Hello everyone, After doing literally months of research on the Pros of using Herbal Pills to increase my breast size, I decided to order Breast Actives, but then i did more research on the Cons.... and well I found more " legit" sites, from academic studies, journals, medicine sites etc that discuss the risks, of taking these pills, basically there is a lot of proof that shows that the production of estrogen without progest. to balance it all out is extremely dangerous, and not only increases the tissue of your breast but also the tissue of your uterus leading to cancer..... NOW I am not an expert I am like you just really want a way to increase my size without doing implants .... here some sites of articles I read.... ( look at bottom ) and some of the Cons i found:

1. Delay of actual results. According to BreastOptions.com, differences in body chemistry can lead to a 5-8 week delay until you experience any effects or results. Since the pills introduce plant-based estrogen compounds into the body, it can take up to two months for the body to adapt and start creating new breast tissue.

2. Not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Since most breast enhancement pills are made with herbal ingredients, they are sold as dietary supplements in the U.S. and are not regulated for safety.

3. Interference with prescription medications. Many herbal supplements can interact with prescription medication and make them less effective, or lead to adverse side effects, allergies and poor drug absorption.

4. Estrogen imbalances. Taking an unregulated supplement that affects hormonal levels can lead to estrogen imbalances, especially when ingredients such as Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca), Dandelion (Taraxacum officinalis) and Wild Yam (Dioscorea Villosa) are listed in the ingredients. All three of these extracts have been linked to increased estrogen levels and may trigger an imbalance.

5. Harmful long-term side effects of organs and muscle tissues. Long-term side effects of many herbal ingredients found in breast enhancement pills are still undergoing research and various studies, so there is not enough data available to suggest that these potent combinations are safe. Learning about the effects of certain herbs on estrogen levels may help determine if a supplement is really as ‘safe’ as you think. This report from the Institute of Traditional Medicine explains how increased estrogen levels can lead to breast cancer development, shedding some light on whether boosting estrogen is really a healthy strategy for breast enhancement.

While the idea of taking a pill to increase breast size seems harmless, there are several health risks involved. Pills and supplements that are not approved by your doctor or physician may interact with other medications you are taking, and long-term side effects of changing hormonal levels have not been researched extensively to deem this a safe solution for breast enhancement. If you’re considering breast augmentation to improve your appearance, conventional treatments such as breast implant surgery and hormonal replacement therapy may offer more benefits than pills, creams and other unregulated products.

A board-certified plastic surgeon can guide you through the process of breast enhancement surgery so you know what to expect, and what types of side effects may be involved. Find a plastic surgeon in your area to set up a consultation and learn more about breast augmentation surgery and related procedures. Being an informed patient will help you make the best decision for your health and provides more options for improving your appearance.

THERE R MANY MORE....[/b]

Pregnancies create imbalances too. And giving birth. And lactation. And puberty, old age, and sex. OMG gotta stop all those at once! You are right, I should be getting implants. Surgery and anesthesia are undoubtedly much safer, and scars are beautiful

[bryony]

So, after literally months of research, you quote a .com site which is recommending implants? Hmm wonder if they have a vested interest?

Link to 2 more .com sites and the only .org site has a paper that is pretty old. The references are not more recent than 1999 and the author bandies the word "Estrogen" around as though it were a single hormone, not a family with "good" and "bad" members.

Not impressed.

....wow lol the academic review paper is legit and youre right its too bad there is not much research on the negative effects of these pills although we know it can make uterus tissue grow, which is not something to take lightly we dont know much else, the internet is filled with advertising for buying these pills, so yes after months of research all i could find were sites celebrating these pills. these sites sold the pills lol, and this forum is the only legit place to discuss these things,

i posted this stuff to get feedback , from ladies who i thought were on the same page as me trying to get growth naturally and safely obviously i dont believe in going for the plastic surgery route, wasnt trying to impress anyone, i am finishing a dissertation at Columbia that i do worry about !! this is just a forum about boobies =) ! lol so sorry if i didnt impress you ....

