Hello M A Dubois,

Well, of course, it would be wrong to imply that a bit of olive oil was all one needed to combat a HER2+ cancer! The research just indicates that at least some highly HER2 cells seem to become less active when exposed to oleic acid and that may make herceptin more effective. Unfortunately, it didn't do anything really dramatic like cause all the cancer cells to die. Still, if it might help and has no real downside, I figure it is worth a try.
