it's all mud till you pull it apart
I met with a nutricianist once who said trying to stop cancer chemo actions with an anti-oxydan pill is like trying to put out a nuclear attack with a fire extinguisher. Although, I am more in the middle of the road, we have to look at the overall benefit. For example, CoQ10 is an anti-oxydent but the benefits for the cardio do out weight the adverse.
I have heasrd that soy and diary is bad for the phyto-estrogenic effects; should that matter if you are ER(-)?? Maybe because ER status can change in the progression of the disease. Milk is also bad because it may contain anti-biotics which also fuel ER cancers.
I would concentrate on the following:
CoQ10 for cardio, IP6 for PI3K inhibition, DIM and I3K for proper Est metabaolism, Curcumin for anti-tumor, PI3K and COX2 inhibition, oleic acid, curcumin for her3 degradation. Flaxseed oil for Omega 3 balance and HER2 degradation. REservratol and B6 for nueral functioning, not to mention that all of these have anti-carcinogen properties!!! Best,
Al
