Re: Cause of Breast Cancer: Estrogen Dominance or Microbes?

 Thanks, Hv! Your reply is so eye-opening for me!

By the way, is it alright to give Vitex to a breast cancer patient to counteract estrogen dominance? Is Vitex safe? What happens if a breast cancer patient is given Vitex but the patient is not really estrogen dominant (i.e. it was just mistakenly thought that she was), will it cause harm?

Keep in mind that vitex raises progesterone, which is a precursor for estrogen.  Here is an old post with a graph showing this:

Phytoestrogen sources are a better choice since they lock up estrogen receptors antagonizing estrogens.  

Another good choices is rice bran.  Rice bran feeds the flora that break down estrogen metabolites, provides phytoestrogens, binds to unconjugated estrogens. provides B vitamins for estrogen breakdown and provides anti-cancer gamma oryzanol.

I also recommend cleansing the liver with bitters to break down excess hormones and more B vitamins or trimethylglycine (TMG) to help the liver in breaking down excess hormones.