I guess i wonder if these pills were so effective, wouldnt the majority of women try em, and be seeing such results that breast implants wouldnt be needed, i talked to friends in europe, asia and brazil, colombia etc , all of them said that people down there have tried these herbal pills but have gotten no results and therefore Breast Actives in specific is like a joke... not a lot of people are on the bandwagon for this it seems for Breast Actives anyways, but perhaps coming up with a program the incorp. these herbs like ive read many women do may be safer and more affective.

im defit going to try and do that, and i would try out Breast Actives too if i can just find more people who are happy on it...and recommend it....



ciao ladies

Try looking through the forums for what has worked for others and buy the same herbs in bulk. The thing is most pills supply very little herbs, so results are often minimal or slow. Or Wahaika recommends the greenbush kit (greenbush.net) which has far more herbs in it, though buying in bulk is cheapest. Or be prepared to be patient.

Ya herbs and surgery aren't even in the same league on safety. Almost all studies so far have shown improved hormonal balance and reduced risk of cancer, even for phytoestrogens. An exception is PM which gets imbalance complaints, but still has been shown to prevent cancer. For those with existing imbalance problems vitex (only when used at or below 125mg) or dong quai are especially helpful. You can find studies at www.pubmed.gov.

Well Boobiesrnice,

I do hope you're not just shooting from the hip in your dissertation. This is a forum where people are trying to help each other. Keep confusing messages to yourself until you're sure, and do your research before posting.

Really, all phyto-estrogens make uterine cells grow. If you want to scare some more people: they even make MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines grow. But those are just the routine cheap experiments that are used to determine if something is estrogenic or not. Honestly, if an herb does nothing to estrogen sensitive cells, how is it ever going to make breasts grow?

Exactly! and lets face it if you do the research, any kind of herbal breast enhancement is kinder to the body than breast surgery has ever been.

HAHA, Breast Actives?! I tried that for four months and all I got was an extremely irregular period! On the fourth month my period lasted twice as long; it is usually 7 days and it lasted 14! No growth on my side. That was my experience. I was on the "public health forums" sharing what I was experiencing under a post composed by a Breast Actives' "successful" user. When I noticed it was not working as good as the successful woman stated, I started to doubt the company. Before I knew it, another person responded to her, giving proof that the pictures she was posting of her success were actually pictures from a surgeon's website! I cannot remember the website for you to see, and cannot retrieve it from this post because "public health forums" erased every sign of it! I started to spread the word on every Breast Actives post under public health forums, to my surprise, only neutral and good things that I have said about them is there. THEY EFFING CENSORED ME!!!!!!!! On a post I had written I said something like this, "'Nicole's' before and after pictures http... and the surgeon's website http..." for people to notice that it was the exact same picture. And now, when you see it, this is what it says: "http... 'Nicole's' before and after pictures" (http://www.publichealthforums.com/fp-25-...-work.html). If you noticed, I put Nicole in "" because that is not even Nicole (it's a surgeon's advertising picture), we don't even know if this Nicole even exists! Stupid publich health forums forgot to remove the "" from Nicole's....haha.

Anyways, think about it. From my experience, BA is BS!

Ladies I don't think we should blame Boobiesrnice for being worried and not want to risk her health.I am thinking of taking PM and have been browsing those forums the last weeks but I still have my doubts.I am very scared..
I have a big dilemma.. decent boobs and a better life( from better confidence) or health risk.

Even though phytoestrogens seem to play a protective role against cancer we still don't know in which doses and for how long.They say that NBE effects can be temporary and maybe a woman who wants to maintain her size should continue with maintance doses for months or even years.
I was thinking of taking PM as it seems the most effective but it s very potent and therefore more dangerous than weaker phytoestrogens..

I am like you,wishing for a better breast size naturally ,as I am a chicken to go for surgery and don t want to have fake breasts..I am just wishing that this NBE journey won"t be proved bitter in the long run.I want so much to believe in it!my relationships and my self confidence was ruined from my small breasts..

please ladies who know more on these issues ,leave your knowledge here.I want so desperately to give it a try but not risk my future..
