Treating estrogen responsive cancer naturally

I have to agree with the naysayers here regarding hormone therapy. Additionally, nearly all of our soy is made in the USA and is GMO. I also just read an article that in its processing it is soaked in a bath that includes hexane and rinsed with chlorine.  Eww.

My mother had a hysterectomy prior to having cancer. She had a mastectomy, but no hormone therapy, rads or chemo. She lived 12 years before passing away from a non-cancer related cause, and she had no problems except a few hot flashes.

I took the DIM until I had to stop all supplements to see if my liver enzymes went down (they were quadruple what they should be). Now that they are nearly normal, I will be reintroducing them one at a time to see which one, if any, caused the increase liver enzyme levels. I had no problems at all with the DIM. It will be the first one I reintroduce.

Just returned from a conference about integrative/alternative medicine for cancer.  Do NOT, under any circumstances, consume anything that is Genetically Modified.  This from Dr Brian Clements - from the USA  (I'm in the UK)

Yes, ladybird give us some details. :-)

Not 1.30pm..............................11.30pm.  Ha!

Why no GMO? I don't get it.

I found a link about GMO vs BC.

http://protectourbreasts.org/gmos-are-linked-to-br...

I also read somewhere that when feeding lab rats with GMO food, they couldn't reproduce after three generations.

So let's round up all the GMO grains and feed them to the rats--two birds with one stone!  I was mostly interested in the RoundUP weedkiller reference in the second article.  Renewed search for organic happening here!

momine - but i recalled it says our bodies cannot digest the genetically modified substance...anyway, i stay away from GMO.

OK ladies, the majority of the speakers yesterday at the conference were from the USA so go find yourself a conference back home!!!  In a nutshell, this is what I gleaned from the conference yesterday:

It's basically all that we already know that the basic things we need to do are:

De-tox - be careful not to overdo it after chemo or rads; 

Sort out your psyche; 

Exercise; 

Rest/Sleep; 

Organic food; 

Have a belief and a passion in what you do

Your most powerful detox is to Let Go!!! The way you think is paramount.

All plastic leeches

Drink good water - the more alkaline the better (High pH).  Reverse osmosis is the best.

If you're in a crap relationship, or there is someone in your life who winds you up - lose them, save your life!!!

******************************

Cancer is an inflammatory illness.

Boswellia Serrata is good for anti inflammation as is Juicing.

Alcohol increases inflammation.

You need no more stress.  

You need Low cholesterol.

Ketogenic diet is good - but do it under supervision especially if you are slim to start with.

Morphine can cause cancer to spread.

Look into the availability of Naltrexone - but you can't take this with morphine.

************************************

Cancer is metabolic, it is not genetic.

Change your lifestyle.  Develop a +ve attitude

Wear only natural fibres - especially in your bras ladies and don't wear underwired bras

Infra red saunas are good

OBVIOUSLY.............................NO SUGAR and NO DAIRY!!!

Vit B17 - from Apricot kernels

****************************************************

Even if you have surgery you still have to treat the body - cancer is systemic.

YES FOODS: Spinach, Kale, Cucumber, Broccoli, Avocado, Celery, Red Pepper are just some of the good alkalising foods

Ghee (has butyric acid in it so is OK) Coconut oil/milk, Lemons, Lentils, All green and red Veg, carrots, potatoes, manouka honey.

NO FOODS: Beef, Pork, (Lamb is OK), Sugar, Corn Syrup, Milk, White flour

Cancer inhibitors:

Cod Liver OIl, Vit D3, Boswellia Serrata, MELATONIN esp for BC............count yourself lucky ladies, it's illegal in this country!!!, Ascorbic acid, Sodium selenite, Butyric acid, Iodine (nascent), Fish Oil, Turneric + black pepper, Nicotinamide, Lactoferrin

DCA ( Dichloroacetate) esp for BC

The two things that need to be addressed are the immune system and the mitochondria

DIM for BC

*********************************************************

That's it in summary.  I said I'd write it and I have.  Please don't assume these are my views, I am simply passing on what was said by speakers at the conference on Friday (even tho' I agree with 99.9999999999999999% of it)  

Please don't deluge me with questions as a result of this post.  You will have to find your own sources for this and it's probably sensible to find a practitioner who can monitor you and care for you during this time.

Good luck - hope this helps 

Thank you Ladybird! Awesome info! 

Thanks Ladybird for posting!

I would warn ladies against eating soy.  I drink 12 oz freshly home made soy milk a day for 10 years before I was diagnosed with BC.  No family history what so ever. My cousin in china told me more and more women over there are diagnosed now also. The few coworkers she knew all ate excessive soy for years.  Ironically those ladies and I ate soy to prevent BC.  Maybe it's because we ate GMO soy, or any soy? Since  the ladies here already are at high risk, please stay away.  There are plenty of other food to eat.  No point risk your life.  

Juneping I read that about soy also! 

It's corn and soy is like 95% GMO in the US. My percentage might be off but it's a high number, I don't touch the stuff at all anymore. 

Flaviarose I read that also about corn and seen a documentory I can't remember which one but it explain the gene slicing and how it kills your gut flora and cause lots of digestive problems a long with other issues. 

i didn't think about soy source before.  Juneping, you are right, they are GMO here too.  But since it's only used as sauce, not drink it everyday, it's less significant.  It's hard to eliminate it completely, just as much as we can.  At least it's fermented as soy sauce.

I know the soy milk I made at home was GMO since I bought the non-organic beans here.  So that might be the big no no.  Anyway, now I try not to tough soy other than soy sauce sparsely. 

Hi, I am new to these forums.  I have just picked up my bottle of Letrozole.  After reading the list of side effects, I am wondering if there are any studies on the benefits vs. risks of taking A.I.'s specifically for stage 1 node negative cancers. Mine is halfway up the scale of being estrogen positive on the oncotype test, it is projesterone negative. I had a radical mastectomy due to extremely dense breasts. I chose not to do chemo based on oncotype test.  Also, I'm also not sure what thread would be best for me. Any suggestions? Pretty nervous about starting this medicine.  Otherwise healthy.
