I use EVOO in its natural state (unheated) daily on toast and especially in salads. My preference is for organic high quality oil. That said, I also take 4 caps a day of an encapsulated form of EVOO that I order from Swanson Vitamins, www.SwansonVitamins.com. Theirs is organic.

What is an ideal dose? No idea. I've tried to ferret that information out on the web many times with no success. Since EVOO is calorie dense, I have settled on the above program. I also take encapsulated Borage oil in the morning and encapsulated Primrose Oil in the evening for GLA. Super EPA (fish oil) is also supposed to assist Herceptin so I take a cap twice daily. To get my ligans I grind organic golden flax seeds and add a tablespoon to my yogurt and cereal.

At the end of the day, all of this stuff is good for your heart whether it truly does have an effect on the Her-2 or not. However, I am a believer in naturapathy in conjunction with conventional medicine, so I feel that it is probably beneficial!
