A lipoxygenase inhibitor in breast cancer brain metastases.

The complication of multiple brain metastases in breast cancer patients is a life threatening condition with limited success following standard therapies. The arachidonate lipoxygenase pathway appears to play a role in brain tumor growth as well as inhibition of apoptosis in in-vitro studies. The down regulation of these arachidonate lipoxygenase growth stimulating products therefore appeared to be a worthwile consideration for testing in brain metastases not responding to standard therapy. Boswellia serrata, a lipoxygenase inhibitor was applied for this inhibition. Multiple brain metastases were successfully reversed using this method in a breast cancer patient who had not shown improvement after standard therapy. The results suggest a potential new area of therapy for breast cancer patients with brain metastases that may be useful as an adjuvant to our standard therapy.

Since my sister who is in the US has been speaking to Dr. Flavin I dont particularly know where she bought the Boswella from. However, email Dr. Flavin and she will let you know. From what I remember she is non-profit and believes whole heartedly in Boswella to cure cancer in the brain (breast or otherwise). Almost all patients that she has recommended this treatment have shown full response in 12-16 weeks. I believe my sister bought the tablets of a generic health store. The current dosage my mom is taking is 800 mg/ day.......and no apperent side effects from the drug. We spoke to our onc for any interactions with chemo and our onc who refuses almost anything unconventional was suprisingly OK with my mom taking this. I hope I am not jinxing my mom, but with God's will I believe my mom will be cured of this wretched disease (Only brain, everywhere else NED)
