How to block her2 up to 70%!!!!!!!!!!!!

If tea consumption drops significantly in Japanese women who adopt more of a western diet.... tea may be a significant key to that puzzle as well.

Thanks, Robin.

Hi -
This is interesting and I do use as many pathways as I feel have been shown to be blocked by competent studies. Had not heard of the FAS/black tea thing.

I have been off caffeine for years - since mets diagnosis. Only get a little from the organic dark chocolate I nibble on.

Wonder if there is another food item that would work against the FAS that we are not yet talking about??

I feel that dietary changes plus Herceptin have worked to keep me in long remission. I am pretty religious about those changes.

this is always an area which confounds me. I am triple postive, I guess still, and sometimes what inhibits in Her2 positivity is proliferative in er positivity. I never know which of these things I should do and I AM willing to do these things and have done in the past, but then got so confused between drug interactions and the intricacies of pathology. Thoughts?

thank you!

Joy, you want to block the er and her2, her3 pathway simultaneously. I think that is possible to some degree with diet as turmeric and black tea block the er pathway; green tea, black tea, omega threes fatty acids, ALA and GLA block the her2 pathway; and finally black tea also blocks one of her2's major heterdimerizing partners, her3.

Most people don't know if they are her1+, unless they've gone out of their way to be tested.However, to those who are her1+, a natural inhibitor MAY be genistein and other isoflavons:
