I'm stage 4 metastataic to every  bone in my body, with a few skin mets by masectomy scar and plueral effusion to both lungs.  I am thinking of trying an alternative treatment.  Wondering if any of you have any info or experience with these two protocols.

I am currenlty taking Aromasin (about 3 months so far) but I know that this is limited and figure I have nothing to lose.

I was DX w ILC May '05, immediate mas and recon '06, mets Sept '07. 

Sisters, let me know your thoughts.

Dear MJ,

My mother is stage 4 after her intial diagnosis almost 5 years ago.  I started her on the Budwig Protocol.  She does most of it.  She does many other things also.  She is 82 years old, and feels pretty darn good.  She does no conventional drug therapy, but recently had IMRT to her 11th thoracic.  A tumor there was causing significant pain.  The Budwig Protocol works slowly.  It may take 3-6 months to see significant improvement.  If I were you, I would do something more drastic.  This is the best site on the net (in my opinion) for alternative treatments.  Blessings to you MJ and you will be in our prayers.  http://www.healingcancernaturally.com/budwig_protocol.html

Which is better flax seeds or Brevail?  Does anyone know how many tablespoons of flax seeds one should take?  I'm trying to do 2 a day.

I found this post when I was doing a search.  I hope its okay to post it here. http://community.breastcancer.org/topic/78/conversation/693967

HI LADIES, FOUND THE E-MAIL DR. HORNER SENT TO ME. MY DR. DIDN'T RECOMMENT IT, AND THE FOLLOWING LETTER WAS DR. HORNER'S RESPONSE..

<font>Your doctor is not familiar with the medical literature on flax seeds and breast cancer. Flaxseeds are considered the most powerful anti-breast cancer food you can eat. Lilian Thompson is the world's most premier researcher on flaxseeds and have found that they inhibit the growth of and shrink tumors. Brevail is made of the lignans found in flax seeds and they have over a dozen ways that they deter the growth of breast cancer.</font>

<font>There have been no studies with Brevail and Arimidex. Arimidex works by blocking an enzyme that makes estrogen. Brevail also blocks this enzyme. In addition,  Brevail helps to lower the risk of breast cancer in 10 other ways: it lowers the overall production of estrogen in our bodies, blocks environmental estrogens from attaching to breast tissue, creates more of a "good" protective type of estrogen, protects our breast tissue from the damaging effects of environmental toxins, decreases 3 different growth factors associated with the growth of breast cancer, and lengthens the menstrual cycle. Women who take Brevail also report that their perimenopausal symptoms including hot flashes and mood swings improve. The company has a money-back guarantee on their product, so if for any reason you are not satisfied, you can contact them and get your money back.</font>

 

<font> </font><font>If you must take Tamoxifen you'll be interested in knowing that a study last year showed that the lignans found in flax (what Brevail is made from) enhances the effectiveness of Tamoxifen. </font>

 

<font> </font><font>You should also be doing everything research shows will help stop breast cancer growth. I just completed years of studying the medical literature to discover ways woman can help protect themselves from and fight breast cancer. I found about 40 different "natural" approaches with good solid research showing substantial effects.

 

I have a book that was recently released called Waking the Warrior Goddess: Dr. Christine Horner's Program to Protect Against and Fight Breast Cancer that describes all of these approaches. Here are a few suggestions:

1) Favor a plant based diet high in fresh organically grown fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
2) Eat 3 tablespoons of ground organic flaxseeds everyday (or take Brevail) along with 1 TBS of fresh organic flax oil (Barlean's is an excellent brand)
3) Drink green tea 6-8 cups per day or take a green tea supplement
4) Take a good multivitamin every day. I recommend New Chapter's "Every Woman."
5) Cook  with the spices Turmeric, garlic, and rosemary or take them as a supplement
6) Avoid red meat -- especially grilled or well done meat
7) Avoid sugar, alcohol, smoking, saturated animal fats, and transfats
8) The following supplements have been found to lower your risk: Brevail, CoQ10, Maitake mushrooms, CLA, Wakame seaweed (don't take until you are through with the radioactive iodine treatments because it is high in iodine) , Zyflamend by New Chapter herbs
9) Regular aerobic exercise can reduce your risk of breast cancer by 30- 50%
10) Go to bed by 10 PM in a perfectly dark room.</font><font> </font>

<font>

11) For convenience, cost effectiveness and quality assurance, I worked with Enzymatic Therapy to make a supplement called Protective Breast Formula. It has 7 supplements in 1 capsule. You can order it on www.drchristinehorner.com or call 866-795-3517.


I hope this has been helpful,</font>
