Re: Olive oil synergistically enhances Herceptin

I have no idea but used olive oil diligently during Herceptin and use it now. I took at least 2 tablespoons a day off the spoon and then used it for salad dressing and anything else. All that's different now is I don't take it off the spoon.

I also took olive leaf capsules as a supplement. I took 6 per day at that time but only take 2 per day now. Beta glucans also are known to enhance Herceptin and I took that as Brewer's yeast and maitake mushroom capsules (6 per day during Herceptin and 2 per day now). I broke up the 6 per day as 2 with breakfast, 2 with lunch and 2 with dinner of both the maitake and olive leaf).

This is just what I did based on my own research. Who knows what worked but at the end of this month, I will be a 9 year survivor. Maybe it was meant to be or maybe I helped myself along. I also take (and took) Omega 3, krill, curcumin, aspirin and CoQ 10.
