I remember my sister was told in her mid-20s that she needed a hysterectomy. She had a "growth".

Her boyfriend at the time was a young man newly arrived from Taiwan. He urged her to see his doctor, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

My sister went to see her boyfriend's doctor, who told her she didn't need a hysterectomy but only a magnesium supplement. She started taking a daily magnesium supplement and the "growth" went away, never to return.

Another great post, Unbekoming.
