Treating estrogen responsive cancer naturally

.

Yeah, I'm not sure what my mother-in-law is going to do with her laying hens when they stop laying. She's pretty attached to them! Although she's not a vegetarian, I really can't see her eating her babies. 

Oncowarrior, did you ever hear of a stewing hen?  (Piper looks sly)

I have a good book by Russell Blaylock and it has some good stuff about flax so I will try to summarize as best I can:  

*Very rich source of omega-3, which will significantly suppress angiogenesis.  Omega 6 oils promote angiogenesis.    

*Has extremely high levels of lignans, which are composed of anti-cx chemicals which are converted by the friendly bacteria in the colon into enterolactone and enterodiol.  These both have powerful suppressing effects on BC.  The colon is also the organ, along with the liver, that will help rid you of "used" estrogen and keep it from being turned into the more harmful 16-alpha-hydroxy form.  It's not the estrogen we need to be afraid of--it's the imbalance of 16-A-H with the more much more benign 2-hydroxyestrone that's the real problem.  

*Lignans have antioxidant, antiproliferative, antiestrogen, and antiangiogenesis properties.  

*In the Finnish-Kuopio BC study, women with the highest levels of enterolactone had significantly lower BC risk than the women with low levels and that goes for pre and post menopausal women.  

*Lignans block aromatase and IGF-1.  

BTW, I don't bother to grind mine--I keep my seeds in a little cup and chew on them when I'm relaxing or driving in my car.  I used to snack on my way to somewhere and I drive a lot, but now I chew on flax seeds and it's quite enjoyable--I keep the bulk of them in the freezer.  I also take the oil and someone told me yesterday that if you buy Barlean's brand oil and tell them at the store that you have cancer they will give you a discount.  

I was also told to avoid flaxseed. My CA is 90-100% estrogen positive, so that may be why,

Any ideas on this ?  I recently started eating it, and I am nearly 98% ER PR pos.

Thanks for any add'l info!

Purple, I stick mainly to chia seeds. I don't know if they are any better, but I'm paranoid of flax.

We have had a lot of animal shelters being overrun with chickens. People are buying them for the eggs not realizing that they don't lay forever. They get attached and don't want to kill them. One shelter had 160-some chickens left in their parking lot in crates. They are having a hard time because they are set up to care for cats and dogs, not chickens. I know one person that raises chickens for the eggs, but who doesn't eat meat. They have the chickens processed and donate the meat to a local food bank. I've not heard of killing off the males, but I have heard of chickens that have been genetically modified to have larger breasts (because white meat is so popular), and also to come to maturity 4-5 weeks earlier. I can eat chicken now, but if I had them I'd name them and that would be the end of my chicken eating.

I agree, Mini; if it's got a name, it can never be dinner.

Have not tried it, but it does not sound too promising:

fascinating.  has telepathins seemingly &is contained in another rare indian botanical oroxylum indicum.  could find little or nothing about that.

exbrxgrl-  I too have been avoiding all diary including eggs for the most part. The main thing is if the chickens have been fed w/hormones like most animal meat. I drink almond milk-low cal , no sugar and NO hormones. The problem is lack of info on most labeling. I avoid soy too which is often used I vegan recipes. I hope to see a naturalist Onc very soon and maybe they can advise more on this. Regular MO ever has dietary advise just drugs.

harmalines are telepathins  theyre contained in tobacco, (tempers anger weed), penganum harmala a nursery botanical, passion flower, I actually grow one of these flowers & am thinking of juicing a leaf or 2, banesteropsi caapi the sa halucinogen.  have never before heard of chrysin, another alcoloid I guess in passiflora anyway.  never knew they had curative powers except for a sleep aid.  nyquill had harmalins in it for a while then took them out for unknown reasons.

I've never had a peanut butter allergy that I knew of but my holistic doc did some testing and found that I have a slight sensitivity to PB so told me that while I have the BC I should leave it alone.  I've been eating almond butter instead and even though almonds are not my favorite nut, I love the stuff.  

No Purple, I've never had a reaction that I know of, but eating foods that you're sensitive to can take a toll on your immune system.  It might be a small one but we can nickel and dime ourselves to death so it's best to leave it alone for now.  Besides, I've found I like the almond butter better.
