I know much of this may be repetetive, but I found it VERY informative, specific and provides much information in 1 article. Take care and God bless.

Yes, Rhonda, this has a lot of diet and supplement info PLUS the research in one package. Thus it is rather long, but there is a printable version and worth doing and keeping as a reference.
Interesting as to what diets lowered the chances of other cancers than breast. We all should be mindful that once we have one cancer we are at greater risk to develop other cancers. Not what you wanted to read, but it is true, and maybe more impetus to try harder on our diets.

Reminded me that my med onc had told me that 1000mg of vit D was what I should consider taking in the dark winter months. Was on my way to the supplements store and will get some more vit D!

Also interesting that the author is from a college town where I got my final degree! Also the place where I learned to make my own bread (whole wheat with wheat germ added - but don't do this now that such good bread is ready made!) and to recycle everything I could - and that was in 1971!

Thanks for all of the interesting articles, Rhonda. I've been taking CoQ10 since diagnosis several years ago but not really aware that taking it with an oil could improve how it works. I found other interesting things in this article too.

How much Vitamin D is too much? I am taking a multivitamin everyday. Is it OK if

I take 1000mg of vitamin D in addition to that?

Hello Rhonda,

I have read the article and with all due respect, I don't buy it. To say they just a simple diet change can reduce cancers by 60% - 70% is too simplistic. I think there is something far greater at work here. I read that in 1900, there chances of getting BC was 1 in 400. Now it is 1 in 8!! I don't believe that people ate "healthier" 100 years ago, but I do believe what they ate was different than what we eat now.
Call it environmental toxins, heavy metals, etc. I don't think that's it's what we eat but what's in what we eat.

I am a staunch supporter of CO-Q10 but when you read the article, it's pretty questionable. But still I think it's one of the best supplements to take.

My always questioning mind tells me that we shouldn't believe everything we read.

Regards,
Al
