Thanks so much GorgeousBlonde and Iled34A for the links! You guys got me searching and I found some more info as well.
Iled34A, you're right - in 99% of the links I saw, soy lecithin is not recommended... it's highly processed, like you said, and can apparently cause some problems. Pure lecithin supplements or drops seem to be recommended, or a good alternative would be eggs, nuts, cabbage, or dandelion. I found this on Earth Clinic:
"According to Carlson Wade author of Lecithin Book, What You Need to Know, published 1980. The best lecithin is pure lecithin granules which contain over 95 percent phosphatides and about 2 percent soybean oil. Compare that to liquid lecithin which contains approximately 61 percent phosphatides and about 37 percent soybean oil. He cautions against Lecithin Powder which may be altered therefore may be not pure lecithin."
I also came across this forum about homeopathy and NBE (why didn't I think of that before?!). Here are 2 google links to a bunch of posts and questions about this:
First link
Second link
In case they don't work, the site is called "ABC Homeopathy" and you just type in "breast enhancement" and/or "breast enlargement" in the search function and some posts will come up about some homeopathic remedies. Lecithin is one of the main things prescribed!
And here is a summary of homeopathy and NBE:

In fact, if you just type in "homeopathy breast enhancement" in google, you should get a lot of results. I know we're all technically doing a form of homeopathic NBE, in the sense that it's natural and involves herbs, but this seems to be a bit different, as I hadn't heard of many of the things mentioned for NBE on the homeopathic sites! It seems while we're on a more flat out herbal route, people in the East are on a more homeopathic route. If anyone's interested,
here's a quick explanation on the difference between herbalism and homeopathy:
Basically:
"Q: What is the difference between homeopathy and herbalism?
A: Homeopathy typically uses medicines in high dilution. Also, herbalism prescribes herbs based on their use in traditional medicine, while homeopathy prescribes them based on the law of similars. However, the uses of herbal and homeopathic medicines sometimes overlap and a medicine is used to treat the same condition, both herbally and homeopathically. The use of Black Cohosh during labor is one example of this overlap."
Very interesting! The two main things that come up repeatedly to help with homeopathic NBE seem to be lecithin and Sabal Serrulata Q which, from what I understand, is the homeopathic version of Saw Palmetto.
So awesome digging GorgeousBlonde, you really hit the jackpot! Thanks for opening up a new door
