I had never heard of Pycnegenol until you mentioned it! I've heard of the inflamation/cancer possible connection and personally believe it to be true. But I haven't been able to find any natural ways to reduce inflamation. This sounds intriguing to me and I will have to research it and perhaps add it to my "cocktail."

I HAVE inflammation. Chronic inflammation caused by a surgery seven years ago. I have been in and out of physical therapy, take a muscle relaxant etc all in attempts to reduce the chronic inflammation in my abdominal muscles. Even if I did not have cancer, I would be open to ways to reduce the inflammation (and corresponding pain) associated with these core muscles.

A HUGE thank you for this information. It may be very beneficial not only to my cancer, but to my chronic pain caused by chronic inflammation.

I wonder if there is a connection between chronic inflammation and the particular variety of cancer that develops? Perhaps ER-, PR-? Just wondering. I will have to do some research to see if there appears to be any connection......definitely food for thought!
