completely clear and negative! There it is, proof that you can have sex with the person who gave you HPV, and remain HPV free if your body and IMMUNE is healthy and happy! How fantastic. 

So now I began to think about a maintenance plan. For those of you who have the Tori Hudson book (like you should!) you know that she has a very clear maintenance plan for each level of dysplasia - CIN I, II, III and Carcinoma In Situ. I really believe in her plan and I used it as a major component when creating my own maintenance plan. For CIN II, Tori recommends the following supplements daily for one year: 


Vitamin C: 3,000mg
Beta-Carotene: 150,000 IU
Folic Acid: 2.5mg
Multi-Vitamin
Green Tea: 1 capsule 
Plus a Vegetarian Diet


I truly believe that this plan would work wonderfully and I'd stay dysplasia free by doing just what I listed above. Considering the way that I've changed my mindset to being so positive, I've fallen in love with yoga and I have such awareness about the problems revolving around processed foods, I just can't imagine going backwards. But I really believe in doing what feels RIGHT to YOU. Which is why I tweaked Tori's plan just a bit. First of all, I started with CIN III's maintenance plan as an initial plan, which is identical to CIN II's with the addition of 400mg of Vitamin E and continuation of my Botanical Formula, only now, I take just 2 dropperfuls daily rather than the 6 dropperfuls I took until my second normal pap. Next, I looked at the list of supplements I've been taking and remembered what good feelings I have about the DIM, Selenium and Mushroom Immunity I'm on, so I decided to continue lower doses of those. Aside from the supplements I'm taking for treatment of Cervical Dysplasia and HPV, I'm also on a few others: I take fish oil because it helps me focus in school (it's really good for memory), Liquid B-12 because it's an incredible stress reliever while also helping to provide energy! Now that I came up with a plan I feel good about, I got in touch with my doctor, Kim Nearpass, to see what her thoughts were. She thinks it's a good plan! She's with Tori and believes that the maintenance plan she recommends in her book is excellent and probably all that's necessary to keep me dysplasia free, but she's with me about doing what feels RIGHT to your individual situation. So the plan I came up with seemed like a good compromise to both of us. So ladies, here's the final list of what I'm doing now:


Folic Acid: 1 drop daily (5mg)
Beta Carotene: 150,000 IU
Liquid B-12: 1,000mg
Botanical Blend: 2 dropperfuls daily
Women's One Daily Multi-Vitamin
Vitamin C: 3,000mg
Green Tea: 300mg
Vitamin E: 400mg
DIM: 200mg
Selenium: 200mcg
Mushroom Immunity: 1 capsule 


Because I have a lot of supplements left over, I'm weening myself off of the ones that I'm completely discontinuing and still taking a couple capsules of each of them weekly until they're gone. 


Besides Supplements, I'm continuing a positive mindset, plenty of yoga, exercise, a vegetarian diet with no processed food and low amounts of sugar and alcohol, and of course, I'm leaving time for the things I love and enjoy.

10/21/15 - 5 years later and still HPV and Dysplasia free!
