Re: BREAST CANCER, PLEASE HELP: diet, cleanses, supplements, over-all plan

Dear Janet, sorry to hear of your situation. I have a few suggestions, some you seem to know about. I hope it helps. I will repost more info later. I have a busy schedule today, but I will try ASAP!
As a note there is a great ebook full of cancer alternatives found on my website that may help. I do not usually advertise, but due to the time restraint, this may be an option: http://www.wellnut.com/Alternative-Health-Books.html


Breast Cancer Alternatives!

Possibly Effective:

BETA-CAROTENE
Breast cancer
There is some evidence that a diet rich in beta-carotene may reduce the risk of Breast Cancer in premenopausal women, especially those at high risk due to family history or high alcohol intake.


FOLIC ACID
Breast cancer
Consuming dietary folate seems to decrease the risk of breast cancer, especially in women who also consume high amounts of dietary methionine, vitamin B12, or pyridoxine (vitamin B6) .


GREEN TEA
Breast cancer
Drinking green tea seems to help reduce the risk of recurrence of breast cancer.


LENTINAN
Breast cancer
Administering lentinan by injection as adjunctive treatment seems to help improve response in patients being treated for breast cancer.


OLIVE OIL
Breast cancer
People who have higher dietary intake of olive oil seem to have a lower risk of developing breast cancer.


SOY
Breast cancer
There is some evidence from population studies that Asian women who eat a diet high in soy have a reduced risk of developing breast cancer. Soy food intake during adolescence seems to correlate with decreased incidence of Breast Cancer among Chinese women. This benefit persists even when Asian women immigrate to the western cultures where soy is less likely to be a regular component of the diet. This suggests that early exposure to soy might be important for protection against Breast Cancer later in life. The estrogenic effect of soy might also be more pronounced in Asian women, possibly because of an ethnic difference in response. In Western-culture populations, an association between soy and breast cancer risk has not been established. Total dietary intake of phytoestrogens among Western-culture middle-aged women doesn't appear to be related, positively or negatively, to breast cancer risk.


VITAMIN A
Breast cancer
Epidemiological evidence shows an association between high dietary intake of vitamin A and a reduced risk of breast cancer among premenopausal women with a positive family history of breast cancer. However, it's not known if supplemental vitamin A has a similar benefit.


Possibly Ineffective:

BLACK TEA
Breast cancer
People who drink black tea do not seem to have a lower risk of breast cancer.


COFFEE
Breast cancer
Consumption of coffee doesn't seem to affect breast cancer incidence.


GARLIC
Breast cancer
Taking garlic orally does not seem to decrease the risk of developing breast cancer.


VITAMIN E
Breast cancer-related hot flashes
Taking vitamin E orally does not seem to significantly reduce hot flashes in women who have had breast cancer. There have been no clinical trials using vitamin E supplementation for postmenopausal symptoms.


Likely Ineffective:

VITAMIN E
Breast cancer
Neither dietary nor supplemental vitamin E intake has shown any protective effect for breast cancer or mammary dysplasia. However, there is some evidence that an inverse association might exist between serum vitamin E levels and the risk of developing breast cancer.


Insufficient Reliable Evidence to Rate:

ASTRAGALUS
Breast cancer and lung cancer
There is preliminary evidence that adjunctive use of astragalus in combination with glossy privet (Ligustrum lucidum) might increase survival rates in patients being treated conventionally for breast or lung cancer.


COENZYME Q-10
Breast cancer
There is preliminary evidence that coenzyme Q-10 might be helpful in advanced breast cancer along with surgery and conventional therapy plus other antioxidants and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.


CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID
Breast cancer
There is preliminary evidence that CLA might help reduce the risk of breast cancer. Postmenopausal women who have a higher intake of CLA in foods, particularly cheese, seem to have a lower risk of developing breast cancer. More evidence is needed to rate CLA for this use.


EUROPEAN MISTLETOE
Breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and gastric cancer
There is some preliminary clinical research that indicates European mistletoe extracts might improve survival in patients with solid tumors of the breast, colon, and stomach, but more research with better-designed studies is needed. Tell patients there isn't enough reliable research to support using European mistletoe to improve survival in any type of cancer.


GAMMA LINOLENIC ACID
Breast cancer
There is preliminary evidence that taking gamma linolenic acid orally seems to improve the response to tamoxifen in patients with breast cancer. More evidence is needed to rate gamma linolenic acid for this use.


LYCOPENE
Breast cancer
Preliminary research suggests that higher serum levels of lycopene might be protective against breast cancer.


VITAMIN B12
Breast cancer
Higher dietary folate intake is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer. The risk may even be further reduced in women who also consume high amounts of dietary vitamin B12 in combination with dietary pyridoxine and methionine. However, there is no evidence that dietary vitamin B12 alone reduces the risk of breast cancer.
