Fire cupping

I'm not sure which category this belong to, as it also applies to GG's, but if anyone else here has any experience with this I would to know!
Fire cupping is an interesting therapy for removing toxins from the body, but also has many other desirable effects..
My Background..
I was always brought up to believe mother nature has the best intention, and natural remedies should be favoured before resorting to drugs. Throughout my teen years with the knowledge passed down from my family, it seemed any ailment could be cured by a simple herb, diet or practice..
My family doctor, whom I've seen very few times for any real concerns, also seemed to follow this approach.. He is of Japanese decent, and has made me feel welcome for several "non traditional" treatments. Some of which included acupuncture and cupping in my earlier years.
After a few of these treatments I was impressed by the results and did a lot more research on the subject. Although acupuncture is way beyond my scope, I took to "fire cupping" and of course my research led me to cupping as a form of natural breast enhancement.
Following a not so strict regiment of this treatment for a few months did lead to some results, but young and impatient I gave up too soon. I did see results, however. I noticed my nipples and aureola almost double in size, but i wanted breasts!
Recently I have revisited this subject, and found all progress is not lost :) This simple treatment can lead to fully devolved breasts(if not small), and even lactation in men. And although milk may dry up(as with any woman) the effects do not reverse themselves.
This prompted me to take up the practice once again. Although I am far from following the strict regimen that adoptive mothers are suggested for lactation, am am once again noticing some welcomed changes to my body :)

I am very interested to hear if anyone one else on this forum has tried this approach to natural breast enhancement. Or any other great reactions to cupping..

This link is a copy/paste of one of the best I've seen. It has a great amount of info on all the different hormones included in breast development, and lactation..

When I find the site this was copied from I will post it, as it was much more informative..
Interested in responses from the ladies here..

ahhh, the way I read this it isn't homeopathic at all. There is some serious playing with prescription drugs, hormone mimics, etc. Something I would definitely NOT be doing without a few doctors running the show.
They say that it may or may not also happen just by stimulating the breasts, but don't seem too confident of that.

Well I was wondering about this, and whether there was anything to it, so I decided to try it myself.
First of all, for a few years I've been trying some of the natural herbs that suppress androgens, like saw palmetto, and those that are estrogen mimics like clover, soy, etc. I've seen some very slight breast development, but very slight.
I am not prepared to go for the real hormones, maybe sometime I will, but not yet.
So I bought the Noogleberry breast pump and have been trying that. And I think that there is some difference. Now I don't expect that I will ever get to the size I'd like, but I'm kind of pleased that there has been some change.
I guess real hormones would need to be included in the regimen to get full development. But for now it's interesting to see what happens without it.
I'll keep you post of the developments :)

Cupping either does or does not work for toxin removal, depending on who you talk to. A simple Google search should tell you if there is any relevant research on effectiveness.

As far as breast enlargement goes, well, sure. It will have an effect. But the size of the cups is usually quite small, so you'd get nipple enlargement rather than breast enlargement, and maybe pointy boobies, but probably not a lot in the way of breasts, I think. Very large cups, or a breast pump with a very wide mouth might do it for you - might.

And keep in mind that herbs are drugs. Just not the ones the AMA usually cares about. For example lavender, all by itself or even just in bath soaps, has been known to occasionally produce breasts in pre-adolescent boys. So read up.

That is right Paulette.
The Noogleberry system has larger cups specifically for breast enlargement. I'm fairly skeptical about the toxin removal claims, for one thing there isn't a clear understanding of what that even means.
Yes, the natural drugs are not necessarily safer than others. And I don't have anything against using the real hormones, but for now I'm curious whether the all-natural approach will have significant results.
