Re: Nutrition, exercise, and inflammation

Are you currently on chemotherpy or antihormonal treatment? If you are on treatment I would not recommend Boswellia because there is not enough evidence to know if it is safe or has any interactions with other drugs. I am attaching a link here about Boswellia. It appears to use many of the same pathways as some chemo agents thus has the potential to decrease effectiveness or interfere. I note a few cell line studies regarding various types of cancer but none in breast cancer. These studies have not been performed on human subjects therefore it is risky to apply to the population.

Hope this helps.
