Thanks, Rhonda, these were excellent links. I enjoyed reading them and they certainly encourages me to continue eating the "unofficial" bc healthy diet.
Again, I think a preventive diet is so much easier than relying on toxic meds. The pharmaceutical companies and American economy have much to gain financially with oncology drug sales, despite the fact that many drugs are toxic and cause other dangerous health problems. I really think that diet, preferably with organic produce/products, is equal in importance with less toxicty and sometimes even more important than taking oncology meds for preventive measures against bc relapse. I just wish the medical community and Amer. Cancer Society would advocate the cancer diet.

Rhonda, I might add that another important supplement is flaxseed, which has ALA that blocks her2 pathway tremendously.

Rhonda,
Thank you for your list. I am still working on my BC diet. I seem to supplement it with wine and chocolate. I am having a good summer.
Hope you are too. I love this site and all of my buddies. I no longer am scared to view it.
Love to all, Catherine

Please see the Greek diet post, balancing your omega threes and sixes etc. There are a host of trial references there and you will find more using the search facility.

Thanks for the information Rhonda. As usual I am confused with amounts, for example turmeric - is it enough to have it in a few meals per week or should I take supplements? I'm from the UK and my oncologist doesn't give any advice in diet or supplements.
Thanks
Morgan

Morgan...
I use "true" serving sizes. As for turmeric, I sprinkle some on my salad each day. Take care and God bless.

Hi all I am a newbie to this site I was diagnosed april 2006 lumpectomy right breast 1 out of 17 lymph nodes + e 20% + pr- her2+++.stage 11 at time of surgery 49 years old. refused chemo and rads. total diet change fresh fruit and veggies no beef or dairy or suger have a coffee once or twice most days lots of herbal teas and just black tea and a lot of supplements had the bevy of tests in april 07 and all clear so far so ladies do try the diet its really hard at first but soon you get used to it I don't drink tap water never have just rain water or purified water and i try never to eat or drink anything with artificial colours or preservatives. Would really like to hear others alternative ideas cheers and best wishes Pat p.s my biggest regret is I allowed them to biopsy my tumours. Had I been thinking right this would not have taken place.
