This combination of diet and exercise is certainly very critical for all bc patients. The established medical care team does not push this as much as they obviously should is an economic incentive issue. Drug makers do not benefit from this regimen while other chemo or even Herceptin use has a great deal of profit incentives although the advantage from the use is far less than the combination reported in this article. Even oncs may have the conflict of interest issue on this subject.
