Estogen Blocking Book

I just ordered the anti-estrogen diet from Amazon.com.  It talks about food, supplements, environmental estrogens, etc.  What to eat and what to avoid.  Haven't read it yet, just got it yesterday after someone recommended it on another board.

I have been reading with great interest, the Budwig Protocol.  This diet is loaded with flaxseed and flaxseed oils, along with many other cancer fighting vegetables and fruits.  You can google it, and there is also an active yahoo group that is devoted to following this diet with many success stories. 

I highly recommend a book called Beating Cancer With Nutrition by Dr. Patrick Quillin.

He is former VP of Cancer Treatment Centers of America.  The book not only gives good nutrition information along with sample menus and recipes, he also provides supplements for various needs.  He does not sell the supplements, but gives suggestions of 3 companies that formulate good quality supplement + he tells you if $ is an issue, which ones to focus on!

I am using chemo as I have locally advanced b/c, but I plan to go totally holistic post surgery.  My oncologist approves of his book and said she is familiar with him!

I also am taking Lugol's iodine which is said to be estrogen blocking as well as has been proven to eradicate fybrocystic breast disease, which many think is a precursor to b/c.  You can Google Lugol's iodine and find an abundance of information on it.

Thanks Carol-I have been looking for a such a book with a personal recommendation.

I'm reading Waking The Warrior Goddess - Harnessing the Power of Nature and Natural Medicines to Achieve Extraordinary Health, by Christine Horner, MD, FACS

Good thing I bought the book...I'm highlighting like crazy.  Going to go back through a second time and jot down notes to take to my appointment with my dr.

A very good/educational book I'm currently reading is...............

"What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer"

'How Hormone Balance Can help Save Your Life' by, John R. Lee, M.D., David Zava PH.D., and Virginia Hopkins.

This book answers a lot of questions for me while giving me more info. on breast cancer than ANY of my Dr.s ever did. They talk about the natural 'progesterone' balancing out the estrogen without having to take AI's. Most BC is er+ because we produce too much of that lovely hormone. We can actually balance it by using the progesterone cream. (in natural form only). 

Although the ovaries do produce much of our bodies' estrogen,  we also have glands which produce it as well. Even men produce estrogen.
