I would be fascinated to know whether those suffering from herceptin brain
1. Balance omega threes and sixes
2. Take omega three supplements
3. Flax oil /seed how much
4. Fish oil of DHA EPA supplement and how much.
Whilst of course thaere are probably lots of factors, if herceptin as reported does not cross the brain barrier it must be a secondary cause rather than herceptin itself acting on the brain.
I have previously asked if Herceptin blocks the fats pathways based on seeing it suggested in a trial that it intervenes in the fat making pathways. To date nobody has clarified this.
The brain relies heavily on DHA and AA. DHA should help both the brain and mitigate against cancer. Searches on many mental conditions and DHA conclude with suggestions for possible positive outcome and further investigation. Bipolar altzheimers etc.
Excess omega six over three with reference to normal tissue has been linked in trial with brain tumours from biopsiesof tumours.
IF AA is short it might be a double edged issue due to it sitting at the top of the inflamatory pathways.
The body is protective of DHA at low levels but I have not seen suggestions of the same protection for AA.
Please see posts on omega three.
Please consult with your medical advisor on dietary change.
