Has anyone followed a program like EVE's and got results?
Just wondering if it only worked for her, or if it has worked for others?

I think a couple of people said they did, but I can't remember their names now.

I don't think many people have copied it exactly, but I remember hearing of many who used versions of it or somewhat similar programs.

Yes people have used it, read through the profile pages to find the variations others have used of Eve's method.

I've been on Eve's program (plus other things) since last year and have grown 1 1/2 inches so far. I'm currently doing a liver cleanse but plan on going back to it as soon as I'm done. I started out using capsules but have tracked down all the ingredients in dried and powdered form (except for the soy). It's so much cheaper that way. The milligram scale I ordered also finally showed up (after a whole month!). I'll be restarting my program in about 2 weeks or so.

Wow Frosted Mint - great results!

Where did you get the scales from?

Do you have a 5ml medicine spoon at home for a little experiment?

Hi Louise,

The scale came from canadianweigh.com. It's accurate to .01 grams. I have a 5 ml teaspoon. Do you want me to measure something for you?

Yes please!

Can you find out what weight of each herb you have is a level 5ml tsp - if you fill the spoon high then use a knife to take the top off to make it flat. Ideally if you could measure each a few times to get an average! As you can tell I'm a nerd!

So you want to know how many mgs are in each level teaspoon of all the herbs used in Eve's program?

Yes please, whatever herbs you've got - obviously you need to tell us what strength extracts and stuff you've used.

Hi Louise,

I just finished measuring everything. I levelled my 5ml teaspoon off with a knife and weighed each herb 3 separate times. None of the herbs are in extract form. The results are as follows:

barley- 1805 mg ( Vitamin World )

alfalfa- 2175 mg ( Now Foods)

fennel- 2090 mg (I grind this myself)

fenugreek- 2530 mg (same as above)

hops- 520 mg (same as above)

flaxseed- 1935 mg (same as above)

oats- n/a (I have a bag of milky oat seed but haven't ground it up yet)

soy- n/a (still taking this one in pill form)


My grinder does a pretty good job so the results would be comparable if I bought the herbs already ground.

Frostedmint - you are my new best friend! Thankyou thankyou thankyou!

I'll have to have a look at this stuff a bit more thoroughly either tomorrow or Tuesday as I'm knackered!

I've never really tried the liquid extracts for NBE. Is it more effective?? It's too confusing to me and it seems to be more expensive.

Im wanting to try to do an Eve-esque program, but its not fairing as well as Id like. no local places sell hops, oat, soy, bere, barley or fennel in powder form. Im stuck on a military base with crap for stores. I have gotten my fullness back however since i got done with boot camp and training. I dont know if its from starting birth control again or the concoction of Fenugreek saw palmetto, vitex and flax seed im taking though.

Hi Sarah,
How long have you been on the program to have grown 1 1/2"? Congratulations!

hey Frostedmint: how do you take your herbs? do you encapsule them yourself or just mix them in juice or something? how many mg /day do you take?

i noticed someone mention extracts, do you take extracts? if so do you buy them or make them?

having to wiegh them out and everything every day sounds like alot of work.

jackie: extracts are very effective as they are 3x as potent as dried herbs, and they absorbe twice as fast. a small amount of extract is equivilent to double the amount of dried herbs in capsules. that's why it is reccomended to consume both the herbs and the extracts. that way you are getting more and are bennefiting more from two things.

Honeydew-Assuming you meant me, it took 4 months.

May-I've been on a month long break but will be restarting again tomorrow. I plan on taking the herbs with yogurt like Eve did. I'll be using the same amounts (mgs) as she did as well. None of the herbs I have are in extract form. I bought a milligram scale so I don't mind putting in the extra effort. Eve's pictures are motivation enough!

Yes, I have program page. I'll be updating it soon. My new program will be a pared down version of the original.

May - extracts are usually 4:1 but I also have 10:1 and 15:1, it should tell you the strength on the packaging.

I didn't know you could make your own extracts! I deliberately avoided buying extracts because Eve didn't use them in her program. Also, I don't really understand that whole thing anyway so it's just as well. Today was the first day of my new program and once I become more used to it I'll probably make up one large batch of herbs instead of weighing everything on a daily basis.

I've grown another 1/2 inch. That makes it 2" so far. I've gone from 34AA to 34B in 8 months. Needless to say I'm very happy and cannot wait to buy some new bras now that I actually have something to put in them!

I'm not sure but in a few months when my hormones are balanced out I think I might do her routine as it sounds pretty promising.

Also...

So if you consume the herbs AND also the same but in extract form... would this be expensive?



Does anyone know where exactly a good online store is to purchase extracts of the herbs? And how many drops to use? If it even comes in droppers? lol.
