Re: HELP! Cannot tolerate Hormonal Therapy...ADVICE appreciated!

Welcome Renee to our support group. When I read your post I remembered that I had seen research being done on mushrooms as AIs so I did a quick search.

I attached a link to an article (there may be more recent ones) and a link to the researcher's page. I didn't have time to read it completely but hope it helps to give you a start in the right direction.

Hopefully more knowledgeable members will chime in with more ideas.

Best of luck to you.
